Please see attached file for the summer outing itinerary we prepared as well as the budget proposal.

Thank you.

Fuentes: Approved.

Liao: Imagine my perfect essay piece. He only replied it with one word Zoey. One word.

Alcantara: Yes is still a yes. Why? What is expecting to receive? Compliment? Catfishing. May Liao is catfishing.

Liao: Excuse me! I just want some words or feedback to my work. What if something is off to my proposal? Will he blame me later on?

Alcantara: Director F isn't like that. And if he is, blame him instead. He approved it without checking, it's his fault.

After the hangout chatting, Zoey felt unease because she feels like she was bad-mouthing Nickel while he is not around.And because of that, she slapped her mouth three times as punishment for herself.

Suddenly, she thought that if Nickel can reply to May, it means that he is okay. Maybe her suspicions that he is in an out-of-town meeting is correct.

It has been three days already and Nickel wouldn't move a muscle. For those three days, he was just laying down his bed, sleeping, and resting.

Due to his all-nighter last Friday night, stress, fatigue, and minor colds, Nickel now evolved his colds into flu. His immune system gave up protecting him due to his lack of rest.

Within those three days, Nickel struggled to feed himself, but he still managed to reply to all messages he received. He signed in his company email thru this phone a month before that, good thing he did that because he cannot use his laptop due to his severe headache.

Living along in this country is the same as how he survived life when he was still in Montana. Just like what he used to do. Whenever he got he will just lay there sleep, rest and drink medicine. For him, sleeping will do the magic of medicines. But it's already been three days and his fever keeps getting worst.
