So what that we are different? chp 11

"cafe or stationary shop?" she is whispering to herself in the coffee house


"Can you stop it?" A young man said "I cant do my calculation"


"Eliot!" she cried


"Which one should I choose?" she asked again "cafe or stationary shop?"


"I thought Momoko is in your group?" he said "why dont you ask her?"


"Both are interesting.. we want both!" said Momoko


"But..." she closed her eyes


"Momo.. which one?" she asked "we cant choose two!"


"Why not? i thought we will have extra marks for that. isnt?" She said


"Then each of us do one of it." she made a solution but.." which one would you like to do?"


"Erm.. Cafe." Momoko said and added "Actually I dont know. i want both."


"Argh.. i feel like dying.." she said


"When you have no idea at all, you feel like killing yourself." Eliot said calmly "but when you have all the ideas all over your mind you feel like dying."


"..." she was silent


"So why don’t you just kill yourself now?" Eliot mocked


"You aint helping." Tiffany said and drank the half cup of her coffee


"Greek god..." said Eliot by pushing Steven's arm


"What? Where?" Asked Steven


"There...." Pointed Eliot


"Omg.. he really does looks like a Greek god." said Momoko


Tiffany is not going to deny how charming he is. Everyone in the cafe is looking at him and she has a feeling she has used to it. she was also admiring his good looking until he walked over to her


"How do i look like when i am naked?" He whisper to her left ear


"WHAT!?" She cried and stood up


He laughed out and greeted them all


"Hi" Eliot said shyly


"Stop being gay!" Said Tiffany


"Is ok." Said Terrius and he looked at one of Tiffany's sketches


They were silent


"I think the position is a little out." He said


"is just a hand sketch, i didnt follow any point." She answered


"I know but.." The position was very wrong "Mayb, you people have been too depending on computers software." That they cant even draw a simple sketch with free hand


"Are you trying to..." Just before tiffany finished her sentence


"No.. no.. i dont mean anything.. my interns did that too.." He said quickly


"I got to go.. i have a meeting later" He said and smile "Btw, your calculation... the formula is wrong." He said to Eliot


They stared at him walked out to the cafe


"OMG! I didnt know he was actually looked at my calculation!" Said Eliot


"He is amazing...." Said Steven

"Tif.. i told you, you should use a ruler to draw." Said Momoko


"watever!" Said Tiffany


Terrius walked into the cafe again but this time he was with a little Chinese girl


"Can you guys look after her for a while?" He asked "Im in a rush to the meeting. i found her in the bus stop infront. she was crying for her parents."


"Can we say no?" Asked Tiffany


"Please.. i really need to rush.." Beg Terrius "Is very simple, just bring her to the police station."


They were silent


"Oh please...."


"You owe me one!" She said


"Ok" He said and walked quickly out of the cafe


"Erm, i think i am gonna bring her to the police station now." and she added on "i believe no one is willing to go with me." she rose from her feet and walked out the cafe with the little girl.

"Im going to bring you to the police, and they will find your parents for you." She said kindly


The little girl was silent


"I am Tiffany, how about you?" She asked


"My... my mama.. call me Xinyi." She said softly but enough for Tiffany to hear


"Xinyi?" She said "Nice name."


"My mummy left me....." She said and tears drops were on her cheeks "It is because im naughty?"


"No.. no.." She answered and use a tissue to wipe her tears "I believe they are looking for you too..."


"A man came into our car while daddy was driving and ... and...mummy pushed me out of the car..." She said with tears "That man has ....a knife like what..... mummy use to cut the fruits for my lunch box...."


"Dont cry darling. later when you see the police tell them everything ok?" She said and hugged her in the bus

____________________________


They has been waited in the police station for 3 hours and no one has attended them. all they did was walked over asked their name and disappeared.


