Ira's heart was pounding fast. 'How can I persuade her to give up her job?' She bowed her head and sipped her drink. Her tense face, eyebrows wrinkled, fortunately, it did not fall in the eyes of Reeya.
Thinking of something, she raised her head and said with a smile, "Reeya, How about taking a leave for a week? Let's go for a trip?" Ira urged her. "Come on.." She tried her best to sound lively, but a tinge of anxiousness leaked. She seemed desperate now, and her usually calm demeanour was slowly cracking.
Reeya looked helpless, "I can't take a long leave. But I can meet you at any time. My Boss is cool. Like I have said before, I have to be in reach all the time. See my pager, it starts ringings any bloody time." She wanted a vacation too. Even she wanted a break once in a while after all.
