*other poster*

Mr Khun a current work-mate of Jimmy entered the guestroom and was immediately welcome by the owner couple.

Jimmy: Khun, Thank you for come in! *Shaking hand with the new guest*

Khun: Hey, no problem I get to eat free so why not! *He joked, and then lifted up a medium side nicely wrapped parcel handed over to Theresa.* Here is just a little something for my dear couple.

Theresa: *Accepted the gift graciously* Oh, you don't have to do this! *Show her hand to one side* Thank you, now please come in and enjoy yourself.

Mr Khun greeted a temporary farewell to the couple and enter the party area. After having a quick wave to his friends inside, Jimmy glanced at his watch and sweetly reminded Theresa.   

Jimmy: Sweetie, why don't we go in side for a while!

Theresa: *nodded and then she turned her eyes to another young couple who been chatting with some of their friends inside* Annie, Frankie!

By the called, Annie and Frankie both turned to look at their brother and sister, then the two quickly  finish their conversation to make their way toward Jimmy and Theresa.

Annie: Yes, you called us?

Jimmy: Yeah, we going to go inside for a while, would you guys be able to guard the door for us!

Frankie: *Looked down to Annie, seeing she smiled* Sure, no problem!

Theresa: Great, thanks! *She was about to move in with Jimmy when suddenly she turned back to Annie* If Maggie and Vicki come, call me okey!

Annie: Okey!

With the reassured from her sister in-law, Theresa turned back to take Jimmy's hand and both dashed inside quickly.

Frankie: Hey, honey, would you like me go to get you a drink!

Annie: *Looked up at him with a loving smile* Okey! Thanks, darl!

Frankie smiled willingly then slowly he released his arm on her waist to proceed in the cocktail bar. After Frankie left, the elevator door started to open. Annie patiently eyed to the entrance way, then her eyes brighten watching at the little Sally running in toward her, with Louis walking at the back, supporting for the half-way pregnant Maggie.

Annie: *Bend down to catch Sally in her arm* Hey there Sally, you look so beautiful today!

Sally: Thank - you! *Relied in her broken words, but with the most innocently laugh*

Louis: Hi! Annie!

Maggie: Hi, Annie! I see you're standing guard, so where is the owner couple!

Annie: Oh they just gone inside!

Louis: How about Frankie, can't imagine him leaving you by yourself.

Annie shyly looked down, before she could reply, Frankie all ready came back with two drinks on his hands.

Frankie: Of course, I'm not! Hi Maggie, Louis!

Maggie: Hi Frankie!

Louis: We were just checking on you!

Frankie: Well, you don't have to, because among all the guys that can be loyal and faithful, I am the best!

Annie: *Lovingly punched in his stomach to make him stop phrasing for himself*

Maggie: Well, that's good to hear, Frankie!

Annie: You guys, go inside to get your drink! *Just then she remembered, turning to Frankie* Frank, why don't you leave that drink for them!

Frankie: Oh, Maggie, you can have this champagne! *Then he realized* Opps sorry I forgot! Louis you can have it, Annie can't drink Champagne either! *Turned to Annie* Honey, this is your drink, specially made! *Turned back to Maggie* Be right back with your drink Maggie! *And he just zoom himself back to the bar, leaving Maggie and Louis, turning blank looking at each other then to Annie*

Maggie: Annie, you're not pregnant are you?

Annie: No, don't be silly, we not even married yet!

Louis: But engaged for nearly two years now!

Annie: So, I'm still testing myself, not willing to risk anything yet.

Maggie: *walked over and put her arm around Annie's shoulder* Come on Missy, don't you think it's time for you to move on.

Annie looked at her friend with an agreeing sight, she realized being with Frankie had made her life happier than ever, but remember of how rough it was for them to find each other, she was still very much concerns for their future. Interrupting the thoughtful moment, Frankie has returned with Maggie's soft drink and one for himself, but followed him are Jimmy and Theresa also walking toward the gate.

Maggie: *Moving nearer to Theresa* Hey Theress, congratulation both of you!

Louis: Yeah, congratulation, this is a very nice place!

Jimmy: Of course, Theress decorated by herself and my help as well. *Proudly replied with his arms tighten round his beloved wife's shoulder*

Maggie: Don't get to carry away their Jimmy, you're starting to copy from Louis too much!

Frankie: And is that a bad thing.

Annie: No as long as you also followed them.

Frankie: Honey! I'm their teacher. *Everybody just broke out into laughter of enjoyment*

Maggie: *Suddenly looked up to Annie and Theresa* That's right, where is Vicki, I thought she came back this morning already.

Annie: Yes, she had, me and Frankie went to pick her up at the Airport, but she wants go and visit her parents and she will come back here later.

Louis: And how about Alec!

Jimmy: He should be coming as well!

Maggie: *Turned tensed* Did anyone tell Vicki that Alec is going to be here as well.

All six of them turned to look at each other in puzzled.

=====================================

Down at the dropping zone of the building, a Taxi just stopped in front of a glamour looking BMW. A pretty lady within her 20 existed the Taxi, then quickly makes her way across the road walking into the tall building. It does not occurs to her that there is a BMW just pulled in behind her Taxi. The driver sit still in silent, watching over the road as the lady's figure disappeared behind the glass door. Lower his sad and confusing eyes, Alec picked up the mobile phone and started to dial the number.

Alec: *Speaking on the phone* Jimmy!

Jimmy: *From the other line* Where are you pal!

Alec: I'm down at the parking lots, but I just ring to say that I won't be coming in, sorry!

Jimmy: Why, what's wrong? You're particularly here already!

Alec: Yes, and so does Vicki, I just saw her walking in, I'm afraid, I don't want to ruin your party, so I better stay out of it. Say sorry to Theresa for me. I'll come to see you guys some other times!

=====================================

Jimmy: *called out to his phone* Alec, Alec! *But the other line already hung up*

Theresa: What's wrong with Alec, honey?

Jimmy: *looked up to the full group of six* He saw Vicki coming in and he afraid to come up!

Everybody nodded in understanding, but before they could think of a better solution, once again the elevator door opened and a new lady guest just entered.

Annie: *Widened in a big smile* Vicki! *With that she and Maggie and Theresa, together rushed by Vicki side, the four soon summoned for a group hug, but the guys were left standing alone*

Louis: I'm happy for them!

Jimmy: I know, 3 years!

Frankie: Seem just like yesterday.

Three year prior....

The passenger: *leading to the front seat of the driver, to look at the fee clock* Okey, I’m getting off, here your money! *after placing down the money, she turned and opened the left door*

The driver: *Turned already in anger* Hey, you said you were going to Hanks Street.

Vicki: *Glancing over to Maggie a warning sign* Okey then, I’ll bring some music, some relaxing music *looking at Annie, understandingly*

The ladies joined in the laughter.

(top)

She hates the boss!

Because their apartment on the top level, both Vicki and Annie had a spare space on the roof, but since Annie’s family is building an extra flat on her side, the meeting is set over Vicki’s side.

Vicki just turned on some soft music at the background then came back on her seat beside the snack table. Beside her right were the sophisticated Maggie and the grumpy Annie sitting on the swinging chair in the opposite.

Annie: *frowned* You known I must have done something really bad in my last life, and this life I met that stupid Bimbo.

Maggie: He’s the only child of a rich family, his mother owned a diamonds store that most well known in the city, and you’re keep calling him a Bimbo.

Annie: But he is a Bimbo, bully, arrogant, show off, intimidate and…

Vicki: Wah? Are you describing a human, he can’t be that bad.

Annie: You have to see for yourself.

Maggie: I thought he’s doing a series, right? When it is coming out.

Annie: Not yet, just started filming.

Vicki: So what’s exactly do you do, Missy?

Annie: Well, organise his schedule timetable and make sure that he’ll follow it.

Maggie & Vicki: *shock* That it!

Maggie: And you’re getting that much amount in salary. Missy, you’re really lucky.

Annie: I have to use all that money to pay for my therapist session very soon. *Sit up* Hah, that’s enough about me, let’s change subject to either one of you.

Maggie: Okey, Vicki then.

Vicki: *Suddenly paused while enjoying her dipping* What?

Maggie: You and Nicky! How is he?

Vicki: He’s out of town.

Maggie: Coming back to Beijing? *Vicki nodded*

Annie: Vicki lah! I’m just warning you okey, you have to watch out when your man keep using the excuse to on long business trips.

Maggie: *hissed Annie not to continue* Not all men are like that Missy.

Vicki: Don’t worry, I trust Nicky, beside we’ll get marriage next year.

Annie: But have you even met his parent yet?

Vicki: *hesitate* That’s… no, but because they’re living in China, I haven’t got the chance to come over there yet.

Annie: See, that’s what I mean. *Got hissed again by Maggie*

Suddenly, the ladies heard footsteps as if someone was coming into their space. A moment late, Jimmy appeared from Annie’s side.

Jimmy: *Putting his hand in the air, while one was holding on the cordless phone* Ladies, sorry, I come with peace, I known this is a male restriction bound, but I need to tell my little sister, that’s she had a important phone call! Hey Missy! *Stepping over to the other side, while passing the phone to Annie*

Annie: Who is it ge? *Grab on the phone*

Jimmy: Your work place!

Annie: *Quickly covered the speaker and pass back to Jimmy* Tell, that Bimbo not to disturb my weekend.

Jimmy: *Pushed the phone back to her* It’s Mrs Lam, she sounded important.

Annie: Oh, okey! *Put the phone by her ear* Hello, Mrs Lam, It’s Annie, how are you?

Jimmy: *While his sister was talking on the phone, he started to move over Vicki and Maggie side* Hi ladies, what’s are you been talking about?

Vicki: Jimmy you known the rule.

Maggie: Not telling ya!

Jimmy: Okey. *Moved closer to Vicki* Hey Vicki, do you think you can give me a discount on international stamps.

Vicki: *Put down her drink, and turned to Jimmy with a cheeky smile* Why Jimmy? So you can send yours love letters to all of your girlfriends on the net!

Maggie: Wow, Jimmy! You’re still playing with that stuff! *Looked at him mockingly*

Jimmy: *Strongly depended* Hey, I’m serious not playing.

Vicki: Yeah, serious by meeting with 10 different people at once and still telling them that’s you single.

Jimmy: Hey I am still single, so nothing wrong with it!

Vicki laughed out with Maggie, just then Annie’s conversation on the phone distracted everyone, and together they turned over to her side

Annie: *Talking on the phone* Mrs Lam on Saturday, I can’t…… Yeah but….*sighed*…Okey, I’ll come Mrs Lam, That’s okey, bye… *Click off the phone and let out a bit sigh to the others*

Jimmy: *Walked over to Annie and hold back the phone* Is she asking you to work again, Missy?

Annie: No, she invited me to their ‘Honourable dinner’ tomorrow night.

Vicki: *Looked over to Maggie* What’s is a ‘Honourable dinner’?

Maggie: Don’t ask, rich people make up funny excuses to have fun with themselves.

Jimmy: So are you going? *Asked to Annie*

Annie: I refused, and she said she’ll pay me, over time..

Maggie: So you definitely have to go now, right!

Jimmy: My poor little sister, she had to look after the whole dinner! *teasing*

Annie: *Turned over and hit hard on Jimmy* Ge, stop it! By the way, this is your restriction. *Pushed back the phone to him*

Jimmy: *Put his hands on the air again as a sign for peace* Okey, I’m going, you ladies just continue on whatever… okey! *And he quickly walked over to his side and came down the stair.

Vicki: *Turned back to her chip and dip* So Annie, you’re really going? *Annie nodded* Honestly I think that Mrs Lam had a very special admiration for you?

Annie: No!

Maggie: Can’t pretend it, the day you went and apply for the job, we were there too. Vicki also put in her application, but the lady boss only looked briefly to her paper and not even bothered to look at the person, she quickly dismissed Vicki.

Vicki: *Nodded* Absolutely right!

Maggie: Then when she had a little glance at your paper she quickly hired you without any questions asked, isn’t that weird or not!

Vicki: Yeap, absolutely.

Annie: Hey, you guys are ganging up on me. Beside, both of you were the one who pulled me into this.

Maggie: So you should thanks us, because otherwise you wouldn’t have this fabulous job with less thing to do and the wage is the same as mine professional salary.

Vicki: Absolutely!

Annie: Aiyah, Vicki, haven’t you got anything else to say!… *Vicki smiled at her teasingly* Now, I have to face that Bimbo again.! *big frown*

==================================================

At the Lam’s ‘Honourable dinner’, Annie was dropped off by Jimmy. But was quickly welcome by Mrs Lam, who had no hesitation when introducing Annie to everyone that she met on the way from the front yard to the house, where the main reception was held.

Mrs Lam: Mrs Hong, this is Annie, Frankie’s assistant, a very helpful person beside my boy.

Mrs Hong: *Took a careful glance at Annie from top to bottom, making she felt a little uncomfortable, but she still had to push for a smile* Mrs Lam, you’re so lucky, she’s such a lovely person.

Mrs Lam: I known, enjoy yourself please, we have to go inside! *They said good bye to Mrs Hong, and Annie was rushed inside*

Mrs Lam: *Once they got inside, she quickly eyed around to find her cherish son, Frankie Lam. When seeing him was in his usually trick, flirting with some other younger girls in the party at one corner, she abruptly called out* Frankie! *Annie instantly turned badger, doesn’t want to walk over, but Mrs Lam continued to pull her closer over to Frankie*

Frankie: *While he was acting his usual trick, hoping to woo al the young girls with his charming look and money, he suddenly turned to his mother’s call. But his face quickly shatter, once seeing the person beside his mother* Mother, what is she doing her? *He quickly asked, when Mrs Lam and Annie were standing in front of him*

Mrs Lam: I invited her to join the dinner with us, Ok Frankie, I have to go and meet some of my friend, why don’t you make Annie comfortable! *Turning to Annie, before Frankie could refuse* Annie, dear, make yourself at home okey! *Then she quickly left before Frankie and Annie could speak up for themselves.*

Annie was still fury in how to react when she turned around to find Frankie’s usual scolding eyes staring at her.

Frankie: I known you have thin lips, but didn’t know you’re a good suck up as well!

Annie: *Swished at him sharply* Excuse me I was invited, want to comment, ask your mother.

Frankie: I don’t care how you get in here, but don’t follow me as an irritating tail like you always do, okey. I’m not working so you have no right to control me.

Annie: *Showing her annoy* Do you think I like to follow you, its make me want to vomit only to see how you walk, Bimbo.

