Hear Ye, What She Used To Be!

"Are you sure?" Kady asks Sheen while handing her the photos he collected.

"Yes, don't worry too much. We'll talk with Mr. Guandemo later, this is enough to prove that she is doing business without his knowledge," Sheen smiled and took the envelope.

After telling Sheen what Kady's men collected, they opened the decision of going back to their city.

"Let me know if anything happens, I'll go back here if you need--"

"We'll do whatever we can to help," Blue pats Kady's shoulder, cutting his words. Since Kady decided to go back, he's been panicking about Sheen's safety. Even during their drive to meet her, Kady can't stop overthinking negative events that may happen when he's gone.

Sheen smiled softly and sighs, "I'm going to miss you guys," she said then softly punch Kady and Blue's chest, "A lot happened when you guys arrived. It was... super. I can't believe this is my life now." Sheen said with an excited look.

Kady frowns, a lot happened but Sheen's going to have her own life. Something that he thought would revolve around him when he came back.

"Kady's going to miss you. it's his fault for being cocky at first, if he was like this at the start then you might still be with us," Blue said then laughed after remembering the chase that happened in the mall before.

Sheen and Kady looked at each other then joined Blue's laughter.

"Anyway, thank you for your help. I will miss you too. Don't forget inviting me to your wedding, Blue," Sheen said.

"Yeah. But I think you will get married first," Blue pinched Sheen cheeks, "We'll visit when Bea gives birth."

"Okay, bye, Kady. Bye, Blue. Tell Elgeen I'll miss her," Sheen said as she enters a taxi to meet with Clark at the restaurant for the meeting with Mr. Guandemo.

"See you again," Blue waves his hand.

Kady gulps and stared at Sheen who's looking from the window, "Good luck," he whispered and nodded.

Sheen took her phone and called Wyn, who took some time before accepting the call.

"Hey, Wyn," Sheen greeted while looking through the picture. The street's a bit traffic and she'll take some time before arriving at the restaurant.

"Yes?" Wyn's voice seems to be distressed and anxious.

"Are you okay? Is something wrong?"

Wyn looks at Aria, who's sitting across the room, her eyes are on the files about Star company, "Ye-yeah, no worries," he turned around and faced the balcony.

"Well... Kady and Blue are going back, did you talk to--" Sheen paused when she saw the picture of Wyn entering a hotel followed by Aria's photo going at the same place.

"What? Talk to them?"

"Yeah," Sheen bit her lip, "Where are you?"

"At the office, why? I'll talk to Kady later. Do you need anything? I have work to do," Wyn's face turned cold when he saw Star Company standing at the other side of the street.

Now his father's got hold of the company, he can't pull the game with his own hands. His father will find out that he will turn over Aria to Clark and ruin everything.

"Nothing. I just... want to check on you," Sheen's voiced softened, she's feeling numb, a mixture of sadness and confusion stirred her stomach, "I'm sorry to bother you. But... I just want to tell you, I'm your friend no matter what."

Wyn took a deep breath with a frown, "I know," he replied then sucked his lips, suppressing his tears, "I know. Just please, trust me."

"Yeah, I will. I am proud of you, Wyn. I am. I'll... talk to you after all this. We have to talk and we'll have a blast," Sheen put the photos inside and sighed, "Bye."

"Bye, Secretary Paul," he said in a raised voice, "Thank you, Sheen," he whispered and turned the call off.

Sheen took a deep breath and stared at the envelope, even though Wyn did make her angry the other day, she can't leave him be. He's a friend who needs help.

Bea also discussed why Wyn did that and Sheen decided that she doesn't have a space for a ruined friendship just because someone's going psycho.

"Who's that?" Aria asked without looking at Wyn.

"Secretary Paul, he said I have to talk to some business partners downstairs," Wyn said and went back to sit down in front of Aria, "So, what do you think?"

"This isn't enough. We have to take all their investors and... everything!" Aria shouted and threw the files at the floor.

"What happened?" Wyn sighs and rests his hands on the armchair, "Who pissed you?"

Since Aria and Wyn are talking and working together for some time, Wyn knows that she's a chill person, talking bad and smiling devilishly, but she never loses her composure.

Aria takes a couple of deep breath and sighs, "Louis, he backed out. He doesn't want to work with me anymore. He can be a threat. We have to destroy him," Aria said fastly, her eyes glancing right and left.

Wyn suddenly felt chills run through his body while staring at Aria, "What? Destroy?" His voice trembles, he never thought that Aria can go that far for such cause.

"Yes! We have to pull him out of the company. What happened to the rumor? Why didn't it bother Clark?" Aria asks in a chaotic tone, raising up and down.

Wyn made a fist to suppress his terror, "How can we do that?"

"I'll make a rumor about Louis about plagiarising works. And when he's kicked out, he'll come running back," Aria nods her head, "Yeah, then he can work for me again."

"But he won't have a connection with the Star company if that happens, he won't be of use anymore," Wyn said while his heart thumps too loud, still in a panic of Aria's thoughts. He secretly opened his phone and called Sheen back since moving can make it obvious that he's using his phone.

"What?" Aria looked at Wyn as if she didn't think of the consequence of kicking Louis out of Star Company, "He won't be useful, then, I don't need him."

Aria stands up and pulled her phone out of her bag, "Then, if I can't use him, neither can Clark."

Sheen picks up, "Aria, I have to take this call. It's Secretary Paul, go ahead, I'll be back," Wyn said and tried to sound in a hurry.

Aria just looks at him and made her phone call.

Wyn went out of the room and hides, "Sheen, Louis is in trouble. Aira might be planning on killing him," he said in a panic.

"What?" Sheen screamed, "Louis? Why?"

"He pissed Aria off since he cut his connections with him, you have to hurry and make sure he's safe." Wyn walks back and forth of the hallway.

