Character Biography (Terrence’s elder daughter)
Name: Cara
Age: 11
Occupation: Student
Hair colour: Black
Eye colour: Black
Birthday: 27 May
Religion: Free thinker
Hobby: Cycle around the neighbourhood or park, reading, playing computer games

Personality
I’m a little more tom-boyish as compared to Charlotte. I would rather wear simple casual tees and pants even though I have so many branded goods in my closet. I also have a more straightforward character and would not hesitate to speak my thoughts out even if it might hurt the other party’s feelings. I really am grateful for daddy for providing such a luxurious environment for me to live in and I really love him a lot. If only he would spend more time with us. Undeniably I also love my little sister very much as she is the one that keeps me company when Daddy is busy doing his work. Therefore I am very protective of her and would not bear if she got hurt. And I seriously cannot stand spicy food, not even if it is the only food left on earth. I am also the kind of person that wishes things to be done the right way and thus cannot stand any nonsense or toying around when doing things.

Monologue (to father)
Seriously father, you should pay more attention to your surroundings instead of letting that scandalous Melissa take over your life more and more. Branded goods and candlelight dinners huh! Daddy wake up! Can’t you tell that she’s plotting something against you? Any idiot can tell! I may not know what she’s up to but all those presents are never good coming from her. Oh daddy, daddy… Wake up please. I’m very lonely with you going out with Melissa all the time. With mummy gone and… (sobs) Would you please just take a day off and go out with Charlotte and me to the amusement park…

I know there's something going on with you and daddy. What in the world are you really up to?! I can see you trying to get close to daddy, can you just stop it? My daddy's a busy man, he does not have time for an evil and ugly woman like you! Stop acting as if you are the prettiest woman that ever lived, cause you can never be prettier than mummy. You will never win daddy's heart cause his heart's still with mummy. Why are you always wearing such disgusting clothing to my daddy's office? You do know that it is inappropriate for my daddy's big company right! And you have this dirty look on your face, always staring at me and Cara as if we are devils on earth. Just you wait Miss Melissa Tan! Cara and I will find out just what you are up to, so watch out!

- try to forget Emily and move on with life

Character Monologue
directed to Emily. (when he is alone)

Well dearest Emily, how have you been? (shake head) Emily, can you believe this? I still talk to you as if you are here. Yet I know you are, watching over me, over Cara and Charlotte. I know you are. (sigh)
Emily, no matter how hard I try, I haven't been able to forget you. You were my first love and i believe till this day that it was the best decision of my life when i chose to propose to you. You brought so much joy into my life, and i can even name the three most lovely gifts you bestowed upon me: Your love, Cara, and Charlotte.
You were always there for me, Emily, when no one else could understand how bad i felt climbing up the career rungs on my way to my current position. I never meant to make anyone else feel inferior but my friends often joked about how perfect my life was, with you, my lovely wife, my children, my job, my money. They all dont understand! They dont understand that NONE of this, do you hear me, NONE of it came easily. Yes, I am a FIGHTER even if people think i am a laidback, niceguy type of CEO who cant stand up to people like ANDY LAU. What does he have? A flirtatious wife and ill-gotten gains stolen from MY company.
Dearest Emily, I think I should tell you about this lady, my assistant secretary, Melissa. She looks so much like you, Emily. She has your eyes. But never will anyone, even she who resembles you so greatly, even hold a torch to you where I am concerned. You will always be with me, Emily, no matter the years which drag by so meaninglessly without you by my side. Our children: I promised you before you left for the better place that i would care for them as i would the most precious artefacts in existence. This was the only thing you ever requested from me, although you always gave.
I will not disappoint you, Emily.
Never.

- get closer to Terrence's children so that I can understand them better and be there for them if they need me
- get Melissa to see that what she is doing is wrong

Character Monologue
directed to Melissa

Melissa, you are pretty, smart and you do have good fashion sense but you really should stop doing what you are doing. Although I'm not very sure what you are up to, I know it's not right and it won't turn out well. You know, there could be another way of resolving this issue, it isn't just a one-way street. Do you know how many people you are hurting by carrying out this plan of yours? Countless people! I know very well how much you hate children, since you're always staring at Cara and Charlotte as if they are the most irritating and annoying people you've ever seen. Can't you at least try to understand the fact that they are just kids? Weren't you just like them when you were 10 years old? Oh and please stop wearing those revealing clothes to work, you are supposed to wear office-wear, not short skirts and low-cut blouses! Also, it's not like your company is going bankrupt soon, it's just that it isn't doing as well as Terrence's company. Why do you have to go to such an extent just to earn a little more money? I really do not understand. But still, although you are definitely the kind of person I dislike, I really do not want all these things to drive a wedge of hatred between us. So please, stop carrying out that plan of yours, it really isn't worth it. There is always another solution. It isn't too late to turn back and it isn't as if your company's earnings aren't enough. I really hope you'll understand and do what's right.

Yep that's about it. :)

Hello Andy, nice to meet you. i admire you and i think you are a capable fellow, care to join me in my golf session next monday? i would like to know more about you. (smiles) you know, i feel kind of bad because i betrayed Terrace (sighs),i'm sure he is angry with me (frowns), however, i dont think i have made a mistake by choosing to invest in your company. do not make me regret my decision. keep up the good work and your company will prosper. hopefully you are not using some underhand method to earn money and expand your company as there are many such people in the industry. i hate those kind of people, they are cheats. i will only invest in honest companies. Do take note that Terrance's company is also doing well, but not as well as yours of course. however, please work hard and keep up the good work, there will be fierce competition between the two companies. i will be observing your company shares as well as Terrance's. knowing him, he will not give up. should his company catch up with yours, i will cancel the deal with you and invest in Terrance's company. do not disappoint me, my friend.

melissa. urgh. came in not long ago and you're already the CEO's Assistant Secretary.what rubbish.. something must be wrong.. so what if you're pretty? so tiring, everyday i have to give you something nice in order to gain your trust. but whatever. those are cheap fake goods, i dont know whether you know about it or not. but if i were to give you real expensive bags and makeup sets again and again, i will go broke, ALSO, i'm not willing to spend that much on you. there's something wrong with you.. you give off this uncomfortable aura, cunning and fake. yep, i get that kind of feeling from you. i wonder if nicole really likes you or is she just putting on a show just like me. i promise i'm going to make you trust me by the end of this year, then hopefully i'll get promoted.
oh, and you know what? i think you put on too much makeup, you should cut down on the layers you know? it's not good for your skin. (sarcastic tone)