Frankie: *Rise his voice* So why don’t you quit then, if I was so annoying. You’re just trying to get some share from my fame.

Annie: *Also increase her volume* Your Fame, What do you have to call as fame, it’s all your mother money which helped you. And ofcouse I love to quit, but your mother never approved me! So..

Frankie: YOU! *Just then he realised that most of the girls were staring at him, he quickly changed the angry face in to a dashing smile to cover every one.*

Annie: *saw his changing pace and suddenly felt strange, but after looking around, she understood, what was going on* Flirty jerk! *She mumbled*

Frankie: *Grinning his teeth in anger again* YOU!

Annie: *Whisper to him in her shifty voice, but smiling brightly to everybody else* Hey, it’s your family Honourable dinner, if you’re want to ruin your reputation in front of everyone, I’ll help you! *Winked*

Frankie: *He always feels mad when every time he faces her. Frankie was the only child, he always get his way as his mother loved him more than anything. But suddenly when he started to enter the entertainment industry, his mother suddenly had his idea to hire him an assistant. It’s turns out to be his handcuff, a person who always used his mother’s power to control his action, especially when he was trying to get close with other attractive actresses. Those mocking words of her always so disturbing. But now when looking at the numbers of large people surrounding him, he can not afford to get angry, so grumpily he walked away* You’re watch me, I’ll get you later!

Annie: Bimbo, I’ll wait for you! *She challenged back, celebrating another wins*

===================================================

That night, in the phone lines between the three friends.

Vicki: Are you kidding me, you don’t have to do anything with him, yet you guys still fought!

Maggie: Truly enemies from past life!

Annie: Gosh, every time I see his snobby face, I just want to….um…so annoying.

Vicki: Hey, if it too hard why don’t you quit, Missy!

Annie: You think I don’t, even known the money is good, but still…Anyway, I worked there 3 months, I already quit 5 times, but she never let me.

Maggie: Who? Oh Mrs Lam?

Annie: Yes!

Vicki: Sorry Annie, I don’t know how to help you!

Annie: Never mind I’ll live through it, it’s not only me that’s feel uncomfortable, the Bimbo wants to get rip of me as well, but he can’t, so I guess I’ll annoy him more to pay back. *Suddenly she turned in a more exciting voice* Hey guys I got to take Nai Nai out tomorrow but can we go to see Ruby on Monday, after work?

Maggie: But it’s not…

Annie: *cut in* I known, but I need to tell her all these things that’s been bothering me, please I need it.

Vicki: *sighed* Okey! If you put it that’s way, good luck! So Maggie, can you pick me up next Monday, I’ll be doing stock-take at the warehouse, so if you come to pick me up just go in the back delivery gate okay!

Maggie: Okey, Vicki! Missy, you want me to pick you up as well?

Annie: Okey, Just pick me up at the studio, thanks Maggie *Yawned* Um, I’m tired now, okey, I’ll see you guys tomorrow. Night Vicki, Night Maggie.

Vicki: Night Missy, Night Maggie.

Maggie: Night Vicki, Night Missy.

The phone lines all hung up at once.

(top)

She found her next affection!

Maggie: Let’s go and get Vicki so we can go straight to see Ruby!

Annie: Yeah, I’m dying to see her!

Maggie: *Cautiously* Shhhhh, don’t say that!

The lady laughed and continued inside. But Maggie suddenly lost her balance when accidentally bumped into a muscle man who was walking out from the delivery lane. Carrying a big carbon box on his left’s shoulder that was why he didn’t see Maggie who was walking in. Maggie went stumbled on the group as well as the parcel’s carrier.

Annie: *Trying to help Maggie to stand up* Maggie, Are you alright?

Maggie: *Suffer a little sudden pain* Yeah, I’m fine!

Annie: *Angrily turned over to the reckless parcel carrier who was also trying to get up from the fall* Hey, Why don’t you look at where you’re going, big man!

The parcel carrier: *Shockingly looked up in his confusion eyes* Sorry, I didn’t mean it! *He mumbled out uncomfortably*

Annie: You should be more caution you known, carrying a parcel like that without paying attention to anything and…*Was cut in by Maggie*

Maggie: Forget it Annie, I’m fine! *She turned over to look at the person who just unintentionally bumped to her. He was a stranger whom she never met after all these times spending with the postal staffs when she came to pick up Vicki. But the man was tall, tan, trim and had this evenly muscular body but most of all he’s shy and a little cute she thinks. Something has triggers her taste bug again* Hi! *She greeted in her flirting voice with a dazzling smile*

Annie: *jabbed Maggie on her hip, to end the flirty attraction* Gosh, woman gets a rip of yourself! *She whispered the reminder to Maggie’s ear*

The parcel’s carrier: *Quickly picked up his parcel in hesitation* Sorry, I didn’t mean it! *He quietly spoke out, before holding on tight to the parcel and ran straight out the gate*

Maggie: *Eyes were still following behind the stranger* Gosh, Hot body! *Just then she received another thump by Annie* Ouch, that’s hurt.

Annie: Oh really? Are you back to earth now?

Maggie: *Finally turned her body around, after the stranger image had totally disappeared* Okey, stop being too typical Missy, you don’t get the chance to see such a nice figure like that these day you know! *Complained back*

Annie was about to turn around for another debate, but luckily then, Vicki popped her head outside from her office.

Vicki: *Waving her hand* Hey guys, I’m here!

Maggie: *Quickly chased forward to Vicki before Annie* Hey Vicki is there new worker in this place?

Vicki: *Summoned her thoughts* No…*Just then something reminded* Oh, you mean the tall and dark…

Maggie: Cute and hot guy! Yeah him! *Annie shook her head*

Vicki: *smiled* Oh, He’s not new, he just came back from a long break. Name Louis, So is he your next victim.

Annie: Properly! *Pushed Maggie to one side as she stepped forward closer to Vicki* Hey are you ready?

Vicki: *Turned around to grab her handbag* Yep, ready now!

Maggie still wanted to ask some more detail but Annie quickly shoved her off to the other side she constantly pushed the other to move faster.

Annie: Come on guy, I’m affair the cemetery might be close!

Vicki: Relax, it’s not! *Yet while Vicki and Maggie still take slowly on their steps the eager Annie kept on pulling in the front*

=========================================

Eventually, the ladies reached to the cemetery just before 5.00pm. As they parked the car and carried their flowers with paper money into the graveyard to visit Ruby.

Ruby Lin would be the forth member of the gang if she didn’t die so tragically in that car accident, almost two years ago. Ruby used to live alone in the apartment beside Vicki’s since her parents had migrated oversea a few years ago. She was waiting for her visa to unit with her family when the dreadful accident happened. But as forever, the girls will always keep a special place in their heart for the special unlucky friend.

During every holiday or anniversary, the three of them always gathered at Ruby’s grave to inform with her about everything, that’s been going on in their life. Ruby used to be a be consolidating person, so when every times some one was having a hard time, then they will come to Ruby to get that friendly healing support.

Even now Ruby had long gone, but every one still think that’s her spirit was lingering with them, willing to listen on their good times and bad times in life.

Vicki: *Spreading out yellow roses, Ruby’s favourite flowers, around the stone grave* How are you doing there Ruby, we come to see ya! Well, I’m sticking along just to see you, But Annie is the one having problem! *Bend down as if she tried to whisper to the grave* I think she is just being too hard on herself again!

Annie: *Stepped in behind Vicki and loudly cleared her throat to alert her friend* Are you bad talking me, Vicki?

Vicki: *Shockingly looked up* Oh no, Missy I was just giving Ruby a little hint. *She tried to smile, but Annie still looking very tiff, so she quickly find her way to withdrew* Okey, I’m done with the flowers, guess you need some private time here, Okey! I’ll go and find Maggie, so enjoy your talk! *Pushing Annie away from another side, as she smiled and quickly took her escape lane*

Annie: *Hissed at Vicki playfully, but then her face turned more serious, as she hopped up to sit on the grave* Hey ya Ruby! How are you? I bet pretty peaceful right? Well I’m not! *She frowned* Do you know, that new job that I told you about? Well it turned out not as good as I thought…But I can’t get away from it..The guy..he is just so…*searching for the perfect description*…horrible.

Well while Annie poured out her miserable job, let’s us follow Vicki to find Maggie.

====================================

Vicki: Hey Maggie, what’s are you doing? *Waving her hand to Maggie, when she found the friend was sitting quietly in one corner reading a daily newspaper*

Maggie: *Looked up to welcome Vicki* Oh nothing! I was just reading the article.

Vicki: Like you don’t have enough newspaper to read already! *she teased*

Maggie: *Laughed* No I actually write more than read, so think I should do something for the change of freeze!

Vicki: *Got interested on the newspaper* Hey, which paper are you reading? *Maggie then pasted the newspaper on her hand to Vicki* “Taiwan Millionaire Prince, Ching Le Ying is coming for a business trip” *Read aloud the big headline in the front page* Ah, aren’t your reporters are over exaggerating these day? *Pasted backs the Paper to Maggie*

Maggie: Well as long as it not me, I don’t care! Hey how’s Annie doing? *Looking over the grave’s view*

Vicki: How do you think she is doing! *sighed* You know I sometimes feel sorry for Missy, I mean she taken herself too hard, putting all these pressure, eager for money. And not to mention her debating mind which caused her so much problem at works.

Maggie: *Glancing to Annie* But I don’t blame her. I mean after all she been through. I only blame that bastard who cheated on her!

Vicki: He did not cheat on her, he was playing with her, like a one-night stand. But I wish that someday she could learn to trust again.

Maggie: What about being like me?

Vicki: *Disagreed* Gosh, that’s even worst, you, you never take relationship serious.

Maggie: I am not!

Vicki: Yes you are, tell me how many men you went out with in the pasted 3 months.

Maggie: *Rolling her eyes* Well, it’s only because the right one hasn’t turn up yet, I’m still looking.

Vicki: Yeah, so you must be desperate then by the speed of dating you’re following.

Maggie: NO! I’m just happened to be a major attraction to men, and single men okey, I got rights to go out. Are you turning the twist on me now, ‘Miss one happy relationship’.

Vicki: I’m not! I’m only hoping my two best friends will find the perfect men for them like I found Nicky.

Maggie: *Thumped to Vicki* Lucky cheek.

The girls started laughing all the way.

=============================================

Annie: *Was just finishing her talk* So Ruby, got any advise, looking forward to see you, you been quiet lately.

Maggie: *Suddenly jumped over and grabbed at Annie’s back* Gosh, Missy gives Ruby a break! I mean you can’t expect to see her in every dream, right.

Vicki: Yeah, cut some slack for yourself first, then I think you will find the solution for it soon.

Annie: You guys are ganging up on me again. You known if Ruby was still here, we’ll be even and you guys will have no chance pushing me.

Vicki: Well, If Ruby was here, we will be in our apartment roof, chatting rather in this creepy place!

Mentioning of their lost friends, the girls quickly slow down their pace.

Maggie: *Regretfully* If Ruby was here…We’re still be the perfect four!

The ladies slowly came together for a cuddle. That is what Ruby usually do when she was alive, keeping everybody united, and even now since she had pasted away, but her name still doing the job greatly.

Maggie: *Spread out* Okey girls, it’s getting dark, let’s go home.

The girls quietly agreed and took their steps, arms rounded arms on their way out. Suddenly a big wind blew by, carrying the newspaper, which was hanging half way out from Maggie’s handbag to drop down and got carried to Vicki’s feet.

Vicki: *Picked up the newspaper* Maggie, do you want this?

Maggie: Oh, no, I finished with it.

So when walking past a rubbish bin, Vicki quickly dumped the paper inside the bin. It was the newspaper with the big headline “Taiwan Millionaire Prince, Ching Le Ying is coming for a business trip”

(top)

She got cheated!

Ching Le Ying just arrived from his family jet, walking out from the private arrival lane, with the rushing secretary chasing on behind.

Le Ying: *He turned to the assistant beside him* Chan Peng! Where did the people say they're waiting for us? *He hated the waiting time*

Ching Le Ying is the only child of the popular Taiwan Billionaire Ching Sung. Le Ying is in his late twenty, but has already hold the most important part of his father billions business. Two years ago, after graduated from his Bachelors in Business Developing, Le Ying had designed a special Profit saving File software, which called the Ying¡¦s Profit. This file specifically designed to help big Investment Company to organise their income and outcome. In the long term it would save them extra payment for an organizer. From then almost every Investment Company within Asia had lined up to buy a copyright program of the useful File to apply for their Company. And this trip, Le Ying was invited to Hong Kong to renew this arrangement with one of the best Industry Company of the City. Speaking of personality, since being popular while at a quite young age, Le Ying turns very snobby about his position and always put himself higher than everybody else. Even Le Ying¡¦s father had to listen to the son who brought to his wealthy assets more millions.

Chan Peng: *Heavily pulled on the big suitcase behind, quickly stepped up the front to have a quick view, gladly his eyes widened in relief one recognised the person had came on time to pick up them* Shao Ye, they¡¦re over there! *He pointed his finger, to a group of men dressed in tuxedo, anxiously waiting at the end of the fence*

Le Ying: Good, otherwise they can sign up the deal themselves! *Arrogant replied, as he pushed his head upward and stepped in front to meet the other people*

There were two big business men await for the arrival of Le Ying with the other three security guards surrounding them for safety reason. Luckily they were gathering at a private arrival lane where common people are restrained, otherwise the number of security would have increase.

Mr Fong: *One of the two businessmen, graciously stepped forward and politely greeted Le Ying with a warm handshake* Mr Ching Ying, welcome! Thank you for coming.

Le Ying: How are you been Mr Fong? I was about to go on a big holiday break, but thanks to you big businessmen, who arranged the meeting only with my father, I missed out my break! *He replied mockingly*

Mr Hung: *The other businessman, he was well aware of Le Ying overconfident attitude, but since the young man is helping him to make money, he had to push back everything brings out the bright smile* Aiyah, Mr Ching Ying, sorry for that! We didn't mean to disturb your holiday time, but I'm sure you will find Hong Kong as fun as all the other places!

Le Ying: It's better be! So where are we go from here? I'm getting tired already.

Mr Fong: Oh yes, Mr Ching Ying, our ride is waiting for you at the front, please followed me!

Le Ying: Good! *Without paying any attention from the other, Le Ying proudly walked forward with the two security guards quickly followed behind*

Chan Peng: *felted uncomfortable for his young master action, quickly walked behind the two businessmen and apologised* Sorry, Shao ye had been through a long day.

