he sun had just started it's ascend on the sky, the thin rays of it's light had stated beaming on the glorious water of Bosporus and the sound of seagulls had taken over the silence silence of the night before.
She wasn't too sure if she should go or not but her mind had told her that it was for the best that she did, it was after all her annual office dinner and she had to be there. The company had new employees to welcome and new partners to meet, it was obvious the boss needed to be there.
