CHARLIE and RYAN cannot tolerate WAI and their resignations happen to coincide. When CHARLIE reveals to her parents about her resignation, at the same time TAK also tells the family about his early retirement as to avoid his staff being laid off. When CHARLIE and RYAN are out for work, she surprisingly finds that BILL and WAI are together buying a car. CHARLIE believes that BILL is betraying her and asks to see him at night. Having breakfast with the family, CHARLIE finds that BILL has advertised on the front page of the newspaper to apologize. Back to the office, WAI pours ridicule on CHARLIE about it.

In order to raise the TV ratings, LAI is requested to carry on the video recording at the market and the result turns out to be very successful. BILL gets help from MEI to date CHARLIE out but all of a sudden a guard is there to protect CHARLIE.