Mr Fong and Mr Hung: *both nodded with understanding, and the best of them hurriedly their way to keep up with the young master*

----------------------------------------------------------------

During that time, at the normal arrival gate in the airport.

A medium aged well dress, businessman departed from the gate, followed by a young lady, pulling on her suitcase behind. As they reached to the main exit way, the businessman paused and hastily turned back to the young lady.

Mr Carven: Theresa, thank you for accomplished with me on the trip. Without you I would be very cluttered on the meeting. *He smiled softly to the helpful secretary*

Theresa: Don't worry, Mr Carven it's my job. I had to thanks you for letting me go home earlier then the schedule so I can have some free days.

Mr Carven: That's okey. You deserved it! Ah, can I give you a lift!

Theresa: *Felt a fury as she's aware of the special offer that Mr Carven always had for her, but as a taken woman by her long relationship boyfriend, Theresa quickly refused* Thanks, But I think I'll take a cap home now. Just to give Steven a surprise.

Mr Carven: Ok, then! *not very pleased* I'll see you at work next week!

Theresa: Okey, Bye! *She turned her direction heading straight to the Taxi Lane*

Chan Peng: *bubbling behind* Yes sir, I call them to change straight away. *And off he went punching again on the phone*

================================================

Theresa got home when the sky had just fallen dark. Once seeing Steven car in the usual spot, she was pleaded that he is home, perfect for the coming home surprised. He was expecting for her to be back at the end of the week, but this is had not been put in notice. Excitingly she felt when quietly opened the door. Strange enough the house was in completely dark and quiet.

Theresa: *Called out softly* Steven..Honey, I'm home. *Still no answer or any other noises* ¡§He must went to bed early!¡¨ *She thought when hearing the cracking sound from the bedroom, so she quietly pulled along her suitcase to the bedroom with out turning on any of the lights to alert*

Mutely she tried to open the door, and was haunted by her weird sensed, so quickly she reached for the light switch.

Theresa: *Cried out of shock* Steven ..Molley *She groaned looking at her girl friend and her boyfriend laying in the bed on top of each other, almost nude* What the hell are you doing.

Steven: Theresa! *Gasped out of shock, quickly pushed away the lady on top of him and stumbled his way across the bed to Theresa* Honey, you're back early.

Theresa: You BASTARD! Don't ever call me honey! *Eyed glanced over to her cheating girlfriend, who was trying to get dress* And you lust, get out of my house, before I throw you out! *She shouted strongly*

Molley: *Trying to polish herself* Hang on, give me a sec will you.

Theresa: Give you a sec, I'll properly going to give a punch in a minute! GET OUT *She roared the biggest*

Molley find the situation was unsafe, as she quickly collected what every left and ran out the door.

Steven: *Putting on his shirt, while trying to grab on Theresa* Honey, can I explain, it was not what it seem.

Theresa: Oh, Steven cut the crap! I saw you in bed with another woman, half-naked and you¡¦re saying it was not what I think.

Steven: No.

Theresa: Then why was she laying on top of you, trying to give you some acupuncture tips, in the dark?

Steven: *Covered his face with his hand* Honey, listen, I was lost I was stupid.

Theresa: OH yes you are very stupid. *She abruptly pushed him away from the bed, and walked in the wardrobe, picked out her bigger suitcase and started packing her things inside*

Steven: *Promptly ran to her side, trying to stop her* Aiyah honey, what are you doing?

Theresa: I¡¦m getting away from this disgusting place!

Steven: Hey come on, I did one thing wrong, and You're leaving what about you?

Theresa: *Angrily paused* What about me?

Steven: You and that Carven boss of yours kept going on business trips together, how can I be sure were they really business deal or what? *But before he could know it, a big slap came striking on his cheek.

Theresa: Shut up! You're the one who did the wrong thing, and now trying to twist the blame on me. There never was and never will be anything between Mr Carven and I, and you known damn well. I trust you, I stupid enough to trust you, But now I see it, thank you! I'm getting out of it. Bye. *After that she quickly raced out of the house while pulling two full suitcase on two sides.*

After the slap Steven was not manly enough to chase after her. It had ended and properly for the better, he analyzed.

=============================================================

Annie and Jimmy had just taken their grandma for a night out dinner. The family of three now has just walked out of the two stars restaurant and ready to go home.

Jimmy: Nai Nai, can you wait here with Missy, I'll go can get the car. Be right over!

Annie: Quickly ge, it's starting to rain! *She pushed on as Jimmy promptly chased his race over to the carpark*

As Annie predicted, the sky started to drizzle down the moment Jimmy had left.

Annie: *Looking around for a shelter to stand away from the coming rain, as thunder starting to hammer down* Nai Nai, let¡¦s go over the Taxi shelter to wait for da ge, otherwise we could get wet.

Nai Nai: Okey, that's good! *And the two of them hurried over to stand in the taxi waiting zone which was covered*

=======================================================

Theresa got out of her block, still feeling lost and devastated. She was aiming to the Taxi zone, while walking half way the sky started to pour down, heavy drops on her body, soaking herself all wet in the rain.

Theresa: *Big complaining frowned* God, haven't you give me the worst day already, now rain! *But despite the anxiety she had to walk under the rain to the Taxi Zone, otherwise the untrue guy could follow her*

Annie: *Standing in the Taxi Zone, looking for Jimmy at the carpark* Aiyah, what's taken him so long, it's pouring like mad. *Just then she turned around and saw a strange soaking wetted woman with hands holding on to her luggage, stamping her way into the shelter. To ensure, Annie pulled her grandma over to the other side, as she then stands beside the strange woman. Suddenly the woman gave a sneezed as she quickly lift up her face, Annie took a caution look on the familiar face* Theresa?? *She asked out in puzzle*

Theresa: *Looked up once hearing someone just called her name* Annie, Annie from Clutter? *She surprisingly asked back*

Annie: Yes, Theresa Lee. 5B, right *The two ladies cried out happily as they jumped forward planning to give each other big hug, but because Theresa was all wet, they had to change the plan* Oh my God, Theres, how are you been?

Theresa: Annie, I can't believe I saw you again. It's been so long.

Annie: Yes. Over 5 years, so how are you been? * Just then she remembered her grandma, Annie pulled Theresa closer for the introduction* Nai Nai, this is Theresa, my high school best friend, but then we moved and I lost contact with each other until now.

Nai Nai: Nice to meet you Theresa!

Theresa: Oh nice to meet you too, Mrs Man

Annie: *Turned over to Theresa* So Where are you going?

Theresa: *By the question, made her suddenly remembered of the horrible night she was going through, emotions built up as she whispered out her situation in the howling voice* I just came home early from my business trip, and I¡KI found my boyfriend was sleeping with one of my friend in our bed. I couldn¡¦t stand it so I had to get away! *She sobbed*

Annie: *Consoled the friend by a constant patting on the shoulder* I¡¦m so sorry I didn¡¦t mean to! *Just then, Jimmy¡¦s head light appeared and soon his car stopped in front of her Taxi¡¦s Lane, Annie suddenly felt bad for leaving Theresa alone in this stage* There have you got any place to stay!

Theresa: No! *She wept*

Annie: *Turned over to her Grandma, while Jimmy got of the car to get the umbrella* Grandma can you let Theresa come home to night. Our flat on the roof is nearly finish we can lend her the place.

Theresa: *Tried to refuse* Oh no, don¡¦t worry I can get a taxi and find a motel.

Nai Nai: Don¡¦t worry, we been looking for a decent person to rent out flat as well. And as you¡¦re soaking wet, you need some where to get change soon, before you can catch a cold! * The grandma kindly offered, as Annie smiled in persuade. Just then Jimmy reached to the people with a big umbrella on his hand*

Jimmy: Sorry Nai Nai, we can go now!

Annie: *Walked over to Theresa* Come on, Theres let's go home.

Jimmy: *Looked over at the soaking, messy looking lady with his sister* Who is she?

Annie: She is my friend in trouble so she will be staying with us.

Jimmy: What's you bring a stranger home just like that.

Annie: She used to be my best friend.

Jimmy: So...

Nai Nai: Jimmy! I accepted for Theresa to stay with us, and when our flat finish she will move up there, now let¡¦s go home.

Jimmy was still very reluctantly on the thought of bringing a stranger home so sudden. He was always the most concern and worry. But with Annie's eager and Nai Nai's acceptant, he couldn't do anything else rather then watched the strange girl got into his cars with the ladies of the house.

(top)

She caught the eyes of the raging master!

Nai Nai was setting for their breakfast table, when Jimmy walked out from his door, still messy from his sleep.

Jimmy: Morning Nai Nai! *He yawned and walked into the bathroom, shut its door*

Nai Nai: Morning Jimmy.

Just then Annie and Theresa walked out from Annie¡¦s bedroom, since the girls had been sharing their long-term reunion night together.

Annie: Morning Nai Nai!

Theresa: Morning, Mrs Man.

Nai Nai: Morning girls, and please Theresa call me Nai Nai.

Theresa: *Smiled back* Yes, Nai Nai!

Annie: *Turning over to Theresa, while pointing her finger to the bathroom* Theres, the bathroom is over there, you can wash up first, I¡¦ll help Nai Nai with the breakfast.

Theresa nodded and then moved her way to the bathroom, as she twisted on the door knock and finds the door was unlock, so in one push Theresa opened the door prepare to walk in. Only then, her eyes widens in shock, looking at Jimmy, half top naked, only with a long towel wrapped around from his waist. Standing at the basin brushing his teeth, until he stands up to look when the door suddenly opens, more of a shock, when realizes it was not his sister or his grandma, but the totally strange lady.

Jimmy: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *Shouted out the best as he could, making his tooth paste to drizzle out from his big mouth*

Theresa: *Seeing the scary half-naked man, with white paste coming out from his mouth, she also screamed after him* Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Annie: *Quickly rushed over the bathroom to see why the screaming* Hey, Theres, what is it? *Just then she looked in the still wide opened bathroom door and saw her brother¡¦s freaky sight* Aiyah, Ge, get dress! *She pushed Theresa back in the main room and closed the door*

Theresa: *Finally calm down* Is that your brother? *She sighed*

Annie: Yeah! *Reluctantly nodded* The crazy one!

Just then a door knock from the outside disturbed in the lady¡¦s conversation, as Annie chased out to open the door.

Annie: Vicki! Why so early!

Vickie: Morning, I got food! My mom saw these nice and fresh Chinese donuts in the morning, so she grabbed some extra and asked me to give to Nai Nai. *Stepped in the house*

Nai Nai: *Walked out to see who at the door* Morning Vicki, you didn¡¦t bring food to us again, right?

Vicki: Yes, Nai Nai, I got Chinese donuts for you! *Just then she noticed the strange lady sitting on the couch* Hi! *Greeted to the lady*

Theresa: *Smiled back* Hi!

Annie: *Quickly raced in the middle to introduce* I¡¦m Vicki this is, Theresa, my best friend in primary, we just met up lastnight. Theres, this is Vicki, my best neighbour.

Vicki and Theresa was just getting to know each other, when the bathroom door open and Jimmy came storming out, but when seeing Vicki was there, he tried to cool down.

Jimmy: Hi, Vicki! Missy, the bathroom is yours now! *Grumpily stared over his little sister and then walked in his room*

Annie: Theres, you go in first!

Theresa agreed and quickly walks into the bathroom safely this time. While staying outside, Annie tries to explain to Vicki about Theresa's situation, and how she will soon become their latest neighbour.

Vicki: Oh, is that what happen, poor girl, wonder how she could cope with it so well?

Jimmy: *Walked out from his room, nicely dressed as he already for work* Yeah, so sorry for the poor girl, you don't know what she is planning in her mind!

Annie: *Grumpily tumbled over to her brother's side* Ge, why are you so against with These, there is nothing wrong with Theresa, I can ensure you that!

Jimmy: *Trying to push his sister away* I know, you'll never listen to me now, anyway, go and brush your teeth Missy, it's getting bad! *As her big brother power moves on, Jimmy tried to push Annie backward to the bathroom's door, just then the door opened, as Theresa surprisingly had to support for Annie little body which was been bully by her bother. Jimmy stunningly stopped when seeing the strange lady, who just exited the bathroom. She was already cleaned up nicely, and looking not any where messy and soaking like last night.*

Theresa: Annie, are you alright?

Annie: Yeah, thanks, Theres! *Turning over to her brother with a slap, yet strangely he didn't fight back* And no thanks to you ¡¥big brother¡¦! *After that she stepped into the bathroom, not forgetting to stick her tongue out to the brother before close on the door*

Theresa left alone standing in the hallway with Jimmy, both were feeling extremely uncomfortable, and luckily Vicki came in on time.

Vicki: Hey guys, Nai Nai calls for breakfast come quickly. Come on Theresa! *Started pulling Theresa away, leaving Jimmy to follow last.
--------------------------------------------

When Annie got dressed for work, she joined the family breakfast. Vicki had left earlier coming back to her home, so the dinner was joined by the normal members except, the addition person.

Nai Nai: So what are you going to do today Theresa.

Theresa: I support to have the rest of the week off, but guest I have to alert my company on the change of address.

Annie: Where do you work? *Biting on a big piece of toast*

Theresa: Oh, Compra Intel, in West Street.

Annie: Ah, that's near where ge works, right? *Turning over to her brother with a cheeky wink, while Jimmy tried to look down.

Nai Nai: So Jimmy, why don't you give Theresa a lift later!

Jimmy: *He puzzled, but when looking over to see the ladies eager eyes staring at him, Jimmy had no choice* Okey! *Mumbled*

=============================================================

At Vicki's apartment.

She just had every thing packed for her afternoon class and is about to leave the house.

Vicki: *Saying good bye to her mother* Mum, I'm going now!

Mrs Chiu: *Grabbed on the umbrella and passed to Vicki* Darling, take the umbrella with you, I think it'll going to rain soon. Oh and I called a Taxi for you, so just wait outside for it ok!

Vicki: Thanks mum! *She blows a kiss to her mother, and rush out the door*

===============================================================

On a dark Limousine, traveling in the middle of the road.

Le Ying: *still on the phone with his father* No father, I'm not taking a look on that block of land.

Mr Ching (on the other line): Come on son, the block is really good and had future.

Le Ying: But father, it's going to clash with my holiday, so no way. I'm getting out of here tomorrow. And that's the end. *He cut off the phone, and crankily puffed out* Gosh, when would he understand me?

