Natalie had visited Hong Kong a few times and thought she knew a lot about Hong Kong, but every time she went there, it was always on business with Halia's father. Naturally, Halia's father only visited places where the rich frequented. It was far from a representation of the real Hong Kong.
This day, for example, she hopped onto the MTR (the Hong Kong subway) for the very first time in her life. It was peak hour and everyone was rushing to work so the trains were packed to the brim.
"I thought this would be quicker than getting stuck in a traffic jam," Sean said as he glanced down at the woman that was practically in his arms. Sean and Natalie were facing each other with just a small gap between them. Since the train was packed, Natalie obviously felt more comfortable to be facing someone she knew. Thus, they were left in a slightly awkward and ambiguous position.
