                " Oh, Thanks ... I don't think I am beautiful...! Nguyen never has
            me oversleeping as you said. He is a gentleman, who had a different
            life from other men."  then she looked at Tuyet, added :

                " Tuyet, how old are you now? "

                " Seventeen. "   Tuyet replied.

                "  Oh,  Tuyet,  don't  look  in  me  like  that!  You  make  me  feel
            nervous,

                what is wrong with me?   "

                Phuong blushed with shame and asked :

                " I am sorry.  There is nothing wrong, but what you are wearing
            is so attractive to the people. "  Tuyet replied and smiled.

                There is a sound at the door.  Phuong and Tuyet look up the at
            the same time, Phuong gets up from the sofa, working to the door,
            and just the  same time Nguyen pushed the door walking into the
            house, Phuong looked at Tuyet, with a smile of joy she said:

                " Tuyet, Your uncle Nguyen is back home. "

                Tuyet got up from love-seat, nodded her head.

                " Hi... Uncle Nguyen, You are back home early today. "

                " Yes, How are both of you? "

                After walked into the living room, Nguyen and Phuong sat down
            on the sofa at opposite ends, looked at Tuyet and Phuong, he asked:

                " Have you had lunch, yet...? "

                "  No,  we have not...  We had  enjoyed talking, and we forgot
            about our

                lunch. Sorry, I don't think you'd be back home early."  Phuong
            had a quick look at her watch.
