Scene 1:
It's morning time. Zone is jogging on the sidewalk. He smiles recalling the time spent with Hazel the other day.
Zone's POV: Maybe trying to win her heart would do me no harm. (*He shakes the sweat off his hair and jogs merrily)
He stops in front of Hazel's house and looks at the closed window.
Zone: (*Mutters) Her window is closed. Is she not up yet? Should I call her? Did she leave already? What should I do? (*Thinks)

 Is she not up yet? Should I call her? Did she leave already? What should I do? (*Thinks)

(*Ally runs in from behind)
Ally: (*loudly) Zone, long time no see. How are you?
(*Zone sees her and has an immediate repulsive countenance on his sweaty face)
Zone: (*murmurs) Shiaa, not again. She'll hang on to me. I need to escape. (*Loudly) I have something important to do, I'll see you later.
Ally: But Zone...
(*He runs away)
Ally: Arghhh!😫 He ran away again. How will I speak to him?
Scene 2:
Hazel packs up her files and gets dressed for office. Aum gets up hearing the clink-clanks.
Aum: (*rubs her eyes) P', what are you doing? Where are you going so early in the morning? Office? But why? Don't you remember you were fired?
(*Hazel sits back on the sofa in despair, she sighs as she covers up her face with her hands)
Aum: I know you did not betray anyone but you see Thyme still doesn't trust you. And definitely on the face of the evidences no other employers would have trusted you but since Ren is on your side, I know he'll find some way out of this trouble. Have faith in him, he won't let you down.
Scene 3:
Ren wakes up and hastily goes to take a bath. He gets ready.
Ren: (*to himself) I need to find out the entire truth at the earliest. I won't let anyone blame my Hazel for something she hasn't done.
(*His phone rings)
*Call from Manager*
On call,
Ren: Hello, what is it?
Manager: Sir, you have an important meeting....
Ren: Just reschedule it, I have to run an errand urgently.
Manager: But sir this will be the third time that we will be rescheduling. Wouldn't they be angry? Mr. Clarkson called me this morning to remind you because they need to talk to you urgently. (*Ren looks frustrated)
Ren: How about tomorrow?
Manager: Sir, they'll be leaving for the US tomorrow. The reason why they are urging to meet today itself.
Ren: Okay, I'll be there.
*Call disconnects*
Ren: I'll get late if I sit in the meeting but I guess there's no other option.
(*He walks out with his coat in one hand and his phone in another)
Scene 4:
Thyme gets out of his car and hurriedly enters into Parama office. He calls for a meeting with his staff and they all discuss on the issue. The staff gets agitated when they hear about Hazel being behind leaking confidential data.
Employee 1: Sir, she is a traitor. She has betrayed you. She doesn't just deserve to be fired but also you should file a lawsuit against her.

Scene 6:
Hazel is sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed. Suddenly she remembers Krist coming to her cabin to take a file for Thyme. She recalls how he behaved in an uncanny manner when she spotted him secretly entering into her cabin while she was not there.

*Time skip*
The staff returns with several sim cards.
Kavin inserts one and calls Kaning. She answers.
On call,
Kaning: Hello, who's this?
Kavin: (*pretending to be an old woman) Hello, dear child, how are you?
Kaning: I'm fine. But madam may I know who you are?
Kavin: (*imitating old woman's voice) Silly, you don't have to know me. (*The staff laughs, Kavin hits him lightly on the head)

Reporter 1: Mr. Akira Paramanaatra, is this true that your company's confidential data of the Exoro project got leaked yesterday?
Reporter 2: Who do you think is behind all this?
Reporter 3: A rival or an unfaithful employee?

Expert: Sir, I was waiting for you.
Ren: Yeah! Quick fast, tell me what is it?

Ren: Does that mean it's morphed?
Expert: Yes! Just look at this carefully. (*Points the cursor on the edge of the photograph on his computer) Although they tried to crop the picture, but still a little part of the watermark remained.
