Shuji caught up with his father in the living room as he was reading the newspaper and approached him.
"You're not going to your work, Papa?" Shuji questioned his father and sat down next to their sofa.
"I will not go to the company, son I will wait for the arrival of my godchild from China the apartment he lived in burned down and she is also looking for a job," Raiden told his son before dropping the newspaper he was reading.
"Doesn't she have parents she can live with?" Shuji asked his father as he turned to look.
“His mother and sister were dead after his dad married someone else of course she didn’t want to be with the second family so he contacted me and asked for help,” Raiden told his son.
"Female or male?" Shuji asked his father and he ordered the passing maid to bring him coffee.
"My godchild is a girl, you didn't know her because she's been moving around since her sister and mother died," Raiden said to his son with a thoughtful question.
"What do you think, Papa?" Shuji asks his father.
"Son, if your agency is looking for a model, please ask your manager if she can be a freelance model and an employee of a mall in China. If there was a fire in her apartment and she was fired, don't contact me she can be proud." Raiden said to his son as he looked after him.
"When will he come here?" Shuji asked his father after staring.
"Maybe she'll come home at night, why?" Raiden asked his son.
'It just so happens that Papa's godchild is looking for a good job or is she looking good? I'll recommend she's looking for my manager.' Shuji said in his mind and smiled at the maid who approached him with a coffee.
"Is it urgent? Papa, if yes I will ask my manager first and I will examine her of course as I have been a model in the agency for a long time and I regularly don't want to be embarrassed." Shuji said to his father and drank the coffee that the maid had brought to them.
"Yes!" Raiden said as his son looked at him.
"Are you saying something, Papa?" Shuji asked his father when he heard what it said.
"Nothing," Raiden replied to his son wondering at their father.
"I'm about to go to work, I'll text Miku to say hello to her in Japan later, I'll check on your godchild or I'll have a day off tomorrow," Shuji said to his father and he finished his coffee before saying goodbye.
On the other hand when Shuji left their house. Lixue arrived at the home of his godfather Raiden.
"'Nong!" Lixue greets her godfather Raiden after she is let in as a maid inside the house.
"Nin zhongyu laile, keyi xian zuo zai zheli." Raiden greeted her godchild happily.
(You're here, at last, you can sit here first.)
"Zhe shi wo de jianli zuo wan nin gaosu wo wo yao zhaogu nin de erzi, suoyi wo chidaole nin de fangzi," Lixue said as she showed her resume.
(This is my resume when you told me last night I was going to look after your son, so I late going to your house.)

"What if they find them at the company you put in?" Raiden asked her godchild.
"My work job was legitimate before I became your agent, then," Lixue said to her godfather Raiden.
Raiden's gaze turned to his godchild as it had changed over the past year.
"Show it later if he comes home early," Raiden replied to her godchild.
Raiden accompanied his godchild to his new room.
"Come on, this is my son's room," Raiden said to her godchild.
"I found out you had an adoption, 'cause you didn't mention it to me," Lixue asked her godfather Raiden as he looked up.
"I adopted the child when I got back to Japan your ninang asked me to adopt the child because she can no longer get pregnant because she is in her thirties with our first child, and she will have a hard time getting pregnant," Raiden said in he sighed as he turned his gaze.
Lixue nodded to her godfather Raiden and entered inside he was carrying three suitcases.
"I'm leaving, hija you take care of it first," Raiden said to his godchild and he tapped her on the shoulder.
Raiden instructed the other maid and bodyguards.
Inside the studio, stylists arrange for models for the photoshoot.
"Guys, did you find it?" the manager asked the models as they approached after the photoshoot.
"My cousin, manager, I talked to him next week," Erika replied.
"I'll just talk to those I know, manager." the female model said.
"Papa had a visitor who came to another country, I'll talk to her first she can speak and understand Tagalog," Shuji replied to the manager because for him everyone looked top male model because he was at their job.
"On Monday, the person you're going to talk to should go. I want to meet them," the manager replied to the models before he left.
After their photoshoot a few hours later Shuji waits for his girlfriend in the dressing room and he delivers it to the taping.
"Wait! Brad, you're with us." Akatsuki was with his friend in the back and followed.
"I can't, I'll take Erika to her taping and I'll review the bar exam," Shuji replied to his friend.
"Of course, you've been dreaming about it for a long time you failed in the beginning," Akatsuki replied to his friend.
Shuji and Erika said goodbye to their fellow models as well as their friend and manager.
"Are you coming home right away?" Erika asked her boyfriend as he delivered her to the location.
"Yes, darling your manager will pick you up," Shuji replied he kissed his girlfriend on the lips.
Shuji returned to their house and he was walking inside and heard people laughing in the kitchen.
"Manang?" Shuji calls their maids as he enters their mansion.
"Sir Shuji, you're already here." the maid approached.
"Who are you?" Shuji asked Lixue who was turning away.
"Sir, she's sir Raiden's visitor he left for an emergency." the maid said pointing at Lixue.
Lixue turned around and saw the writhing man.
"Are you, Shuji? My godfather's eldest son." Lixue asked still staring at Shuji.
"It's me, are you?" Shuji asked in front of her.
"Leatrice Snow, your Papa, and my dad are friends," Lixue replied and smiled just right.
"I think I disturbed your happy conversation," Shuji replied, averting his eyes afterward.
"Of course not," Lixue replied as she stared at Shuji.
"Can I talk to you I would like to meet you," Shuji asked before he walked to the stairs and went to his room.
"Sure," Lixue replied.
A few minutes later they went to the veranda and sat on the iron chair.
"I want to meet you," Shuji began to Lixue as the two of them stood face to face.
"All right," Lixue said as he leaned back in the chair he was sitting on.
"How did you become father's godchild and only now have I seen you all of my godchild of my father I know them," Shuji said immediately and looked into Lixue's small eyes.
"Ninong Raiden was my daddy's best friend in Hong Kong then and then we met again. Dad took his friend to be my godfather because we don't go to the godfather's party or the aunt's birthday party or the godfather's children," Lixue said nor did Lixue intend to tell the truth.
"Dad told me that the apartment you lived in was burned," Shuji replied afterward.
Lixue nodded and just smiled at Shuji.
"That's why I asked my godfather for help. I don't have any money now. I only brought my belongings, maybe — what I have here now," Lixue said.
"I'll ask for your resume I'll give it to my manager I'll tell you if you'll be accepted," Shuji replied and when he held out his hand it just looked at him.
Lixue said goodbye and that she would bring the resume to the room used by her temporarily. Lixue returned immediately and gave her resume to Shuji once they ate dinner. Shuji didn't fall asleep right away because he was talking to his girlfriend on his cellphone.
