John knew a little restuarant with the most exquisite chinese dishes in the whole of New york. It was where he would go when he made a few extra pennies.

''It is Alex, Alex Jenkins from Smiths Corporations. We met yesterday.'' ''Yes, I remember'', Adrianna spoke , suppressing the excitement in her voice. She did not want to sound too eager.
