Time: Tuesday afternoon
Location: Office

My COO, Lim, is with me in my office room. A bit of background on Lim. He is my long-time friend from the Army, we went through OCS together, cheong sua cheong hai (Hokkien translation for brave the mountains and brave the seas together), creating a deep-rooted bond. We are quite different in character: I am the well-mannered, educated, charismatic boss-type while he is those “hokkien-styled”, gung-ho warrior Chinese towkay type. When I first started my business, Lim is the first person I roped as I know he would be a never-say-die fighter type and our character makes up for each other’s deficiency. Hence he is now the second man in the company.

Lim, divorced from his wife a few years back with no kids. Even till today, he is still retaining his somewhat uncouth mannerism.

Lim: “Eh Henry, lucky you lah. Choose yourself such a pretty Exec Assistant and put your son beside me to check on me huh. You good buddy indeed.”

I look up from my paperwork and see Lim looking longingly outside my room at the side view of the ever-pretty and demure Angel. I smile to myself. I can understand how Lim is feeling. Who wouldn’t melt at such a lovely girl?

Me: “Behave yourself man. This is office. If Angel hears you, it would be so embarrassing.”

Lim: “Stop kidding me lah. Don’t tell me you are not tempted by the SYT. Tell me the truth lah. You know I won’t say a single word to Da Sao (Chinese translation for elder sister-in-law) and your good sons.”

Me: “Stop your nonsense. Tell you something, but keep it to yourself. Angel is actually the girlfriend of Rex.”

Lim: “Wow, really. Man, there goes my chance and your chance. I thought for once, we have such a pretty girl in our office and I can turn up my charm 10,000 watts. Now no chance liao.”

My heart is actually in a little turmoil hearing that from Lim.

Me: “Anyway, we have finally resolved the crisis. Now is the time to do our PR release statements. Oh yes, heard you have completed your interview with the journalist from XYZ Prime. How is it? I am going to do mine in half an hour’s time.”

Lim: “Oh my god. Let me tell you something. The journalist is damn chio. Might be even sexier than Angel. Oops sorry, hard for me to get used to Angel being your prospective daughter-in-law so suddenly. But really, that journalist, is really pretty and sultry. And the short mini-skirt she is wearing, it is so distracting when she is doing the interview. Any little movement and her hemline will ride higher. Her two sexy, slender legs just seem to go on forever. Oh gosh, and the way she smiles at you while doing the interview. That eyes and mouth. It can melt any man’s heart. Ah I am going nuts just thinking about it.”

Me: “Haha is that Crystal you are talking about?”

Lim, looking at me with disbelieving eyes: “Don’t tell me you know her as well?”

Me: “She is Ryan’s girlfriend.”

Lim: “Wah crazy man. I better go and buy $100 big $100 small on 4D later. Every girl I lusts for turns out to be your daughter-in-law. Your two precious sons got the best girls for themselves. I think I am going to make myself scarce. In case I start talking about another girl and she becomes your mistress. I am going to be killed by you. Bye.”

It's 6 pm now. My interview is delayed by a couple of hours as I have to attend to an urgent overseas call from one of our large China partner. All the while, Crystal is waiting outside my room, chatting with Angel. Once I put down the phone, I signal to Angel to bring Crystal in.

Angel is walking in Crystal to my room. Angel is wearing white while Crystal is wearing black. Both two piece suites with mini-skirts that leaves little for imagination. Two beauties side by side. For a moment, I am awe-struck by the beauty of the sight. If you were to ask me to choose who is prettier between the two, it would be a real tough choice. It's like deciding between the Angel and the Demon literally. White versus Black. Innocence against Sexiness. Demure on Sultry.

Crystal: "Hi Uncle Henry! I am here to do the interview for the recent debacle that the Company is facing. Amazing that you manage to turn things around so quickly......."

So there we are, doing the interview with the standard questions and answers.

This is the first time I am facing Crystal so directly and at such close proximity. I am beginning to observe her beauty. She is a classic beauty with an aura of sexiness. Her large, captivating eyes can smile at you and her pouty lips are perfect for kissing. Her fingers are long and slender.

Not sure where the feeling comes from, but I feel a sudden familiarity to Crystal. I can't put a word to that kind of feeling.

As we drift along the interview, my eyes start to wander around and I am subconsciously stealing glances at her long slender legs. Exactly like what Lim has said, her legs seem to meander forever. In my mind, I am hoping for her hemline to ride further so that I can appreciate more of her silky thighs.

At this moment, I happen to look up to think about a question that Crystal is asking me and my eyes meet Angel's eyes. As usual, the reserved and shy Angel avoids my eye contact but within that 2 seconds when our eyes met, I sense a tinge of melancholy in Angel's eyes. Is it because Angel is feeling jealous that my attention is fully on Crystal rather than her although they are sitting beside each other?

My heart feels a moment of ache when I feel that Angel is unhappy with me putting my attention on Crystal. Must be my fanciful imagination again.

As the interview drifts along, my feeling of familiarity grows stronger with Crystal. I only met Crystal once at the family dinner. This is the second time I met her. Why is there a funny sense of familiarity that I cannot pinpoint?

It is an unusually long interview and it drags almost to 2 hours, and by the time it ends, it is close to 8 pm. Everyone is exhausted by now.

Crystal: "Thank you Uncle Henry. This is such a good interview. And love seeing you and Angel again. Shall you both of you around at our next family outing."

Me: "You are welcomed, Crystal. Hope my next interview with you will happen under a more joyous occasion compared to this debacle."

Crystal: "Sure Uncle Henry. You look tired. Time to go home for a good night sleep!"

Me: "Yes, we had a long day yesterday. Angel, pack up and go home now. You deserve a good rest too."

Angel: "Ok Uncle Henry. And thanks Crystal. I learnt a lot from today's interview from both of you. I hope to be as capable as you soon, Crystal."

Crystal: "You never know. Sweet dreams. Angel. Bye!"

.................................................. ...................................

I drive back home immediately after the interview, at a speed of 120 Km/h, park my car and run up to my room, ignoring questions from my father and wife when they see me in such a hurry going up.

In my ears, a sentence from Crystal keeps rewinding itself "You never know. Sweet dreams." I heard this somewhere.

I open my locked drawer and take out the photo.

The painted fingernails are the same.

The lady whom I have webcam sex with also ends off our session that day with "You never know. Sweet dreams. Henry."

It's Crystal.
