about 8:00 pm.” 
    “Okay I will see you there.”  She turned and walked towards her office.

CHAPTER FOUR
    Marco walked through the door of his brother’s home.  The housekeeper indicated that Dominic was in his office. 
    “Hey big bro, how are things going?” 
    “Busy as usual. What are you doing here in the middle of the day?”  Dominic asked with a smile; he was always happy to see his brother. 
    “Can’t I come by to see my big brother without they’re being an ulterior motive?”  Marco said with a smile.  Dominic knew his brother too well; he sat back in his chair and looked at Marco. 
    “Marc you know I love when you come over to visit but if you’re here in the middle of the day there’s a reason.” 
    “Okay, I really need to talk to you about something.  It’s about me and Monica.” 
    Dominic smiled, “You mean the fact that you two have been seeing each other for months and you think no one knows.” 
    Marco gave his brother a half smile, “Yeah I guess you could say that.  I’m still not sure why she wants to keep it a secret.  Anyway, you know she’s currently in Japan and I cleared my calendar so that I could surprise her and spend the next week and a half with her.  I just wanted you to know where I was going to be and what was going on.” 
    “That sounds great and you could use a vacation.  You’ve been working way too hard, too long.  So am I allowed to tell anyone where you are?” 
    “No, not yet, I need to talk to Monica about moving forward with our relationship.  I’m leaving tonight, so can I get a lift to the airport?” 
    “Do you even have to ask… of course… what time?” 
    “My flight leaves at seven this evening.” 
    “No problem. I will pick you up and make sure you’re there in time for your flight.”  The two brothers continued to talk about what was going on with the two families before Marco left to prepare for his flight
    *****
    Monica had been hard at work preparing for her presentation.  She took a moment to get coffee and her mind instantly thought of Marco.  She missed him so much.  Once her work in Tokyo was completed, she would be back at home with her man.  Monica continued to work for several more hours and needed a break.  She thought this would be a good time to have her assistant give her a tour of the office. She was anxious to see the conference room where she would be presenting over the next couple of weeks.  Monica called for her into the office.  Her assistant was not only her assistant but was also a translator and guide through the huge company.
    “Lin, I would like to see the layout of the conference room that will be used for my presentations.” 
    “No problem Ms. Thomas, when you are ready, I will show you the room.” 
    “I’m ready now if you are not too busy.” 
    “Not at all, right this way,” Lin said as she waved her hand indicating for Monica to go ahead of her.
    They took the elevator up a few floors.  The doors opened. The space was amazing; there were beautiful marble floors and expensive art hung on the walls.  The assistant described the architect of the building along with the artwork displayed. She also pointed out that this was the floor that housed all the executives as they were walking towards the conference room. Monica saw the glimpse of the beautiful woman walking into an office and she wondered if there were other companies vying for the same contract.  “So are there other companies also presenting?”   The assistant gave her strange look and replied, “No.  It is my understanding that your company already received the contract and that you were here to explain your company’s services that you would set up for Takahashi.”  “I saw a woman walking into the office and I thought she might be from another company.” The assistant glanced down the hall in the direction that Monica was looking, “Oh no, that’s Ms. Kiyomi Sato, the Vice President in charge
