Nandi discreetly looked at the man sitting beside her at a bar. "He is well-dressed, and has an expensive watch on his wrist. He must be loaded," she thought to herself. A few minutes later, the man left the counter to collect his drink, and left his phone behind. "Now's my chance," she mused. She swiftly grabbed his phone and took a selfie, which she set as his wallpaper. Seeing the man go to his table to join his wife, Nandi smirked and stormed towards that table.
"Babe, who is this lady? Are you cheating on me?" she yelled. She then brandished the man's phone.
"Look at his phone. He loves me. He even set my photo as his wallpaper," she continued. The man's wife picked up the phone, her eyes widening as she saw the image.
"What? I don't know how this happened," the man shouted in shock. His wife turned and walked away angrily. Nandi let out a devious smile. "Soon, all his money will be mine," she thought to herself.
"What do you want? Why are you doing this?" the man yelled, grabbing Nandi's arm. She grinned discreetly, convinced that her plan was working.
"Help, this man hit me. He abused me," she suddenly screamed, knowing that people were watching. Gasps filled the restaurant as people turned to look. Suddenly, a police officer rushed in. Nandi immediately played the victim.
"Officer, arrest him. I demand compensation," she said in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear. But instead, the officer snapped handcuffs onto her wrists.
"What is the meaning of this? You're evil," she shrieked. "No," a voice cut in. "You are evil. And finally, we got you." Nandi was shocked to see the man's wife. The man suddenly brandished his police badge.
"I'm Senior Investigation Officer Igor Yiu Yat-san from Kowloon West Police Division and this is my colleague Senior Investigation Officer Frances Fong Suk-kwan. Nandi Lau Tze-wah, you're under arrest for fraud," the man announced. Frances held up her phone. "We've received similar reports of fraud with the same modus operandi," she added. "All the victims have positively identifed you as the person who had defrauded them. I also have CCTV footage of your crime. There is enough evidence to charge you in court." Hearing this, Nandi's face turned pale. Frances eyed her.
"Next time, try an honest job instead of trying to defraud others as a gold-digger. Maybe you might be a good actor, before a stint in jail," she said and turned to Igor and the police officer, continuing, "Take this fraudster to custody." With that, Nandi was led away, putting an end to her cheating spree.
