“Let go of me!” Nhu Loan screams.
“If you don’t promise me some money I’ll give these photos to Mrs. Ngoc Lien and your career as a model is over.” Vina Uyen Mi holds up the phone.
Nhu Loan pushes Vina Uyen Mi’s hand off, “Why should I care if these photos get into her hands or not.”
“She can destroy your career in 30 minute.”
“Who is she to do that?”
“Maybe she’s the wife of your boss and also the queen of gossip.”
Nhu Loan is shock, “She’s Tran Thai Hoa’s wife?”
“Are you disappointed that you can’t have him for your own?”
Tears suddenly full up into Nhu Loan’s eyes and it starts to burn her, “He’s married…?”
“I knew you like him. I’ll be waiting for that money.” Vina Uyen Mi walks toward the door. “You damn slut!” Vina Uyen Mi whisper under her voice.
A pair of hand from behind grabs Vina Uyen Mi from the shoulder and pulls her back. The pair of hand let go of her shoulder and pushes firmly down the stair. Vina Uyen Mi screams as she rolls down the staircases. Vina Uyen Mi finally stops at the bottom of the stair case with blood spilling everywhere onto the floor.
Nhu Loan’s hand began to shake crazily as she stare down at the dead Vina Uyen Mi, “What have I done?” Nhu Loan hurriedly run down the stair and takes the phone from Vina Uyen Mi carefully enough to not leave any finger prints.
After she deleted the photos from the phone she heads toward the bathroom. Nhu Loan continuously splash water onto her face screaming, “What have you done Nhu Loan? You killed someone! OMG! This isn’t real. It’s only a dream!” She keeps on repeating the words.
“That bitch deserved to die.” A voice calls out.
“Who was that? How did you know?” Nhu Loan looks around the empty bathroom.
“You know that bitch deserve to die!” The voice laughs.
“I killed her. I really didn’t mean too.”
“You didn’t kill her. I did! I’ll do everything that you’re too afraid to do.”
Nhu Loan sobs and screams, “Who the hell are you? How did you…?” Nhu Loan stops and looks at the mirror, “No, no…!” She slowly wipes away the water that covers the mirror. She stares at herself and sees her mouth moving in the mirror, “Hi Nhu Loan!”

Bao Han gets her stuff ready to meet “Lu Bu” at the mall, “Finally the days have come. I can meet my knight and shining armor.” Bao Han heads toward the door.
“Stop…!’ Ky Duyen screams.
Bao Han turns back, “Yes Mrs. Duyen?”
“Where are you going…?”
“It’s lunch hour….”
Ky Duyen throws down a stack of photos. Bao Han picks them up and her eyes widen, “You’ve been spying on me?”
“Not spying, but seeing if the designers I hire for my company are working or not.”
“Mrs. Duyen I’m so very sorry, but I have to go now.” Bao Han looks at the clock past noon.
Ky Duyen laughs, “You’re about to get fire and you’re asking me to leave?”
“I really have to go.”
“Are you that hungry…? Or are you going to go see someone?”
“You read my messages too?” Bao Han is stuns.
Ky Duyen smile, “So it’s true.”
“That’s my own business. You don’t have the rights to do that.” Bao Han rips the pictures.
“I have thousands more. Keep going… Rips them…”
Bao Han have begun to cry, “I’m going to leave now.”
“Go…!” Ky Duyen points at the front gate “Don’t come back because you are fire and don’t ever try to even talk or ‘meet’ with my husband again.”
Bao Han turns around, “What…? You think I’m going out to meet with your husband?”
“Then who else…?”
“You are unbelievable. Your husband is on a business trip to Vancouver and you don’t even know. How are you to even suppose to be his wife?” The clock ticks loudly in Bao Han's ear.
Ky Duyen is embarrass, “Well you chatting during works is unacceptable.”
“Have you realized that during all those time I was chatting were during lunch hour?” Bao Han throws the rip up photos at Ky Duyen. Bao Han looks at her clock and run toward the door.
“You…! How dare you talk to your boss like that?” Ky Duyen stomps back to her room and slam the door.
[Highway]
“Out of signal…? You have to be kidding me.” Tu Quyen holds her cell phone up to the sky. “If I don’t get to Minh Tuyet in time Bang Tam might be in big troubles.”
Tu Quyen paces back and forth still trying to find a signal, “Finally!” Tu Quyen dials the numbers.
“Bang Kieu…?”
“Did you find out anything from the lawyer?”
“Yes. Where is she right now?”
“She went to go see Bang Tam.”
“What…? Can you come pick me up?”
“What’s wrong…?”
“I’ll tell you on the way, but for right now you need to come pick me up!”
“Where are you?”
“I don’t know.” Tu Quyen looks around.
“What does the place look like?”
“I know I’m on a highway, but I don’t know which one.”
“Any one you can ask?”
“There’s no one here…” Tu Quyen sees a car coming her way, “I see someone.”
Tu Quyen sticks out her thumb and the van stop. The mirror of the van rolls down and inside the car sits Tran Thai Hoa.
“Do you need a ride?” Tran Thai Hoa asks.
“No thanks. I just need to ask you which highway this is.”
“Highway 120.”
“Thank you!” Tu Quyen smile.
Tran Thai Hoa rises back up the mirror and drives off leaving Tu Quyen standing with her phone to her ears.
Inside the car “Lu Bu” get himself into the passenger seat from the back, “All set!”
“What were you doing back there dude?”
“Fixing up those roses...”
“I didn’t know you have a girlfriend?”
“Just drive. I’m late!”
[Wisteria Mall]
“Lu Bu” and Tran Thai Hoa stands at the huge and beautiful water fountain in the middle of the mall with “Lu Bu” holding a big bouquet of roses.
