“Good question,” Michelle acknowledges, then turns her direction to the hall, “If you don’t come out by the count of five, then we’re going to leave without you! One… two… three…”
“Okay, okay, coming lah,” Rain says, rushing out of her room, trying to slip on her shoes, then stops short, and stands up straight, “So, how do I look, professional enough?” she asks, wearing a shape-fitting long, black skirt, and a burgundy laced long-sleeve.
“You look great,” Leila teases, “for someone who doesn’t dress up most of the time.”
“Hey, I don’t think that’s an nice answer,” Rain says suspiciously.
Michelle, sighs, “You look lovely Rain, now should we go, before you’re late for you’re first day at work,” she says, opening the door.
“Right, right,” Rain says, about to head out the door, then remembers, “Shoot, I forgot my bag,” she exclaims, and quickly runs to her room.

“Okay, okay, let’s go,” Rain says, quickly getting out of the back seat.
“Hey, at least wait for me,” Leila says, getting out of the front passenger seat, with Michelle getting out last, “I can barely walk, I’m so tired,” she says staggering as she walked towards Rain.
“You shouldn’t complain, you were probably up all night, talking to that guy of yours,” Rain confronts, “I mean, seriously, isn’t it a bit dangerous talking to someone you have no clue about, what if he tries to stalk you?”
“Of course not,” Leila quickly defends, wide awake, “he’s like the perfect guy.”
“It might not even be a guy for all we know,” Michelle joins in the teasing.
Leila, pretending to be upset, “I’m not even going to bother with such hopeless people,” she says, taking off.
“Hey, you’re suppose to take me to my department,” Rain quickly calls after Leila, as Leila picked up pace. Rain then stops and turns to Michelle, who was unheard of, “Michelle, you coming?”
“No, go ahead,” Michelle responds, heading back to her car, “I forgot my briefcase in the car.”
“Okay then, see you at lunch!” Rain calls to Michelle, as she catches up with Leila.
After getting her briefcase out of the back seat, Michelle begins to head up the lot, but then hears voices around the corner. As she turns the corner, she sees a girl flirting with a guy by his car. The guy having notice someone there quickly pushed the girl away and stood up. Michelle showing a glance of disgust continues her way up the lot.

“This will be your placement for now,” the head secretary instructs Rain, “you’ll be working the front desk on the main floor.”
“Okay, thanks,” Rain says, as the head secretary left. She then starts adjusting to her desk. As she hears the elevator begin to open, she turns to it quickly, but accidentally knocks over the papers on the other side. Clumsily, Rain quickly gets off her seat and starts picking up the paper.

As Edison walks out of the elevator, he doesn’t notice anyone at the front desk, assuming that the Nancy was late on the job, he continued by the desk, not looking behind the counter.

“Good Morning Mr. Kwok,” Michelle greets, as he walks into her office.
“Morning Michelle,” Mr. Kwok returns, “I have someone I would for you to meet this morning.”
“Who is that,” Michelle asks, sure that she had no meetings this morning.
Just as her question was asked, the guy she saw in the lot that morning walks in. “Michelle, meet Raymond Lam, our future boss, Mr. Lam’s son,” Mr. Kwok introduces. “Raymond, Michelle Yip, our manager of the finance department.”
Raymond, seeing a rather awkward Michelle, “Nice to meet you Miss Yip,” he greets, putting forth his hand.
“You too,” Michelle says, though not as welcoming.

“I think you have met all our directors and managers in one morning Raymond,” Mr. Kwok finalizes. “Is there anywhere else you would like to go?”
“No, it’s all right Uncle Kwok,” answers Raymond, “I think I’ll just take a walk around the place to get use to it.”
“Okay, well if you need anything, you know where to find me,” Mr. Kwok reassures, “and remember the meeting at 11 o’clock.”
“Yeah, thanks,” Raymond bids, as Mr. Kwok turns away. Just as Raymond turns the opposite direction, he bumps straight into a girl, and catches her right before she trips over. At that very moment, she captivated Raymond with her surprised presence.
“Oh, sorry,” the girl quickly apologizes, as she gently steps away from him.
“No, it was my fault,” Raymond assures and begins to introduce himself, “My-“
“Raymond.”
Raymond turns around to his name, as his secretary started coming up to him. “Mr. Lam, were these the only files you needed for the meeting?” she asked.
Raymond took a quick glance at the files, “Yeah.”
“Okay, I’ll just set them on your desk then,” she says, taking off.
Raymond then quickly turns around to the girl, but did not find her in sigh
