My Lost Querencia

Chapter 2: A New Dawn

Chapter 2: A New Dawn

The sun was just beginning to rise over Antipolo City as Nixie sipped her morning coffee, her mind still wrapped around the vibrant energy of the previous day. As she prepared to dive into her work, her phone buzzed with a new notification. It was an email from Molly, the subject line reading: "Exciting Opportunity: Invitation to UAE!"

Nixie's curiosity piqued, she opened the email. The message was brief but packed with intrigue:

Subject: Exciting Opportunity: Invitation to UAE!

Hi Nixie,

I hope you're well! I wanted to let you know about an exciting opportunity. We've been invited to UAE to discuss a potential business collaboration with some key clients based in Switzerland. As you know, Michael Taj and I have been working on expanding our business network, and this meeting could open up new avenues for us.

The focus of this collaboration is on enhancing marketing strategies and leveraging our expertise to support the expansion of the clinic and Taj Inc's staffing solutions in the European market. Michael and I believe this partnership has the potential to be highly beneficial.

The meeting is set for next week, and it would be fantastic if you and Syraia could join us. I think your insights and experience would be invaluable.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Cheers,
Molly

Nixie reread the email, her excitement building. A new business venture was always thrilling, and the opportunity to work with Michael and Molly in such a dynamic market was enticing. Ang daming beses na rin sila nagcollab with Michael's company but a hint of unease lingered as she remembered their recent conversations about potential partners in the UAE. She had assumed they were local clients, not realizing the Swiss connection.

"Love? Bakit parang bigla ka namang naging hyper, ang aga aga." Syraia's voice broke her concentration as she entered the room, a sleepy but curious look on her face. 

Syraia, with her chic haircut and a casual yet polished style, wore a sleek, patterned blouse and black trousers, her eyes still heavy with sleep but brightening with interest. Kinusot kusot pa nito ang mata nito nang tumayo ito galing sa kama at naglakad papuntang banyo para maghilamos. 

Nixie looked at her, her expression a mix of excitement and contemplation. "Molly just sent an email. We've been invited to the UAE for a business meeting again but with some Swiss clients. We are already partnered with Michael, but this could be a huge opportunity for us."

Lumabas naman si Aia mula sa banyo habang nagsisipilyo and Syraia's eyes widened with interest. Nixie nodded, giving her wife a confirmation that she heard it right. 

Bumalik agad sa banyo si Aia siguro ay para tapusin magtoothbrush at lumabas rin agad agad habang pinupunasan ng face towel ang kanyang basang mukha. "That sounds amazing! But... Swiss clients in UAE? That's an unusual combination. Have you figured out who the clients might be?"

Nixie shook her head, her brow furrowing slightly. "Not yet. Molly didn't mention specifics about the clients, just that it's a chance to explore new marketing strategies and staffing solutions for their expansion."