“Dude we look stupid.” Tran Thai Hoa tries to hide his face under his hand.
“No every woman wishes their man would do this.”
Tran Thai Hoa rolls his eyes, “How long do we have to stand here? Everyone is staring at us.”
“Just a bit longer…” “Lu Bu” looks at his clock.
[Highway]
“You have to be kidding me!” Bao Han stand with her back to the broke down taxi. “How much longer…?”
“It will be done soon.” The taxi driver fixes the flat wheels.
Bao Han looks at her clock and sees that she is one hour late, “How far is the mall from here?”
“About ten minute.”
“Ten minute by car. If I run it will be about twenty, but I’m in high heels.” Bao Han frowns. “For my ‘Lu Bu’ I’ll have to do this.”
Bao Han pay the taxi driver and starts running toward the mall. “Ouch, ouch, ouch…”
A car honk from behind. Bao Han turns around to see Bang Kieu and Tu Quyen, “Oh thanks god!”
“I didn’t know you exercise this way.” Tu Quyen fixes the air for to Bao Han who lies in the back seat.
“Just… take me… to the mall.” Bao Han breathe heavily.
Bang Kieu shakes his head, “You woman are crazy! Sacrifices your self just to get to the mall.”
“Just… hurry up and… drive.”
“Is there a sale today?” Tu Quyen says excitedly.
Bang Kieu elbow Tu Quyen, “Minh Tuyet…?”
[Wisteria Mall]
“Thank… you!” Bao Han gets herself out of the car slowly.
“If you see anything cute get two for me.” Tu Quyen blows a kiss to Bao Han.
Bao Han looks at her clock again, “I’m so late!” She heads toward the water fountain.
[Bang Kieu’s Car]
“What does she want with Bang Tam?”
“The lawyer told me that she wants Bang Tam to sell her the coffee shop, but Bang Tam refuses.” Tu Quyen takes out the files.
Bang Kieu scratches his chin, “I know she loves the coffee shop, but why a lawyer?”
“Minh Tuyet is not asking nicely though, she forcing Bang Tam to sign or…”
“Or what…?”
“I don’t know. That’s why I’m scare she might do something that she’ll regret late on.”
[Wisteria Mall]
“It has been over an hour, you got stood up dude that never happens.” Tran Thai Hoa laughs.
“You’re right.” “Lu Bu” slams the bouquet of flower into Tran Thai Hoa’s hand and walks away.
“What am I suppose to do with this?” Tran Thai Hoa holds the bouquet, “Damn that…”
“Lu Bu… I finally get to meet you.” Bao Han hugs Tran Thai Hoa.
Tran Thai Hoa face turns bright red, “What are you doing?” He pushes Bao Han away.
“The red roses, the fountain, I’m 'Diao Chan'.” Bao Han blinks rapidly at Tran Thai Hoa.
“I think you’ve mistaken me for him.” Tran Thai Hoa points at “Lu Bu” walking away slowly.
“Then why do you have the bouquet of flower?” Bao Han points.
“He thought you were not coming.”
Bao Han grab the bouquet of flower out of Tran Thai Hoa’s hand, “I knew you were not handsome enough to be my ‘Lu Bu’.”
Bao Han runs toward “Lu Bu” and grab him by the shoulder turning him around, “Lu…” The bouquet of roses falls to the ground breaking to single roses, “Bu…?”
Thunder strikes loudly outside. Rains pour down crazily with the sky turning dark gray.
[Wisteria Hospital, Bang Tam’s Room]
“I’m not kidding around with you.” Minh Tuyet throws the papers onto Bang Tam’s lap.
Bang Tam wipes the tear, “Minh Tuyet pleases! I beg you to let me go.”
“Just sign the damn paper.”
“But this is the only way I can make a living.” Bang Tam begs.
Minh Tuyet grin, “I guess you don’t love your sick little brother.”
Bang Tam gets out of her bed and slap Minh Tuyet across the face, “Why are you doing this?”
Minh Tuyet laughs hysterically, “You watch yourself.” Minh Tuyet storms out of Bang Tam’s room.
Bang Tam falls to the floor and sob, “I’m sorry.” Bang Tam looks at the photo of her little brother and the files of paper Minh Tuyet thrown at her.

[Cooking Class]
Angela Tram Anh laughs, “You are such a quick learner.”
“Because I have a great teacher...” Duong Trieu Vu smile.
“Don’t put such a huge hat on my head. It will make me blush.”
Duong Trieu Vu gets some flour and rubs it on Angela Tram Anh’s cheeks, “This will help the blushing.”
“How dare you!” Angela Tram Anh rubs the flour back on Duong Trieu Vu’s cheek.
The two starts throwing flour at each other when the side of Angela Tram Anh’s eyes she sees Van Quynh approaching. She takes a deep breath and kiss Duong Trieu Vu on the lip.
Van Quynh drops the key which startles the two. Duong Trieu Vu pushes Angela Tram Anh off. Van Quynh picks up the keys and run off. Tears come pouring out of her eye.
Van Quynh’s tears and the rain pouring down blended into one. Van Quynh gets into her car and drives hurriedly in the rain. She tries to drive steadily, but she couldn’t because of the tears in her eyes. Van Quynh passes her first red light, then another, and another.
[Outside Wisteria Hospital]
“Minh Tuyet where are you?” Bang Tam runs out into the rain, “Where are you? I need to tell you something.” Bang Tam runs into the street, “I finally thought it over and…” She wipes the rain off her face, “And I’ve already sign the…”
A car hit straight into Bang Tam and her body fling onto the front mirror of the car cracking the mirror. Blood drip down onto the mirror, but is wash away by the rain.
The pair of hand behind the wheel squeezes tightly onto the wheel.