Chan Peng: *Looking down from the front seat* Sir, don't be mad. Lao ye was only trying to build more for your fortune later.

Le Ying: *Sharply looked over to his assistant* And do I look like I'm needing more of that.

Chan Peng abruptly shut down on his supportive pace, as he well understands there would be nothing could change the powerful stubborn mind of the young master. Suddenly the car give a quick breaks and then slowly pulled over one side of the road.

Le Ying: What's the hell is going now, I don't like stopping in the middle of the road! *Heavily complained*

Chan Peng: *worriedly looked out to the storming sky, threatening for a heavy falls very soon. Then questioned his look over the driver* What's happening now?

The driver: *Getting out of the car* I don't know I go to check it out now! *He walked out and Chan Peng followed after telling his master to stay calm

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The driver: *disappointingly reported back with Chan Peng, after a brief check at the car* The engine is broken, I had to call for back up.

Chan Peng: WHAT? *Frustratingly horrified* No, no you got to fix it now, or I'll get it*fearfully he gave a little glance back to the young grumpy master, sitting in the back of the car, waiting*

Le Ying: *Not a very patient person, especially when his car suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, anxiously waiting for his assistant to tell him clearly of what was happening, Le Ying pressed down the window, and shouted out* CHAN PENG, What¡¦s the hell is going on out there?

Chan Peng: *Promptly chased over by the window's side of his young master* Shao ye, the car broken, we're going for the back up!

Le Ying: WHAT? *Brutally groaned out, as Chan Peng almost fell down from the nervous shock* What kind of service is this, can't even get a decent car. The meeting is starting soon, and I'm going to smash down every single deal! *Stamped his fist on the seat, as steams was blowing out from his ears*

Chan Peng: *Suddenly remembered of the meeting which they were on the way going to the office, but by the car stopping down, they're surely going to be late. He aware that his master is willing to turn down those millions dollars deal in the temper moment, but Chan Peng also doesn't want his older master to blame on him later if they deal broke down. Quickly thinking, he picked up the mobile and rang for an urgent Taxi, and then turned over to his master, hopefully to calm down the boiling monster* Shao Ye, I called the taxi, they will be here soon.

Le Ying: HOW SOON! Don't you understand that I'm not going to wait anymore. I WANT TO GET MOVING NOW. NOW. DO YOU HEAR ME! *He yelled out so loud that even the driver who was fixing the car in the front, had to look over to see what was going on*

Chan Peng: *Shakily received the hot blames into his ear, as his eyes quickly searched around for a better solution. Luckily, a bright light popped on, when he saw a taxi was pulling over on the other side of the road* Shao ye, please wait, I will be back, very soon! *After that he crossed the road in rush to chase over the Taxi, while Le Ying was still irritatingly looked over in fuming anger*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vicki had been waiting at the front door for a few minutes, before she happily walked out and waves at the Taxi, which was pulling into the side lane. No doubt, it was her drive, so she quickly moved over the car. But only when Vicki opened the back door and about to step in, she heard a man calling out from the other side, as he was trying to move as quick as possible from a dark limousine, parking on the other lane.

Chan Peng: *Waving his hands at the Taxi* Please wait, please! *He quickly paused by the driver door* Hey, I need the ride now!

The Taxi's driver: Sorry sir. My ride already booked.

Chan Peng: UH? *Frowned in tiredness and disappointment*

The Taxi's driver: Although you can try to ask the lady there! *Pointing his finger to Vicki who was still standing at the back door of the car on the walking lane*

Chan Peng: *Quickly chased over to her side with the brightest smile* Xiao Jie, is this your ride.

Vicki: Yes! *Nodded hesitantly, while watching in caution at the strange man*

Chan Peng: Oh, please Xiao jie. My car broke down unexpectedly from the other side, but my master needed to attend in a very urgent meeting can you please!.*his voice slow down once looking at the young lady, who was abruptly looked on her watch. Senses were telling him that words may not be enough, he quickly picked out his wallet from the back pocket and pulled out a few hundreds notes and gave them over to Vicki* Here, I'll pay for you.

Vicki: *Surprisingly looks at the money and then to the strange man, she was only checking her watch to see if she had enough time to wait for another Taxi, not as she didn't want to offer him the ride. Kindly she smiled* Okey! You can have the ride, I'm not late and can wait for another one!

Chan Peng: *Gives a big frown in relief* Ohhh, thank you every much Xiao jie, here, please take this! *Passing over the money to her*

Vicki: *Quickly put out her hand to stop the money and shoved it back toward the man* Oh no. It¡¦s nothing don¡¦t have to pay me. I can just go up to my house and make another call for the cab. You can go first!

Chan Peng: *Shocked on the kind offer from the young lady without asking for any reward, following his young master into the business world of money all these time, he only thought that no one will reject money, but she was the first* Thank you every much miss! *He bowed politely and quickly rushed over to the other side and tells the driver to make the U turn over the other lane to pick up his master*

------------------------------------------------------------------

Chan Peng: *Chased to his master side, when the Taxi pulled over the right lane, waiting for them* Shao Ye, I got the Taxi, Please move over the car, it's waiting for us.

Le Ying: *Crabbily stormed out of the car, when Chan Peng opened the door for him* What's a day, I had guessed not to come to this place! I'm going to nail those Hong Kong guys down to the ground.

Chan Peng: *Trying to smile to unleash the stress tension* Don't worry master, we should be right for time now, thanks to the nice lady who offered the ride for us! *He was happily pointing the finger to the other side, where Vicki was standing, but the grouching master was not in a mood to look over.

Le Ying: *Stepped in the Taxi with disgust, it's been so long since he travels in a public transport and surely it is not a very pleasant experience* Gosh, is this a car, I can't hardly stretch my legs!

The Taxi's driver: *Strangely looks down to the customer at the back* Excuse me sir, but car is not design to stretch your legs!

Le Ying: *Sharply gazes a strong look at the Taxi, accusing him for having the gut to talk back and correct the powerful tiger, but Chan Peng quickly clears the tension when he got in the front seat*

Chan Peng: *Still puffing from all the rush* Please shao ye, don't worry I promise this will never again.

Le Ying: Good, because this environment is disgusting.

The Taxi's driver: *Mumbling in his mouth* Rich people always think themselves as aliens. I would refer to have simple customers like the lady before!

Le Ying: Over heard the voice, but he strongly yelled out to Chan Peng at the front* Chan Peng, how much did you pay for the girl?

Chan Peng: Oh I didn't pay her sir, she didn't take the money.

Le Ying: *Quite shocks* What, did you actually give the money to her?

Chan Peng: Yes sir! I gave three hundreds, but she refused and just offer the Taxi without any exchange! She was very nice, kind, and pretty too sir! *He was relaxingly described back the attractive image of the young lady he just saw, which saved his morning*

The Taxi's driver: Not everybody crazy for money! *Mockingly said to the back*

Le Ying: What a strange person? *He grunted out, and with curious, Le Ying turned backward, hopefully to catch a quick look at the strange person who didn't want his money. And luckily it was the moment she turned to walk inside. He only catches a very quick gleam at her face. But it was enough for Le Ying's sensitive heart to take a soft romantically clenched*

Vicki stared her fury eyes for a little while, watching at the rushing assistant from the far distance who was trying to accompany his master to the taxi and drove away. She smiled gently, thinking of the funny offer before with the money and then walked back inside the apartment to make another call.

She's rolling the dice!

The make-up artist: *Packed up her equipment and was about to leave the room with a quick reminder* Frankie, you’re next costume is over there, so get dress and we’ll be filming in another 30 mins, okey.

Frankie: Sure, thanks Jane.

As Jane exited from the room, Frankie relaxingly take off his covering coat, leaving on him the simple pant from his last costume with the ancient high boot, but on the top there was nothing more than a thin line T-shirt. Just when he about to take out the new costume, suddenly the door through his changing room opened slowly and his co-star, Kristy Yang walked in.

Kristy: Hi, Frankie! *She smiled attractively*

Frankie: *Smiled back with his normal flirtation grin at his female work mates* Hi Kristy! Wanting me! *He winked an indication look as she smiled with acceptation, since both of them had been pulling themselves together with each other.*

Kristy: *Walking over in front of Frankie, standing as closest as she could* Hey, are you free later, maybe we could get some lunch! *She invited with the look that no one can refuse, when he smiled happily and clearly was about to accept the offer, then the door suddenly flung opened, and an irritating Annie stormed in*

Annie: *Glanced at the overall situation and then looked over to Kristy* Miss Yang, the director wants you! *Partly alert to Kristy when her main purpose was to stop attraction, well that’s her job. She will get problem if Frankie get involve with anyone in the work place, that’s the rule of her contract*

Kristy: *Frowningly withdrew herself away from Frankie, and turned over to Annie with the doubting look* Oh, why does the director wants me for?

Annie: *Roll her eyes around* Oh, I don’t know, maybe you didn’t act quite as well in the last scene, so he needs to fix thing up, so you better go! *Replied in her mocking voice*

Kristy: *Grumpily looked into Annie’s fearless eyes. No matter how much she adored her cute co-star and wanted to make some further movement with him, but she never hated any females like she does with his stricture assistant* Okey, I’ll see you later Frankie! *Turned over and smiled at him before she moved to the door, when going passed Annie, she loudly mumble out* It’s not like, I’m trying to seduce your boyfriend, so don’t be to harsh on yourself, I will have him sooner or later!

Annie: *Shiftily looked straight at Kristy and shouted out her replied as if she wants both parties, Kristy and Frankie to listen clearly* Oh, I don’t really care if you’re seducing him or even going to rape him. Because to be my boyfriend, he can’t even score one quarter of a single point! You can do anything with him, just don’t do it at the workplace, then I won’t bother, hear it!

Kristy bites her lips, not knowing what to reply then she embarrassingly left the room and closed the door.

Frankie: *After Kristy gone, he brutally walked over to Annie and pulled a hard one on her arm to look at him* Hey, Listen crappy lady, you’re not my mother, you work for me. So stop trying to take control of my personal life. Do you hear me? *He strongly grinned his teeth on the last sentence, but to no effect Annie just simply dusted his grab off her arm, and determinedly turned over and argue right in his face*

Annie: Well, sorry, Mr. Bimbo. But if you ask your mother, then you will know what I am pay to take control your personal life at work. So like it or not. Go and discuss with your mother. For me, as long as you don’t show any lusting sign in front of me, you’re be fine, get it. BIMBO! *Opened wide her eyes with no fear staring at him in their close distance.*

Frankie: YOU! *He almost grunted out steams from his nose, as his highly put up his hand, treating to hit her*

Annie: *Seeing his violent action, she even stepped in closer to challenge him* You want to hit me! Go ahead! I can claim work injury money and I can also sue you for harassing! So…

Frankie: *Forcedly dropped down his hand* Get out, I need to change!

Annie: *Happily agreed* Good, I thought your flirting mind never remember about work again. Get change quickly you got 15 minutes. *After putting out the order to him and then she delightfully danced her way to her door, another winning sign*

Frankie: *Evilly looked on behind her mischief back* Such a witch, I would pay anything to get rib of her.

===============================================================

At the conference room, everybody was already sitting around the oval meeting table, waiting anxiously for the arrival of the young master, the key of the meeting. Suddenly the double antic door flung opened in the heaviest speed and the highly incensed master stormed in, followed behind the puzzle looking Chan Peng.

Mr Fong: Ah, Mr Ching, you’re finally here! Great shall we begin. *Stood up to greet Le Ying as he put out his hand, toward to young master*

Le Ying: *Coldly walked past, instead of return the business handshake on Mr Fong offer, walking straight toward to chairman position* Everybody, I am badly disappointed on the service of your place, it’s is a absolute disgrace service. And when your not taking me seriously on the deal, so while bother to go on with me. Gentlemen, I AM NOT GOING TO LET YOU USE MY WORK IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO LOOK AFTER IT. THAT IT. GOOD BYE! * After the last sentence, he dashed out carelessly despite all the apologized around the room*

Chan Peng: * Before went off after his master, he had to looked back and say sorry to all the high class businessmen, whom his young master doesn’t have any respect or care for!* Sorry, Mr Ching had a long day! * Then he rushing on chasing behind his master*

All the businessmen were left with blank expression, The young Mr Ching was popular for his top requisition and stubborn mind. But they never see the full picture until today.

=========================================================

Maggie was going through her shopping day alone, where she less likely to have it due to the increasing work loads. Suddenly at the information desk, she realised a few people was crowding around an anxious little girl, curious enough Maggie quickly walked over.

Maggie: *Asking the nearby staff* Excuse me sir, what’s wrong!

The office’s staff: This girl is lost, we been trying to find her parents, but she can’t talk, so we haven’t difficulty.

Maggie: Oh! *She glanced her eyes down to the little poor girl, who was only about 5 or 6, but looking every worry, Maggie bend down, and gave her a welcome smile, and then with her skill in sign language, she tried to communicate with the girl* (Hi there, are you lost!)

The little girl: *responded by sign language* (Yes, I’m looking for my father)

Maggie: *Looked up to the staff* She looking for her father. *Then she turned back to the girl* (Can you tell me his name, they’ll call him up for you!)

The little girl: *Spelling out her father name, as Maggie watched and read out each letter.*

Maggie: L-O-U-I-S. (You’re father name is Louis?) *Suddenly a little memory appeared but she was wishing for it not to be what she thought it is*

The little girl: (Yes, my father’s name is Louis Koo)

Maggie: *Big frown inside of disappointment, and then she looked up to the staff* Can you call for Mr Louis Koo, to pick up his daughter! *Turned back to the girl* (What is you’re name?)

The little girl: (My name is Sally, what is your name miss?)

Maggie: *Smiled* (My name is Maggie!)

The announcement was made and in a few minutes, Louis came flying in to pick up the little Sally in his arm.

Louis: Aiyah! Sally, where have you been, I was so worry! *Maggie stood up looking at the reunion in shock, the man which she was supposedly having a crush on is married with a child* “That’s you’re punishment for being picky Maggie” *She frowned to herself*

The little girl: *After hugging her father, she turned around to Maggie and indicated a thank you sign, making the attraction for Louis to look around. He saw Maggie and blurry recognised who she was* (Father, that lady can use sign language, and she ask your name then tell it to the officer!)

Louis: *After looking at what his daughter was telling him, he hesitantly turned over to Maggie* Thank you, Ms…

Maggie: Maggie, Maggie Cheung! We met before at the post office. I’m Vicki’s friend.

