Tran Thai Hoa throws the pile of photos that Nhu Loan was in as the background model lying in the mud onto the table angrily, “Are these supposed to be professionals? Even my grandmother can takes better photos then these.”
“I don’t know sir, but we are not in charge of the way the photos are taken. I only pick the models.” Vina Uyen Mi looks to the ground.
“The main model doesn’t look too professional and I expect every single photo taken and release to be flawless.” Tran Thai Hoa sits down onto his chair.
“I’m sorry sir.”
“Where is everyone else?” Tran Thai Hoa pushes the photos to the ground and onto Ngoc Lien’s legs; who just walked into the room.
Ngoc Lien kicks the photos off her leg, “What did you guys do to make him so mad?”
“Look at the photos!” Tran Thai Hoa spins his chair around to where the back of his seat faces Ngoc Lien.
Ngoc Lien stands and stares at Vina Uyen Mi who picks up the photos to show it to her. Ngoc Lien evaluates and observes the photos, “They’re done quite well.”
“For a thousand dollar Budget Company…!” Tran Thai Hoa slams his hand onto the table.
“If you don’t like it we can re-do the photo shoot.” Ngoc Lien smile forcefully.
Tran Thai Hoa points at the photos, “I want the main model fire.”
Vina Uyen Mi sits and tries to listen while types down what ever Tran Thai Hoa says, “I’ll go do right after this meeting.”
“If we fire her then I’ll pick another model.” Ngoc Lien heads toward the door.
“No need…” Tran Thai Hoa stops her.
Ngoc Lien turns around with a force smile on her face, “I usually choose all the models for photo shoot.”
“I already have a model in mind for this one. Let the background model in those photos be the main model.”
“But she’s a newbie.” Ngoc Lien says.
“She outshines the main model in every aspect in those photos.”
Ngoc Lien takes a deep breath, “What can I do? You are the boss.” Ngoc Lien walks out the door snapping her fingers for Vina Uyen Mi to follow.
“It’s good to be king.” Tran Thai Hoa sits down onto his chair and smile widely.
[Police Station, Tu Quyen’s office]
“It doesn’t matter if you two are in an argument or anything, but you don’t hit your wife.” Tu Quyen slams her hands onto the table scaring the couple sitting in front of her.
“But she…” The man, Quang Minh, tries to talk.
Tu Quyen slam her hand once again, “I don’t hear anything! The only thing that matter now is that you hit your wife and I don’t tolerate that kind of bullshit.”
The woman, Hong Dao, hold her face and cries dramatically, “He hit and beat me everyday. I can’t take it anymore so I call the police…”
“You…!” Quang Minh tries to talk when Tu Quyen interrupts, “Shut up…! I don’t want to hear you. If you hit her ever again I’ll put you in jail for life.”
“She can do that…?” Quang Minh turns around and looks at all the polices, chiefs, mail mans, ect. nodding at him.
Tu Quyen screams, “Do you think of your children? This bickering and argument going between you two will affect them tremendously.”
Hong Dao burst out crying and screaming, “My children…! Why did you make them have bad parents like us?”
“I’m sorry honey that I’ve hurt you and the kids all these years.” Quang Minh grabs Hong Dao’s hand.
“It’s more like a free therapy then a capturing.” Cat Tien says confusedly.
Andy Quach smile, “This isn’t the first.”
“Usually most couples come in here and make a big scene wanting to see Madam Quyen only.” Cardin Nguyen says.
“Because most of us are guys they cry and scream until they make it into this room.” Evan Le points into the room.
James Nguyen points at Quang Minh and Hong Dao, “That couple come in once a week…”
“And only madam Quyen can handle them.” Spencer finishes.
Tu Quyen points out the door, “Now I want you two to go home and live happily as a family. I don’t want to see both of you in this police station again you hear?”
Quang Minh and Hong Dao hold each others hand and walk out the police station kissing and smiling.
“Only she can do it.” Tuan Ngoc shakes his head as he heads toward his office.
Tu Quyen closes the file, “Another one done.” She then realizes all the peoples peaking into her office and walks toward it, “Don’t you have a job to do?”
Everyone starts running crazily either back to their desk or out the police office.
Tu Quyen was about to close the door when someone pulls the door open. Standing on the other side was Minh Tuyet, “Am I not welcome?”
“What are you doing here?” Tu Quyen lets Minh Tuyet in.
[Police Station, Center Room]
“I thought that there was no visitor during working hours.” Cat Tien rolls her eyes.
Cardin Nguyen pats Cat Tien on the back, “What can we do? She’s our madam.”
“I don’t think it’s fair.” Cat Tien pouches.
Evan Le points at the clock, “It is fair. Lunch hour…!”
Everyone in the police station starts running to go get lunch leaving Cat Tien sitting alone looking at Tu Quyen’s door with envy. Cat Tien then looks across the room to see the only door that might contain her only escape to her freedom from Tu Quyen.
[Police Station, Tu Quyen’s office]
“What are you doing here?” Tu Quyen sits at her chair.
Minh Tuyet place two white to-go rice box on Tu Quyen’s desk, “I know you’re too busy to get yourself some lunch so I brought it to you.”
Tu Quyen grabs one of the white boxes, “When did you turn all caring and nice?”
“Always have…!” Minh Tuyet winks at Tu Quyen.
Tu Quyen opens the white box to see fresh white rice with fried beefs and crab juice, “What I’ve been wanting.”
Both Minh Tuyet and Tu Quyen began to eat. Minh Tuyet stands up from her chair and walk over to Tu Quyen; who minimize her pages so Minh Tuyet couldn’t see.
“I can’t even see it?” Minh Tuyet put the spoon in her mouth.
Tu Quyen looks up at Minh Tuyet, “You know that I can’t show you anything related to police stuff.”
“Whatever…! What are you doing these days anyway?” Minh Tuyet is nosy.
Tu Quyen looks at Tu Quyen with wide eye, “Like I said before, I can’t tell you anything. However, I can tell you that the Henry Chuc and Dalena situation is very suspenseful.”
“How is that?”
“I don’t get how she could be brutally murder and then appear at your shop. Then on the other day I saw them talking to each other in the middle of the street.” Tu Quyen scratches her head.
“You saw them talking to each other?” Minh Tuyet is surprise.
Tu Quyen nods, “Yes! I’m loosing my mind over this case.”
“Hey Tu Quyen can you go get me a cup of hot water?” Minh Tuyet asks nicely.
Tu Quyen stands up from her chair and walk to the door, “You don’t touch anything.”
Minh Tuyet puts her hand to the air. After Tu Quyen leaves Minh Tuyet quickly maximize the page Tu Quyen was looking at; Tu Quyen was looking at once again the police profile page of Dalena. Minh Tuyet moves the mouse to the search place and types in Bang Tam.
After a few second a page with Bang Tam’s face pops up with her name, birthday, sex, ect. Minh Tuyet began to scroll down the page to see anything special. Suddenly she hears someone walking toward the door. Minh Tuyet kept calm and presses the print button.
The door opens and Tu Quyen enter with a hot cup of water, “Here’s a hot cup of water added with the love of your best friend.”
“Thank you!” Minh Tuyet stands up hurriedly and knocks the cup of water out of Tu Quyen’s hand. The cup of hot water splashes onto Tu Quyen table of files.
“The files…!” Tu Quyen screams.
With one hand Minh Tuyet helps Tu Quyen while with the other hand takes the printed papers out of the printer, “I’m so sorry.”
After Minh Tuyet puts the files into her purse she fully tries to help Tu Quyen. After they finish the files were all blurred and mess up.
Tu Quyen cries, “It took me 4 days to do this now it’s all ruin.”
“I’m so sorry Tu Quyen. I should’ve have stand up so quickly.” Minh Tuyet frowns.
“It’s ok.” Tu Quyen sighs.
Minh Tuyet stands up and walks over to hug Tu Quyen, “I have to leave now. If you need my help with anything on the files, you can tell me.”
Tu Quyen waves at Minh Tuyet who walks out the door with a devilish smile on her face. Tu Quyen takes a deep breath and pushes the files to the floor. Outside her office Cat Tien sit at her desk filming the incident with her videophone, “Let’s see how much longer can you boss me around?”
[Outside Police Station, Minh Tuyet’s Car]
Sitting in the driver seat Minh Tuyet takes the paper out of her purse with a bright smile on her face, “Thank you!” Minh Tuyet flips through the pages finding nothing, “She hasn’t done anything wrong involving the police.” Minh Tuyet continues to look around and suddenly her smile widen at a picture of Bang Tam’s little brother.

