"Umm...hi?" I looked at him unsure. I never saw him around there before. What was he doing at our desk? I hoped he didn't trespass. Did he?! "Who..."

"Liza!" I turned around to see Mr. Trowles. "I see you have already met Mr. Rodríguez." I looked back at that new person who was smiling at us brightly. "He is your new companion, till Sarah returns."

I blinked as my brain quickly ran through the process. Right! Sarah was on leave right that moment. And someone had to take her place for the time being. I heard some European guy was coming to take her place for the time being. So, it was him.

I guessed he and I were around the same age. He had a typical Spanish look on him. Tanned, handsome and hot(oops! Let not Ron know about my comment on him). I was never good with height measurement but I guessed that guy Sebastian was about 1.7 meters in height. Or something like that. His hard, well-built body was a clear result of some heavy workout. The dark and bright sky coloured iris was radiating a concealed blue glow. And the short boxed beard was adding more magnetism to his face. I smiled cordially.

"Hello Mr. Rodríguez, my name is Mona Lisa." I reached out my hand. "It is really nice meeting you."

"Hello Mona Lisa." Mr. Rodríguez promptly took my hand and shook them with a happy expression on his face. "Believe me, the pleasures are all mine."

"Oh, you are flattering me." I giggled merrily. "And please call me Liza. I know it's a little difficult to call me by my full name." I winked at him.

"I hope you two get along." Mr. Trowles checked his phone and half turned around to leave. "You know where to find me if you need any of my help." He gave Mr. Rodríguez an amiable look.

"Thanks Mr. Trowles." Mr. Rodríguez slid his hands in his pocket.

"See you around."

"See you around."

"Right!" I clapped my hands cheerfully. "Shall we take a detour. Mr. Rodríguez"

"Oh, believe me." His eyes were shining with charmness. "I'd love to." He smiled at me amiably. "And please call me by my first name. After all, we are amigos."

"Okay," I smiled back. "Let's be comfortable with each other, Juane."

"It's Huane."

"Oh sorry." I blinked. "I think I misread your name on paper." I took out my phone and opened the mail. "They misspelled 'H' as 'J' for the initial."

"Yes," He chuckled with an amused expression. " It's J, U, A, N, E. you have to pronounce it as Huane."

"Oh, I am so sorry." I finally got it. "Right, the pronunciation is a little different."

"It's fine, I get it a lot."

I smiled apologetically. "Don't worry I won't make the same mistake again."

"Shall we start our tour?" He picked up his phone from the table.

Wow, he was so excited! His facial expressions were like a little kid and somehow he is reminding me of Mike. It was hard not to like him. I hoped we could get along.

I woke up early and took a nice warm shower. I got two morning classes. I quickly put on my clothes and went to the kitchen. I was already running a little late so I decided to have cereal for breakfast. I opened the fridge for milk but couldn't find any.
