Capítulo 14: Not at that Elsewhere Yet

“Good morning, Ben! Got a minute?”

Ben was reading a document but slowly placed it down when he saw Cyd standing at his office doorway. He then nodded and waved at her to come in.

Cyd looked at Ben and noticed that he looked a bit tired; he must have worked late the night before. She then forced a big smile and started talking.

"I've got a surprise for you. Something that you'd thank me for. Something that I may ask a big favor in return. Something that you'll agree to because my surprise is just that great! Would you like to guess what my surprise is?”

Ben looked at her quizzically and wryly said, “I have a feeling that you’re going to tell me anyway, whether I ask you or not. So, I’ll just hold my breath and hope that you’d tell me within the next four minutes before I pass out. Out with it, Cyd.”
