“Good,” Tavia answered and pulled her bag. She got out a present with a blue sheet cover the box and handed it to Bosco. Bosco smiled, “What is it?” He asked and received the box
“A Hawaii girl,” Tavia replied
“A Hawaii girl,” Bosco laughed and repeated her word, “this small,” he pointed at the box
“Lawyer Wong, how big do you expect she could be?”
Bosco seriously looked at her, “How is your fever?”
“I look healthy, am I?”
“We worried for you very much.”
“We – who are you referring to?”
“Me, Raymond and everyone else, the day you left, Raymond was sad. I knew he cared for you.”
“Thanks,” Tavia bowed
“Can I open it?” Bosco pointed at the blue present
“Sure,” Tavia nodded
Bosco careful unwrapped the blue cover and found a black box. There was a fancy pen and a beautiful key chain, “Wow…” Bosco muttered
“Like it?” Tavia asked
“Yeah, thanks,” Bosco smiled
“Thanks for helping out when I was away.” Tavia told him
“Bosco,” Carlos yelled from outside
Tavia smiled, “Get back to work,” She said and opened the door
I saw Bosco disappoint face, but then Tavia was saying something and he quickly broke to laugh. Tavia looked at Leila, “I have to borrow your boyfriend.”
Leila smiled, “I lent you borrow it, but you have to give him back to me.”
To Tavia, Leila sentence was a joke, but to me, I knew she was serious.

We walked out of the elevator, heading to my car, “How is your fever?” I started the conversation
Tavia smiled, “I’m getting better.”
“Did Steven say something about your weird fever?” I worried asked
“Steven told me not to worry about that, he would take care of it.”
“I could see you look way better than before you left.”
Tavia raised her hand up, “Congratulation,”
“About what?”
“Your marriage,” Tavia answered
I forced to shake her hand, “Thanks,”
Tavia grinned, “You should be happy, but your face didn’t tell me so.”
“But your face shows me that you are happy with our marriage arrangement.” Unfriendly I said
Tavia stared at me, “I don’t get it. I can’t happy for you and her.”
I shook my head, and open the car door for her, “I thought you shouldn’t be happy, for Leila will move out of the house, and you would be alone.”
Tavia got in and closed the door. She looked at Raymond’s back was getting back to his driver seat, “Even though I am not happy, I still wish for happiness would shine on you.” She thought

Leila walked out with Bernice and Carlos, but her eyes still glued on Raymond and Tavia. She knew they were working together, and this case was a tough case. They had to work hard for a good preparation, but she didn’t feel safe with her love. She felt like Tavia would take Raymond away from her for any moment. Bernice pulled her hand, “Want to find something to eat.”
“Ok,” Leila nodded and turned to Carlos, “Wanna join with us?”
“I have to go with Bosco to the victim’s house. When we get out we will call you. If you guys still at the restaurant, we will come.”
“No problem,” Bernice said and walked away with Leila. “What do you want to eat?”
Leila was not in mood, “Anything,”
“Poor Yeung Yi, she didn’t eat anything yet from this noon to now. In the morning, she only ate a donut.” Bernice said
“At least she could be with Raymond.” Leila sudden said
Bernice turned to Leila, “You are jealous?”
“Do you see Raymond love to be with Yeung Yi more than with me?”
Bernice laughed, “Leila, don’t be such a silly girl. They are only working with each other; also you will be getting married with Raymond soon. You don’t trust him.” Bernice raised her voice
“I don’t know,” Leila threw her shoulder
“You and Yeung Yi are best friend, even you don’t trust Raymond, and there is no way for you to not trust Yeung Yi.”
Leila blinked, “I’m not even believed in myself anymore.”

I read the oriental report from the victim, “Tavia, do you see something is missing in this report.” I said but still concentrated on the report, “I remember police had found something in the crime scene. Could you please…?” I said and looked up, but found Tavia had already slept. I looked at the clock on my cell phone; it had already 11:32. I sighed tonight was the third days of working all night. I pulled some tiny hair that float in her eyes and stared at her face, “I wished this moment should be never end. I don’t want to know my history now, and I don’t want it to get back in me. That is the only way you are forever Tavia that I love.” I sighed and pulled out my coat and put on it for her

Sammul without knocking on the door, got in my room with many sentence that could kill me, “Raymond, I just found this; I think it would be useful for your murder case. One of the witnesses had found that she was not at the crime scene during the second case took place.”
I closed the closet and turned to him, “How do you know?”
“One of my friends was an owner of a small motel in the Macao, and she, on December 15th, had come there renting a room. And this,” Sammul replied and handed me the paper, “is the information proofing that.”
I got the paper and studied it, “That mean…,” I looked at Sammul and assumed, “she had lie to us for the whole time.”
“Yup, this is a strong point for your client.” Sammul nodded
“Sammul, could you please…” I wanted him to find some weakness point from other two witnesses for me, but he already read my mind
“I already started working on it. I hope Stephen will return to me within today.” Sammul responded
“Thanks,” I patted his shoulder
Benny got in with two cups in his hand, “I have a friend give me some delicious coffee. Why don’t you try it?” Benny said and handed me the coffee
“Thanks,” I received the cup and smelled it.
Benny was exciting looking at me for some comments, “How is it?” He asked right after I had my first sip.
“Good,” I nodded
“But, it is not as good as Leila’s coffee.” Bosco said and got in with an apple pie in his hand.
I smiled and stared at the coffee cup in my hand. To me Tavia’s coffee was the best. “Wanna go out for a drink?” Bosco asked
Sammul shook his head, “No, I have to wait for information from Stephen.”
“I’m ok,” Benny nodded
At this time, the only person I wanted to meet was Tavia. I stood up and grasped a sport pant with a blouse, “Don’t tell me you want to wear that to a bar?” Bosco pointed at my pant.
I shook my head, “I’m not going with you.” I replied and headed to the bathroom.
