April was frustrated because nothing seemed to be going her way, she waited at the airport for few hours because she received further updates that Derek missed his flight and will be arriving later but what she didn't know that he exited straight from the airway instead of exiting through the airport. After waiting for few hours, she decided to check into a hotel to rethink of further plans. According to her resources, Derek will be in here for another 2 weeks, she is confident that they will eventually cross their path. She made further calls to get more information on his schedule. First, she was informed that Jade took a private plane to come here as well. Next, she received news that Derek is at Queen Hospital, she rushed there only to see the two of them entering the hotel together. She felt aggrieved and decided to head to the most popular nightclub. She doesn't know what is her deal with Derek. Love at first sight? Money? Power? Or she just want to grab away what Jade has? She cannot believe she is in anyway inferior to Jade. All her life, it has always been Jade this.. Jade that... Your sister is weird.. are you sure you don't have her weird gene?... Your sister is brilliant, why don't you pay more attention to your studies? Your sister is beautiful... can you introduce us?... all her life she had always been in Jade's shadow. She has been mocked and made fun of because of Jade. She had been looked down on by teachers because she doesn't have the same brilliance Jade's possessed.

How is she inferior in everything when she was the one her mother dotes on. She drowned herself in sorrow as she downed glasses and glasses of alcohol. "Hey beautiful, you are that lady on the plane." April let out a burp and stared at the handsome face looking at her trying to remember where did she met him. "Uh, Oh, you. The steward." She managed to say after raking her brain. "Hehe. it's me. I'm Adam. For a moment, I am inclined to say you have forgotten me" he gave April a sad look. "Come, come drink with me. Keep this lady company" she waved her glass at him while swaying left and right clearly in a drunken state. "Of course, anything for the beautiful lady. What is the sad occasion?" "I lost to my sister again. I'm never going to be good enough." "Hey.. hey.. I see an extremely beautiful lady here. Why must it be a competition between you and your sister?" "It's okay. You won't understand."

She slumped in her seat and as soon as her head hit the table, she went into a drunken stupor. Adam found April attractive and interesting. He foot the bill and her back to his hotel. He had to leave early the next day, April was still asleep when he left the next morning. He left her a note saying hoping they can meet again and the room has been paid.

April woke up with a huge headache and was puzzled about her whereabouts. She tried her best to remember what happened last night. Then she quickly looked down to see if she was still wearing her clothes. To her amazement, she was still in one piece. She then roamed around the room and spotted the note left by Adam. Some memories of last night came back to her hurting head. Ah, the good looking steward, not bad, he has some integrity, he didn't take any advantage of me. She checked out of the hotel and quickly went back to her own suite. She decided to lurk outside the Queen Hospital to try and get Derek's attention.

Chris.

After his meeting with Jade, he went home and pondered about Jade's words. After careful consideration, he decided not to use any dirty methods to get that position and will try his very best to earn it but he if doesn't then only he might resort to underhand methods. However, he didn't think he will need to resort to that. He believes in his abilities. The news about him approaching Jade for a position in the company to Master Lu and he was furious when he heard Chris had to apply like other candidates in order to work at their company. What rubbish. Such great daughter he has. He called Chris into his office. "Father?" "You are here. Why didn't you knock?" "I did but you were too deep in your thoughts"

"Why did you go and see that autistic sister of yours? You could have come to me and I could have gotten you a position through the back door. Have you forgotten child, that your father is still alive and well? Why did you need to bother that troublesome loathing piece of garbage called human?" he went on ranting on how much face they had lost and how upset Madam Lu with the current situation. In Chris head was blah blah blah blah blah.. "Are you even listening? Are you rebelling and in cahoots with her?"

Chris was surprised with the turn of event, how did father managed to even arrive at that conclusion. "Elder sister had always been wary of us, how can I be in cahoots with her? Anyway, gaining a position through the front door is more honourable than the back door, if I want to take over this company. I need to gain their respects. Elder sister also started at even lower position that me and now she is at the top and she is respected by others." His words jabbed a sore spot in Master Lu's heart because his position was handed to him by the late Matriach. "You dare look down on your own father!!!" he roared at the surprised Chris. Chris was stupefy by his father's sudden outburst only to realise that his words were not appropriate to Master Lu who didn't care about righteousness and hard work. He only cared about his pride and face.

"Get out!!! Hah, what good son have I raised, better for me to raise pigs, I can slaughter to get meat or sell to the slaughter house and make profits. Useless. Get out!!!" screamed the red faced Master Lu. Chris decided to flee because at this moment everything else is pointless. Later, he will need to pacify this father of his.
