Ky Duyen whispers into Calvin Hiep’s ear, “Don’t embarrass me or you know what will happen…”
Calvin Hiep breathes out heavily, “I won’t disappoint you Mrs. Duyen.”
Trinh Hoi stands up and announces “The rules are for you to draw one of the designs in this package of designs…”
“Wait…!” Ky Duyen screams. “We have already heard of one design. Therefore it’s unfair for them to draw that one.”
“I’m dead.” Calvin Hiep closes his eyes.
“Fine then you picks one of the designs.” Trinh Hoi hands over the package to Ky Duyen.

Bao Han ran toward the confused Trinh Hoi and grabs the drawing to see that both of the drawing looks exactly the same.
Bao Han holds both of the drawing in her hand and screams, “How could this have happen?”
Ky Duyen turns around and winks at Calvin Hiep which causes him to smile in joy. Calvin Hiep stands up from his chair and walks over to Bao Han, “It’s obvious that you I know the designs.
“By cheating...!” Bao Han screams.
“How…? Can you please explain it to me?” Calvin Hiep scoffs.
“She can’t but I can.” Tuong Khue steps up out of the crowd of designers.
Ky Duyen eyes bulges, “This is no time for you to talk.”
“I let him talk. Go ahead…!” Trinh Hoi defends.
Tuong Khue walks over to Ky Duyen and snatches the real Calvin Hiep’s paper out of the design package that Ky Duyen had switch while picking up the designs, “This is the real drawing that Calvin Hiep drew.”
“Don’t be arrogant and stupid!” Ky Duyen snatches the designs out of Tuong Khue’s hands.
“Then why is his signature at the bottom of the piece of paper?” Bao Han questions with a smirk.
Ky Duyen checks hurriedly and sees Calvin Hiep’s signature and rolls her eyes. Because of the embarrassment Ky Duyen marches into her room and slams the door behind her leaving Calvin Hiep pale faced.
“You know I’m very sorry Bao Han.” Calvin Hiep says in a sweet voice.
“I accept your apology, but I don’t know about your boss, Trinh Hoi.” Bao Han mocks.
“Packs your belongings and I don’t think I have to tell you where the door is.” Trinh Hoi is furious.
Calvin Hiep falls onto the ground begging, “Please don’t fire me! This is the only job for me to support my family.”
“Family of one…?” Tuong Khue questions causing laughs.
“How did you… What… and…?” Calvin Hiep stutters.

[Home]
The room was dark and quiet with sounds of cricket chirping from the window. The door of the window had been opened letting in the weary wind – floating the curtain lifelessly in the air. Sound of cats meowing and dogs howling in the night wakes Tu Quyen from her sleep. Tu Quyen sits up and scratches the back of her hair, “I shouldn’t have drunk so much water.”
Tu Quyen uncovers her body from the blanket and makes her way to the door. Once she opened the door she stares straight into the mirror across the room where she can see a blonde lady in a white suit. Tu Quyen rubs her eyes and look behind her, but nothing was there. She continues walking slowly toward the bathroom thinking, “It’s just my imagination.”
Once Tu Quyen was in the bathroom she heard footstep walking heavily toward the bathroom in fear she locks the door. Tu Quyen turns on the water and splashes at her face saying to herself, “There’s no such thing as ghost.” Suddenly the light in the bathroom turns off when Tu Quyen had her face in the water. When she lifts her head out of the water she sees in the mirror that the same blond lady in the white suite was behind her. Tu Quyen swallows and in fear but remains still and calm, “Just my imagination.”
The lady looks up and stare Tu Quyen eye in eye. Tu Quyen could she that her face was all mess up with scratches and was bleeding tremendously. Tu Quyen tries to look away, but couldn’t like she was frozen in time when she stare into the ghost’s gloomy and sad eyes.
The ghost moves closer and closer toward Tu Quyen, who gasps for air and closes her eye. The ghost put its hand around Tu Quyen’s waist and pulls itself closer until their head meet. Tu Quyen could feel the ghost’s head touching her and the blood hitting her skin when it drop down. “Thing doesn’t seem what it is because it’s takes two. Revenge me.” The ghost whispers into Tu Quyen’s ears.
Tu Quyen slowly opens her eye hoping for the ghost to be gone and indeed the only person she sees in the mirror was herself. She then turns on the light of the bathroom and splashes water onto her face again. Tu Quyen arises from the water and look at her shoulder where she sees no blood that she had felt when the ghost was above her. “Just my imagination…!” Tu Quyen shakes her head.
