her this morning and wasn’t not cancer. She wanted me to thank you for the fruit basket, flowers and spa certificate for when she recovers.”
    Nicholas knew how worried Les had been. His friend only had one sibling, his younger sister, and they were just as close as he and his ten brothers and sisters.
    “ Excelente . Give her my best.” When his intercom buzzed, he ended the call. “I have a final meeting with DeMarco in a few minutes. Enjoy your week.”
    “You too. This weekend try to stay out of the office…if you can.”
    “ No promete .” No promises, he told Les as he smiled and signed off from the visual conference. Pressing the blinking light on his phone, he let his receptionist know he was cleared from the overseas communications.
    A moment later his door opened to his receptionist, a short thin, Spaniard with short, chic hairstyle. Smiling, she spoke in Spanish. “Juan DeMarco and his partners have arrived.”
    “Perfect, Melina.” He responded in kind. “Make sure they get refreshments in the conference room and inform them I’m on my way.”
    Melina strolled deeper into the office and placed a stack of correspondence on his desk with a few unopened envelopes on top. “Yes, sir. After the meeting, there are a few letters I need you to review from things that came in this week and notes from our meetings.

    “Perfect.” Without wasting any more time, he headed to join the men waiting for him. Moving down the corridor, he considered once again the delivered packet, debated whether he would accept.

    “Look at that water. Lila, have you ever seen anything that clear?” Pamela asked as they both stared out the window of the limousine taking them from the airport to the mansion.

The anticipation of delights to come had continued to build since Delilah left home. She waited expectantly to know what the soft drink CEO, Dan Silverman, had planned for them.
    The invitation had said dress sexy, so this morning she had pulled on an ice blue Bonita top with a short Caribbean skirt and a pair of four-inch strapless heels to bring attention to her bare legs. The combination was fierce. This outfit was part of her party gear. Her company had kept her so busy lately; she rarely got an opportunity to dress in such alluring apparel. She was enjoying every minute of it.
    Pamela had picked her up in her convertible Saab 93, wearing an angel mesh mini, weekend getaway dress in lavender from her employer Regal Style. The dress was so sheer her friend’s dark amethyst thong was evident under close inspection. Not to mention the fact that her friend was braless. It never ceased to amaze her how Pamela took sexy and outrageous to a completely new level.
