to rely on one’s physical beauty.” Jess catches herself and stifles a yawn as best she can. Sean looks at his watch.
    “Maybe we should try to get some sleep. Tomorrow’s schedule is extremely full.”
    Jess nods. “You really should take the bedroom—”
    Sean shakes his head. “No, really. You’re my guest, and it’s all set up for you anyway.”
    She finally relents, thanks him, and heads for the bedroom.
    When she enters the sleeping berth, she just smiles. She walks over to the bed and picks up an Italian chocolate mint that, evidently, Sean had the stewardess place on the pillow. The covers are turned down, and a vase of roses sits on the headboard shelf. Jess thinks, I know those roses weren’t placed there for Sean’s benefit. That was very thoughtful of him, and they made the entire sleeping quarter smell marvelous.
    It seems like she has just fallen asleep when Rachel places a tray containing a pot of French press coffee, a bowl of fresh fruit, and a large wine glass filled with organic granola and Greek yogurt next to the bed. Softly, she says, “Good morning, Jessica. We will be landing in about an hour. Please let me know if there is anything else I can get you.”
    Jess rubs the sleep from her eyes. “Thank you, this looks wonderful. I need to freshen up a bit, and then I’ll be right out.”
    “No hurry. Mr. Green is working on some project deadline.”
    Jessica raises an eyebrow. “Does he ever slow down?”
    Rachel smiles, “If he does, I’ve never seen that side of him. Enjoy your breakfast.”

    The sleeping berth door opens and Jess pads out softly, carrying her heels for the day instead of wearing them. Sean closes his computer, smiles at her, and asks, “How did you sleep?”
    “I slept great. How about you?”
    Sean, still smiling, replies, “Fine. I really don’t sleep much at all. If I get four or five hours a night, I’m terrific.”
    Jess shakes her head, sitting in one of the plush leather chairs and placing her shoes on the floor next to her. “Wow, not me. I need at least six hours of sleep, or I turn into a raging bitch.”
    Sean chuckles. “I’m glad you let me know. I will certainly keep that in mind, for my own personal health. Have you ever been to Mark and Bonnie’s villa?”
    She shakes her head. “Not this new one, but I visited the previous one a few times.”
    “Well, you’re going to be amazed. There is absolutely no comparison to the new one. Bonnie, of course, insisted that Mark buy this estate, and it is truly magnificent. She has a good eye. Now, here is our itinerary for today.” He passes her a folder.
    Jessica gives it a quick glance and thinks, Holy shit, it’s packed with meetings. How are we going to get to all of these?
    Sean studies Jessica’s reaction, noting that her eyes widen slightly, and then offers, “I know it looks crazy, but it’s really not that bad. With the exception of the factory tour, all of the meetings will be at the villa in a very relaxed setting.”
    She passes the folder back to him and says, “Well, that’s good to know, because it looks totally crazy to me.”
    “We do have a lot to accomplish in a very short time frame. Both Mark and Bonnie insisted on me promising to give you Sunday off so you can sightsee and enjoy Brazil. It seems you are in need of some quality time off, to soak up rays, read, or do whatever you wish, even if it’s only for one day. I promised, and I intend to keep my promise,” he says, sliding the folder back into his briefcase and grinning at her.
    Jess simply sits back and nods, slightly perturbed that her friends would make such a request on her behalf.
    The jet lands smoothly and as soon as it has come to a complete stop on the tarmac, the door opens, and Brazilian customs agents board. They check the plane’s paperwork; shake Sean’s hand, and say, “Everything looks to be in order, as usual. Welcome back to Brazil, Mr. Green.” Sean nods his thanks and introduces Jessica to
