Cassie selected the most secluded table for couples.
"Erik, about last night, it was really an honest mistake. The waiter was fired." Her voice faltered.
Erik looked at her thoughtfully.
"Don't think too much. It is already in the past." He said indifferently.
Cassie sought his eyes. She reached out to touch his hand but he lifted it and took out a cigarette.
"Are you going back tomorrow?"
"Yes, after the conference we will head straight to the airport."
Cassie appeared melancholic. "Is there no chance for us to see each other tomorrow?"
Erik lighted his cigarette and just let it burn.
"No Cassie. We will be busy the whole day."
Cassie leaned closer to Erik. She looked at him with pleading eyes and said in a coquettish voice.
"Can you spend the night with me?"
Erik was taken aback by what she said. He was seeing her in a different light.
Cassie panicked when she noted Erik's reaction.