Tu Quyen walks slowly back to her room still thinking about the incident. She stands in the front of her room with her back on the mirror. Tu Quyen turns quickly around to look if she can spot the blond ghost in the mirror, but she sees nothing. Tu Quyen takes a deep breath and walks to her bed. She then stops when she realizes that the covers look bigger and fuller like someone was in her bed. Tu Quyen shakes her head, “No! This is not happening there’s no such thing as ghost.”
Tu Quyen was about to run out of her room when she hears giggles from the bed. She then turns around with a grin on her face, “You are so dead.” Tu Quyen walks to the side of her bed and grab the nearest pillow to her. Tu Quyen swings the pillow back and slams it onto the bump of the bed. She continues hitting, but stops when she sees nothing was moving. Pulling the covers slowly off the body she sees a blond head and screams at the top of her lung. A hand reaches out from the covers and grabs Tu Quyen’s hand tightly pulling her inside the covers. Still screaming at the top of her lung Tu Quyen wakes up everyone in the house.
Bao Han; with a bright white wrinkles remover mask on and Nhu Loan; with curls in her puff up hair rush hurriedly into the room in shock at the loud scream.
“What is going on?” Bao Han turns on the light.
Nhu Loan holding a bat, “Are there robbers?”
Bao Han walks over and lifts the covers off the bed where they see Minh Tuyet in a white suit with a blond wig on still holding onto Tu Quyen; who still was screaming and closing her eyes.
Nhu Loan tabs Tu Quyen on the shoulder, “Honey opens your eyes.”
Tu Quyen opens her eyes just to see Minh Tuyet in the blond wig laughing hysterically on the bed, “That’s not funny.”
“I thought you don’t believe in ghosts.” Minh Tuyet makes a scary face.
“I was just playing around with you. How did you do that in the bathroom?” Tu Quyen puts her hand on her hip.
Minh Tuyet in confuse, “What are you talking about? I only open the window so the wind can blow in, look straight into the mirror to make you scare and made the loud foot step when you were in the bathroom.”
“No! The woman and the blood….” Tu Quyen stutters.
Nhu Loan wipes the tears off of Tu Quyen’s cheeks, “You must have been so scare to even cry.”
“Check if she peed in her pants too.” Bao Han points at Tu Quyen.
Tu Quyen picks up the pillow that she had drop onto the floor and starts hitting Minh Tuyet again who scream and laughs with joy. Seeing the fun and excitement Nhu Loan and Bao Han joins the fun which turns into a large pillow fight. A body in a white suit floats ghastly past the opened door across the hallway.

Bang Kieu walks Bao Han over to Trinh Hoi and help her sit down, “What would you like to drink?”
“One cup of hot coffee…” Bao Han orders.
“You’re late today.” Trinh Hoi talks while reading the newspaper.
“I’m sorry just that the girls and I…”
Trinh Hoi bust out laughing, “You don’t have to explain to me. I was just kidding around with you.”
Bao Han smile uneasily, “I thought you were really mad.”
“You think of me as a mean boss?”
“Your wife is.” Bao Han whispers under her voice.
“What was that?” Trinh Hoi questions.
“Nothing…!” Bao Han says quickly.
Trinh Hoi looks at Bao Han, “Now we are here I want to hear why you were in the boys’ bathroom.”
Bao Han starts to blush, “I ran into the wrong bathroom because my eyes were blurry.”
“Either you didn’t have your contact on or you were crying. Which of the two…?”
“Sands blew into my eyes.” Bao Han lies.
Trinh Hoi makes a disbelieve face, “Your eyes were bright red yesterday. You were crying. Don’t lie!”
“I was but who wouldn’t in that situation.”
“You were watching Korean drama at work?” Trinh Hoi jokes.
“No! I spend my whole July 4th working on those designs for the company, but the next morning when I woke up it wasn’t there…”
“Where were the designs?” Trinh Hoi asks.
Bao Han scoffs, “Calvin Hiep had the designs. Can you believe it he stole my designs and says they were his?”
“Now I see why you were so crazy that you even went into the boys’ bathroom.” Trinh Hoi touches his chin.
“Don’t tell Mrs. Duyen that I told you this because I don’t want any drama in the office.” Bao Han looks at her hand.
Bang Kieu looks closely at Bao Han and Trinh Hoi when he thought Trinh Hoi was leaning over to kiss Bao Han. However, Trinh Hoi was only leaning over to lift up Bao Han’s face to comforts her.
