“Where’s Winnie?”

“Is that what you had to ask me?”

He chuckled. “No.”

“In the showroom playing with Simon. So what did you want to talk about?”

“Our trip.”

“The vacation you promised me?”

“Uhm, here’s the deal. I got a call this morning from an architect I met last year at market. After we caught up, he wanted to know why I hadn’t sent the images he requested for the resort he’s doing.”

“I didn’t know you were working on a resort.”

“I’m not. Turns out, he told the designer he was working with he wanted her to get all the furniture from me. I told him I hadn’t spoken to her. He called her with me on the phone so she could explain, and then he fired her.”

“What?”

“It gets better.” He took her hands in his. “He asked if there was a designer I felt comfortable working with who could handle a project like this on short notice and I suggested you.”

“What?”

“Turns out, he’s familiar

with your work. He said he likes your style.”

“No way.” She started smiling.

“I told him I’d talk to you and get back to him tomorrow.”

“Where is this fabulous job?”

“The Maldives.”

“What?”

“If we agree to take the job, we get to spend two weeks at the resort and go back in a few months to oversee the installation.”

“Are you serious?”

“Yep. So what do you say…two weeks in Mexico or two weeks all expenses paid in the Maldives?”

“How big is the job?”

“It’s thirty-five luxury bungalows on a private island.”

Kyla’s face lit up. “What’s the budget?”

“Very, big.”

“What’s the point in the trip, not that I’m complaining about a free vacation.”

“So we can see the place and meet with him. He’s been living there for the past few months. And this way, we can get all of our measurements and get your sketches approved. Ky, if we take this job, we’d have a lot of work to do in a little bit of time.”

“I don’t know Sean. It’s one thing for us to do a couple of apartments and houses, but a resort…we’d be working very close for a few months.”

“Not really. Once we get the initial designs done, the rest is just waiting. I’ll be dealing with the factory on the furniture, and later the installation.”
