Bobby's business flourishes and prospers. Now that he is comfortable and successful, he decides to expand his business in Australia. He seizes this opportunity to get engaged to his childhood sweetheart, Kristina.
Whilst Bobby's business prospers, he decides to transfer Jerome De Souza to assist him in Singapore. Jerome descends from a well-respected Eurasian family and is much loved by Bobby's family.
Ah Hiang's (Nya Mary's faithful and long-serving servant) health is deteriorating due to old age. As such, the family engages a new servant to assist her with the household chores.
Whilst working on an overseas trip, Bobby gets acquainted with Nya Melor - a true-blue Peranakan. Both Nya Melor and her parents were charmed by Bobby's success and sincerity. Bobby gives a sandalwood fan as a present to Nya Melor. This fan has a special significance as the story unfolds.
