The moment they met .....

As soon as they arrived at the restaurant Amor feels like she's in Italy, they serve authentic Italian dishes inspired by the tastes of Milan, each one created and crafted lovingly by hand. Guests can mix and match dishes according to their taste, but for their welcome dinner, the restaurant served: Mozzarella Di Bufala E Prosciutto Di Parma or assorted cold cuts with bufala cheese and Parma ham; Ossobuco Di Vitello Alla Minalese or Milanese-style veal shank with saffron rice; Spaghetti Aglio Olio E Pepperoncino Con Vongole or spaghetti with garlic, olive oil, chili, and clams; and Panna Cotta.

There were already a few of the guests who arrived ahead of them and it seems that the meeting is presided by the United Nations Organization because of the different nationalities present during the dinner.

"Hyvää iltaa herra Kim," greeted a Finnish businessman.

"Good evening Mr. Korhonen," greeted Do Yun back.

"Dobry viečar spadar Daškievič," Do Yun greeted a Belarusian businessman.

"Dobry viečar mister Kim," the Belarusian businessman greeted back.

"Wǎnshàng hǎo, hè xiānshēng," Do Yun greeted a Chinese businessman.

"Wǎnshàng hǎo jīn xiānshēng," the Chinese businessman greeted back.

"Goedenavond meneer Kim," greeted a Dutch businessman.

"Goedenavond meneer Daane," greeted Do Yun back.

"Good evening Mr. Eachus," Do Yun greeted an English businessman.

"Good evening Mr. Kim," the English businessman greeted back.

After a while the restaurant was already filled with guests thus Amor and Do Yun settled to their seats and waited for the food to be served.

In between meals the CEOs would discuss productivity, morale, and attitude of their employees, loyalty of their satisfied customers, the loyalty of their smart employees, sales competition, the future of their market conditions, profit, and sensible intellectual exchange. The language is spoken mostly in English thus other CEOs had interpreters with them.

When the dinner ended, Do Yun was talking with the Finnish businessman and Amor felt the urge to approach him. But out of nowhere Ae Cha wearing a maroon Danica midi fluted dress sat beside Do Yun and planted a kiss on his lips that caught him off guard. For some reason, it still made Amor uncomfortable even though it's not the first time she saw the couple displayed affection toward each other.

"Wǎnshàng hǎo, xiǎojiě," the Chinese businessman greeted Amor.

"What did he say?" she thought. "Ah..... annyeonghaseyo ssi (Good evening Mr.)?" Amor tried to greet back.

"Hahaha, I'm Chinese, not Korean but you can call me Mr. He."

"Oh..... Good evening, Mr. He, I'm sorry if I mistook you for a Korean."

"Not a problem, I saw you with Mr. Kim earlier are you his personal secretary?"

"Uhm..... yes Mr. He, although I've been working with him for 2 years this is the first time that he brought me to a conference with other CEOs."

"I don't personally know Mr. Kim but I'm acquainted with his parents and his in-laws."

"Ah..... I have not met them yet, I don't think they've been to the Philippines since Mr. and Mrs. Kim came here 3-4 years ago."

"Why do you want to meet my parents?"

Upon hearing Do Yun's voice, Amor suddenly stood up "Oh..... Mr. Kim."

"Zhè shì nín dì yī cì dài gèrén mìshū ér bùshì jīn tàitài cānjiā huìyì (This is the first time you brought a personal secretary to a conference instead of Mrs. Kim)."

"Ae Cha yǐjīng rènshí wǒmen de guójì yèwù hézuò huǒbàn, yīncǐ tā bù zài xūyào cānjiā zhèyàng de jīběn kuài yì, duìbùqǐ hè xiānshēng (Ae Cha is already acquainted with our international business partners thus she no longer needs to attend basic conferences like this, excuse us, Mr. He)," and Do Yun took Amor's hand and led her out of the restaurant before Mr. He can say something else.

"Uhm.....," Amor looked around but could not find Ae Cha. "Maybe she's waiting in the chauffeur-driven luxury Limousine already," she told herself. But when they got in Ae Cha was not there, "Maybe she has another service and is waiting in his hotel room already," she thought. Do Yun was silent all the way back to the hotel but he still accompanied Amor to her room, "Mr. He is our sought-after business partner."

"Ah..... I don't understand Mr. Kim."

"He always talks about personal matters but never about business."

"Oh..... I hope I didn't get matters worse since I mistook him for a Korean earlier."

"Don't worry about it, have a good night's sleep and I'll call you tomorrow when I'm ready."

"Are you spending the night with Ae Cha?" she wanted to ask Do Yun. "Of course he is," she answered herself.

"Are you not going in?"

"Uhm..... good night Mr. Kim I'll see you in the morning."

Amor got up at around 6:00 am and went to the pool to swim under the sunrise. But since she didn't bring any swimwear with her she just simply enjoyed the Sunriser stretch and admired the turquoise pool. While admiring the view a wet muscular man got out from the swimming pool and is walking toward her. The sight of a half-naked Do Yun is truly unforgettable, "You got up early."

"Ah..... good..... good morning Mr. Kim."

"Didn't you have a good night's sleep?"

"Oh..... I did, I..... I just thought maybe I can swim in the pool."

"You didn't have any swimwear."

"Uhm..... no, I thought shirt and shorts are fine."

"Hahaha, Amor what am I going to do with you?"

"Ah..... did I say something wrong, Mr. Kim?"

"No, you can leave during the networking lunch and go to the nearest mall so that you can buy yourself swimwear okay?"

"Oh..... thank you, Mr. Kim, I won't take long. I promise to be back immediately to make it to the leadership meeting."

They both delighted in a morning stretch at the awe-inspiring outdoor pool looking out onto the breathtaking views of Manila Bay.

"Let's have breakfast together."

"Uhm..... okay Mr. Kim."

"I'll see you at the Medley Buffet in half an hour."

"Ah..... yes, Mr. Kim," and Do Yun brought Amor back to her hotel room again.

She chose to wear a grey elasticated waist utility jumpsuit to give her casual look a utilitarian twist a utilitarian style grey jumpsuit that features an elasticated waist with a self-fabric belt, buttons in the front, and pockets to store her essentials. Standing outside the Medley Buffet, she straightened her jumpsuit and looked for Do Yun. When Amor saw where he was seated she hurriedly approached Do Yun, wearing a Hayward flannel teal suit; silently sitting on the chair with his arms folded and his legs crossed. She slowly sat on the chair opposite him.

"Seven buffet stations highlight staples and specialties from around the world, starting with a spread of healthy salads, cheese, appetizers, and a generous selection of fresh seafood. A banquet of local and international cuisines ranging from Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean, and Italian fare is served. Straight from the restaurant's own rotisserie and grill are perfectly cooked meats with fragrant savory essences of spices and herbs. To conclude each delightful meal, there are a wide variety of sweets and treats in the dessert section, where inventive chocolate creations, native delicacies, and rice cakes, homemade pastries, and cakes, plus chilled treats are on display. Choose what you want to eat."

"Oh..... okay Mr. Kim."

Having breakfast together is like looking through the clouds and seeing their love shine.
