"Renata," call Lee, when they're already in the car heading for the company. Meanwhile, Gio and Shasha have returned home together with Sofia.
Hearing her name called Renata immediately averted her eyes. He looked back until he looked at Lee.
"Yes, sir."
"Pardon Sofia's attitude, she's like that because she doesn't want Gio and Shasha to be okay" said the man. He did not want it until Renata became not at home, because of his wife's spicy mouth. Renata is innocent.
While in front there, Renata immediately gulped. Gio and Shasha consider Sofia as their mother. So, he can't do anything yet. He has to give up a lot.
Renata nodded his head. He swears he will not surrender, despite having to fight Sofia later. "It's okay, sir. I understand, however, he is more entitled."
Lee simply blinked his eyes slowly. Then sit quietly while leaning his head on the back of the chair.
And from there, Renata increasingly sees the awkwardness of the relationship between Lee and Sofia. The man seemed to be limiting himself to his wife, for whatever reason.

While on the other side. Sofia, who is already very angry about the behavior of her two children and husband, begins to scold Gio and Shasha.
In Sofia's shadow, always appeared the face of the woman who had dared to seize her position. He believes the woman is very similar to Shasha, making him often unable to withstand the emotions on his chest.
As a wife, she felt betrayed. He hated it so much, he hated it so much that he wanted to slap or even tear the face apart.
And now instead came another woman by Lee's side. A woman who was suddenly liked by her two stepchildren, she would not let it all last long, because it would only make Lee increasingly ignore her.
"You know, he's a new guy! He could have been acting like shit if there was no Daddy or Mommy. So stop being so spoiled like that!" sofia said excitedly, hoping that the two boys understood.
Maybe when Gio and Shasha were babies, she could still endure her frustration. However, when both of them had grown up, the shadow of Alicia's face seemed to come in Sofia's eyes.
Although he had never met the woman, but the hatred was getting ingrained.
"But the pretty sister looks good, Mom," Shasha replied defending Renata.
"You just knew him. Of course he's being nice!"
"But Daddy wouldn't possibly accept bad guys working, would he, Mom?" timpal Gio, so go with his sister. Making Sofia open her eyes even more.
"You want to argue with Mommy?!" jolt the woman. Gio and Shasha instantly shut up, this is what they don't like about Sofia. Always forbid them to be close to others, to make them feel foreign.
While Lee knows Gio and Shasha always give distance to new people. They don't like it, so it's not easy to adapt.
Shasha started sobbing, and Gio immediately clasped his sister's hand to calm down. The little girl did not dare to make a sound, or Sofia would grow even more angry.
While Sofia immediately let out a rough breath. Then try to wipe Shasha's hair, but the little girl shakes, making Sofia even more furious.
He clenched his hands.
"Stop getting angry, Mom. Little sister was afraid," Gio said with his pleading voice. And right at that very moment, Sofia instantly came to a realization.
A similar reason, which makes Gio and Shasha try to understand the state of Sofia. Because both of them had seen Sofia and Lee having a big fight, and made them feel sorry for Sofia.
"I am so sorry" said Sofia once again as she spread out her hands. Fearfully, Gio and Shasha approached, and they hugged.

Evening arrived, all the workers gradually went out of their respective rooms to go home. Including Renata. He tidied up his desk, then grabbed the bag.
Before going out he approached Lee first. "Sir, can I go home?"
"Please!" reply Lee while extending out one hand. Renata smiled faintly, then stepped towards the door, but again he stopped right in front of Zack's desk.
"Assistant Zack, I go home first" said Renata, making the owner's name stunned. Because she always acts sweeter to him.
Was it all because he taught Renata?
"Yes, Miss. Be careful."
"Of course, you should also be careful, see you later."
Renata smiled to show her teeth. Then after that, he completely walked out of Lee's room. Leave a big question mark, for the two men who are still at their respective tables.
"Zack!" call Lee, make Zack wake up.
"Yes, sir."
He glanced at his cousin's sister with guts. "What's wrong with that woman? Why is his attitude so different when talking to you?"
He was asked immediately, because he also did not know the reason. "Nothing is different, sir. I think it's the same." Zack answered lying.
"You think I'm stupid?"
Gluey!
Zack immediately swallowed his saliva, he knew Lee was offended. It seems like tomorrow he will have to talk about this with Renata.
"Well, what do I care anyway? Forget it, it's not important!" lee continued, which made Zack blink his eyelids a few times. He was about to reply, but Lee immediately walked out of his room.
Zack flinched, he was like seeing the jealous soul of Gio within his older cousin.
"Two men are jealous of one woman!"
