gentlemen to her. They helped her from the car and onto the private jet, even as she tried to contain the stunned excitement all this was causing her. It was like a magical dream and she was the poor ignored princess found by a pair of Prince Charmings, it was so hard to believe, but it was happening! Poor Midwest girl works hard and reaps the reward, Dana was so proud of herself. As she stared at the blue ocean water they were flying over, she wondered if she should have called Ma and Pa to let them know, but figured she could do it when the trip was over.
    Just a few hours after leaving her cramped apartment the plane was landing on a beautiful and lush island, the kind Dana had dreamt of many times. The landing strip was just a concrete pavement with no terminal or tower, a sign of how truly private this island was, genuinely surprising the awe struck girl. Even though she had lived in the city for years, she was basically a poor small town girl at heart. This kind of stuff was what you dreamed about, not what you actually experienced, but here she was landing on a runway lined by beautiful palm trees and little else.
    As she exited the jet Dana was greeted by a nice couple; Victoria and Hans who were the island caretakers. Dana wondered what it would take to land such a great job as that! Unlike with Greta, the group drove the short route to the villa, once again impressing the naïve Dana. When they pulled up in front of the house Dana met Mei who was waiting by the front door. With Hans collecting her luggage Mei led Dana upstairs to her room. Dana looked over her shoulder as she climbed the stairs and saw that Avery had joined the Masters brothers and the three were smiling up at her. She smiled back and turned to follow Mei up the stairs and then she felt a weird shiver down her spine. Something about the way they were looking at her suddenly made her nervous, but she dismissed the feeling as she followed the petite Asian lady.
    Once inside her room Mei said, “I hope you find the accommodations acceptable.”
    Dana just gawked at the giant four-poster king sized bed and then out at the veranda facing the ocean. She managed to say, “Yes,” though it sounded feeble.
    “Is there something wrong?” Mei asked, sensing the girl’s shock.
    “NO!” Dana replied, coming out of the swoon she felt at first sight of her ‘accommodations.’ “I mean,” she blurted, “they are far nicer than I expected.”
    “I understand, the first time I came here I was a bit shocked by this place. You are a lucky girl being chosen by Mr. Avery, I hope you appreciate that.”
    “Oh I do, this is an opportunity I plan to take very seriously. I will do whatever Mr. Avery requires to prove to him I am the right girl for this job,” Dana said, not yet realizing how true that statement would become.
    Smiling at the young ambitious girl, Mei said, “I am sure you will,” while she thought about showing her what was really expected of her. In order to get the ball rolling Mei said, “Victoria and I were going to take a swim in the pool, would you care to join us?”
    “If it does not interfere with Mr. Lyle’s or Mr. Master’s plans then that sounds fine,” replied Dana, not wanting to assume she was here to swim, but rather to work.
    “The first day of any retreat is always about fun and relaxation, work will start later. Why don’t you put on a bathing suit and meet me downstairs?” Replied Mei as she walked to the door.
    “OK,” Dana said, smiling brightly at the exotic looking Asian woman.
    When Mei had left Dana opened her suitcase and rifled through it to find both her bathing suits, which she had packed at the bottom of it. She laid them out on the bed and feeling daring, decided to go with the bikini. She quickly stripped and put on the skimpy floral patterned suit, before looking at her reflection in the mirror.
    Her svelte body looked magnificent with just the small brightly covered fabric covering her privates.
