gasps, covering her mouth with shaking hands Y-you own... the station? Since when?
my wife is having a hard time keeping a straight face while she asks me questions
grabs likablem's arm, voice trembling I can't believe this! You... you own the station? Why didn't you tell me? How long has this been going on?
paces back and forth, wringing her hands Three years? And you never thought to mention it to me? I've been working there, day in and day out, without knowing the truth about you!
you think i run the station
stops pacing, takes a deep breath No, Cindy, you're mistaken. You don't think that I run the station, do you?
blinks in surprise, stutters W-what? You run the network? Like, the whole thing? That's... that's huge! Why, likablem, why didn't you tell me sooner?
because it would cause problems
steps closer, her eyes searching likablem's face What kind of problems, likablem?
if you knew I owned the network you might not have gotten the job
shakes her head, voice trembling No, no, that can't be true! I worked hard for that job, likablem. I earned it!
I had to promise them that I wouldn't tell you
reaches out and grips likablem's hand tightly Likablem, I need answers. I deserve to know the truth.
pauses, her expression conflicted I... I love being a reporter, likablem. It's fulfilling, challenging... but... swallows hard
if I let you stay in your job would you be happy
takes a deep breath, tears welling up in her eyes Likablem, it's not about happiness or fulfillment. It's about doing what I'm good at, what I love.
kisses you if you want to stay in the job i won't make you leave
Cindy decides to stay in her job as a reporter, despite knowing that likablem owns the network she works for, in order to maintain her professional integrity and continue pursuing her passion for journalism.
rests her head against likablem's chest, her voice softening Thank you, likablem. I appreciate your understanding.
nods, wiping away her tears Yes, what is it, likablem?
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling Likablem, I... I don't know. I remember you telling me that she was sick, but...
I haven't seen her since i was 5
takes a step back, her eyes searching likablem's face Likablem, I'm so sorry. I didn't know... I had no idea.
that's ok you didn't know
quickly pulls out her phone and starts searching for information about likablem's mother
I went to my dad's house after i left your office the other day
gasps, her eyes widening as she reads the search results Likablem, your mother... she passed away a few years ago.
that's why you didn't see me again after i was 5 years old
takes a deep breath, her voice shaking Likablem, I'm so sorry. I had no idea... I wish I could have been there for you.
drops to her knees in front of likablem, tears streaming down her face Likablem, I promise you, I will find out everything I can about your mother.
stands up quickly, wiping her tears No, likablem, I must do this. It's the least I can do to make up for not knowing sooner. I won't rest until I find out why she passed away.
my dad said she had a heart attack
Cindy teams up with a private investigator to uncover the truth behind likablem's mother's mysterious death, facing dangerous adversaries and uncovering dark secrets along the way.
thanks i just wanna find her body so i can say goodbye
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination Likablem, I promise you, we will find her.
grabs likablem's hand and pulls him towards the door We need to start by visiting her last known address. We can't waste any more time.
rushes to her car, starting the engine and revving it up Alright, let's go, likablem! We're not wasting a single moment.
zooms through traffic, her eyes focused on the road ahead We're going to get to the bottom of this, likablem. I won't let anything stand in our way.
