"I'm sorry, but my client will not settle." Boses na ng galing sa kanyang likuran, agad naman siyang lumingon. "I knew it was you." Umupo ang matipunong lalaki sa harap ni Briella. "Any way, if you're client don't want to settle then why am I here?" Pinipilit niyang itago ang reaksyon mula sa kanyang kaharap. Ngumiti lang ang lalaki, "or we can discuss the settlement upstairs." Sabay angat sa keycard na hawak niya. The door closed and he grabed her waist. Tumingin siya sa mga mata ng dalaga bago niya ito hinalikan ng mariin at pababa sa kanyang leeg. "Bat ngayon ka lang, where have you been?" Tanong ng dalaga habang patuloy siyang hinahalikan sa magkabilang parte ng leeg pababa sa kanyang braso. "Hongkong." Matipid na sagot ng lalaki na muling binaling ang atensyon sa paghalik sa dalaga. "Why I didn't receive any messages from you?" tinulak niya ng dahan dahan ang dalaga papuntang dingding. "Did you miss me?" Tanong niya sa dalaga at muling dinikit ang mg labi sa kanyang leeg. Hindi na sumagot dalaga, hinawakan niya sa mag kabilang pisngi ang lalaki at nasilayan niya ang napaka among mukha nito at hinalikan ng mariin. She missed him but can't say it out loud. He unzipped her dress and it falls down the floor. He continue to kiss her as she unbutton his polo, unbuckle his belt and unzip his pants.
