Fiona Turner took out her mirror again and checked her appearance. Seeing that everything was in place, she started to move towards the exit with her secretary. Halfway there, her phone suddenly rang in her bag.
When Fiona saw it was her best friend, Xenia Wendleton calling, she immediately told her secretary, "You go ahead and bring the car around. I need to take a call."
"Yes, Miss Turner!" The secretary nodded and headed towards the parking lot.
Fiona answered the phone with a laugh, "I thought you were so happy in Australia, you'd forgotten about us!"
"Australia is beautiful, but without you, Fiona, it's tasteless!" Xenia flattered Fiona while trying to figure out how to bring up Basil Jaak.
Although Xenia had told Basil to call Fiona directly, after hesitating, she decided to call Fiona first to gauge her reaction and to prep her for Basil's call.
