Sarah woke up noon in Gerald's executive suite. She was still limp after last
night's lovemaking. She grabbed Gerald's pillow and smelled his scent, she
remembered last night how gentle and thorough Gerald was. After the incident
in the rest house from the party last night, she and Gerald sneaked out of the
party and went to the hotel where they continued making love endlessly.
Naked, Sarah grabbed Gerald's white robe that was thrown on an armchair
near the huge bed. She picked up the phone beside the bed, dialed the
number of her office in Makati.
"Good morning, Mitch. Tell me the news for today." Sarah said.
"The stocks are up! And we predict that the trends will continue until the end
of the week. So where are you? I've been calling you at your Aunt's house,
you've turned your cellphone off and you're nowhere to be found. I need to
send over some documents for our Toronto project this evening and I need
your signature on it."
"I can't come in today. I have something important to do. I have to hang up
now. I'll call you later so you can send me the papers."
"Very well. Just hurry it up ok?"
"I'll do my best...ok...bye." Sarah ended the call.
"Who was that?" Gerald said, wiping his hair dry with a clean towel, just
coming out from the shower.
"Just Mitch. Mitch Rolethine. He's one of the company's executives." She
replied as Gerald sat beside her. With one towel wrapped around his waist, he
kissed her quick on the mouth and pulled a wheeled round table where their
breakfast was served. Sarah voluntarily grabbed the towel from his hand and
dried his hair. Gerald, stunned by her movement, was speechless. He grabbed
her left hand and kissed it. After which Sarah sat on the chair just beside him.
She was famished. She ate most of the food and Gerald was shocked by her
huge appetite. Sarah looked at him and felt somewhat conscious.
