Leila, upon hearing her name turns around, and almost goes straight into a guy behind her, as she lets out a loud gasp. Seeing the guys laugh, she soon realizes, “Edison?”
“Wah, you can’t even remember me anymore,” Edison teases, “but you always fall for that one. I can’t remember one time when you haven’t freaked out.”
“You ah,” Leila scolds, but then changes the subject, “Omigosh, I haven’t seen you since forever! When did you started working here?”
Edison laughs, “Actually, the question is when have you started working here? I don’t think this is Leila Tong’s dream job. What happened to travelling, opening a Dream’s Café, and all those dreams you told me about.”
“Do you have money?” Leila asks Edison.
Edison, checking his pockets, “Nope.”
“Exactly,” Leila points out, “All the dreams I want to fulfill needs money, it can’t just happen, kind of sucks when you think about it,” she says, turning down.
“No-“Edison was about to protest, but was interrupted.
“Edison.”
Edison turns to see the speaker, “Hey Ron, what’s up?”
“You’re about a minute from being late for the meeting, that’s what,” Ron informs Edison, not taking notice to any other’s presence. Then, realizing the petite Leila next to Edison, “Oh, hi.”
“Hi,” Leila greets in a cheery voice.
Edison, forgetting to introduce his two friends, “Ron, this is Leila Tong, Leila, Ron Ng.”
“Nice to meet you,” Ron says formally.
“You too,” Leila says, giving a warm smile.
“Okay, we better get going,” Edison explains to Leila, “I’ll talk to you later.”

“What’s with you?” Edison asks Raymond as the two and Ron walks out of the meeting.
“Yeah, you were so out of the meeting today,” agrees Ron.
Raymond smiles, not taking any offense to the comments, “Really.”
Edison, starting to catch on, “You know, you’re only like this when-“
“You have new target,” Ron finishes for him, not giving it much concern. “What’s her name?”
“Don’t know,” replies Raymond, still smiling.
“Well, that’s a first,” Edison says, a bit surprised.
“So how do you plan on going after this girl, if you don’t even know her name?” asks Ron.
“She works here.”

“Done? Even Michelle is out of her office,” rushes Leila.
“Yeah, yeah,” Rain answers, grabbing her bag, as she rushes to the elevator, Leila and Michelle already in it. As Rain steps into the elevator, “Okey dokes, ready to go.”
Just as Rain stepped into the elevator, Michelle sees the image of Raymond making his way towards the front entrance, and quickly pushes the elevator button, as the elevator finally started closing.

“Hey,” Edison calls out to the elevator, as it closed. “So much for courtesy here, people don’t even wait when you call to them.”
“Doesn’t matter,” Ron replies, “they probably didn’t see us.”
“If you guys would have picked up speed, we probably could have been in that elevator by now,” Raymond jokes, “well, I would have anyway.”

Leila, seeing Michelle constantly push the button until it closed, “Are we in some kind of a rush Michelle?”
Rain, not noticing, “I’m sorry, what?”

“Wah, a pretty bad impression on the first day, hey?” Rain responds to Michelle’s incident of the morning.
Leila, taking her seat by the window with Michelle and Rain, “Yeah, but that’s kind of cute.”
Michelle, surprised, “I’m sorry, what?”
“Hehehe, that’s what I said in the elevator,” Rain recalls.
“Well, you know those shows on TV. First you hate them, but then you end up falling for them,” Leila explains. “But that’s cute, I think it’s kind of romantic.”
“I think you watch too much TV, you’re starting to live in just your dream world,” Michelle retorts.
“Yeah,” Rain agrees, “you should get back to reality.”
