When are you coming home, Son?

Why will she require Condoms in Country N? She is a virgin girl. She is not planning to lose her virginity during her stay there. Why would she purchase condoms?

She decided to thank Sam first for the list.

"Thank you, Sam. I have gone through the list, it will be really helpful."

"Do you have anything else to say about this list? Is there any item that I have included in the list or should not be on the list?"

Sam purposely asked this question. He had finished his dinner and had retired to his room.

"I have not checked every item on the list. I will let you know if I find anything later."

"Then, Why don't you scan all items one by one ?" He was not planning to let go of this chance to tease her. He had observed that she gets nervous very easily whenever she talks to him. He has to make his sweetheart comfortable with him.

"Argh...I am about to sleep now. How about Scanning the list tomorrow?"

"Okay, Sounds good. By the way, buy me 5 boxes of item no 27 from the list. You don't need to consider my preference."

Christine does not need to check the list, she already knew about this item no.27.This guy is shameless and pervert, hooligan. He is asking her to purchase that item.

Sam had a broad smile on his face. He would see if this lady will dare to buy that thing for him. Christine could not fall to sleep until 1 in the morning. She was tossing and turning in the bed but could not sleep. It's all because of Sam. He is wolf in Sheep's clothing. Who would have imagined that behind his serious face, he is an utter shameless guy? Humph, she is not going to buy it. She will ignore his messages too.

In the morning, She had big dark circles under her eyes. She applied thick makeup to cover them. She finished her daily morning routine and had a quick breakfast in her apartment. She had made herself chicken sausages, Pancakes,2 Hard-boiled eggs and poured a glass of milk. Her roommates were nowhere to be seen. Good, she does not wish to see their faces in the morning. She left her apartment at 8 o'clock. There was a big queue outside consulate office but she still managed to get her visa stamped by noon. She hailed a cab to her office.

She was not going to show her face in the projecting bay. She will follow Sam's arrangements. She went straight to Global travel desk, they scanned her passport and work Visa. They asked her to collect currency from forex department. Sam had mentioned this in his list so she filled the required amount in form and submitted to the team. They gave her Country N local currency in the required denominations for Christine's convenience.

She had applied leave for today. She would not show her face in the cafeteria just in case she bumps into her colleagues from her project.

After completing her work in the office, She came outside the office to a roadside stall. The owner of this roadside stall was a middle-aged lady.

It was said that a few years back, She lost her husband and son in an accident. After which she had opened this shop to make a living.

Sometimes, Sandra, Christine and Sean are bored with cafeteria food, they would come to this stall for Lunch. They were sympathetic towards aunty's situation so whenever aunty was not very busy, they would stay back a few more minutes to chat with her. Aunty saw Christine coming to her stall alone.

"Christine, You are alone today. Where are those two?"

"They had their lunch in the cafeteria. I am on leave today, Aunty. I am going to another country for work next week. I will be gone for 3 years. I will miss you and your food."

"Oh, Christine. I will miss you too. It's good that you are getting an opportunity to grow in your career. Let me make your favourite food today."

Aunty prepared her favourite dishes- Chicken stir fry with Rice noodles, Eggplant curry and Simple fish soup. Food was delicious so it aroused Christine's appetite, she finished all dishes.

"Christine, Take good care of your health. Visit me when you come home on a vacation."

Initially, Aunty refused to take money from Christine but Christine still convinced her to accept the money. Aunty then reluctantly accepted the cash. Christine thanked aunty, waved her goodbye and left for home .
