After obtaining evidence of Maria's crimes, Natalie went to Maria's office wearing a beautiful red dress, she also wore her high heals with her small black bag. Natalie walked into Maria's office confidently, the sound of Natalie's heals filled Maria's room, Maria who had been focused on reading the file she had to submit to Mr. Mac turned her head towards the sound of Natalie's footsteps.

"I just found out that someone is wearing heals here," Maria said to herself,

Shortly after, Natalie opened the door to Maria's room rudely, "Brakk!" of course Maria was surprised at that time. Natalie, who didn't want to mince words, immediately threw the dress that Maria had broken.

"This is your doing, right?" asked Natalie, Maria who didn't want to be caught immediately dodged.

"What are you saying? I don't understand," replied Maria as she stood up from where she was sitting.

"Grace, I've found it, you don't have to try so hard to evade," Natalie said firmly.

"Ha ha ha, you think I'm going to freak out at the mention of that whore's name?" Maria was indifferent to Natalie's bluster,

"Grace, come in!" ordered Natalie, who had brought Grace with her.

Grace with her face downcast walked into Maria's room, "Ma-sorry, Miss Natale wants to put me in jail so..." before Grace could finish her sentence, Natalie interrupted her.

"Grace, you don't need to explain to this woman, let's just say I want you to stop the project with my father, it is a form of compensation for what you have done to my boutique," said Natalie who immediately sat on the sofa in Maria's room.

"What the hell are you doing? Just because of this bitch's words I have to stop my project? No way!" replied Maria with her face looking flushed.

"Well I'm going to upload my conversation with Grace today on social media, this just makes the career you built on someone's death will soon be destroyed," Natalie threatened Maria.

"Wh-what? Again she mentions someone's death, does she know that I killed Jessie?" said Maria in her heart.

"Why? are you afraid? choose one I will wait for her until tomorrow, Grace do you want to stay here or go with me?" Natalie asked Grace,

Grace nodded and followed Natalie's steps who left Maria's room until the shadows of the two were no longer visible.

An angry Maria threw the items on her desk, "Asshole! Natalie, how can you threaten me, just watch me expose your rottenness!" Maria was breathing heavily, she called Hans who was in his office.

"Hello, Maria, what's wrong?" asked Hans, who was in his office with his secretary.

"I suspect something about Natalie, I'm going to your office!" said Maria who looked still emotional,

"Wh-what do you mean? Maria, please lose your jealousy of Natalie, I thought you were fine these days, apparently you started this discussion again," said Hans who was already fed up with Maria.

"Jessie," Hans' face also looked surprised by the name Maria mentioned, Hans froze for a while, "Natalie came to me many times, and vice versa, but she always mentioned about someone's death and she never discussed it further you know, I won't ask what that means either because you and I could be in danger," Maria explained further through her cellphone.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in an hour," said Hans who then hung up the phone, Hans' face looked pale he was afraid that his crime which he had been hiding tightly would be exposed.

After a while, Maria came to Hans' office, Hans' secretary had prepared tea for Maria who was sitting on the sofa in Hans' room.

"Thank you, you can continue your work," Hans said to his secretary.

They finally started talking when they had made sure that no one would eavesdrop on them.

"Hans, are you sure Natalie has nothing to do with Jessie?" Maria asked Hans, "I know you've been having an affair with Natalie so don't dodge it again, for now I won't discuss it because there are more important things than that," Maria said,

"You know, there were some times I also thought she was Jessie, it's just that Natalie was too proud to be considered as Jessie, you know when she found out about our affair? She only moved her property but never did anything rude like bullying you," explained Hans who had indeed thought Natalie was Jessie when ordering drinks at the caffe.

"You're right, but he always said that I reveled in the death of someone who else if not Jessie? You remember that day only the two of us know," Maria looked troubled when remembering the incident, both of them had cruelly killed someone they had hurt.

"Then, what should we do?" Hans asked Maria,

"We have to move first Hans, find evidence that shows that Natalie is Jessie," said Maria confidently,

"How? She's obviously Mr. Mac's daughter," asked Hans in confusion,

"We have to make her confess, Hans you still remember Jessie's habit in any case, we have to make her confess that way so that she can't circumvent it, then at the same time we finish her off with one blow" Maria fiercely wanted to eliminate Jessie for the second time.

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Natalie was seen sitting with Grace in a cafeteria, "Leave your old job, work in my boutique!" ordered Natalie who looked cruel but had a soft heart.

"Wh-what?" Grace sharpened her hearing,

"You don't want to? I may not pay you as much as Maria, but if you work with me you can earn more money than Maria gave you," Natalie said as she drank the strawberry juice in front of her.

"No-Nona, of course I want to thank you Miss Natalie," said Grace who smiled happily at Natalie's offer. At first she thought she was going to jail but Natalie had promised her that she would protect her if she confessed, and Natalie had proved her word by taking Grace into her boutique and working officially.

"One thing you have to remember Grace, I don't like a traitor, even though everyone does, but I really don't tolerate that," Natalie explained,

"Well Miss I will remember your words, and also all the kindness you gave me," Grace replied confidently.

Meanwhile, Hans and Maria, who were elsewhere, began to formulate their evil plan to eliminate Jessie, who was now disguised as Natalie.