"I'm not in the company right now..." Sheen looks right and left, checking where she is, "I'm far from the company. I'll call Dan and call you right back."

"Okay," Wyn turned the call off and leans at the wall. His phone buzzed and saw Secretary Paul's text: "Sir, Miss Aria's men are on move."

Only Paul, his secretary's trust-worthy. He's been his guard since Wyn became Blue's guard, only hiding behind the bushes since Wyn's father wanted him to learn.

"Follow them and report what is happening. Be careful," Wyn replied.

After a few seconds, Sheen calls him.

"What happened?" Wyn asks.

"Dan's with him. They will hide him in Clark's office. No one can enter the room now since Clark's not around. He's safe there. There are security guards."

"Thank goodness," Wyn buries his face in his hand and bows in relief.

"Are you okay? What happened? Where's Aria?"

"I'm good. She's in the office but maybe she left already since I said I need to do things," Wyn replied and slowly, he slides down the wall, sitting on the cold tiled floor.

"I see. Wyn... please be careful. I didn't know Aria can do such a thing."

"Right. I was shocked when I heard her. I didn't want to... I'm sorry, if I didn't agree with what she wanted at first, no one would get hurt."

Sheen went silent for some time, thinking about what she should say since he's right.

"I'll see you soon, Sheen. Please be careful," Wyn said as he notices that Sheen might be feeling uncomfortable.

"No worries, Wyn. Whatever happens, I'm here. You don't need to be sorry. Bea's worried about you, call her sometime."

"Yeah. Bye."

Wyn dropped the phone on the floor and sinks into his knees.

"All I wanted is my father's attention and... his attention," Wyn whispered as his tears slowly leave his eyes.

Sheen stares down at her phone with a frown, she want to go and see Wyn but meeting Mr. Guandemo is a huge deal, she can't let Clark talk to him alone. She has to know what is happening.

She decided to send a message to Wyn instead: "Hey you, green eyes and curly brown hair. I know things are overwhelmed and everything's just spinning around. You're blaming yourself, evaluating every decision you make but guess what? You're learning and you're starting to know what you want. Welcome to reality, we can't make the right decision with a blink of an eye but we can change the flow of our life. We have the oar of our boats, Wyn. If you want to help yourself, help me. We're collecting information about Aria. I'll talk to Clark and tell him you're not up to no good. Just, help me. If you want to, text me back and I'll send you the address and meet me there."

Wyn looks at his phone vibrating at the floor and wiped his tears when he saw Sheen's name.

He read the message and stared at the cream-painted silent halls.

Slowly, he got up and went to his office.

Aria's nowhere to be found. The only evidence she was there is the files scattered at the floor.

He looked at his phone and replied to Sheen, "Yes. I'll help you, I can't go on with a person who attempts to kill someone."

Sheen smiled when she received the message and got down the taxi, entering the restaurant as she gives the address of the place.

She saw Clark and Luke Guandemo sitting together. She made her way to sit beside Clark and shook Mr. Guandemo's hand.

"Good evening, Doctor," Sheen said and smiled.

"How are you, Miss Sheen? Do you want me to check your health?" Luke said while holding Sheen's hand with a seductive smile.

Clark clears his throat and stared at Luke, "We're not here to have a check-up, Luke. Can you tell me what's with Aria these past days?"

Luke lets go of Sheen and untighten his necktie, "I don't know. Honestly, I'm busy with the hospital and I wasn't able to check up on her. But... there was a day where she didn't pick up my call and since then, she usually just leaves a message after my miss call and she's always busy."

Sheen stares at Luke while speaking, accessing whether he's telling the truth or not.

"About what you said, I will not cover her if you find anything. I won't stand for her."

"Why?" Sheen asks. She raised her brow in amusement, why won't Aria's husband stand up for her?

"Can I?" Luke gestures his hand over to Sheen while looking at Clark for approval.

Sheen looks at them weirdly, knowing that something's not right while Clark nodded and ordered their food.

Luke sighed, "I met Aira in a hospital where she was receiving her therapy," he took a sip of wine and looks away.

Sheen looks at Clark who seemed to be uncomfortable with the topic.

Luke continued, "She was suffering from an antisocial personality disorder. It was said that the reason may be because her father used to... harm her and her mother." Clark stands up and went to the comfort room.

Sheen looks at him worriedly but she turned back to Luke who looks like someone just died, "I was..." Luke clears his throat, "In short, I married her when she was getting better. But during these past years, it's as if it's going back."

Sheen found herself dumb-founded.

They were silent until the food arrives followed by Clark.

No one spoke, as if they are all in terror of the fact that Aria's not well which makes her do things.

Only Sheen's phone brought back their consciousness back.

"It's Wyn," she said and took the call. "Hey, where are you?"

Sheen stands up and looks at the entrance, she saw Wyn walking towards them, he looks miserable.

His hair's messed up, his clothes are wrinkled, his face looks swell.

Clark took a glance at his little half-brother, a pinch of sadness ran over his veins after looking at the kid who used to get jealous over him, now looking like a crushed eggshell.

He unconciously stands up and pats Wyn's shoulder which made Wyn stunned. Sheen was even holding Clark back, thinking that he was going to punch him.

Clark paused, shocked by what he did and cleared his throat, Sheen started smirking at him and pats his arm.

Wyn looks at Sheen, wondering what is happening.

"You two want to talk first? I'll keep Mr. Guandemo's company," Sheen said and waits for Clark's answer.

"Yeah, we'll be back," Clark replied and walks toward the exit leading to a small garden in the middle of the restaurant's building followed by Wyn.

Sheen went back to sit with Luke and cleared her throat, "Then, I'll tell you what your missus was busy about," she said and stared at Luke with a blank expression.
