Stella, This is Harry, I never got your call. I'll be in the city for a meeting this Friday, if you have time I would like to see you again and have dinner. (Recording stop).
Harry, he is really persuasive. Either He is the kind of guy, a girl can bring home to meet her father, or have sex in the back of her car, and forget the next day.
Stella you have a meeting at 9 am with a client for your deposition on Monday. My secretary reminded me with a pink post it note on my desk.
I hate pink I told her not to do this, but everytime her mind is like jelly, she keeps forgetting things. It's like all my words keeps bouncing back to me. If her father is not my boss I would have fired her a long time ago.
I rang Janet on the phone, get me Mr. Davis. And kick the habit of leaving this putrid colored postits or you won't have a desk to put it onto because you'll be working in the countryside law office at the corner of God knows where. Tell your father I am a partner of this company and I worked my ass off, for the last 10 years to get here. And get me coffee. I put down the phone as hard as I could to let her know I was ticked off by the fucking rose colored postit notes.
Yes, Ms. Stella I am on it. She whispered under her breath.
My hot coffee arrived 10 minutes later.
After my meeting I got a call from Harry, again. This time I finally said Yes to his Invitation.
Hi I'm Stella, is this seat available?
I was inquiring, nicely to this guy I haven't met before. I was having a panic attack, my Dad was hospitalised. We had a fight before my big court hearing.
I hope you don't mind me asking. I don't do well in coach. I was lucky there is even a seat on this plane, at this hour, and first class.
Harry, Harry Yi, I believe this seat is available.
Make yourself at home. He said.
God he smells good, if I haven't broken up with my fiancé only a month ago. Stella thought to herself.
This is the captain speaking. Flight 143 is commencing shortly, cabin crew prepare for the take off, all seatbelts must be fastened. Our time is 8pm bound to Seattle, the weather is Cloudy, with a bit of drizzle.
Please stay on your seats and enjoy the flight.
Tonight we have entertainment and refreshments to keep
you all safe and sound.
So Harry, where are you headed?, I asked this guy beside me.
I have a business meeting here, my flights delayed. I'm glad this one opened up so here I am returning to Shanghai, catching a connecting flight to Seattle. He reasoned that due to bad weather he is on this flight with me.
I am listening intently. I get that he is Chinese and his accent tells me he lived in America for a long time.
There is something familiar about him, as if I have met him before. He's telling me he works for a big design and construction company in China, when the captain announced the two winners.
Tonight we have a special treat, for a winner or winners who are here on board as we have been doing for the last 82 years, we surprise them with free flight tickets, they can use it anywhere in the world, or for this flight in first class. Anyway they like. Today is April 3rd our 83rd anniversary if your birthday is today, then your flight is on us. That's right it is free.
Oh my, what a lucky night this has become, Harry figured. Got a pretty lady beside me and now the flight is free. Xièxiė Virgin Atlantic. We ordered a champagne bottle, and chatted the night away.
