Chapter 2

"Cheers"

It was twenty past seven in the evening. Ruth and her colleagues were celebrating their triumph in a pub.

"Congratulations to all" Allen one of the colleague said.

"I am so happy today. Let's order more drinks" said Hannah.

Everyone nodded.

"So we can rest for three days" said Betsy

"Not three days. It's five days including the weekends. We can rest for total five days" Calvin corrected.

"That's nice" said Ruth.

"Uhm..guys do you got any plans?" asked Nicholas.

"Not particularly, Nick. And you?" asked Allen.

"Nothing special...but...I was thinking that...why don't we go for a trip together?" said Nicholas.

"A trip! To where?" asked Ruth

"Guys, listen carefully. We have got five days why don't we utilise these days and go for a small trip. We are not going to get any days like this anywhere near. So think.."

"Yeah! Nick is right. And also we have never gone any trip together" said Nora.

"Have you got any place in your mind?" asked Allen.

"Yes! It's Netherlands"

"Netherlands!" Betsy exclaimed.

"Yeah...I heard that it was a good place and there are also many camping sites and moreover we have got plenty of days."

"So are you planning for camping" questioned Calvin.

"Yes of course. Camping is great. We can have trucking and campfire. It would be memorable".

"Netherlands is a good place. I have never been there." said Hannah.

"Yeah! I am in" said Allen.

"Yup...me too" said the others except Ruth.

"What about you Ruth?" asked Nicholas anticipating to join them.

Ruth looked at Nora who was already looking at her. She knew that Nora won't go without her. She was too expecting Ruth to say yes like others.

"Well ... I was planning on visiting my hometown tomorrow. But don't worry, I changed my mind. I can go home any other time. I am in...." Ruth replied.

Nora hugged Ruth and kissed her cheek. "I knew that my Ruth will agree" she said.

"Enough guys... let's go the dance floor" said Hannah and stood up from her seat.

"Yes! Let's go Ruth" said Nora pulling Ruth's hands.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Rome,

"To our happy collaboration"

A business party was going on in a luxurious hotel. Many rich businessmen were present there. Some were with their families. Some of them were talking and some of them were drinking. The party was not precisely loud. The whole place was quite and only a few indistinguishable murmuring could be heard.

"Mr Divit, you are a great business prodigy.I have never seen someone as capable as you of your age." a man who looked to be in his fifties was acknowledging to the person opposite to him.

"I'm flattered Mr Domenico" that man replied.

"Ha...ha...ha...I didn't knew that you could joke. Let me introduce you to someone." he turned and gestured someone to come.

A girl in her mid twenties came and stood besides him.

"Signor Divit, questa è la mia unica figlia. Lei è una modal in Zolo Fashion Industry." ( Mr Divit, this is my only daughter. She is a modal in Zolo Fashion Industry.)

"Hi, I am Leonie Ann Domenico" she extended her hand to greet that man who was taking a sip of his champagne.

He looked at her and took her hand in return.

"Zander Ian Divit"
