Morning arrived, and the company's cocktail party went on as scheduled. Everyone was waiting for Theo to show up.

Tomaz appeared with large dark circles under his eyes, looking disheveled. People around him were visibly put off by his appearance, but Tomaz seemed unfazed.

loan approached him, and the contrast was stark. Aside from the difference in the quality of their clothes, loan's demeanor and appearance outshone Tomaz completely.

With a knowing smile, loan patted Tomaz on the shoulder and said, "Gosh, Tomaz. What happened to you?"

"Nothing," Tomaz replied, pushing loan away and giving him a cold, weary stare. His bloodshot eyes made him look extremely tired.

"What were you up to last night? You didn't go out for fun again, did you?"

Tomaz's face began to show signs of anger, his relaxed expression tightening. He turned and walked away without saying anything more.

Nonetheless, loan was not ready to let go of this opportunity to mock him. He followed Tomaz and whispered, "Hey, did you know the building next to our company caught on fire last night?"

This statement made Tomaz's previously lifeless eyes widen. He stopped and turned mechanically toward loan. "What does that have to do with me?"

Sensing an opportunity, loan placed his hand on Tomaz's shoulder again. "Oh, of course, it has nothing to do with you. Even though your personality is unpleasant, I doubt you'd do such a thing."

Tomaz could not tolerate loan's sarcasm any longer. He grabbed loan's collar tightly and said, "Listen, this has nothing to do with me. And I don't want to hear you buzzing around me like a mosquito anymore. Got it?!" "Of course."

Tomaz shoved loan away and turned to leave.

loan adjusted his collar, his playful smile replaced by a sinister glare as he watched Tomaz walk off.

Just then, Tomaz's phone rang. Seeing it was his daughter calling, he went to the restroom to take the call.

"Hello, sweetheart. What's up?"

"Daddy, you're the best. The bag is so pretty."

"I'm glad you like it, sweetheart."

"By the way, Dad, I'm going on a trip soon. Can you wire some more money to me?"

"How much?"

"Not much, just 20 grand. My friends and I are planning to visit Floraland to experience the local culture."

Tomaz hesitated. The money he had now was his lifeline and was essential for his comeback.

"What's wrong, Daddy?"

"Nothing... I'll wire it later. I'm at work right now."

"Okay, Daddy. Love you. Bye."

Tomaz wanted to say more, but Yessika had already hung up.