Louis: Oh yes! That’s right, well thank you for your help.

The little girl: *Looking at Maggie and asked* (I known Vicki, she’s nice to me)

Maggie: *Surprised that the girl could understand what she said* (You can hear me?)

Louis: She can hear, but she can’t..talk!

Maggie: Oh, poor thing *She patted the girl’s head*

The little girl: *Turned over to Louis* (Father, I like her, can she go shopping with us)

Maggie: *Quickly refused* Oh, Thanks Sally, but I have to get back home now, and you have to get back to your mother, I’ll bet she’s waiting for you!

The little girl: (But I don’t have any mother)

Maggie: Oh! *Surprisingly turned her look to Louis, who was desperately finding a way to escape.*

Louis: Come on Sally, we must go now! * He picked up Sally again, and turned a quick sight to Maggie* Thank you Ms Cheung, but we have to go now. Bye! * While Maggie hasn’t got any chance to reply or ask question, he was long gone with Sally lingering eyes still looked back to Maggie.*

==================================================

At the hotel room, Le Ying was still running in his hot temper from what happen in the morning, while Chan Peng was still busy and anxious as always, trying to talk for another meeting with the businessmen, and convince his young master.

Chan Peng: *Sitting beside Le Ying’s massage sofa* Shao ye, I organized another meeting for next morning, so you only need to drop by sign the deal and we can go on the late flight!

Le Ying: *Snapped back in his assistant softened expression * Can you shut up about the deal for one second. I only want something to get my mind clear. DO YOU UNDERSTAND.

Chan Peng: *Frowningly stood up* Yes, sir! * He started to walk at the bar*

Le Ying: Chan Peng * He called back when the assistant was walking half way so the assistant had to do a U turn*

Chan Yeng: Yes, shao ye *hoping that the master had changed his mind*

Le Ying: I want a date with the girl this morning, so go and set it up for it, tonight!

Chan Yeng: * Surprisingly shock* What’s girl? *Just then he remembered * Oh, the girl this morning. Oh, shao ye you can’t be serious, I don’t know her name I don’t know where she live, I don’t…

Le Ying: * Cruelly cut in* I don’t care! I want a date with her tonight! * Then he recklessly walked out from the chair and into the full facility bathroom, leaving the poor assistant to strangle his head again for another plan to woo the next girl as his master ordered.*

=============================================

At the roof balcony.

Maggie: *Pushing Vicki down on the swinging chair, harshly* Why didn’t you tell me that he was married?

Vicki: *Trying to fight her way out of the tight grab * Tell you what? Who is married? Gosh, let me go, trying to murder me!

Maggie: *Finally let go of Vicki, but she was still standing as a big accusing pressure * You didn’t tell that that Louis is married, even with a kid.

Vicki: *Frowned in realisation * Oh, him! But you never ask me, anyway, I never thought you were that serious with him!

Maggie: Well, now I’m not!

Vicki: Hey! How did you find out anyway?

Maggie: I saw them, father and daughter at the shop today.

Vicki: Oh you saw Sally, isn’t she adorable.

Maggie: *Her anger softened, thinking of the unfortunate the girl, with those adorable pity eyes* Yeah, she is a cute one right.

Vicki: Yeah, her mother died when she was born, Sally is a very hard child to look after, Louis spent his 7 years alone to take care of his daughter.

Maggie: *Sighed back to the chair * He’s a wonderful man, but too bad, already taken.

Vicki: Well, but he’s still alone, you known! *Leading over to Maggie’s side with a little encouraging smile*

Maggie: *Sighed again* But married man, is not my type.

Vicki was about to pressure on, when she saw her father walking up to the roof looking for her.

Vicki: Daddy! Looking for me?

Mr Chiu: Vicki, there someone down the house looking for you, better go down and see him, honey!

Vicki: Okey dad, I’ll be down now! *She watched her father moved back downstairs and then turned over to Maggie* Are you alright now?

Maggie: Yeah, don’t worry about me.

Vicki nodded with understand, but quickly she had to move back downstairs to see who would want to see her in this late evening hours.

=============================================

Vicki reached down the entrance of her apartment and was surprised, seeing the strange man, who in the morning she just offered the Taxi ride.

Vicki: Hello sir, can I help you?

Chan Peng: *Jumped up with relief, he had been knocking at almost everything single level of the apartment building, and finally he found her* Oh, There you are. I’m so glad that you do live here.

Vicki: *lots of puzzling* Can I help you sir! *She pressed on the question harder*

Chan Peng: *Quickly pulled out his business card and handed to Vicki with his most bright begging smile* OH, My name is Chan Peng, assistant of the Ching. This morning you gave the ride to my master and he wants to repay you, by…*He puzzled* Can you join him for dinner tonight.

Vicki: *being busily inspected on the card. But hearing the urgent dinner invitation, she looked up with more fury* Oh, no. Tell you’re master that it was nothing, don’t worry about the dinner. *She was about to walk away when Chan Peng, quickly chased up, cutting in her lane*

Chan Peng: No, Miss, you don’t understand I really need you…I mean he really would like you to join for dinner, please. *A normal quick thought, he picked up a few hundreds notes and pass it in front of Vicki*

Vicki: *felt strange yet a little scary from the strange offer, but at the same time being insult with the money shoving at her like that* Well, I’m sorry sir. But I’m not the desperately for money, and for the last time. I don’t want to go on the date with your master. So please go! *She pushed him away and went straight in her apartment, shutting the door in front of his eager eyes*

Chan Peng: But miss! Damn *He stamped his foot on the ground and used his hand to hit on his forehand* I’m going to have no peace to night. And didn’t even get her name.

(top)

She's a friendly ghost!

At the Hotel’s room

Chan Peng, the indigent secretary is standing nervously within a little corner at the wine bar, waiting for the explosion from his young master. Since he just reported the news, that he had failed in organizing that sudden dinner date for his master and the strange girl you he barely met this morning.

Le Ying: *Stamped his fist on the table, with the wineglass holding on his other hand, he was almost about to throw it at Chan Peng, from the other side* Can you be more HOPELESS then this! I asked you to do ONE simple job, to offer a normal girl to have a date with me, and you crawling back here, saying that she REFUSED me?

Chan Peng: Sor..sorry…shao ye, but…but I had tried everything, give her money, but she seem…..not….interested!

Le Ying: NOT INTERESTED, in me! What soft of girl is she, a disguised princess, daughter of the Queen. *He stormed heavily closer to Chan Peng* But even so, I will not care! I want to see her, and you have to get her for me!

Chan Peng: But…But….I …can’t..

Le Ying: I don’t care you reckless bastard. I ordered you to get her for me! So bring your useless “ash” back to that place, FIND THE GIRL, GIVE HER WHAT EVER AMOUNT SHE WANTS, TELL HER CLEARLY WHO I AM! AND MAKE HER CRAWL BACK TO BEG UNFER MY FEET, GET IT, STUPID!

Chan Peng: *Tried to swallow down his unwillingness, he nodded, turned down his face and moved out to the door. Leaving Le Ying still breathing heavily with the anger, since living a successful life in the wealthy world, no one ever rejected his invitation before, especially after they heard his name and found out who he is! And now he would not going to lay easy for an infamous, nameless Hong Kong’s girl.*

=======================================================

At Louis’s house, in Sally’s bedroom, he had just finish reading her the bedtime story book as usual, and he is now tucking her in to sleep.

Louis: *Pulls up the blanket to cover his little girl, warmly, kissed her forehead* Good night, sweetheart, sweet dream!

Sally: *Uses her little finger and draw a heart shape on her chest and then pointed it to her father meaning ‘I love you daddy’*

Louis: I love you too! *He gave her another the kiss, watched as she closed her eyes in peace, for while, he stood up, and turned off the small lamp in her room and then walked out*

Louis went straight to the backdoor, checking everything were locked, including all the windows. He firmly gave a last look around his small living room area, before turned off the lights and walked into his room. Life was just like that for Louis, quite and lonesome since his wife had left him and their disabled daughter to go away with her lover, the one she claimed to be true love. But as a gentleman, Louis never review the bitter separation of his broken relationship, he only tells people that Sally’s mother had passed away. That is to help lessen the complicate detail on Sally’s profile and maybe to make him feels a little less betrayed.

========================================

Vicki heard the doorbell, since she was expecting Maggie to come down with that novel she just asked for over the phone. So she quickly chased to the door with no hesitation in checking for who it was.

Vicki: *Opened the door and was surprised to see Chan Peng* uhhh….Can I help you again, sir!?

Chan Peng: Oh miss, please will you accept the invitation with my master…

Vicki: No, I’m sorry, but I don’t go out like that with someone I don’t know.

Chan Peng: But you’re not going out with any person. You’ll have the chance to be with the Ching Le Ying.

From the stair case corner, Maggie had just arrived, but hearing the loud discussion, she stood over one side to listen.

Vicki: No, I’m sorry I don’t know who Ching Le Ying is, and again, I don’t go out with stranger!

Maggie: *thought to herself with a little amazement expression* “The Ching Le Ying! I feel hot news coming up!”

Chan Peng: Please, you don’t know how necessary this is to me! *He started to search for his wallet* Here I can help you with …

Vicki: *Quickly cut it, pushing his wallet away* Woo…there, that money trick is not going to work on me, okey!

Chan Peng: Then what do I have to do, how much do I have to give, please tell!

Vicki: *Sighed out aloud* You really don’t get it do you! I said I am not going to have dinner with your master, and I don’t want your money, any of your money. Now it’s getting over the visiting time so could you please leave me…otherwise….I …have to call the security guard up!

Chan Peng: Okey..Okey! I understand, but here is my business card and my master’s card as well. If you can think about it tonight, and if any changes of mind, please…please call me at any time!

Vicki: *doesn’t want to receive the cards, but looking at the man desperate pleading action, she couldn’t say no* Ok! But if you don’t hear from me, please don’t come to my house again.

Chan Peng sadly bit good bye, on the way out he almost bump into Maggie at the stair who had to step to one side leaving room for him to go. After the man left, Maggie came over to Vicki.

Maggie: Is all that for real?

Vicki: *frowned* All what?

Maggie: You getting the invitation from Ching Le Ying and all that pressure? *she looked down and saw the book on her hand, then quickly give it to Vicki* Oh, here is the book you want! I can tell some one will be up late tonight!

Vicki: Oh thanks! Great, at least it will get my mind off the crazy things that happened today! *received the book in her hand and then placed the card in between the pages* A strange person, I don’t understand!

And then as short as she could, Vicki retold to Maggie about what happened this morning in front of the building. And added to that Maggie filled in the whole information about who is Ching Le Ying. But with all that promotion about the richest guy in Taiwan, Vicki did not feel interest.

=============================================

Frankie had been enjoying a night out, and the fun was still carrying on at his doorstep. Pushing in the door open carelessly, while his arms were still holding on the giggling Kristy Yang. The young stars was too captivated in picking each other that they missed the firmly looking Mrs Lam who had been sitting at the living room all this time, waiting for her son to come home. It’s only shook Frankie when a loud pretended cough was heard, he quickly turned around in stun, looking at his mother.

Frankie: Mum, you’re still awake!

Mrs Lam: Ofcouse I am, to witness your reckless fun. *Started walking toward to doorway where the couple had been standing. Her eyes moved down from her son to Kristy displeasingly* Miss Yang, I think it’s late you should go home. Adam will be out the door, happy to give you the drive home.

Kristy: *With the clearly disapproval from the mother, Kristy glanced a yearning look over Frankie, who showed no lesser in disappointed* Yes, Mrs Lam. I see you at work, Frankie! *And she walked out, with Mrs Lam followed behind, making sure that she is really going, and then shut the door closed*

Frankie: Mother, this is not fair! She’s my friend.

Mrs Lam: You’re unprofessional fun kind of friend. Didn’t Annie tell you that you can’t get involve with your workmate.

Frankie: But she not just a workmate, mother! I think…I like her!

Mrs Lam: Well you can’t. I won’t allow you.

Frankie: *Started stamping his feet as his sulky childish is arousing* Why? Mother! *He grumpily walked over and dropped down on the sofa*

Mrs Lam: Because it is not good! *Started to walk over sit down beside Frankie frowning body, then she started to comfort him* Come on, darling, you know that everything I do is for you goodness. For the rest of the family, as long as you don’t get involve with anyone until I see that she’s okey.

Frankie: *soften, but still not happy* I don’t understand mother, you never like any girl that I like. So what type of person to you is the right type?

Mrs Lam: *rolled her eyes in pretend and then strongly looks down to Frankie* Well, someone …like….um….Annie.

Frankie: *frightenly yelled out* Ahhh? Mother, I asked for the type that I can like, not the type for me to hate!

==================================================

Inside Annie’s darkening bedroom, after a hard day tackling with her master, Frankie, she finally gets some rest and this is what she dreamt about.

The misty blurry air started to move away, showing a strong body of a male is kneeling down, his hands holding firmly to a tray full of delicious fruits. He was asking the lady mistress who was sitting on the high chair above, smiling with enjoyment. Yep, you guessed it, the poor male is Frankie, and the cheeky kind of evil mistress is Annie.

Frankie: *sobbing as he brings the fruit’s tray higher* Please miss I been picking these for days! They are the best already!

Annie: *angrily kicked on his stomach bringing him down to the ground, crying* Um…The best! Only to you low IQ mind that can consider these are the best, I can’t barely smell them not let alone eat them! Why don’t you eat it yourself you heedless BIMBO, hah *And with that the lady mistress used all her power and kicked a another hard one toward Frankie, bringing his body to roll around the floor and then disappeared* HAHAHhahahah…*She laughed*

A strange voice from no where suddenly speaks out!

The voice: Aiyah! Missy, I can’t imagine how mean you are! Even in your dream you couldn’t get the guy out of your head.

Annie: *looked around in caution* Who’s that! The voice sounded very familiar! *She whispered to herself*

The clouding air once again departs, leaving way for another person, or more correctly, spirit to move in. Ruby’s clear image in white slowly appeared with her friendly smile.

Ruby: Silly! Even my voice you can’t recognise so why bother come to see my grave for?

Annie: *Jumped up with joy as she about to walk over and hung Ruby, but the transferring image of her friend, disappeared in thins air, and then later recovered but from a different corner* Hey! You playing that disappearing game with me again!

Ruby: *Grinned* No I’m not, I’m in your dream ofcouse you can’t touch me! It’s different from when I make myself visible to you!