“I believe you.” Trinh Hoi smile.
“But Mrs. Duyen doesn’t.”
Trinh Hoi grin widely, “I know a way to make this all clear again.”
“How…?” Bao Han is anxious to know.
“You’ll see during work after the weekend.”

“Everyone will get their chance to pick where you sit except for you three.” Huong Lan points at the three standing embarrass at the front of the class.
Everyone in the class mover their stuff to where they wanted to sit leaving three spot in the room left. One spot was in the back of the room where a girl, Huong Giang, with glasses and braces sits alone.
Huynh Gia Tuan whisper to Angela Tram Anh, “Who want to sit with a nerd?”
The second spot sat next to a guy, Adam Ho, in raggedy clothes and messy hair.
“Peoples say he picks his nose and stinks!” Angela makes a disgusting face.
Van Quynh looks up for the first time and in the middle of the middle row sit alone a handsome dude, Duong Trieu Vu. Their eyes meet when he looks up at her, she speedily looks down again to avoid eye contact.
“There are three spaces left. Huynh Gia Tuan I want you to sit next to Adam.”
Huynh Gia Tuan slowly drags his book bag to the seat, “I’m going to need a lot of clone.”
Huong Lan continues “Van Quynh sits with Duong…” Van Quynh smirks under her face. “…Huong Giang meaning Angela sits next to Duong Trieu Vu.”
Van Quynh jaw drops as she walks over to the back of the room, “She hates me.”
Huong Giang pushes her glasses up to her face, “Hi! I’m Huong Giang. I’m so glad to sit next to you.”
“Hi! I’m Van Quynh.” Van Quynh introduces herself in a low and unenthusiastic way.
“I don’t have many friends… I mean I don’t have any friend. Would you be my best friend?” Huong Giang smile showing her braces.
“Sure I guess.” Van Quynh put her head on the table looking at the back of Duong Trieu Vu’s head.
[Home]
“Today was hell.” Minh Tuyet falls onto the sofa.
Tu Quyen turns on the family computer, “Have you show Bang Tam the improvement and stats of the shop?”
“I’ve been so busy don’t even have time to go give her a visit.”
“Why it is taking her so long? Andy… Andy has already got out twice!”
“The doctor says it’ll take her longer to heal because of where the bullet hit.” Minh Tuyet explains.
Tu Quyen signal for Minh Tuyet to come over to the family computer, “What her name?”
“Whose name…?” Minh Tuyet walks over.
“The bald guy from the coffee shop today...”
“Dalena why…?”
Tu Quyen puts her police code and password into the police database. After it signs in she types in Dalena. The computer pops up a screen with a list of names.
“What is her last name?”
“If Henry’s last name is Chuc then maybe so is she.”
When Tu Quyen types in Dalena Chuc a picture of a blonde beauty; the same as the woman from the day of the Tu Quyen mud incident.
“That’s her!” Minh Tuyet jumps in excitement. “Do you know where she lives?”
“In hell or heaven depend on her good deeds.”
“What?” Minh Tuyet is shock.
Tu Quyen points at the screen, “She’s dead!”
“But we just saw her last week still healthy and strong.”
Tu Quyen smacks Minh Tuyet in the head, “She could die from an accident…”
“Ouch!” Minh Tuyet rubs her head. “Maybe she was in a car accident…”
“No it says here she was murder 3 months ago.” Tu Quyen covers her mouth.
“Then who was the person at our coffee shop?”
“Wait this is the same blonde in Eddie’s backyard.” Tu Quyen points at the screen.
Minh Tuyet gasps, “We speaks and touch a ghost!”
Tu Quyen smack Minh Tuyet in the head again, “Don’t be stupid! There’s no such thing as ghosts.”
Minh Tuyet pushes Tu Quyen in the arm, “Stop hitting me.”
“This is confusing and complicated. How could she be dead and then talking to us?” Tu Quyen scratches her forehead.
“BOO!” Minh Tuyet screams from behind making Tu Quyen jumps.
Minh Tuyet falls onto the sofa laughing hysterically, “And you say you don’t believe in ghosts.”
“I don’t but I never said I wasn’t scare.” Tu Quyen jumps onto Minh Tuyet tickling her.

After the Tu Quyen’s mud incident the coffee shop was fill with customers. From the earliest of the morning there was already a line of customers waiting for some sweet morning coffee and sweet donuts.
“Here is your donut and coffee.” Minh Tuyet places the food down.
“I didn’t order this.”
“Where are my orders?” Another customer yells from across the room.
