CHAPTER V
Setting: Andros Island, Saturday at sunset Date: year 2003
Swept away by the magnificence of the island and the romantic haze surrounding the two lovers, they went to a beautiful, secluded cove in a far-away part of the island overlooking the horizon. In that spot, lovingly gazing into each other's eyes, their arms wrapped around each other, and their hearts beating the same rhythm, they made a promise to one another to come back here, same time, same place, 5 years from now to celebrate the day when two very special people was given a gift. The gift was discovering their passion, the love of their lives and their soul mate.
To make that promise more symbolic, in a spot farthest from the ocean, they dug a deep hole and each one buried something precious to them - Stiles buried a small cross that was given to him by his grandmother and that he always keeps it in his pocket or around his neck while Terri buried a silver heart-shaped locket that was given to her on her 16th birthday by her father.
Consumed by so much love and passion for each other, Stiles and Terri made love on the secluded beach at sunset making the day even more memorable for these two lovers.
=================
Could not wait any longer, Stiles called Lex and asked him to go to the office and do a little research on CGD and Lyn Johnson. Actually, it was not so little; the information that Lex gave him was very thorough and comprehensive. He even went as far as Lyn's elementary school records. From the intel he gathered, CGD Studio is a partnership between an Evelyn Johnson and a Katherine McCavoy. They have 6 regular employees. It was established in May 2005 and has steadily grown through the years to what it has become now - the top graphic design company in the island as well as the other neighboring islands. Their list of clients was impressive and they have received numerous awards from prestigious firms in the Caribbean. Interestingly enough, not much information came up on Ms. McCavoy. Stiles was wondering why the name Katherine McCavoy seems so familiar, but for all his photographic memory, he could not place where or when he heard that name before. Stiles also noted that there was no data about Lyn representing an artist with the name TLS.
Anxious and intrigued, by Monday morning at exactly 9 a.m. Stiles went into the CGD office and asked the receptionist if he could see Ms. Johnson.
"I'm sorry Sir but Ms. Johnson is fully booked with appointments and meetings this morning. Can I just pencil you in for an appointment at another time?"
"No, I think I'll just wait out here. I just need a few minutes of her time"
"But Sir, that is not possible, you would be waiting for a long time"
This went on for several more minutes, with each exchange making Stiles more agitated. This did not go unnoticed by Lyn. Since her first appointment has not arrived yet, she went down into the reception area to find out what the commotion was all about.
"Good morning, I'm Lyn Johnson. I understand you would like to speak to me Mr.."
"Stiles. A.B. Stiles. Good morning Ms. Johnson. I've been eager to talk to you since this weekend. May I have a few moments of your time?"
"Why certainly, my first appointment still hasn't arrived yet so I have a few minutes to spare. Janet, please hold all my calls but inform me when my 1st appointment arrives."
Inside her office, she motioned for Stiles to take the seat across the desk from where she was sitting.
"So Mr. Stiles, what can I do for you?"
"I'm interested in one of the artists you represent, TLS?"
==================
After all her appointments for the day Lyn went straight to the house by the cliff.
"Kay, Kay honey are you home?"
"Hey Lyn, in the kitchen. Well, this is a surprise. What's up?"
"I had a very interesting meeting with a man this morning. Actually he didn't even have an appointment which caused quite a stir in the office because he was making a fuss."
"What did the man want?"
"I'll tell you in a sec. I just got to tell you what he looks like first. Oh gosh, Kay, he is such a hunk. I swear, if I wasn't a happily married woman, I would make a play for him."
"Come on, he can't be that handsome that you would forget Bob."
"Well of course not. I wouldn't trade Bob for anyone. But he had the clearest blue eyes I have ever seen. He is about your age, 6'1 or so and a body to die for"
"Okay. now that we have that out of the way, what does he want?"
"Well that's the other interesting part, he wants YOU!"