"Honey, dont cry..." Said Tiffany


"I want mummy...." Xinyi said in tears


Tiffany's phone rang and it was Terrius


"Terrius here, how's the girl?" He asked


"Believe it or not, im still waiting here.."


"At where?"


"Police Station!"


"Did you leave a 20 dollar note in your file?" He asked


"What? that's illegal!" She cried


"OMG! how stupid are you!" He said "I will be there in 15 minutes"


She didnt know what to do except for asking Xinyi stop crying and her parents will be back to her. She thought of offering candies to her, but she only has mint's candy. when Xinyi teased it, she cried even louder because it was too spicy for her. she was so clueless, all she can do is to wait for Terrius.


Finally Terrius is here, he walked to the officer and said something to the officer in a corner and handed something to the officer.


"Come, is our turn now." He said charmingly and carried little Xinyi on his arm.


"Bloody hell, what did you do? how could you be tat fast!?" She asked


"Something you wont be doing." He answered

___________________________________________


"Thank you." He greeted the official and walked out with little Xinyi


"Done!" He said


"Can i leave now?" Asked Tiffany


"I thought we can go for a dinner" He said


"I dont have the time." She said "thanks to you, i suppose i wont have the time to sleep tonight."


"Why?"


"I have an office design to submit tomorrow morning and 1 cafe and 1 stationary shop design to submit next week."


"How hard can an office design be?" he asked "Lets go for dinner, and i promise i will try and think of something about it for you."


"How about her?" She asked by looking at Xinyi


"I wonder should i bring her home until her parents returned"


"You should." She said by thinking how bad the environment in the police station is


"Xinyi, what do you feel like eating?" She asked her


"Pizza..." Xinyi answered happily as if she has forgotten about her parents


"Cool, so let order it to my place and i get your so called assignment done."


"Xin darling, you are going to stay with uncle Terrius for a few days until your parents return ok?" She asked


"Yes, they will be back as soon as possible. in the mean time you will have fun in my place."

"She is asleep." She said by walked out of her guest room "Can you tell me again why will she and you ended up in my apartment? I thought you said she will be staying with you, and you will be ordering pizza to YOUR place!?"


"Because i need to help some donkeys on their assignments?" He said and look at the other 3 in the living room


"Wao..." Tiffany teased


"Anyway erm i have redraw your drawings." He said "all you need now is to scan it into your computer and create a layout."


"Serious?" She asked


"Yes" He answered "However, use Photoshop to adjust a little of the lighting. the effect will be nicer"


"Emr i dont know how to use photoshop..." She said softly


"WHAT!?" he couldnt believe what did he just hear


"is ok, lightroom is good enough for that." She added on


"Whatever you use." He said "I did not change your boutique office concept i thought it was okay."


"Thank you very much"


"Yea.. " He said and added on "The last time your uni asked me am i interested to be your guest lecturer, i rejected"


"Are you regret?"


"I was but now i think i made the right choice." He teased "You people aint stupid but extremely lazy!"

"Wake up..." Terrius pushed Tiffany and there's no respond

"Wake up...!" He cried out loud and everyone in the living room woke up.

"You guys have 30 minutes before the time of submission of your projects." he said calmly

"I have checked everything.. it should be fine." He said and sat on the sofa with his cup of coffee and morning paper

"Holy Shit!" Steven rose quickly and ran to the door "Thank you Greek god! thank god you were here or else i will be still drawing" he said and ran out of the apartment

"Thank you Terrius" Said momoko and Eliot and both of them ran out of the apartment as well

"Tiffany can you wake up!?" Cried Terrius

"Huh?" she said "5 more minutes please..."

"No.. wake up now!" He said again

"3 more minutes..."

"NO! I said now!" he cannot imagine if his interns said that to him

She cried out with tears and freaked Terrius out

"What is this!?" He asked

"I want to sleep!" She said with tears on her cheeks

"You are going to be late.." He said carefully

"I hate you Greek god..." She said and rose from the carpet she was sleeping on
