Micah's face shows annoyance and frustrations when she came back. She directly went to her cubicle and started working on something on her computer. Mattheo don't know whether to approach her or not. Mattheo and Thomas are currently inside their office talking with Vincent Torralba and the other two people who will be with them. Apparently, the director, his uncle, decided to move Micah out of the case. They just don't know if she's already known it.

"Hey, man," Vincent interrupts his ways of thoughts. "Do you think our asset would give us the exact location of the Triad base here in the Philippines?"

"That's still unknown," Thomas butts in. "So far, we only know that it is somewhere here in the Philippines."

"Aside from that, we have known that they are Triad members but we can't do anything about them because we don't have enough evidences," Jane told them.

"When we enter the Triad base, we need as much evidence as to put them to jail," Lara comprehended while looking at her laptop.

Mattheo can't stop looking at Micah as they were discussing the things. She's seriously typing something and doesn't even notice him looking at her.

"Micah, aren't you suppose to be part of this team?" Lara mentioned as if realizing that Micah is part of the team.

"Tsk. Don't you know? The Director moved her out of the case," Vincent said mockingly.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Lara apologized insincerely and shrugged her shoulder off.

Mattheo shooked his head and clenched his fist. He's annoyed at them for bullying her while she's not doing anything to them.

"Doesn't matter," Micah emotionlessly said to them. "Goodluck on finding their base then," she continued and Mattheo saw something in her eyes.

It was a mixture of mocking and ridicule towards them. But then it disappear as if he saw an illusion. Then, she look at him as if seeing him as something she loathe. He felt guilty in an instance. He knows he do it wrongly but it was the right thing to do.

*Flashback*

After Micah left, Mattheo and Thomas went to the Director's office. He seems to be expecting them to go to him.

"Uncle, I don't think it will work if Micah will be the one leading the team," Mattheo started contemplating the pros and cons of his decision.

His Uncle frown. "Why?"

"She's not taking this case seriously," Thomas reprimanded. "We know that this is an important classified mission and she's not even qualified to this kind of thing."

"I know you see her as an unqualified person but I know she'll be able to help you with this," his Uncle is completely convincing them to accept Micah in.

"No, Uncle, I'm sorry either you move her out or you find the other person to help on this case," Mattheo said already sure with this.

He sighed. "Okay, fine. I'll move her out of this case."

After that, he already signalled them to go out not wanting to talk to them anymore. He sighed and went out of the office.

*end of flashback*

"Mattheo, lets get this done tomorrow and I will coordinate with the asset here," Vincent said.

"Okay, sure," Mattheo answered.

"Anyway, are you guys free tonight? We've got this free tickets from an exclusive bar last night. They have a big event tonight and we plan to go," Jane told them. "So you, guys, wanna join us?"

It was like a dejavu. Just like Micah inviting them to hangout. He sighed and quite conflicted.

"Sure," Thomas agreed immediately.

"I'm in," Vincent told them. "I'll bring Peter with us too."

"How about you, Mattheo?" Lara asked as if expecting him to agree.

"He'll come," Thomas grinned and agreed for him. For a second he wants to smack his face off.

He tsked and look at Micah. She's now looking at her monitor again. She's busy typing something on her screen. He sighed.

"Micah, you wanna join us?" Lara asked her, it seems only out of courtesy.

She finally looked at them before she shook her head. "No, thanks. I already have something going on."

"Oh, okay," Lara said nonchalantly.

He saw Jane rolled her eyes at her before looking at him and smiling. He doesn't care though. He only cares which bar would Micah go to tonight. Would it be the same bar like last week. He wants to ask her but its not like it his any business to interfere to her.

"Just don't mind Micah anymore," Vincent interrupts his train of thoughts again. "She's a nerd and don't want to go out," he ridiculed.

From others prospective, it seems that Micah is not the type of person goinh out with other people.

"Yeah, we've been convincing her to go out with us but she's always refused to go out with us," Jane said.

"Alright, so its settled then?"Lara mused already forgetting Micah. "We have 8 tickets here and we're already six including Peter. So lets just invite them," she said pointing at the 2 men reading some files.

"Okay, so we go tonight and lets have some fun," Vincent said.

They just nodded and went to their cubicle. While Thomas and him were given a temporary cubicle so they can work properly. Their cubicles are near Micah's cubicle and he saw what he's already doing. She's working on some maps that he can't even understand.

"Man, looking at her won't get you to be close to her," he joked and laughed at him

"You want this?" He asked showing him his fist.

Thomas just laughed at him and just open his laptop. While he can't get enough by just looking at her. And she seems not care. She gets her phone and type something. A while later it rings.

"Hello, have you seen what I've sent you?" Micah asked through the other line.

He's eavesdropping, yes. But he wants to know who he's talking about.

"Hmmm, I've got the invitation. Thank you."

"..." other line spoke something incomprehensible for him to hear.

She laughs. "Yeah, I'll see you soon. Bye."

After that she hangs up. And look at him with a raised eyebrows. He just scratched the back of his neck and bashfully smile at her. She just rolled her eyes and continue on her work. He sighed and just open his laptop, it seems that everything he do even if his handsomeness won't work on her.
