Name : Michelle Chia

When she is alone, she would listen to music for entertainment.

She is 30 years old, married to a guy who work as a interactive designer.

Quite a sweaty person

Michelle been working in American Express Bank for 6 years .

Striving hard every single day as hope she can be promoted to the position of Centurion lifestyle executive. Somehow, effort seem to pay off, she was promoted to the position.

She was invited to a ball event as a executive.But honestly, she isn’t fond such event and worse thing is that the location is far which going to be boring.

StoryMichelle tried out a few low back cut dress and ask for her husband opinions. After chosen the dress, she frowned, thinking of the long boring distance. Michelle’s husband recommend bringing MP3, but she refused, as she saying that the wire dangling which doesn’t look nice.

On that day, she got up and found her accessory back necklace with a note and manual on the table.“Hey sweetie, match this accessory with your dress,. You will look great. And your problem will be solved. Your favorite music have been downloaded using the USB port on the pendant.”

Michelle forgotten that her husband is a designer. She wears the necklace in front of the mirror and admire the beauty of it. She decided to test out the MP3 function. From the back, she pulled out the retractable earpiece and realize there were her favorite blue jewels stuck on it. She press ‘play’ on the pendant and music starts flowing through her ears. The music was too soft so she adjusts the volume on the pendant itself.
