Wow!
What? Boracay?
Boracay is so beautiful.
I’ve been here a couple of times, but I don’t know why–
It’s more beautiful now.
It’s more beautiful now.
Maybe you can finish that later?
Luna?
Where are you?
- Kalix! - Luna!
I admit, I was really hurt.
But I shouldn’t have walked out on you. I should have talked to you first.
Good morning, Ke!
Good morning, Ke!
This is Miguel, my boyfriend.
I never said anything about your men, Yanna.
What did you just say?
Hey!
Hey!
- Yanna! - Hey!
Are you busy? Can we talk?
Are you busy? Can we talk?
Yes, Dad. Come in.
I heard you declined the project of Mr. Martinez.
Dad, we have other architects that can do the job.
Dad, we have other architects that can do the job.
Why does it have to be me?
These kind of projects
don’t come very often.
The pay is good.
Besides,
Besides,
this client has very good connections.
It’s not about that.
I know.
I know you have a past with him.
But can’t you approach it professionally?
I can be professional with Attorney Martinez.
But I don’t wanna work with him.
I’ve heard he protected an abuser, Dad.
You know what, I know Kalix used to...
be an associate of this notorious law firm before.
be an associate of this notorious law firm before.
But they’ve since parted ways.
That shouldn’t define him.
Let me give you a different perspective, dear.
Let me give you a different perspective, dear.
Do you still remember,
the fiasco that happened in the Cavite house?
Yes, what about it?
It was his law firm who settled the lawsuit for us.
It was his law firm who settled the lawsuit for us.
Huh?
Yes.
Why didn't you told me this?
This is my project, Dad.
This is my project, Dad.
I’m sorry.
I know I should have told you earlier
but Kalix insisted not to let you know.
We agreed so that you won’t have to worry about it.
We agreed so that you won’t have to worry about it.
It was his law firm
who identified that the contractor was ordering substandard materials
which caused the house to collapse.

If it weren’t for him, our construction company might be closed by now.
So, I owe him now?
No.
Of course not.
I’m just saying that you should reconsider.
I’m just saying that you should reconsider.
But if you’re really decided on declining, I won’t stop you.
I know where you’re coming from.

Hey Architect, your coffee's getting cold. Your face is begging for it.
It’s all messed up.
Well, your face is effortlessly messed up, you know.
So is it true?
So is it true?
Kalix was the one who helped us then?
They found out that we weren’t at fault.
Kalix’s team got us solid evidence
that cleared us from accountability.
that cleared us from accountability.
But we still compensated all of the victims even if it wasn’t our fault.
Because that’s what’s right, Sevi.
We value our principles.
Unlike someone I know.
Unlike someone I know.
Like Kalix?
I mean, I’m grateful for what he did.
But it doesn’t change the fact that he’s still part of the abuser’s legal team.
But it doesn’t change the fact that he’s still part of the abuser’s legal team.
And for everything else he did in the past.
Besides, I bet he’d be so hard to work with.
He’s such a demanding perfectionist so it’ll be hard to please him.
I get that, Luna.
This is definitely a hard situation for you.
This is definitely a hard situation for you.
Thinking about it…
we can’t deny how great this project is.
But at the same time,
it’s going to open up the past you and Kalix had.
it’s going to open up the past you and Kalix had.
Just know that whatever your decision will be,
I’m here to support you.
Good morning, may I speak with Attorney Martinez?
Good morning. Your name please?

Wait a second.
Do you have an appointment?
I don’t see your name in his list of appointments today.
I don’t have an appointment
I don’t have an appointment
but we have a possible project to do. So can you set up a meeting with him?
I’m sorry, ma’am. Attorney’s schedule this week is full.
If it’s urgent, you can go ahead and call him or just send him a message.

A lot of people wonder the same thing
since Attorney Martinez is quite young yet very successful.

He’s not just good at his work, he’s also very humble.
That’s why good karma just runs back to him.
Not a single person thinks badly of him.

Everyone you see here loves Attorney Martinez.

Oh ma’am, if only I was single,
I’d be hitting on him.
Do you have any idea what time he's coming?

We’ll be together for Christmas–

I can’t believe it!

Me too.
This is amazing.
Our families are both going to the U.S.
