"Look, How come her picture is here" Chairman Ng halted his hand to open his office door when he heard female voice inside his office.

"This is that Miss, right ?" a male voice could be heard.

"Yes, it's her. She must be very pretty now" this time was a female voice but he recognised it was different from the first one

"What are you holding" Chairman Ng opened his office with a loud bang. He saw the frightened lady put a torn picture on his desk while the other two next to her were trembled.

"I am sorry Sir. I just found it on the floor. It stuck underneat the table" The lady voice trembled.

Chairman Ng eyes narrowed, he was startled to see it was Xinxin picture when she was in highschool. She looked cute with her two dimples. That picture was the only one he had and had been ripped apart more than two years ago when He received those embrassing picture. "Do you know her ?" Chairman Ng swept glanced on three middle age cleaner on his room

"My husband, me and some other here were used to work as cleaner in Han corporation. This yound lady was often come there to bring food for young master Han after hour"

Another lady smiled "I remember this girl didn't talk much but always greeted us politely. She was very pitiful. Young master Han was always dissatisfied , rude and yelled at her all the time"

"True. But lucky she came that night. she was able to know those people real face. It was sad day for her but I guessed it's better" a middle age male cleaner said

"What do you mean ?" Chairman Ng cold voice rang.

The man spoke while vaccuming"Young master Han current fiancee was that girl bestfrien. They had been cheating behind her for ages. Han family were scheming behind her. I overheard their conversation for many time, what basicly happen was the girls' father was very rich, they were nice to her in front of her father for reason"

"It's good that she broke up with him. I saw on the Gossip magazine that My daughter bought about the couple. Tsc what a fake" one of the lady sneered.

"True, true. But I heard by my own ear that Young master Hand and his mother weren't pleased that the girl dumped his first, it supposed to be him that dumped her. They planned something to take revenge. They aaid they were going to make her wouldn't be able to face anyone else and committed suicide" The male cleaner shook his head helplessly

"I hope she is fine. Poor girl" the ladies shook their head with gloomy eyes

three of the cleaner left the room as they job was done. Chairman Ng walked unsteady to his desk then sank on his expensive chair. He closed his eyes for minute or two before rubbing them then took the picture. He stared to the cute smile that he never paid attention before.

"What had happened ? can those cleaner be trusted ? Han sen is my friend, it's impossible for him to do any cruelty to my daughter" Chairman Ng muttered lowly.
