CROSSING PATHS

Part 3

While we are having our conversation, I notice Bea is already falling asleep. Gosh I think its the wine. Is she not used to drinking? I slowly move closer to her when I saw that she is leaning towards her right side. I slowly assist her and lay her down. I slowly fix her position so that she will be able to sleep properly. I called Hannah ang told her to cancel the meeting with the new investor. Move it by tomorrow morning. I told them that I have an important thing to attend to. 

I could not help but smile seeing Bea sleeping soundly in my couch. I want to transfer her to my room but I don't want to disturb her sleep. 

I went to my room and took my blanket and cover her with it. I made sure to do it slowly. My couch is big enough and I know she is comfortable. I went first to my room and decided to change into something casual. 

There is a space beside her, so I decided to seat there and used my laptop to check if I have important files to review. I felt sleepy after few minutes and did not notice that I also fell asleep.

------------------------------------

I slowly opened my eyes and a bit disoriented wondering why I am lying down and asleep. Bea's thought

Gosh, I fell asleep, realizing it after few seconds but what surprised me is seeing Ms. Sophia beside me, also asleep. She has changed her clothes.

Wait, we were suppose to have a meeting with the new client. What happened? My goodness, is it because I fell asleep, she did not push through with it? Bea said to her self. 

While she is still thinking of what happened, Sophia slowly opened her eyes and saw Bea a bit worried. 

Hey. You're awake now. Sophia said

Ms. Sophia I'm really sorry if you missed the important meeting because I fell asleep. I said while fidgeting. 

You don't have to worry, I think next time no wine before a meeting, right? 

I immediately look at her and I am really embarrassed now.

I'm so sorry Ms. Sophia. I will really not have any alcoholic drinks before a meeting ever again.

Sophia just smiled at her. 

You don't have to worry about it. I also felt drained earlier and I think it was a good decision to not push through with the meeting yet. I have received some information about that client. So please stop worrying and relax, okay? Sophia said

Bea just nodded.

Are you hungry? She added

Bea looked at her, Ms. Sophia I think I have disturbed you so much already today, my things are still in the office, so I think I need to leave now. Bea replied

Sophia looked passed Bea, and Bea followed what she is looking at. It is Bea's things sitting on the spare couch. She also pointed to Bea the window. It was raining hard as of the moment, too.

I think it's impossible for you to go home now. I will lend you a pair of my PJ's., don't worry. But you might want to call your family to let them know that you are safe. They might be worried already since the weather is really bad. 

Bea just nodded again and excused herself to call her Best friend. Sophia on the other hand went to her room and looked for something that Bea can use for the night and after that she also went to the kitchen to prepare for their dinner.

Sophia checked the guest room for Bea and check if the bathroom has toiletries that Bea would need.
