Rose (Kenix Kwok) walks into the family's dining room with a bright smile, "Good morning!"
"Poor innocent Rose," Gam (Louis Yuen) sighs.
"Today is her death day," Ah Yuet (Michael Tse) shakes his head.
"That's right, what kind of coffin do you want?" Ah Lo (Bondy Chiu) asks.
"Wife! Don't say that! It's not good for our babies," Ah Yuet hushes her.
"But it's true... Rose will die..."
Rose laughs, "What are you guys talking about?"
"You're going to die in the hands of Miss Man!" Ying Gei (Yvonne Lam) exclaims.
Nim Chi (Nancy Sit) explains, "They all insist that Man Gwai Fei is the devil."
Ah Nin (Frankie Lam) walks into the room adjusting his tie, "She's not that bad!"
"Big brother, you don't have your memories so you can't remember how horrible Man Gwai Fei is!"
"That's right, she will kill an innocent fly if it gets in her way!"
Rose raises her eyebrow, "Is that so?"
["Ka Yan" Company]
"Ella!" Man Gwai Fei (Stephanie Che) grabs the ear of the girl sitting at the designing desk in front of her office, "Where the hell are those designs I told you to make? You are so slow and stupid!"
Rose is pissed, "Excuse me?"
"Who the hell are you?"
"Get your hand off my ear!"
"Rose!" Ah Lo whispers, "Don't talk to Miss Man like that!"
Rose folds her arm, "Get off me, now!"
"Where the hell is Ella? What is this bitch doing here?"
Rose slaps Gwai Fei, shocking everyone in "Ka Yan" company. Realizing what she had done, Rose quickly musters up tears and runs away crying. Gwai Fei chases after Rose, vowing to slap her until her cheeks were as red as the tacky red lipstick Gwai Yan (Celine Ma) had on.
"What is going on, here!" Wong Sheung (Lau Dan) shouts.
Everyone in "Ka Yan" stops dead in their tracks.
Gwai Fei laughs nerviously, "Mr. Wong! I'm just giving a warm welcome to this... person..."
Rose sobs, "I was working on some designs and she grabs my ear and yells at me!"
"What's with the commotion?" Ah Nin asks as he and Joey (Bernice Liu) walk to the center of "Ka Yan." Upon catching the sight of Rose in tears, he dashes to her side and grows concerned, "What happened honey?"
"Miss Man hit me!"
"Athena, how can you hit an employee?" Ah Nin demands.
"She slapped me!" Gwai Fei points to the slap mark on her right cheek.
"It was in self-defense!" Rose sheds more tears.
Ah Nin embraces Rose in his arms, "It's okay, honey."
Joey's heart pangs at the sight, so she looks away.
Wong Sheung clears his throat, "Enough of this nonsense! Athena, apologize to Rose!"
"Mr. Wong! She hit me!"
"I don't see you in tears!"
"Mr. Wong!" Gwai Fei tries to squeeze out tears, but nothing comes out. "Damn it! I need to buy that medicine so I can produce my own natural tears," she thinks to herself. Gwai Fei pleads again, "Mr. Wong!"
"Apogolize now!" Ah Nin orders.
"Chris, who do you think you're talking to like that?"
"Athena!" Wong Sheung raises his voice.
"This is so unfair!"
Rose sniffs, "I'm sorry, Miss Man, for slapping you. I didn't mean it!"
"How can I let you be a supervisor if your employee has more manner and respect than you? Maybe I should..." Wong Sheung says.
"No, no!" Gwai Fei quickly shouts. She changes her voice to a sincere tone, "I deeply apologize."
Ah Lam (Linda Chung) sighs and shakes her head in disapproval at the sight before going back into her office.
"Everything is solved, so get back to work, everyone!"
"Mr. Wong! Who is this girl?" Gwai Fei runs up to him and asks.
"Didn't I tell you? Ella resigned yesterday. She is your new fashion designer, Rose."
Gwai Fei's eyes widen, "You mean I have to work with her?"
"She is very talented. You should be happy!"
Gwai Fei stomps into her office, full of fury and hate.
[Bathroom]
Rose washes her face, wiping off the tears and mascara that had smeared. She smiles at herself. "Another marvelous performance," she praises into the mirror. She dries off her face and applies a fresh layer of make-up. "Perfect," she says as she walks out of the bathroom.
Joey steps out of a stall and is puzzled at what Rose said. "Performance?" she frowns and bites her lip.
[Sze Family Mansion]
"Ivan!" Ah Lam pouts. "I'm so tired!"
Ah San (Steven Ma) raises his eyebrow, "Did I hear correctly? Did the impeccable Hung Bak Lam just say that she can't handle her work?" Ah San rises from his desk and joins Ah Lam on the couch.
"For some reason, these days 'Ka Yan' company is so hectic!"
"I thought you were happy when business started improving?"
"I'm not talking about that."
Ah San laughs, "Is the Kam family acting crazy again?"
Ah Lam shakes her head, "Do you think I'm not used to them? 'Ka Yan' has become such a ruckus these days!"
"What happened?"
"Athena hired a new accountant, who I suspect is not doing any work, Mr. Wong opened a third branch, and there's a new designer in the company today. It's such a mess! It's very chaotic."
"Wow, this sounds better than 'Gai Dai Foon Siu!'"
Ah Lam sighs, "So how is your company coming along?"
"Very nicely. You know, if you're not happy at 'Ka Yan,' you can come into my company. You're the boss's wife, after all."
"I can't," Ah Lam shakes her head, "You know me, Ivan. I don't want to depend on connections or relations."
"Who says you have to? You're my rightful wife!"
"Just because I'm married to you doesn't mean that I can't have my own will."
"You owe it to me and this family to be a wife." He points to her wedding ring, "That means something."
"I know, but I can't seem to settle down, Ivan."
"You're nearing thirty! You have to slow down and start a family... with me." He smiles warmly at her. "You know, you don't have to work so hard. You can just sit back and be Mrs. Ivan Sze."
"All my life... I've just known work. I just don't know if I can do that."
"You don't have to know anything. It'll come naturally."
"Give me a few more years. I want to wait until I'm ready."
Ah San kisses Ah Lam's forehead lightly.