Annie: So why don’t you make yourself visible then.

Ruby: Because someone was too fast in sleep, dreaming about how to kick her boss.

Annie: *remembered of the punishing scene before, she couldn’t help but laugh* Yeah, isn’t that great, is there anyway I can do that to the Bimbo in reality?

Ruby: Um…Annie…Annie *She frowned, shaking her head* Look at ya! You still like a baby, missy! *smiled playfully*

Annie: *pointed her finger up* That is so not true at all!

Ruby: *still smiling* My advise is to take it easy, whose know you guys may have to be with each other for awhile longer.

Annie: *Jumped up with shock* Huh? No way, I have to be with that Bimbo longer, I rather kill myself! *Suddenly she saw Ruby giggling hard* Hey! What is it that you saw in the future which I don’t know!

Ruby: Shhhhhhhhhhh…Missy! Secret can’t be review.

Annie: Hum! That’s not fair.

==========================================================

After visiting Annie, as the normal route Ruby flow toward the next door to see her other best mate, Vicki! But the fully awake Vicki was still deeply attracted to her novel. Ruby waited for awhile to see if her friend would fall asleep soon. But with no luck, the friendly spirit decided to go downstairs to see her other friend, Maggie, and then come back to Vicki later.

Maggie was in her normal sleep, until her long lost friend invaded in her dream.

Maggie: Oh Ruby! I would hold you if I can! How have you been down there!

Ruby: Um just nice! Everything is warm and sweet.

Maggie: Um, strange! *wondered* I thought it supposes to be cold and cruel?

Ruby: *smiled* It depend on how you looks at thing! Everywhere is the same. Even up here some people still complain, life is too much, the other just take it slowly. I’m just happy ghost with where I am now! Only the three of you that I’m concerning for!

Maggie: Oh! Don’t worry about us honey! We’re humans, and humans are supposed to get in a lot of trouble. *she laughed, trying to make it as a joke.*

Ruby: *still looking serious, she moved closer to Maggie* Maggie! I won’t be a friend if I don’t warn you now! Becareful ok, you will tumble pass a few tracks very soon. But no matter what will happen, just believe in yourself. Remember if you’re still breathing there is no end to the world okey!

Ruby’s serious words more or less brought a sudden awareness to Maggie. But she can’t ask any further, just try to remember it to remind herself later.

=================================================

Even after Ruby had left Maggie to come back with Vicki. But the soon director to be was too captivated in her book that she shows no sign of going to put it down. Ruby stood invisible in one corner and sighed, she shook her head in giving up.

Vicki was planning to turn to a different side on her bed, but out of the sudden she saw Ruby’s body suddenly appeared solidly from thin air.

Vicki: Ahhhh! *Shouted and sit up* My god! Ruby! Can’t you knock.

Ruby: *Laughed* My gosh Vicki, I’m a ghost!

Vicki: So, but don’t just snap in like that!

Ruby: Well, It’s 2 in the morning, and if you have been sleeping, it would be easier for me!

Vicki: *Looked down to her book and realised how late it was* Oh! Sorry Honey! You come to see me! *She leaned over to give Ruby a hug*

Ruby: *Patting on Vicki’s shoulder, it feel good to touch her friend, but she can’t always make herself visible like this, it against the rule, but tonight only for one exception.* Yes! You miss me?

Vicki: Ofcouse, dearly!

Ruby: As well as you miss Nicky?

Vicki: *shy* Why suddenly you have to mention him?

Ruby: Oh, just asking, dear! But people say first love can be the most beautiful love, but it is not the most lasting!

Vicki: *Pulled a pillow out, hugging it tightly in front of her, while trying to guess what Ruby was saying. Since the poor lady lots her life, she gained the ability to see future and past, but she also turned out to be this poetry lady, who only speak in literal difficult language!* What are you trying to say now! Nicky and me are going fine, we’re getting ready for our wedding!

Ruby: But you haven’t see him for two months!

Vicki: So? He had to come home to his parents!

Ruby: And you will meet some other person real soon!

Vicki: What? Who?

Ruby: *used her hand and covered her mouth* Oppps, sorry too much information already! *Leaned over and quickly kissed Vicki on the cheek* I have to go, now you take care and go to sleep! *In a wave of the fingers, Ruby’s image snapped out from mid air, leaving back a rush of wind blew in and then stopped*

Vicki: *Sat up from her bed, while placing her half-open book down on the bed urgently* Wait you haven’t tell me who I will meet! *But Ruby had gone only her trailing words were left*

Ruby: Secret can’t be review! But the time come you’ll know!

Vicki: *Stamped back on her bed* Ruby…That’s not fair…Ruby come back.. *Everything is silent, Vicki laid back on her bed, after a moment to relax herself she turned around to pick up the book only to find two business cards falling our from it. Curiously she picked up the first card and read* Ching Le Ying.!? *Another minute to herself, she firmed spoken out* But I’m a loyalty person!

(top)

She was a little lost!

Le Ying is on the phone again with his father.

Le Ying: No father, I won’t drop by the house again, I’m going on the break, no matter where I’ll go. *With that he hang up the phone and turned around to continue his conversation with the assistant Chan Peng who just returned with another bad news* You’re serious, that how she said it?

Chan Peng: Yes Shao Ye. She doesn’t seem to know who you are and doesn’t mind for money either, in fact I think she got a little scare.

Le Ying: Ummm *rubbing his finger on his chin, Le Ying swings around on his spinning chair to look at the opened view window at the busy city at night, he tries to think* Chan Peng, tomorrow, cancel my trip on the world cruise.

Chan Peng: *Puzzle* But shao ye, then where will you go on yours vacation.

Le Ying: I will have it right here, I will not leave Hong Kong until I get that girl to fall for me! *He said it with an evil grin, Chan Peng looks worried, his master is up to that unpredictable wooing girl’s stage again.*

===================================================

It was Saturday morning, the start of the weekend, Vicki and Maggie were already sitting on the roof, chatting about that sudden visit from their dead friend last night.

Maggie: Did you feel that Ruby was kind of suspicious this time, she kept half of the things to herself.

Vicki: *nodded* I felt like she got up to mysterious, and I hate that, only reveal the little part and keep the good part to herself!

Maggie: Exactly, she did that with me too, telling me something about my future will be shaken.

Vicki: Well, she didn’t say anything about my future, only warned me about my relationship with Nicky.

Annie: *Appeared from the stairway, walking up with Theresa* And yes, she is absolutely right there.

Vicki: Missy..!

Annie: I’m sorry, Vicki! But how can you trust a guy who can’t be open with you, never tell you what he does when he’s away, I find that kind of guy to be every dubious.

Vicki: It’s not that, is the way that she said it that…that…

Annie: That make you want to know more…

Maggie: So she does it to you too?

Annie: Oh, I don’t want to mention since it involved that Bimbo.

Vicki looked over to Maggie with a wink.

Theresa: Who are you guys talking about?

Suddenly the three others remembered of their newly arrived friend. They can’t really jumped in and tell her about their other friend from the other world. So the three dismissed everything that was discussing.

Maggie: Oh, we were talking about a psychic that works in Vicki’s office?

Vicki: *Whispered to Maggie* Is there really? *Then she got pull back by Annie*

Annie: Just accept it and nod. *Vicki looks to Theresa and nodded*

Theresa: Oh, really that’s so cool, hey do you think you can introduce that person to me one day, I want to see how my life would turn out since it’s been very rocky lately.

Vicki: *puzzle* Um…I’ll try… So you believe in those kind of stuff?

Theresa: As in psychic, future and past? Yes I do. Especially with fate and destiny, I believe each of us were born in a frame already.

Annie: What about ghost? *she got a slight punch in the rib from Vicki* Ouch.

Theresa: *A moment to think* Maybe?

Vicki: What do you mean by maybe? *She got the same punch from Maggie, and Annie giggles out of revenge* Ouch.

Theresa: Well, I think that is a possibility, but I haven’t see one yet, so it hasn’t been proven to me. What about you guys, have you ever see one? *She was making a joke, yet the other three got a little shock, and quickly replied*

Maggie: Noooooooooooooo..

Vicki: NO!

Annie: *followed the others* Nope! Okey dokey, why don’t we change the topic into something more realistic! Like what are we all doing today?

Maggie: Oh, Vicki I need your help, to fill me in more about what happen last night?

Annie: Wait, what happened last night!

Maggie: Ching Le Ying is wooing Vicki!

Theresa: *Surprise* That guy!

Vicki: *wondered* You know him too?

Theresa: Oh yes, my boss had been trying to book an appointment with him since he is in Hong Kong right now! A very intelligent businessman.

Annie: I heard about him as well, the richest guy in Taiwan or something like that, and he’s not even 30 yet!

Vicki: How come everybody all knows about him when I don’t.

Just as the ladies about to move on, Jimmy who was coming up from the stair suddenly interrupted in their space.

Jimmy: *As usually he got his hand up as a peace sign* Sorry ladies, didn’t want to do any harm, but my sister here have an important phone call.

Annie: Oh, who is it from ge?

Jimmy: who else’s could there be.

Maggie smiled, Theresa looked confused, so Vicki leaned over and whispered for her.

Vicki: It’s her work place, the boss whom she couldn’t lives without.

Annie: *Hit Vicki slightly, before she stood up and took the phone away from Jimmy and walked to the small corner near by*

Maggie: Hey Jimmy, it’s Saturday, you’re staying home?

Vicki: I bet on the net right?

Jimmy: *grinned a cheeky smile toward Vicki* Hey, I’m only searching.

Theresa: You meet people through the internet? *asking with surprise*

Jimmy: Yeah..*hesitant*

Theresa: Oh can you show me too! I been hearing about it a lot, but haven’t got any chance to try it out.

Jimmy: Oh..sure!

Annie: *walked back with a big frown on her face*

Vicki: Let me guess, oh no don’t need to, because I already know the answer. Weekend shift for you, Missy?

Annie: What’s new?

Maggie: From him directly?

Annie: I don’t think so, because he would be the opposite, like don’t come to work at all! *sighed* Anyway got to go now, see guys…

Theresa and Jimmy: *at the same time* Bye!…

Vicki: Bye, Missy! Good luck.

Maggie: See ya! *Pulled Vicki to stand up* Come one you better start filling me in!

Vicki: Oh okey! *Got up with Maggie and the two turned over to Jimmy and Theresa* See ya guys!

Maggie: Yeh, Jimmy why don’t you show her how to get into playing relationship on the net, like the tons that you made. *giggles*

Jimmy: Thanks for the promotion.

Maggie: No problem, bye guys!

Maggie and Vicki rushed together downstairs, leaving Jimmy and Theresa left alone.

Theresa: If you’re not free now, don’t worry.

Jimmy: No don’t worry, come on down the house and I’ll show you!

Theresa: Thanks! *And the two walked down together as well*

==================================================

Chan Peng returned to the hotel, reporting the latest news to his boss.

Chan Peng: Shao Ye! I found a very reliable spy already.

Le Ying: *Was sitting on the sofa, playing with his massage’s girl* Good! You can go now, darl! *Stood up from the chair, he played a big note along the girl’s cheek, and then placed it down in her hand, telling her to go out the room*

The girl smiled and received the cash, bushing her seductive body in front of him for the last time and then warily walked out of the room, not forgetting to give the assistant a little wink. Chan Peng shivered as he quickly stepped away from the wicked chick, then come walking behind Le Ying.

Le Ying: Listen, carefully! Here is what I want to get! I want to know everything about that girl, start off with her name, her family, her work. Then eventually what she wants to do, what she likes, what is her dream?…Etc..

Chan Peng: Huh? *widened his eyes in confused*

Le Ying: Don’t give me that impossible face! I want everything to be complete ASAP. And don’t fail me this time!

Chan Peng: But shao ye, why would you need to know all of that for?

Le Ying: *Putting his hands together behind his back, turning around to the assistant with his unpredictable grin* I will have my way to grab that girl neatly within one single palm of my hand.

Chan Peng left with confusion written all over his place.

=============================================

At the computer table outside the main room, Theresa and Jimmy were sitting together in front of the machine.

Jimmy: See you just click on here and fill in your information. Then waited for a few hours, I guaranteed you will get atleast one reply in your email. Or if you want to chat, that even easier, just click in the room, chose a nick which you find attractive, click on it and the way you go!

Theresa: *watching at the computer and then to Jimmy* You sound like a professional with these! *smiled*

Jimmy: *rubbing his forehead* No, you just catch up with it!

Theresa: So you meet a lot of girls on the net?

Jimmy: *beamed shyly* A few!

Theresa: Have you ever meet them outside.

Jimmy: *shook his head* No, most of them are about a pacific away from me!

Theresa: Uh! Are you looking for someone closer to take the relationship further.

Jimmy: *Suddenly became quite, he looked down and tried to smile away from the problem* I…I’m not suit with that kind of relationship!

Theresa: *Confused, she wants to ask more, but feeling as if she was invading in his personal life, so she quickly turned back to the machine, to lessen the serious feeling around them* So where do I go again!

Jimmy: Just here, and type in your email address.

Theresa: But I don’t have an email address! I never have a machine before, only at work!

Jimmy: Oh, then you’re really behind with technology!

Theresa: *Suddenly it was her turn to feels sad* We were saving for a house and a wedding, until I found him covering with my friend.

Jimmy: I’m so sorry.

Theresa: *Smiled* Oh, don’t worry, I already move on from it. If you keep hanging on to the bad things that happened in your life, then you will never live in peace and move on with life.

Jimmy: *Nodded* Yes, You’re right. I have to move on from the bad things! *muttered to himself*

Theresa: Pardon!

Jimmy: Oh, nothing I was just thinking out aloud.

Then the two start moving on with the surfing time to bypass their daybreak.

===============================================

At Frankie’s house, in the living, Annie was sitting on the same sofa with Mrs Lam, while Frankie sitting down grumpily in the opposite, staring at the two ladies.

Mrs Lam: So Annie, can you come with Frankie on that filming trip.

Annie: *Widened her eyes* Me? Coming with him for two weeks? *She glanced over to Frankie, who had on the most irritating expression ever, his mother properly told him first and he had no way to refuse*

Mrs Lam: Frankie’s new film will start filming at an outside location. But I can’t travel that long and leave the shop to no one. So only you that I trust whom could look after him well.

