"Bec! Make it quick! I have to go now!" Joel was yelling from the car. "Can't you be a bit more patient? Geez..." Bec replied as he was putting on his shoes. "I've no time to be patient! U have work in half an hour and I STILL have to send you to your college. FASTER!" Joel was shouting at the top of his lungs. "You don't have to be that angry." Bec just muttered. "WHAT?!" Joel asked. "Nothing. Just drive" Bec replied as he closed the car door. 'You maybe 3 minutes older than me but it feels like 30 years. So grumpy!' Bec was thinking.

Joel dropped Bec off in front of AdamLambert College and sped off to work. He gave a sigh of relief as he needn't put up with his brother's annoying acts for the rest of the day. 'I wonder when will I see her again...?' Joel thought, but he shook the thought off.

While Jay was walking out of the school, Leanne caught up with her. "Hey, Jay! Where are you going? I don't see your car around." Leanne exclaimed. "Ha ha! I'm going to dad's shop today" Jay replied cheerily. "Erm...Jay, you do know that your dad's company is not just a single store but a chain of it, right? Its nationwide!" Leanne said. "Oh, really? Well, isn't that amazing! Ha ha!" Jay said politely. 'Weird person' Leanne thought jokingly. "You know, Jay, I think I'm in love!" Leanne confessed to Jay while they were in the bus on the way to the city. "Huh? What?" Jay was snapped back form her memories of the dream. "I said, I think I'm in love!" Leanne repeated excitedly. "Oh, I see. Who is the lucky guy?" Jay asked. "You know the guy you met the other day in your dad's store?" Leanne said. "Yeah. Why? Is he the one you're on love with?" Jay asked back. "Yeah! He is so good looking! I've been there several times just to see him! I hope he doesn't think of me as a stalker though!" Leanne suddenly went into panic mode. "I'm sure he doesn't think of you like that!" Jay said with a firm yet gentle way. Leanne was convinced immediately. "Yeah. You're right! What about you, Jay? Anyone you're interested with? He he!" Leanne asked with a grin on her face. 'How the heck am I supposed to say I'm interested with a guy whom I've no idea of his identity?! I was supposed to find out today anyways.' Jay was freaking out a little bit but calmed down and replied "No. No one at all"

When they arrived in front of the store, Leanne took a deep breath. "Here I go!" She said as she stepped in. The entrance to the store gave a mellow buzz sound. "How may I help you?" A girl popped up from their backs. Leanne was a bit disappointed because it wasn't Joel who came. Jay could tell Leanne felt a little upset, so she distracted the girl. "Can you show me around? Only me." Jay said. The sales girl felt a little bit on an awkwardness in the air so she quickly said yes and started showing Jay around. Leanne wondered on her own. 'I wonder where he went' Leanne thought as she glanced through some of the speakers on display.

'I wonder when will she come?' Joel was sitting behind the store's counter. It was quite slow in business today, so he didn't have much work to do. "Joel Cleon. Come to my office, please." Joel's heart skipped a beat. 'Did I do something wrong?!' Joel was panicking. The manager was seated behind his desk. His face was serious and fierce. "Do you know why I called you in, Joel?" the manager asked. 'Man, this feels like being in a principal's office!' Joel thought. "I'm not sure, sir." Joel replied. "Well, you're being promoted to the manager. Congratulations." The manager said a matter of fact-ly. "What? You mean, I'm taking over your position?" Joel asked, baffled. "Yes, I'm transferring to another branch in Hokkaido, and there's no one more suitable for this job than you. Please accept this offer." "GLADLY! Thank you sir!" Joel said, obviously hyped up about the new position. "You start today, Joel, the manager!" The, no ex-manager said with a proud smile. 'She'll be the first person I'm gonna tell this good news to!'

'I wonder where is she?' Joel asked no one in particular. That was when he saw the girl of his dreams standing by the computers. 'My angel!'
