" Arielle are you there" I didn't realize he has been talking to me over the phone, for a minute I was lost in my own thoughts " ye...yes I can hear you Mr Drey" I managed to say. " I was asking how was your holidays Hope you made the best of it? He said, "yes I did, thank you for your kind gesture" . " My kind gesture? He sounded a bit surprised " yes you extended my stay to a week, that was kind of you" I said as I fumbled with the pillow with a smiley face....."oh it's nothing Arielle, your health is important to me.
