"Ming!" Camilla shouted in a panic as she ran over to pull Guan Ming back. She had been shocked by his sudden action of punching Cedric in the face.

"Fuck, damnit Ming, why in the face?" Cedric asked as he grabbed a cloth and placed it on his nose as he bled. 

"You fucking deserved it." Guan Ming shouted.

"Nice to see you again, Ming." Ian said with a laugh as he got up and walked out of the room to fetch a first aid kid.

"Ming, why the hell did you punch Cedric?" Camilla asked as she tried her best to calm Guan Ming down.

"Really? You need to  ask me that?" Guan Ming said as he gave her an irritated look.

"Yes, I do!" Camilla shouted. "It was my choice, not Cedric, not anyone else's. Cedric was even publicly humiliated when I stepped out of that car with Lucius Ting."

"He should have stopped you, he should have found a way out for you!" Guan Ming argued back.

"How? You know how stubborn I am, do you really think Cedric could convince me?" Camilla asked as she tried to lower her voice. She didn't want to make the fight any worse. 

They were all allies in this room, nott enemies, but now they were fighting each other.

"Are you guys done with your lover's spat yet?" Cedric asked as he walked over to his mini ref and took out a bottle of water. "Cause as entertaining as this is, I would like to get some sleep."

"How could you let her fucking do that Cedric?" Guan Ming asked, this time he was no longer shouting, but Camilla could feel his anger in his tone.

"Do you think I want someone I consider like a sister waltzing into enemy territory and entering a fake relationship with a man I despise?" Cedric asked as he gritted his teeth.

"I'm back, what did I miss?" Ian asked as he walked in with the first aid kit.

"Ugh, as annoying as ever." Guan Ming said as he rolled his eyes at Ian.

"You guys are way too serious." Ian said with a laugh as he walked over to check up on Cedric. "I really don't see what Camilla sees in you. Such a stiff and serious person, you are no fun."

"Don't tell me you think you are the fun one here." Camilla said as she pointed at Ian.

"Much more fun than these two." Ian said with a laugh as he dressed Cedric's injury.

"If I'm not mistaken you were the one that was continuously sulking about some sort of revenge plan." Cedric pointed out.

"Do you want me to help you or not?" Ian grumbled. "Plus I still am, but in a better light now. Just one more step and I can live peacefully."

"Two." Camilla corrected him.

"What do you mean two?" Ian asked.

"Get your name back on top and convince Nicole to marry you." Camilla teased.

"Ian found a girl that could stand him?" Guan Ming asked as he laughed at his own joke.

"Don't pretend you don't have spies around us, Ming." Ian said as he finished helping Cedric out. "I know what resources you have at your disposal, I'm not the same Ian Lim as before."

"Clearly." Guan Ming said as he grinned. "You've gotten visibly older." He added, teasing Ian.

"And you've developed an even worse attitude, I didn't think that was possible." Ian pointed out. "I swear, you are crazy Camilla. Ming isn't worth waiting ten years for."

Camilla simply laughed at Ian and wrapped her arms around Guan Ming. 

"Stop fighting with them." She said as she hugged him tight.

Cedric smiled at the sight of Camilla madly in love. He had never seen this side of her, what made it even more special, was the fact that the man she loved was his friend.

"Fine." Guan Ming finally said as he kissed her on the lips. "But that doesn't mean I'm not mad at Cedric for letting you fake date Lucius Ting."

"You need to let go, my love." Camilla said with a sweet smile. "Having so much anger will kill you earlier and it will make you look old. Do you want to look as old as Ian and Cedric? Those two are always angry at someone."

"We are not!" Ian said as he shook his head, making everyone in the room laugh.

Eventually Guan Ming calmed down and took a seat next to Camilla.

"So is everyone calm and level headed?" Cedric asked, to which Ian and Guan Ming nodded.

"Great, Ming, I'd like you to meet my wife, Adrianna Hernandez - Reyes." Cedric said as he introduced Guan Ming to his wife.

"It's an honor to finally meet you." Guan Ming said as he shook Adrianna's hand.

"Likewise." Adrianna said with a smile.

"Cedric told me so much about you when we first met, I was surprised he could even function without you." Guan Ming commented, making everyone laugh.

"I missed him terribly that time too." Adrianna replied with a smile.

"So Ming it was Cedric that dragged you over?" Ian asked Guan Ming.

"Yes, plus it was the perfect excuse to finally meet up with Camilla." Guan Ming said as he looked lovingly at the woman next to him.

"Wait, so everything you are doing with Lucius Ting. All the publicity and the noise about partnering up with him, that was yours and Cedric's plan?" Camilla asked.

"Yes." Cedric said with a nod.

"It was more Cedric than me." Guan Ming admitted. "He arranged for the media to be there as Lucius Ting left the hotel. He also arranged for the members of the media to know that I was arriving at the airport. I just didn't expect Wu Jun to be arriving at the same time as me."

"So what did Cedric promise you in exchange for your help?" Ian asked.

"Aside from the fact that this was my chance to finally see the woman I love?" Guan Ming asked. "Well, he said I could deal with Wu Jun however I saw fit. And man, that kid, I've wanted to beat him up. He is the reason why I couldn't come back to find Camilla."

"Why?" Ian asked.

"He made it seem like I was in a relationship with you.." Guan Ming grumbled, making Camilla laugh.