“I didn’t mean to do it Mrs. Duyen.” The girl designer holds her face.
Ky Duyen holds up a stack of pictures, “You’re one of the best designer in our company. Don’t we pay you enough?”
“I didn’t want to, but…”
“The door is right there. Go…!” Ky Duyen points at the door.
The girl designer cries her way out the door leaving Ky Duyen with teary eyes as she stomp her way back to her office.
“Two top design in two week.” Truc Linh makes a worried face.
Truc Lam rolls her eyes, “It’s great for top designer to be fire.”
“Why do you say that?” Truc Linh asks.
“Don’t you see that since both Mrs. Duyen top designers are gone, she must need two to replace the spots?” Truc Lam winks at Truc Linh.
Truc Linh smile, “That must be us two because we’ve been here the longest and has the most experience.”
Bao Han whisper under her voice, “Been here the longest and you both don’t have any great designs.”
Bao Han walks back over to her desk and turns on the computer and sees that someone had aim her.
Lu Bu: Hey!

Diao Chan: I just finish eating lunch.
Lu Bu: Anything new lately?
Diao Chan: Another top designer just got fire.
Lu Bu: Two in a roll. Score!
Diao Chan: Why would you say that?
Lu Bu: Two booted out meaning you might have a chance to move up.
Diao Chan: I don’t want to rise like that. I want to get a raise for my designs.
Lu Bu: I hope you the best of luck.
Diao Chan: g2g someone is coming. Bye, bye.
[Police Station, “Lu Bu’s” Office]
“Lu Bu” closes his laptop and walks to the window; he uses his hand to push down the window covering to look across the room at Tu Quyen’s office.

“How are you feeling today?” Minh Tuyet asks sweetly.
Bang Tam take a deep breath, “The doctor told me that I’m healthy enough to get out the hospital next week.”
“That’s great to hear.” Minh Tuyet smile.
“When I get out, I want to once again be the owner of the coffee shop and you two will be welcome anytime you want to visit.”
“I guess you have thought it through that you won’t sell it to me.” Minh Tuyet stands up.
Bang Tam hold Minh Tuyet’s hand, “I need this shop. This is the only way to support myself and…”
“…Your little brother who has cancer?” Minh Tuyet interrupts.
“How did… how?” Bang Tam is confused.
Minh Tuyet throws the stack of papers onto Bang Tam’s bed, “You don’t want anything to happen to that little kid do you?”
Bang Tam grabs Minh Tuyet’s hand, “This is between us. Please don’t mess with him.”
Minh Tuyet pulls her hand away from Bang Tams’, “My lawyer will be here next week. I want to hear that you sign the paper and if I don’t hear what I wants then don’t blame me…”
