[TH & KD Design Company]
Bao Han and Calvin Hiep sit in the middle of the room with pencils and paper ready to begin while the whole company watches from behind in excitement. Trinh Hoi stands behind Bao Han while Ky Duyen stands behind Calvin Hiep.
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.
Ky Duyen flips and looks through the designs the pick randomly. She then holds it up for Bao Han and Calvin Hiep to look and observes then shows it to Trinh Hoi and the rest of the peoples in the company. The moment Bao Han set eyes on the blue extravagant strapless and backless gown, Bao Han went straight to work. However, Calvin Hiep on the other hand just sat there scare and terrified about losing his job.
Ky Duyen came over to picks up the designs and sees the full drawing of Bao Han while Calvin Hiep had nothing on his paper. Bao Han smiles widely while Calvin shakes in fear. Ky Duyen hands Trinh Hoi both of the drawing and Trinh Hoi made a confusing face. 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.
Bao Han jumps up and down excitedly as everyone surrounds her. Trinh Hoi gives Bao Han a deep hug causing her to feel warm and secure. Inside her office, Ky Duyen looks at the two hugging with rage and anger.
[Gucci Company]
Nhu Loan stands in the long line of models waiting for an interview to be in the multimillion dollar modeling company. Nhu Loan observes and looks around at the other models, “They’re all so beautiful… That girl looks like she can win a beauty pageant! Why am I here? I’m not even that pretty.”
“You’re gorgeous honey.” A lady says from behind.
Nhu Loan turns around and sees the same model, Cat Ly; she was competing with during her trip to Maxim Modeling Company, “It’s you… Weren’t you the one at the other…?”
“Yes at Maxim Modeling Company. I have to say thank you.”
“For what…? I didn’t do anything.” Nhu Loan is confused.
“The speech you made really inspired me to treat myself with respect and dignity.”
“I made an impact on someone else?”
“Yeah…! Are you here for an interview?”
Nhu Loan rolls her eyes, “The line is extremely long. I’m number 101!”
“You’re one ahead of her I’m number 102.” Cat Ly laughs.
“Now I don’t have to be bored by myself anymore.”
Nhu Loan and Cat Ly continue to chat and laugh about their modeling career.
“It’s my turn already. That was so quick!”
“Good luck and nail that interview.” Cat Ly cheers.
Nhu Loan walks slowly into the room where she sees rows of clothes hanging and a runway in the middle of the large room, “This is huge.” Nhu Loan continues walking and observing everything around her.
“Over here.” A manly voice echoes in the large room.
Nhu Loan looks quickly at the directly of the voice and sees a handsome and neatly dress up man, Tran Thai Hoa, sitting at one corner of the room. Nhu Loan walks slowly and shyly toward the man, “Wait this is a modeling interview.”
Nhu Loan suddenly drops her hand to her hips and walks fiercely toward Tran Thai Hoa which causes Tran Thai Hoa to give a smirk.
When Nhu Loan reaches the desk she winks at Tran Thai Hoa and stick out her hand for a hand shake, “My name is Nhu Loan, I’m now 24 and I want to be a model of Gucci Company.”
“Why should we hire you?” Tran Thai Hoa bites the top of his pen.
“You don’t have to hire me, but I suggest you do.” Nhu Loan says demandingly.
“Because…?”
“Because I love and enjoy walking fiercely down the runway. I have a passion for fashion.”
“More…?” Tran Thai Hoa is interested.
“That’s all. I want to keep it simple.”
Tran Thai Hoa smiles, “We will give you a call when we reach a decision.”
Nhu Loan thanks and walks toward the door with her hands shaking in fear, “I can’t believe I just did that.”
Once Nhu Loan reaches the street she sighs as she looks at the company’s sign. Nhu Loan walks across the street with many other strangers, but stop in the middle of the street when she hears someone calling her name.
“Nhu Loan... Stop…!”
Nhu Loan turns around and sees the receptionist, Vina Uyen Mi, “Hi there! Is there a problem?”
“It’s not a problem just that you got the…” Vina Uyen Mi was interrupts be the honking of the car.
“What…? I can’t hear you.” Nhu Loan screams back still standing in the middle of the street.
“I say you got the…” Vina Uyen Mi once again gets overshadow by the honking of the cars.
Nhu Loan puts her hand into the air and shakes it for signals that she can’t hear anything. Suddenly the light turns green and Nhu Loan was still standing in the middle of the busy street.
Nhu Loan screams at the oncoming cars and run speedily toward the sidewalk, “That was close.”
Vina Uyen Mi walks over to Nhu Loan and pats her on the shoulder, “That was a close one. You don’t want to have to takes days off for your first few days of work.”
“I don’t have a job…” Nhu Loan smiles and fixes her hair.
“Yes you do!” Vina Uyen Mi smiles.
“I really don’t have a job. That’s why I’m here to get a job…” Nhu Loan eyes bulges, “I got the job? I’m a model of Gucci Company?”
Vina Uyen Mi gives Nhu Loan a smile, “Congratulation!”
Nhu Loan; who was standing in the middle of the street screams and yell in excitement, “I got the job! I got the job!”
[Police Station, Tu Quyen’s Office]
Tu Quyen wipes the tears away from her eyes and made her way to her desk. She sits down and tears continue to drop from her eyes. “Stop crying. It’s over!” Tu Quyen continues to remind herself, but she couldn’t help but remember all the great time the two had together.
Suddenly her cell phone rings and she picks up to hear the voice of Luong Tung Quang, “Hello?”
“What are you doing?” Luong Tung Quang questions.
“I’m at work.”
“What’s wrong you sound weird?”
“Nothing just a little sick…!” Tu Quyen fakes a cough.
“I’ll pick you up after work and we can go out for dinner.”
“Not today… I don’t feel well.”
“Then how about tomorrow night…?”
“I’ll call you when I feel better ok?”
“Hope you feel better.”
Tu Quyen hangs up and looks at the door with tears in her eyes.
Outside that very door still stand Andy Quach in pain. Andy Quach holds up his hand and touches the door with grief and anger.
“Are you ok?” Cat Tien says in a concern voice.
“Can you do something for me?”
“Anything…”
“Go drinking with me.” Andy Quach grabs Cat Tien’s hand and they walks out the door.
[Go-Go Bar]
Andy Quach downs another beer after another leaving Cat Tien sitting with still one bottle.
“Give me more beer…!” Andy Quach screams for more.
Cat Tien sit uncomfortable on the chair staring at Andy drinking beers, “Why am I here?”
Andy Quach holds the beer bottle to the air and scream, “This feels great!” Andy Quach then looks over at the uncomfortable Cat Tien and grabs her hand, “Come with me.”
“Here we go again!”
Andy Quach and Cat Tien leaves the bar after Cat Tien pays for the beers and with his hand over Cat Tien’s shoulder the two walks dizzily down the street.
“Where are we going?” Cat Tien questions.
“We are going…” Andy Quach throws up on the wall and falls to the ground.
Cat Tien helps Andy Quach up, “Why do I have to do this?”
With the drunken Andy Quach on her shoulder Cat Tien walks them to her apartment where she lives alone by herself. She lets Andy lay on her bed, “Why am I doing this? He doesn’t love me.”
Suddenly Andy Quach grabs Cat Tien hand, “Don’t leave me.”
Cat Tien’s cheeks turns bright red, “I’m just going to go get you some coffee.”
“No… I want you by my side forever.” Andy Quach says dreamingly.
Cat Tien gulps, “Do you really mean that?”
“I love you and I'll always will” Andy Quach pulls Cat Tien toward him.
