"Just stop, you won't be able to get what you want." Said Claire
"No, I will not give up. I'm sure I can get Alex's love if I keep trying. Giving up is only for losers. " Stella said
Claire smiled and then approached Stella while staring at her. Then Claire whispered "Then I won't give up either" while smiling and leaving

Precious, who was hanging out with her friends, began to drift into pleasure and forget about her condition. She also drinks several glasses of wine with her friends even though she shouldn't drink it because she is pregnant. After drinking a few glasses Precious began to feel dizzy and her stomach ached.
Precious then said she wanted to go to the toilet for a while. Liza nodded her head and let Precious walk alone to the toilet. Precious walked slowly toward the toilet while enduring the pain in her head and stomach. But because her head was very dizzy and Precious could not help it, She fell and fainted.
Everyone was shocked to hear such a loud noise that their eyes were fixed in one direction and they were even more surprised to see Precious fainting. Alex who saw it immediately ran and held Precious with both hands. Alex rushed out and put Precious into his car.
With a pale face and very worried Alex turned the steering wheel and stepped on the gas until the car drove very fast towards the hospital.
Meanwhile Claire, who had just come out of the toilet, was surprised to see everyone looked worried. Claire approached Robert, who was drinking alone.
" What is this? Why are you alone, where is Alex? " Claire asked
"There was a female employee who fainted and now Alex is taking her to the hospital. Why did you take so long in the toilet? " said Robert
"I met and talked with a very interesting person." Said Claire
Time goes by and finally the dinner is over. Everyone left very happy while saying goodbye. Robert who was getting ready to go home accidentally saw Liza who was standing in front of the restaurant. Liza looks restless while occasionally glancing at her watch. Robert then approached her because he could not let a girl stand alone in the middle of the night.
"Liza, let me take you home." Said Robert offering a ride
"No need, sir. I don't want to bother you, anyway I am waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up. ” Liza said smoothly refusing
"It's okay, just go in. It's not good for a woman to be alone in the middle of the night, too dangerous. After all, it's not a hassle at all. " Said Robert
After thinking for a moment Liza finally accepted the offer from her boss. Robert then drove Liza home and when they arrived in front of Liza's house, they accidentally bumped into Dennis who had just returned from the nightclub.
Dennis who was in a very drunk condition went berserk when he saw Liza get out of another man's car. Various prejudices crossed his mind especially when he saw Robert waving to Liza with a smile.
Dennis who was jealous of the fire immediately approached Robert with emotional steps then hit him hard. Liza who was surprised to see it immediately pulled Dennis and tried to hold her boyfriend. But Dennis slapped her hard instead.
"What are you doing behind my back? You bitch, you are so cheap and it makes me so sick. " Said Dennis, who was full of emotion
"Hey, calm down first. I think you're misunderstanding. " Said Robert trying to calm Dennis
"Shut up, I'm talking to my girlfriend don't interfere!" snapped Dennis
" Your girlfriend? Now you care about me ?! What do you care if I walk and have fun with someone. You're always busy with your business, why can't I have fun? " said Liza releasing all her frustration
"You bitch. I didn't know you were so cheap like this. What have you been doing behind my back? Have you made love to her? " said Dennis, looking down
Liza who was very upset to hear him immediately slapped Dennis hardly. Dennis who is getting emotional because Liza has slapped him, he raises his hand and intends to hit his girlfriend. But fortunately, Robert immediately stood in front of Liza and held Dennis's hand.
"I know I shouldn't interfere, but I can't stand by and see someone hurting a weak woman. You said you were her boyfriend, you shouldn't have insulted and hit your girlfriend like this. " Said Robert
"Who are you to try to teach me like this. Did she serve you so satisfyingly that you defended her like this? " said Dennis, who increasingly hurt Liza who heard it
"You are her boyfriend, you shouldn't say that. I am the boss where your girlfriend works and I only drive her home because I can't let her go home alone in the middle of the night. Is that enough for you? " said Robert explained
Liza who was very sad and disappointed went straight into her house. Robert let go of Dennis's hand then he walked and stopped just as he stood next to Dennis.
"You better be nice to her or I might take her from you. Don't make me intend to have her. " Said Robert then left Dennis
Liza locked herself in the room, she cried while covering herself with a blanket. Dennis's words were like a knife stabbing into her heart. They'd been dating for a couple of years and she didn't expect the painful words to be said by Dennis so easily.
Dennis who had just entered the house immediately walked into Liza's room. He tried to open the room but Liza had locked the door from inside. Dennis knocked on the door several times but Liza ignored him, the disappointment and sadness she felt made Liza did not want to meet her boyfriend. Liza could only cry until she finally fell asleep.

The sun shone brightly and slowly Liza opened her eyes. Liza then stood up and looked at the mirror while watching her eyes that were swollen from crying all night. Liza then opened the door and she was surprised to see Dennis sleeping in front of her room.
Instantly Liza's heart melted to see it. Liza took the blanket and then covered Dennis with it. Liza went to the kitchen and prepared breakfast for both of them. The delicious smell of the food Liza cooked made Dennis open his eyes.
Dennis then sat down at the dinner table and ate with Liza. Initially they only silent and occasionally glanced at each other. Until finally they finished eating and when Liza tidied the plate, Dennis held Liza's hand and they looked at each other.
"Sorry, I was too drunk last night and couldn't control myself. But you also know that I do that because I love you so much and don't want to lose you. " Said Dennis
"I couldn't control myself when I saw another man drop you off. I'm very sorry for saying the words that hurt you, I'm sorry. ” Said Dennis, looking at Liza with a pleading and deep look
"Okay, but don't say that again next time." Said Liza
"I promise, I will never do that again. In exchange, how about we go for vacation together this weekend? " said Dennis
Hearing that, Liza immediately smiled broadly and hugged Dennis tightly. This is a very valuable thing for Liza since she always has trouble organizing time so they can be together. Especially Dennis who always refused when she wanted to date. Hearing that Dennis wanted to spend time with her made Liza very happy.
