31 Aunt Ning meets Olivia
It was time, for Aunt Ning, to start with her plan's implementation. Early in the morning, she went to the restaurant, Savoy Kitchen, to get some information related to the crimson haired waitress, who was kissed by Wang. The other waitresses told her all they knew about the waitress - her name, the locality where she lived, about her present financial conditions, etc.
She decided to visit the locality, where Lina lived, and search for her.
----------
A little distance away from Lina's house..
A pink car stopped, customized Audi R8. The unique, weird looking, loud color of the car could only mean one thing - Aunt Ning was inside it.
The driver got out of his seat, hastily walked towards the back seat door and opened it. Aunt Ning, wearing white shorts, a loose pink shirt and a yellow jacket over it, stepped out of the car.
She hurriedly walked towards an elderly gentleman, who sat outside his home, reading a newspaper. "Excuse me! Do you know a girl.. named Lina? She lives somewhere nearby.. has long crimson colored hair.. and walks clumsily," inquired aunt Ning.
"Sorry, I don't know," replied the gentleman.
Aunt Ning walked from door to door, inquiring about Lina from the people who lived there. After talking to a few people, she walked towards the two teenage girls - who stood in the corner of the street, busy with their chit-chat. One of them happened to be Olivia, Lina's younger sister.
"Hello dear, do you know where a girl named Lina lives?" Ning asked one of the teenage girls.
"She's her younger sister," the girl replied, as she pointed towards Olivia.
Olivia turned her attention towards aunt Ning. "Are you looking for my sister?" asked Olivia in an innocent tone.
"Is Lina your sister.. the one with crimson colored hair.. and has a beautiful pale skin?" asked Ning.
"Yes, she's my sister. She just went to the seaside," answered Olivia.
"Seaside? Can you take me there?" wondered Ning.
"Why? asked Olivia as she raised both her shoulders, a little.
Aunt Ning smiled at the innocence of the young girl. "Because, I am going to offer your sister, a job. She will make a lot of money from that job. Okay sweetie?" smiled Ning.
Olivia thought for a few seconds. 'Wouldn't a lot of money solve the family's problems?' she thought. "Come with me, sweetie!" Olivia mimicked Ning, as she gestured the middle-aged lady to follow her.
"Wait! Don't run," shouted Ning, too fat to catch up with the walking speed of the young girl.
Two of them walked towards the seaside. Aunt Ning walked alongside Olivia, as she thought of Wang. 'Wang must have reached the office, already. That workaholic!' she thought.
But, Aunt Ning was wrong. For the first time in his life, Wang was late for his office. Thoughts of 'him kissing the waitress' did not let him sleep on time, and so, he got up late in the morning.

Wang at his house..
Wang's bedroom would be a dream place for any tech-savvy individual who opted for accouterments that are more sleek, multi-functional and futuristic. The most prominent feature was - a table that featured a massive, built-in iPad with a table-sized touchscreen device.
The room had a smart mirror- capable of simulating five different lighting scenarios - sunset, restaurant, mall, office, sunny day, so you could dress according to the environment.
The canopy bed had a state-of-the-art sound system, reading lights and a built-in PC. It included a multimedia system with all the required consoles that connected to a projector, allowing Wang to enjoy high definition presentations and business slide shows on the big screen. The projector slid down at the front of the bed and could easily be hidden away with the press of a button.
The bed was also equipped with a complete home automation system that had been designed to manage everything, including the lighting, blinds, screen automation, bedding system movements and other hardware.
Wang was getting late for the office. He looked into his smart mirror, that had the 'office mode' on. As he set his tie, the mirror seemed to have changed the mode automatically.. to a new mode.. a mode that Wang didn't know, existed - 'A beach mode'. As he looked, he saw a couple in the mirror, kissing passionately. It was him with the crimson haired waitress.
Wang was shocked! He rubbed his eyes with his fingers, in disbelief, and the beach mode vanished suddenly. 'Was his mind playing tricks on him?' He thought. He had been thinking about the 'kiss' till late at night.
Wang, hurriedly, put all the files in his briefcase and went to his smart table that had coffee and cookies served on it. As he picked up the coffee, there was a beep sound from the table, and the table's ipad feature turned on automatically. It was a Whatsapp message from Miss. Chunhua.
Wang swiped the table screen with his pointer finger to turn on the Whatsapp application and started the chat.

Chunhua: How about a cup of coffee before office? đ
Wang: Already too late! Better to have the coffee in the office.
Chunhua: So rude! đ
