"Oh my!", rubbing her eyes gingerly, Petra woke up. BAM! Wincing slightly, she shouted out, "Okay Swati! You can shut up now! 'm AWAKE!" "THANK GOD you're awake. FINALLY! Do you realise how long you have been in there? I thought you would NEVER wake up again!" "Oh Swati.. Not again! You know I can't help it.."

Why must I be the one to help organise the trip?" "'cause the boss asked you to.", said Swati, the more rational of the two. Her black hair was cascading onto her shoulders, the blue shirt and crisp trousers hugging her toned body snugly. "But still.. Just because 'm his secretary doesn't mean I HAVE to..
