    “Yes, Mr. Guyton,” she replied, a wicked smile playing on her lips. She remembered the one time she had met Alan. The way he’d held her hand as he shook it, those piercing blue-gray eyes. A shiver ran through her. Secretly, she couldn’t wait to see him again.
    Just then Stewart, their pilot, came over the intercom to advise them of an imminent take off and request the flight attendants to ensure that the passengers and cabin were prepared for departure.

About two hours later, they were cruising over Hamilton and the long weekend had begun.

    Aurora pulled the silk camisole impatiently over her head and threw it to the ground before she stepped eagerly into the shower and plunged under the generous stream of hot water. It was as if she had been waiting a year for the relief of the hot water running over her body and all the misery of her long day had already started to melt away.

She glanced at the time displayed on the stereo. It was five minutes past five, so she pinned her damp hair up and went into the bedroom to turn the television on. Aurora was immediately floored. She stood motionless, staring at the picture on the screen as the anchor spoke.
    “Earlier this evening we aired a breaking story. A warrant was issued in Hong Kong last night for Alan Guyton, Junior Vice President of the illustrious Guyton Engineering and son of billionaire Andrew Guyton. The Hong Kong police have announced they learned this morning that Mr. Guyton has fled the country, most likely bound for the United States. Mr. Guyton has been charged with industrial espionage and stands accused of selling misinformation to Xaoping Exports, a company poised to take over Tsang Wei Electronics, one of Guyton Engineering’s biggest competitors. It is alleged that Alan Guyton was trying to derail the negotiations in order to prevent Xaoping from attaining a position within the region where they would have the resources to absorb smaller holdings such as Guyton. High ranking police officials in Hong Kong have announced their intentions to pursue Mr. Guyton’s extradition to face the charges placed against him. They also