Minh Tuyet smile, “Sorry about that.”
Minh Tuyet walks hurriedly over to the counter, “We need more peoples to help us out.”
“I know I don’t even know if a customer pay or not.” Bang Kieu agree.
“I know they right peoples for this job.” Minh Tuyet smile.
Hours later Nhu Loan and Van Quynh enter the store with frowns on their faces. They walk toward the counter, “We’re here your majesty.”
“Where are the others?” Minh Tuyet questions.
“Bao Han’s working and Tu Quyen’s is getting ready for a date.” Nhu Loan reports.
“Who works on Independent day?” Minh Tuyet rolls her eyes.
“What are you doing big sister?” Van Quynh mocks.
Minh Tuyet says quietly, “Well… Working, but this is different. Wait did you say Tu Quyen is getting ready for a date?”

[Outside of Mystic Garden Restaurant]
In a deep V cut light pink with silver pieces dress Tu Quyen walks toward the outside restaurant where she and Luong Tung Quang will have their first debut date. Tu Quyen had pulled her bangs back with clips and also curls her hair because she remembers that Andy had once told her that she look at her best with curls.
At the moment Tu Quyen spot Luong Tung Quang sitting alone at a table near a pond with bright yellow and white lilies growing out of it. Lights hang from above the red covered table. In the middle of the table are three lighted white candles.
“This looks so romantic.” Tu Quyen smile.
Luong Tung Quang stands up from his seat as soon as he sees Tu Quyen. He then hands her a pile of bright red rose, “I wrap it up this time so you won’t get hurt.” Luong Tung Quang winks as he helps Tu Quyen sit down.
“It’s beautiful here. You don’t have to take me to somewhere so romantic.”
“I want to be as romantic as possible to see…”
“To see what…?” Tu Quyen questions.
Luong Tung Quang stutter, “I mean so that I would make a good first impression.”
“You already did yesterday at the park.”
“May I take your orders?” The owner of the restaurant, My Linh, asks.
“I would like to have beef steak and wine please.” Luong Tung Quang closes his menu.
“Same.” Tu Quyen hand My Linh the menu.
“Then what do you want for desserts?” My Linh hands back the menu.
Tu Quyen looks at Luong Tung Quang and smile, “Cheesecake?”
“Two please.” Luong Tung Quang makes his hand into the peace sign.
“It will be out in no time now.”
“That was quite embarrassing.” Tu Quyen laughs.
Luong Tung Quang smile, “It’s my first time taking someone to a place so high class and romantic. If they didn’t make…”
“They didn’t make you. Whose they…?” Tu Quyen is anxious.
“My friend… buddies… They say taking a girl out here is very romantic.” Luong Tung Quang stutters.
Tu Quyen laughs, “Why are you so nervous?”
“I’m not nervous… Well any guy would be if they are sitting here with the prettiest girl in the world.”
Tu Quyen screams under her breath, “Oh my god!”
[Coffee Shop]
Bang Kieu had gone into the back to clean up and lock the back door while Minh Tuyet sweeps the floor before closing the store. Nhu Loan and Van Quynh fall down onto a chair exhausted at the full day of walking and taking orders.
“This is child labor.” Van Quynh cries.
“Either do the work or live in the street.” Minh Tuyet grins.
“We deserve some money.” Nhu Loan complains.
Minh Tuyet shudder, “But you don’t work here.”
Van Quynh gasps, “We did work here tomorrow.”
“Next time ok?”
“We want the money now.” Nhu Loan runs toward the cash register.
Minh Tuyet slams the broom on the register – almost hitting Nhu Loan’s hands, “You want that? You must go through me first.”
Van Quynh grabs Minh Tuyet from behind, “I got her! Get the money!”
Minh Tuyet screams and struggles to get out from Van Quynh’s strong grip. Nhu Loan sticks out her tongue as she takes the money slowly. Suddenly a young male with a bald head, Henry Chuc, walks into the store. Seeing Minh Tuyet struggles he ran forward to help her out.
“Are they robbers?” Henry uses his hand to protect Minh Tuyet.
“I have a gun don’t move!” Van Quynh says in a serious tone.
At that same time Bang Kieu enters the room – seeing Minh Tuyet behind a stranger back and Van Quynh tense voice Bang Kieu was scare.
Minh Tuyet lowers Henry’s arm down as she walks toward Bang Kieu, “Stop kidding around. This is my boyfriend, Bang Kieu, my sister, Van Quynh, and my friend, Nhu Loan, we’re just fooling around.”