Frankie: Mother, that is so not true! *He had to speak up, when noticing Annie with her sharp glance flying to his sight*

Mrs Lam: *Looked over her son* What do you know! I said Annie is capable, that means she will be fine! *Turning over to Annie with her pleasing smile*

Frankie: Mother! You make her come with me, whose know she will try to murder me for revenge!

Annie: *Strongly gaze pasted him, she gave him a problem smile, and then kindly turned back to Mrs Lam* Don’t worry I will come, and I promise to look after your son as perfect as ever! *Glanced over his side with a winning beam*

Frankie: You!…*He wants to say more, when noticing his mother strong look, eyeing over to stop him*

Mrs Lam: *laughed with satisfaction* Good, good, so let me go and organise the hotel booking right now! *She stood up and walk away, leaving the two enemies alone, battling with their evil looks to each other*

Frankie: You just so greedy, and couldn’t stay away from me, could you?

Annie: Actually, it’s because of you!

Frankie: Nonsense, why must it be me!

Annie: Without yours doubting words before, I would have reject the offer. But now I decided to show you my best controlling power over such a big Bimbo like you!

Frankie: YOU! I swear I’m going to get a heart attack one-day because of you!

Annie: OH MY GOSH! I’m so honour!

Frankie: YOU!

Annie hissed at him with a shifty smile and then stand up walking in the reading room where Mrs Lam was still making her phone call. Frankie was left alone in yet another losing stage, he dropped deeper on the sofa, thumbing his fist on to the soft leather, cursing after her moving shadow.

At Le Ying's hotel room, where Chan Peng just walked in with a case of overhead negative films. The whole living room area then turned in darkness, with Chan Peng standing behind the slideshow machine, and Le Ying resting on the massage seat, hand rubbing his chin, watching attractively at every image being show on the silde.

Chan Peng: *Switched the picture* Her name is Vicki Chiu, currently studying part-time in Directing class. Working part-time in the main Post Office. *Switched on another picture* She is a adopted child. Her current parent brought her to their family since she was just a toddler, having no children of their own, the couple loved her as their blood daughter. *Switch to another picture* She's living in this main building block, on the second top level. *Switch to another picture* Her hobbies are walking, music, and acting. *Switched to another pictures* She has to best friends, Annie Man and Maggie Cheung, whom also are her neighbours. *Switched to another pictures* Her goal is to be a successful Female Director in the Commercial Industry. That's the end! *Chan Peng, turned on the lights and turned of the overhead machine, while Le Ying was still sitting motionlessly at his seat*

Le Ying: *After a long paused, he finally stirred to looked up a Chan Peng* Chan Peng, make some contact with the Main Post Office where she is working, I want to see the manager!

Chan Peng: *Confused* But what's for sir?

Le Ying: *Turned grumpy* Oh, just do it will you, no more question!

Chan Peng: *Looked down* Yes Shao Ye! *He gathered all the stuffs and then walked out of the room, leaving Le Ying to stay back alone.*

Le Ying: *Turned his seat around so he could be facing with the wall glass window, viewing at the night city's lights, while his mind was traveling in a different dimension* Vicki Chiu, Vicki...I will have you sooner or later, otherwise, I will not be Ching Le Ying!..

====================================

The girls are gathering in Annie's room, while she is busily packing her bag for the early trip tomorrow.

Vicki: *Sitting on the bed-head, playing with one of Annie's soft toy* I can't believe you're going on a trip with him!

Annie: Hey, this is business, stop making it sounds so personal! *Pushing Vicki to one side so she can collect all her stuffs to put in the suitcase*

Maggie: Well, have you think of the consequences to this yet?

Theresa: *Sitting at the dressing table, finally stood up, walked over the bed to join with the girls* You and that actor really hate each other that much?

Vicki & Maggie quickly looked up giving to Theresa a "no-no" shook.

Annie: *Strongly closed her suitcase and turned to Theresa* We are like third time pasted life enemies, so imagine how should we feel toward each other!

Theresa: *Was still looking puzzle, she is about to ask more, but got pulled down by Vicki, whom keep shaking her head, telling her not to do it*

Maggie: *Quickly changed the subject to ease out the tension* So Missy, where are you really going to?

Annie: *Pulled down her suitcase to the floor, with the help from Vicki and Theresa, then she comes back to seat on the bed and frowns* Tin-Shing. A very old town. They're doing a 30-40s series, so the producer chosen a very traditional typical town to film in.

Vicki: Gosh! Sound uncomfortable already! Old town, wonder if they have enough facilities to use.

Annie: Beat me! God knows. I just wish they do have a flush toilet! And a microwave. With television, and telephone line.

Maggie, Vicki and Theresa, kept switching their funny look to each other, then turned back to the subject.

Theresa: So how long will you be there for?

Annie: 3 weeks, I hope, if everything going under schedule!

Vicki: Cheez! 3 weeks spending with the enemy, requires lots of patient.

Annie: *Pushed Vicki down again* Would you excuse me! I try not to think about it, thank you very much.

Maggie: But it not very far away! *Maggie was about to continue when Annie glance to her a sharp look she quickly stop* Okey...just hope you'll have a nice trip.

Annie: *Smiled crankily* Thanks! But while I'm gone, you three have to take care okey, Don't miss me too much.

Theresa: Don't worry, we won't! *Quickly leaned over behind Vicki for protection, as Annie was about to grab at her*

Annie: When I come home, I want everything to be the same ok!

Maggie: Yes, mama *Playfully throwing a pillow at Annie. Seeing the good mood, Theresa and Vicki soon joined in. So Annie was attacked with her own soft toys, teddy bears and pillows, falling continuously on her bed, while the other three jumping with joy*

=========================================

5am, the next morning, with lots of effort put in, Annie managed to drag her sleepy self to come to the Lam's resident on time. She is not a morning person, so waking up before the sun shown its rays was something she doesn't do very often. Mrs Lam on wanting to make sure that her son will have a long comfortable trip, instead of going with the filming troop. She had organized or their family driver to take him, Annie, and another helper in their family's car. 

Mrs Lam: Annie, let Fu Jing (Frankie's helper) sit in the front you can come to the back with Frankie?

Annie: What? *And now she's fully awake*

Frankie: Mother! *Grumpily turned over to his mum, but the objections failed, Mrs Lam waved her hand of dismissal then kept pushing Frankie and Annie into the back seat, despite their unwilling gestures*

Mrs Lam: Come on you two, get in or otherwise you'll be late!

Annie and Frankie crankily get in the back seat of the car, once the trip started to move, they quickly separated from each other by compressing themselves in two different sides. Yet the whole time, they did not forget to pass over each other a few hissing glance once in awhile.

Annie: I'm going to get some sleep. But Frankie Lam, I'm warning you, not to do anything stupid! *Strong pointed her finger up to be direct with him*

Frankie: Excuse me, even if you try to beg me for it, I will not dirty my hands like that! *No lesser stubborn*

Annie: YOU!! *She strongly tried to push down her anger, darting to him a sharp glance, before turning herself over to the window side, resting one arm under her head and try to catch back on some of that important missing sleep*

Frankie didn't bother to look at her or fight with her any longer. He too was refer for more peaceful time. Turning his head to face with other outside view. With his arms neatly crossed in the front. He laid his head at the back for comfort then closed his eyes to the never-land.

========================================

Maggie stopped her car at the front gate of the Post Office Warehouse, to let Vicki down, starting another working day.

Vicki: *Got out of the car, but still turned around to Maggie* Thanks Maggie, can you come and pick me up today?

Maggie: Sure, Four sharp, ok!

Vicki: Okey! Thanks, Bye... * Closed the car's door and walked quickly toward the warehouse.

Maggie slowly put down her hand brake and started moving her car out of the parking slot. On the way out, she met with Louis, who was also coming to work. They looked passed each other with a reluctant beam and turned back to their own direction.

Maggie: *Glancing at Louis's image from her via mirror, and frowned aloud* Maggie, dream on, he will never suit with you! *When the road was finally empty, she hurriedly drove off*

-----------------------------------------------------------

It was stock-take day, so as usual, Vicki received the counting task. With a paper board on one hand and a good pencil on the other, she carefully went thought every stock items that left over in the warehouse.

Vicki: Parcel Box size A , one, two, three! *She was counting and stepping backward, while unaware to her, another person was walking by behind her, so accidentally her back bumped to his side* Opps, sorry! *Shockingly turned over to the person she just hit*

The young man: Oh, Don't worry it's not your fault! *He replied with honestly, while eyes widened in satisfaction, finally he had the chance to look at her beauty more clearer, and then he knows everything had been worth it*

Vicki: *Now she begin to notice the strange looking person, in a place that she knows so well* I'm sorry are you new here? 

But before the new man can introduced himself, the two were disturbed by a call from a distance.

Mr Fong (The Post Office's manager): Ah, Vicki, let's me introduce, this is our new warehouse's man. Alec..!

Vicki: *Looked to Alec with a welcoming smile, as she put her hand out, inviting for a friendly hand-shake* Alec..nice to meet you. I'm Vicki Chiu!

Alec: *Politely took the shake from her hand* Me too, I'm Alec.. Alec Su...

Hiding behind the vertical blinds in the manager room, Chan Peng watched carefully of what was going on outside.

---------------------------------------------------------------

*Flash back* Late evening the day before.

Mr Fong found himself sitting at the negotiation table in his office, opposite with the famous millionaire Ching Le Ying and his secretary Chan Peng.

Mr Fong: This may sound silly Mr Ching, but why do you want to take over my Post Office here? *Hesitantly placed the question*

Chan Peng: That is not yours specialty to worry, you only need to know that we're willing to pay a good price for this tiny space here, so are you going to take the offer or not!

Mr Fong: *Hurriedly cut in* Take.. Of course I'll take the offer. I don't want to disappoint Mr Ching. So you can have it all.

Le Ying: *Finally speak up* Don't be so rush. Even if after I brought the company off you, but I want nothing to be change, you will still be manager!

Mr Fong: Really sir?

Le Ying: Ching Le Ying don't lie! *Turned to Chan Peng* Try to explain everything for him to understand, will you. Don't let him mess up anything or else. *Turned a sharp warning look to Mr Fong who quickly soften, then Le Ying turned back to Chan Peng* And you now have to find for me a name. I want it short, easy to remember and stands above the alphabet! And importantly the name have to suit with a full-time warehouse clearance person. 

Mr Fong: *muttered out in shock* "Warehouse clearance person" *Then he was hit with a warning look from Chan Peng, telling him to stay low for now*

Chan Peng: *After a quickly browse, he walked to Le Ying and politely reviewed* Shao ye, how about Alec..Alec Su. *End Flash Back*

================================================

At Maggie's Magazine station. She had been finishing up her new piece of report all morning. And now when happily picked up the hard copy from the printer, she smiled proudly to herself and then walked straight to the Manager's Office.

Maggie: Mr Kuan, Here is my latest work for tomorrow. *Showing the papers to his desk*

Mr Kuan: *Slowly grab on the paper, he pulled down in front of his eyes and quickly gives it a glance, but it immediately caught his attention with the fresh topic* Um, interesting, good work, Maggie. Where did you go to get news like this.

Maggie: *Smiling with pride* Oh, because I'm a good person, so good things just dropped down in front of me!

Mr Kuan: Very good, let's hope lucky things like that will keep dropping down, okey! I have faith in you!

Maggie: Thank you! *Then she exited the room ,feeling as proud as ever*

On the way walking back to her desk, she couldn't stop grinning to herself.

Maggie: Maggie Cheung ah Maggie Cheung, why are you so clever like this! *Just as the reached to her table, then her phone line began to ring, Maggie quickly dashed over to pick up the phone* Hallo! Maggie speaking. *A familiar voice from the other line replied, bringing astonishment to Maggie's ponder* Hello, stranger, how have you been, long time no see!

=======================================

Vicki is finishing off with her counting, since it's almost end of the daywork. She has to move some boxes back to its place, but when she is about to bend down, a new helping hand suddenly arrived first.

Alec: Let's me help you! *He offered, while playing out another killer grin.*

Vicki: *A little surprised* Thanks! *She stood still with appreciation watching Alec kindly took away the big boxes for her. Gradually she turned back to the entrance way, at the same time seeing Louis walking in with the little Sally, who just finished day school* Hi Sally! *The little non-speak able Sally happily smiled as she let goes of Louis's hand to run over Vicki's side for a hug* 

Alec: *Smiling to himself pleadingly for what he's doing, then he decided to turn back and have a sneak glance at Vicki, but his widened eyes quickly shattered looking at the girl on his plate was playing so intimated with another man and even a little girl. Distractingly he made a sharp turn into the Manager room, with all the boxes still carrying in his hands.

Vicki: *Pick up Sally* How is my little angel? *Sally put out a long trends of sign which confused Vicki, she had to turn over to Louis for help.

Louis: She said, we saw your friend the other day, at shopping. *Translated*

Vicki: Oh, I heard about that, Maggie was it? *Asking to Sally, the little nodded clearly* And was she nice to you? *Sally nodded again, showing out a few more signs*

Louis: *A little hesitated* She said she likes her!

Vicki: Oh! Well, why don't you hang around here a while, she should be coming to pick me up very soon.

Sally was happy with the announcement, but Louis turned puzzle and quickly defer it.

Louis: I finished now, we have to go, cause the bus is waiting! *He picked up Sally from Vicki's arms then father and daughter quickly wave good-bye and then left*

----------------------------------------------------------

The moment Le Ying (Alec) kicked the manager's door closed, he strongly slammed all the boxes down on the floor and angrily called out.

Le Ying: CHAN PENG! Come here! *By the call, Chan Peng, who has been standing at the desk quickly rushed over with concerns as the former manager Mr Fong also walked in* You said she is still single, so why the hell is she playing so close with the dark man out there, not to mention with a child as well! *Violently shouted out toward his shaking secretary.*

Chan Peng was still drowning in bafflement, but luckily Mr Fong quickly walked over to the widow, he pushed down the horizontal blinds to have a sneak at what's happening outside, after recognizing it was only Louis and his daughter, he sighed and turned back inside.

Mr Fong: Mr Ching, don't be mad, you misunderstand, that dark guy is Louis, he also works in here, only a friend to Vicki, because he's very chicken in front of female. That's little girl, Sally is his daughter from a broken marriage. She has been suffering from a speaking disorder in a very young age, so Vicki is specially caring for that child.

Le Ying: *finally dropped down his crawls* Oh?

