"Kyri, the head masseuse is asking you to proceed to the office now." her colleague told her.

"Oh?" she was puzzled. "Thanks Neva."

While on her way to the office, she was thinking why it's sudden that she was being called. "Did any of the customers have complaints about me? Did I do something wrong?" Those thoughts sent her into apprehension.

......

"Kyri, I again selected you to participate in a seminar." the head masseuse said with excitement written all over her face.

"Wow, it's a pleasure ma'am." the worries disappeared in an instant. "When and where will it be?" she asked modestly.

"Oh, about that, pardon me for informing you this late. The admin sent this to me just now. The conference will be held in the next four days. It's a five-day conference, it includes special training. You have to depart two days before the event."

"Five days?" she doubted.

"Oh by the way, it will take place in Stockholm." her boss added.

"Stockholm, Sweden?" she was astounded. "Oh, so far and that soon ma'am?"

"Kyri, you're the best candidate to attend this event. A good employee must experience that. You deserve it."

"Hearing that flatter me much ma'am but ..." she lowered her head.

"That spells you're turning down the offer Kyri?"

"Can I think about it ma'am?" she requested uneasily.

"Okay, I understand. You may be unprepared on this. You just came back from Bangkok, now I'm asking you to go to Sweden. If I were in your shoes, it will blow my mind too."

Kyri bit her lips unable to answer any longer.

"But if you'll really reject it, I'll be the one to go."

"Thanks for understanding ma'am."

......

The pool was filled with rose petals and floating little candles which gave light to the darkness of midnight. On the left side, a table for two was set. The foods prepared were light meals suitable for midnight snack: mashed potatoes, nachos, garlic bread, and mango juice for drinks.

"Aww! I miss these!"

"These were the foods you love to eat when we were still in college."

"Lander..."

"Have a seat. Let's relish these first." Lander pulled the chair for her.

Kyri knew what Lander was planning to do. She was speechless and didn't know what to do.

"Kyri, I love you..." Lander blurted out of the blue when the snack was already consumed.

She didn't know what to react at first but, "Lander, I already told you about this." she didn't want to say it but it already escaped from her mouth.

"Why?" he asked with slight flinching. "You have someone already?"

She closed her eyes and looked at him. "Yes."

It's as if he was banged hard yet his back slowly rested against the chair.

"I'm sorry Lander."