“What’s going on?” Bang Kieu is confused.
“I’ll explain later.”
Henry’s eyes bulges, “That’s a weird way to kid around. Any who is this place still open?”
“Yes! This is quite late to still be eating donut and drink coffee.” Minh Tuyet is surprise.
“It is the forth of July.”
“You’re lucky we were just about to close.” Nhu Loan smile.
“What would you like to eat or drink?” Bang Kieu asks.
Henry scratches his bald shiny head, “I don’t want any foods…”
“Then why are you here?” Van Quynh questions.
“I’m here in search for my wife.”
“Your wife… Why here?” Minh Tuyet is anxious.
“I flew all the way in from Washington because one of my family members saw her here at the shop yesterday.”
Bang Kieu apologizes, “We’re sorry but we have tons of customer in the last two days.”
“Her name is Dalena, she has beautiful blond hair.” Henry describes.
“Is she the one that made the big scene?” Van Quynh whispers to Nhu Loan.
“Maybe I don’t know.”
“Do you have a picture of her?” Minh Tuyet asks.
Henry takes out his wallet which opens to a beautiful picture of a blond bombshell in a blue tank top sitting in front of a lake.
“Yes she has been here.” Minh Tuyet answers quickly.
“Where is she now?”
“We don’t really know where she is because she only came for some coffee.” Bang Kieu answers.
Henry slams at the table which made every startle, “I need to find her.”
“You must be really in love with her.” Nhu Loan admires.
“Yes I do and I must find her before anyone else does.” Henry takes off leaving everyone in the shop astonish.
[Outside of Mystic Garden Restaurant]
After Luong Tung Quang and Tu Quyen finish their tasty meal, delicious dessert and fine wine they decided to go on a stroll along the pond with the beautiful lilies. Hand in hand they walk around the pond. They then both stop in their track and face each other.
“You look absolutely stunning tonight.” Luong Tung Quang leans forward to kiss Tu Quyen.
Their lips were about to touch when Tu Quyen sees a mysterious guy in a black mask snatching a purse from an old woman. Suddenly her heels break under her feet which cause Luong Tung Quang to kiss her forehead.
Tu Quyen pushes Luong Tung Quang aside, takes off her heels and ran after the robber in her light pink dress – Luong Tung Quang follow from behind.
The robber pushes a man off a yellow motorcycle and drove away. Tu Quyen thought there was no chance for her to follow the robber because she was on feet. However, she sees him turn the corner. Tu Quyen immediately takes a short cut through the dark and scary alley – still with Luong Tung Quang following from behind.
The moment she reaches the other side of the alley she didn’t sight any person on a motorcycle. Tu Quyen was furious at herself for what had just happen and slam her hand at the light pole. Then at that moment she hears the sound of a motorcycle and as she looks up she sees the same guy in a mask on the yellow motorcycle turning into the street.
Tu Quyen jumps up happily with a huge smile on her face. “Now how do I get a robber off a motorcycle?” Tu Quyen grins evilly at a thick stick on the middle of the street.
The motorcycle came straight forward with full speed into the swinging stick swings by Tu Quyen. The robber flew backward onto the ground heavily while the stolen motorcycle slid forward out of control.
Tu Quyen walks and puts her left foot over the robber, “Don’t mess with barefoot Madam Quyen.”
After bending over and getting the purse Tu Quyen turns around where she sees a bunch of peoples applauding and cheering at her. The woman that got her purse stolen thanks and kisses Tu Quyen. Among the audience stands Luong Tung Quang clapping his hand and smiling with satisfaction.
Tu Quyen lifts her head with pride when she sees something shooting into the sky – the sparks blast into thousands of other lights. She then remembers it was forth of July. Fireworks blew up in many different colors and shape in the black and silent sky. Luong Tung Quang walks over and takes Tu Quyen’s hand. Hand in hand they walk together once again, but this time gazing at the multi color fireworks.
[Coffee Shop]
The moment Bang Kieu, Minh Tuyet, Nhu Loan, and Van Quynh heard the fireworks they hurriedly outside to enjoy the view. They had decided to sit and enjoy the beautiful arrangement.
“Did he just swallow her face?” Van Quynh says in a disgusted face at Minh Tuyet and Bang Kieu kissing.
Nhu Loan pushes Van Quynh lightly, “You know you wish you have someone by your side enjoying this romantic night with.”
Minh Tuyet rests her head on Bang Kieu’s shoulder, “I wish time would freeze this moment forever.”
[TH & KD Design Company]