-------------------------------------------------------

Vicki walked out with Louis and Sally to the entrance door, when the father and daughter quickly walked off, she was about to turn back inside then a familiar vehicle suddenly drove pasted her and stopped inside the parking slot. She stood still, watching in doubts and patient until the driver stepped out from the car, then ran straight to her. 

Vicki: Nicki! *She called out surprisingly, but not forgetting to run back to him, the two newly united couple quickly emerge for that longing hug!

------------------------------------------------------

Chan Peng blow out a big relief when hearing the explanation from Mr Fong, which came in time to safe his life from another harsh punishment. Le Ying was also respite, but still hanging on a little doubt so he decided to walk to the window and have a little observation for himself. Unfortunately the moment he lifted up the blinds was when he saw the image of his ideal lady running straight into the opened arm of another new arrival man.

Le Ying: *Crunching his teeth, steaming up with envy* Is she always that close to her friends, or is there another explanation!

Seeing the changing mood again in the temperate prince, Chan Peng and Mr Fong quickly rushed themselves to the window for a clearer view.

Mr Fong: Uh-oh...! *His shaking tone brought Le Ying and Chan Peng to turn their enquires look direct to him, Mr Fong found himself puffing hard for some air as he slowly turned his rabbit eyes to report with Le Ying* That's is Vicki's fiancé, Nicki! He is been away and just came back.

(top)

Vicki: Why didn't you tell me that you've came back?

Nicki: *Rounding his arm around her waistline* Because I want you to be surprise!

Vicki: Then how did you know that I worked today?

Nicki: Oh! That, I have to say thanks to your dear friend, my perfect insider.

Vicki: *Sheepishly looked away* Um, that's traitor Maggie, I'll fix her!

Nicki: Oh, come on, honey, don't be so harsh on her, she's just being nice, otherwise I can not see the shocking expression on your face just like before! *He laughed while snuggled her closer for a quick kiss on her hair*

Vicki: Um, cheeky boy! *She giggles, while trying to fight against his force, the couple just kept walking in un-notice at an outsider had been watching their every move in jealousy. Until when they finally looked up to the front, was when they hesitantly stopped, seeing Alec was walking pasted, and they almost bumped into him* Opps! Sorry Alec!

Alec: *Trying to act as if nothing was wrong* Oh don't worry, Vicki! *Then his eyes set heavily on Nicki's sight, as Vicki quickly jumped in the introduction*

Vicki: Oh! Alec, this is my boyfriend, Nicki. And Nick. This is my new work-mate, Alec.

Nicki: *Put out a hand shake* Nice to meet you Alec.

Alec: *Pushed for a smile* Nice to meet you too!

Nicki: *Turned back to Vicki* Come on hon, we better get going!

Vicki: *Suddenly remembered that she had finished, quickly turned her good-bye to Alec* Oh, See ya Alec! We have to go! 

Then the couple waved their hands and walked off. They moment they turned their back to him, Le Ying's face immediately darkened as his disturbingly watched on behind their embracing backs. Chan Peng softly walked out to stand behind him.

Le Ying: *Looking to the back at his secretary* Peng, I want you to get every details about that boyfriend for me, the sooner the better, so I can finish him off quick. No one had ever gone past me before, and he will not be an exception.

Chan Peng: *Like usual, only could nod* Yes shao ye.

==============================================

After the whole day of traveling Annie and Frankie finally reached to the destination place. The filming troupe had been there days before them to look for the appropriate filming spots. As pre-arranged, Frankie, Annie and the helper will stay back with the filming staff, while the driver will take the car back home, after three weeks, he will come back to pick them up.

It was almost night time, when Frankie and Annie were leaded to their trailer. 

The administrator: Frankie, you will be in here! *He showed Frankie to the small caravan*

Frankie: *Gave a quick glance in dislike* My God you can't get anything smaller than this!

The administrator: Sorry, but that's the best we can do, atleast you have a roof, some of us have to sleep in tents.

Annie: *Glancing sharply to Frankie* This is good enough, don't complain too much un least you refer the tent better. 

Frankie: *Quickly played back* Hey, who are you in here to talk with me like that!

Annie: I'm nobody, but good enough to fix you, is that okey! *Frankie was about to jump in at her, when Annie promptly moved away, while putting out her mobile phone* Hey Bimbo boy, don't do anything silly, or I can call your mother anytime, remember!

Frankie: You!..*His fingers were trembling in anger, but couldn't do anything else, when remembered that his mother had once again gave the full permission to the little irritating pin. So changing the pace, he moved away to his caravan.*

Annie: *Hissed her nose in the air as victory, seeing Frankie had given up and moved away, she nicely turned back to the administrator, who been staying quite in one place, not wanting to get pull in the verbal fight* Hey, then where will I be staying?

The administrator: Oh, your trailer is the one next to his!

Annie: Cool! I have a trailer as well!

Frankie: *Was walking toward his caravan, put when over hearing that Annie will stay next to him, he quickly turned back* How come she gets a trailer as well?

Annie: *Bit her lips, looking at him in those annoying sight* None of your business.

Frankie: Oh, when you're staying next to me, that is my business.

Annie: Hey do you think I want that! Please, I just wish that inside there is a permanent wall blocking your side away.

Frankie: You!! *Stepping in closer, as Annie did the same*

The administrator: *Seeing the never stop fight between the two, she had to jump in this time to cut short the night* Frankie, your mother had specifically paid for Annie's trailer and asked for it to be put next to yours. So I can't change it!

Annie: Listened yet, Bimbo! Want to complaint, talk to yours mother! *She picked up her suitcase* Now would you excuse me, I can't be wasting my time with you anymore! I got to go and un-pack! *Shot to him a winning pace, then she strongly turned her way pulling her suitcase behind to her caravan*

Frankie: *Eyes were still watching at her in madness, before he also cut short his turn and move in his place*

The administrator was left standing in tiredness, shaking her head she signed and walk away.

=================================

By late evening Frankie finally got out and was walking back to his trailer but, when seeing the infuriating Annie was pacing side from side in front of his trailer. He decided to make an escape and started to turn away toward to exit path of the filming crew. 

He kept moving on the long stroll away from the familiar filming sight. But his step was not fast enough, Annie had spotted his running away figure, and without waiting around she quickly followed behind. At first she planned to stay quite so she can find out where had he been, but Frankie didn't come back to the old place, instead he decided to take a nice walk away from the filming ground, and unexpectedly pulling Annie in behind.

Looking around at the strange surrounding, Annie began to feel the uncertainty, staying patient no more. She stepped out strongly in the middle of the pathway, calling out his name.

Annie: Frankie! Where are you going?

Frankie: *Turned around in disbelieve looking at Annie* You? How can you?..You..

Annie: Cut it out! Where have you been all evening! Not doing something useful I'm sure.

Frankie: What I do, where I go is none of your business! *With that he turned back to the path and started running in to the forest side, hoping to loose Annie*

Annie: *But she was not willing to give up, and as quickly as she can managed, Annie chased on behind* Stop right now! You big Bimbo! *Unnoticeable the more they kept running the further distance they became from the filming ground, until they reached to a bushing cliff side, when Frankie finally slow down for some rest*

Frankie: My God! Why are you just like a ghost that keeps following me around everywhere! *He frowned while leading over a nearby tree to catch up his breaths*

Annie: *Not much better behind, she clumsily pushed herself forward, but when reaching a couple meters away from Frankie, she had to pause back near a tree, and gasped out within her short breaths* Frank...Frankie...Lam! I'm warning you, if you've done anything silly...I..

Frankie: You'll what! Remember that you work for me, just like a servant, no less okey!

Annie: *Like being insulted by a cold bucket of water, she rushed on her step closer to his side* What did you call me?

Frankie: *Willing to fight* A servant, do you hear me, you're like a servant no less!

Annie: You! *Within her anger, Annie reached out her arm, planning to hit Frankie, but unfortunately she slipped, missed him as she struggle to hold on her balance swinging beside the cliff side.* Ah...Ah....

Frankie when seeing Annie was in seriously problem, he could rushed to her side hoping to give her a hand, but instead, when he grabbed on one of Annie's arm, pushing the force and both of the went tumbling down the high cliff together. The surrounding was dark and quiet, no one in the filming trope had realized that Frankie and Annie were in some very dangerously problem.

=======================================

Annie's House.

The family of three, that were Nanna, Jimmy and Theresa just finish her breakfast, while Nanna quickly went inside the bathroom to wash up, Jimmy was giving Theresa a hand in cleaning up the dishes, until Nanna walked out to join them.

Nanna: Now! I'm not going to be home for dinner tonight, are you kids alright by yourself?

Jimmy: *Glanced over to Theresa with a funny look, thinking his grandmother had under estimated his ability* Yes, Nanna, you go and have fun okey! But are you sure, you don't need me to pick you up tonight.

Nanna: No need dear! Mrs Sun's son will drop me home. *Turning over to Theresa who been standing quietly at the sink rising the dishes* Theresa, dear, let me finish this off for you, you can get change for work!

Theresa: Are you sure, Nanna?

Nanna: Yes, dear, go...or you'll be late, Jimmy won't wait.

Theresa: *Looked over to Jimmy and smiled, then she place the towel on her hand to Nanna and quickly walked in her room*

Just after Theresa left, Nanna came closer and give Jimmy a slight punch to Jimmy side, making him turning around in a little surprised.

Nanna: Jimmy dear, she's nice!

Jimmy: *Confused* Who's nice Nanna?

Nanna: Theresa..

Jimmy: *Finally gets it* Oh no, Nanna, you're not playing the matching trick again.

Nanna: But's she's a lovely girl...

Jimmy: *Strongly cut in, but he didn't raise his voice, scaring that Theresa will over heard them* No but Nanna! Please I can handle things myself, if you keep pushing, you'll scare her.

Nanna: Ah..So that's mean you likes her?

Jimmy: No! Nanna, I likes no one okey!

Jimmy was struggling with difficulty to fight back with his picky grandmother, thankfully Theresa came out at the right time to put a hold on the boiling subject.

Theresa: What's are you two whispering about?

Jimmy: *Quickly looked up* Nothing! *And before letting his Nanna move on with the matching trick, Jimmy rushed over to grab his folder and quickly pushed Theresa for the door* Are you ready we must go now, hurry.

Nanna watched on behind them with a blooming smile glowing on her face, as if she already see the picture of the two of them in the future.

=======================================

At the similar time in the Five Star Hotel, Le Ying was concentrating on his Play Station 2 game, while enjoy picking on his morning breakfast when Chan Peng pushed in with loads of newly found information on Nicky.

Le Ying hesitantly dropped out from everything else to read all the papers, after a quick look at some of the photos. He grinned to himself, and patted Chan Peng on the back.

Le Ying: *Hands cradling the pictures* Good job Peng! *Humbling to himself* I knew that Nicky is not a good sign at the start. This time even God is on my side. I will have Vicki fallen for me in no time. *He then stood up, calling Chan Peng to follow behind* Come on Peng, I have to get ready for work, and you known what to do with these right? *Showing the pictures over to Chan Peng, while he continue to approach the bathroom*

Chan Peng: *Also in big smile of satisfaction, he hasn't receive any compliment like that in such a long time* Off course Shao ye, I will fix everything for you!

=====================================

Maggie is dropping Vicki off at the Post Office.

Maggie: *Turning over and grab back Vicki's arm before she was about to get out of the car* Hey, do you need me to pick you up later?

Vicki: No, thanks, Nicki will come!

Maggie: Oh, so now you don't need me any more, hah!

Vicki: *Playfully pushed Maggie's face back to the other side* Stop picking on me, or I'll take revenge later!

Maggie: *Maggie smiled, just then she remembered something, leading to the back of her car, she grabbed out a Magazine and passed to Vicki* Oh, here I almost forgot, there you enjoy reading.

Vicki: *Hold on the Magazine and quickly looked at the heading, it was the weekly issue from Maggie's Station, and this week, Maggie's story on the millionaire Ching Le Ying, wooing an ordinary Hong Kong girl (Vicki) is on the front cover* Oh, so this is what's all the fuss about!

Maggie: Hey, I earned alot of credit for that!

Vicki: And thanks to who?

Maggie: I known, that's why I'm giving it free to you, as a thank you gift.

Vicki: Hey to thanks me, this is not enough!

Maggie: Okey, Okey! I'll pay you dinner, now get out, or you'll late to work.

Vicki: *smile* Thank you! See you at home, I'll give my review later, okey? *Vicki then pulled back her bag on her shoulder, while the other hand grabbing on the Magazine and then walked out of Maggie's car heading for the Post Office*

=======================================

During the lunch break, Nicki quickly left his shop and went home for a quick rest. But as he exit from the elevator, walking toward his front door. His eyes suddenly widened in shock, looking at the familiar female figure, seating in front of his main door.

Nicki: *Kneeling down and softly touched on the lady's shoulder* Ada..

Ada: *Suddenly awoke, as she turned her naive face to look up at Nicki, finally she broke into a big smile and quickly stood up to hug him* Nicki, Oh thank God, I finally found you! 

Nicki returned the hug, while his eyes looking round in frustration and fury.    

=======================================

Vicki is in the tea room, while speaking with Nicki on her mobile.

Vicki: It's okey, if you can't pick me up. Deal with your business first. May be we'll have dinner tomorrow night, okey!

Nicki: *Answering from the other line* Okey, I'll pick you up tomorrow!

Vicki: Okey, Bye, honey! *She turned off her phone, with a little smile spreading, and quickly turn back her attention to the opening magazine on the table. She was half way through the article when Nicki's phone interrupted. But now not so long after, Vicki was interrupted again, by Alec, walking in, sitting opposite with her*

Alec: Hi! *He smiled*

Vicki: *Looked up* Hi! How are you!

Alec: Every good thanks. *He was looking around for a conversation, and then saw the magazine that's she was reading.* What are you reading?

Vicki: Oh! *She showed the article that she was reading toward Alec* Have you read this!

Alec: *Leaded over with excitement until the title of the article hit on his face, 'Taiwan's millionaire prince playing the wooing game with an ordinary Hong Kong girl, how far can his game goes?' with no permission, Le Ying quickly pulled on the paper toward his side, Vicki looking up with a little shock* That...that....*He suddenly looked up to Vicki with an anger sight, releasing she was the one selling his story*

Vicki was taking by big surprise with his sudden changing expression. But before she could ask anything, Alec already stood up and walk away, while grabbing on the magazine with him. Leaving Vicki sitting back in ponder. Alec's impression of a kind & soft gentleman had suddenly vanish into a totally different person.
