Kevin and Ron were sitting on the lounge in the living room discussing some matters of the hotel. Moses who was also sitting on the lounge was holding onto a folder, which was held up to his face.
Ron was one of the general managers of Grand hotel along with Frankie, “Kev, I’ve discussed with some tourist companies in agreeing that they will bring their customers to stay at our hotel. This is the proposal for the package deals,” Ron handed a folder to Kevin.
Although Kevin was much more academically intelligent than Ron, his family had been assisting the Cheuk family ever since the Qing dynasty, thus Kevin followed the family trait to help them. With his hard work he had earned the position of Assistant General Manager. Kevin took the folder off Ron and browsed through it, “I think its very well done. What do you think Moses?”
Kevin and Ron didn’t hear a response from Moses, “Moses? What do you think?” Kevin asked again.
Kevin and Ron looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Ron moved closer to Moses and removed the folder from his hand that was covering his face to see that Moses had actually fallen asleep.
Ron shook his head and sighed. Moses phone suddenly rang and he jumped up immediately picking the phone up, “Hello.”
Raymond was on the other side of the phone, “Moses, where are you?”
“Home…” Moses yawned loudly.
“Come out now,” Raymond said.
Moses jumped on his feet, “OK, meet at our usually place,” Moses hung up the phone and put on a jacket, “Everything sounds great. Ron, just make all the decisions that you think are right,” and he left the mansion.

*On the street, 9:21pm*
Charmaine and Hsuan Huan had been wondering the streets for a long time. The modern world was so unfamiliar to Hsuan Huan but she still had no idea that she had travelled to the present time. Although the surroundings were similar to the year 2036 but there were still major differences. Charmaine knew something wasn’t right, but time travelling was something that never crossed her mind.
Hsuan Huan stopped walking, “Young Lady, the amount of walking I’ve done today is more than I do in a year. I demand you to stop or when I find Cheuk Hei I will tell him to lock you up.”
Charmaine stopped walking and turned around. She looked at her watch, it was getting late and they had no where to stay. She browsed around the street and suddenly saw a man shouting at a female. Charmaine, who had always been nosy, walked up to see what was happening.
“Where are you going?” Hsuan Huan shouted as she walked after her.
Charmaine walked closer and saw Raymond pointing his finger shouting at someone.
“What is this?” Raymond pointed at his shirt covered with coffee, “Is there something wrong with you? Do you not have eyes or something, if you can’t see properly then maybe you should get glasses.”
“I’m… sorry…” the female said quietly with her head down.
Raymond leaned closer to hear what she was saying, “Speak up! Or are you a mute too?”
“Sorry… I’ll pay you back for the dry cleaning,” the female said a little louder.
Raymond laughed a little, “First of all, I only wear clothes once then throw them out and second, I highly doubt that even your yearly salary will be able to pay off the dry cleaning.” Raymond looked up and could see the female almost in tears, “Don’t tell me your going to cry…”
Charmaine really couldn’t stand Raymond’s attitude and his shouting, she stepped forward in front of the female and stood directly in front of Raymond with her face an inch away from his.
Raymond had a smirk on his facing seeing Charmaine, “It’s you again… Why is it that everywhere I go I see you? Are you following me? You homeless people always lurking around us rich people.”
Charmaine seriously hated Raymond constantly calling her homeless, “What's your problem?”
“What’s my problem? What’s your problem?” Raymond crossed his arm and had a snobby look to his face, “Are you trying to scam more money off me like you did with the car? I know that you and this chick are just putting on an act to get my money,” Raymond took out his wallet, “If you really want it then have it…”
What Raymond was saying was degrading Charmiane’s pride and dignity; her anger was steaming out of her. She didn’t say anything and kicked Raymond in the shin and grabbed the females hand and walked in the opposite direction with Hsuan Huan following quickly behind her.
Raymond bent down holding onto his shin trying to stop the stinging from the kick, he looked up and saw Charmaine walking away. He had never been treated this way before, “If I ever see you again you will have hell to pay.”
Moses had just arrived and saw Raymond on the ground, “What are you doing?”
Raymond rolled up his jeans and rubbed his shin, “Some chick kicked me.”
Moses burst out laughing, “Get up… you look like a fool.”
Raymond tried to stand up but his leg was still hurting, Moses gave Raymond a hand and pulled him up. Raymond limped towards his car while Moses kept on laughing at him.
“First time I’ve ever seen you in such pain.”
“I swear, if I ever see that chick again. I will get my revenge,” Raymond gritted his teeth trying to walk properly.
“Are you going to kick her in the shin?” Moses asked trying not to laugh at Raymond limping.
“You’ll see…” Raymond smiled to himself as he thought what he wanted to do was quite productive in his own thoughts.
Meanwhile, Charmaine was still holding onto the females hand walking up the street with Hsuan Huan chasing after her.
“Young lady, stop walking,” she demanded almost out of breath.
Charmaine stopped walking and turned around. She finally saw who she was holding onto and sticking up for, “Aunty Myolie?”
Myolie looked around, she had no idea how she knew her name, “Um… I don’t know who you are and I think I’m a bit young to be your aunty.”
Charmaine took a closer look at Myolie. She looked exactly the same but a lot younger than aunty Myolie she knew. Hsuan Huan looked at Charmaine to see what she was staring at.
Everything that was happening had lead Charmaine to believe that she was either dreaming or something weird happen and that she been shifted to another dimension. Although Myolie didn’t know Charmaine but Charmaine knew Myolie. In the year 2036 Myolie could be seen in Charmaine’s eyes to be the best aunty, she decided to take a risk to see if she was the same person as she in her year.
Myolie thought it was a little weird that Charmaine was staring at her, “Thank you for saving me from that guy just then.”
“It’s alright. Um… My friend and I had come back overseas and the airport lost our luggage and all our documents are inside so we have no where to stay tonight,” Charmaine lied.
Myolie immediately offered for them to stay in her apartment, “Why don’t you stay with me tonight. I have a spare room.”
Hsuan Huan was shocked by this proposal, “Staying at a civilians house? I don’t think so. Of my status, I won’t live in a servants house.”
Charmaine pulled on Hsuan Huan’s arm to shut her up, “That will be great.” Myolie’s offering assured that she was the same person, having a heart to help people with a bit of naivety, innocence and being a little gullible.
--------------------------------------------------------------
*Westwood Apartment, 10:14pm*
The elevator stopped at the 38th story, Myolie stepped outside with Charmaine following her. Hsuan Huan on the other hand refused to move, Charmaine turned around and grabbed her hand dragging her out of the elevator.
Myolie stuck her key in her door, “I live with another roommate, she should be fine with you staying here for the night,” and twisted the doorknob walking inside.
Charmaine who was still holding onto Hsuan Huan’s hand dragged her inside. The apartment was average size; it had a decent sized living room with an open kitchen next to it.
Hsuan Huan was disgusted with this place, despite the fact that it was a lot smaller than her home in the Qing times but she wasn’t use to the modern look, “This place is disgusting…”
Charmaine tugged on her arm, “Shh…”
“I’m home!” Myolie shouted out.
“Home just in time for desert,” a voice came from the kitchen, “my new dish…”
Charmaine heard the voice coming from the kitchen, it sounds so familiar. Charmaine’s eyes widened as Bernice walked out of the kitchen holding onto a plate.
“Mum?”
