7. Mark and Sandrina Reunion
"Mark, wait!" Lisa shouted without feeling embarrassed in front of the people present. She was more embarrassed at the thought of going back to Jake. Lisa realized that there was something she didn't know about Mark after Wildan said that all of Mark's original clothes cost up to four billion."Damn it, Lisa!" Jake, who was very angry at that moment, also chased after Lisa. The others were curious about what would happen. They left the building and saw Mark getting into a luxurious car, a sports car that cost billions.

Mark exclaimed as he looked at the menu.Sandrina was actually uncertain, she looked back at the menu. "I'm not picky with food. You might want to choose? But in an atmosphere like this, grilled fish or shabu-shabu would be nice, what do you think, Mark?" Sandrina asked, seeking Mark's opinion.Mark took a moment to browse through the diverse menu options and then made a decision. "Sure, let's order grilled fish and shabu-shabu, and non-alcoholic soda to drink," Mark said, making Sandrina nod in agreement."Please order this, sir. What's the total?"

9. Cell Phone Left Behind
Mark cursed himself for seeming to rush to express his feelings to Sandrina, especially since he spoke very stiffly and did not make a romantic impression.Suddenly, Mark corrected himself. He closed his eyes as he said this. "Sorry San, I didn't mean to push you, but you don't have to answer if you were surprised by my statement earlier," Mark said, which made Sandrina smile a little.Unexpectedly, Sandrina reached out her palm to hold Mark's wrist. She looked deeply into Mark's eyes as their gazes met. "Thank you, Mark." Sandrina smiled softly. "I appreciate your courage," she added.Mark didn't know how to react. He just remained silent while he looked at Sandrina's beautiful face, which was even more mesmerizing in the moonlight."I think I like you too."And in the same second, Mark choked on Sandrina's statement. Sandrina quickly grabbed a drink and gave it to Mark. At the same time, Mark's cell phone lit up with a message from the system.[Ding! Congratulations, your mission ha
