Chapter 121: Best Gift
On the last day of the team-building program, Sun instructed everyone to do individual action plan. Each individual would write a private letter to themselves. They would answer questions such as: "Today, what contributions am I most proud of?"; "What do I regret doing/saying, or not doing/saying?"; "In the future I’d like to be more..."; "I’d like to stop... and start...".The letter was sealed and would be dropped off in their mailboxes at home in one month.
Xander enthusiastically joined in, and would sneak glances at Yera. She took the activity seriously, not looking up once. Yera and Xander did enjoy a lot of games during the rest of the program. Unfortunately, they had to go back to the City in the morning.
The group had a good dinner in the dining hall. Before everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest, the group had a final session. Xander, as head, gave a short speech. He went on, encouraging his subordinates and hoping that everyone enjoyed their trip. He continued, remarking that at the same time, they should have learned a lot of things from Sun’s team, that they could take home with them. Things everyone could use back at the workplace, along with achievable goals that would reinforce key findings from the program.
"Thank you so much Dr. CEO, for that wonderful speech. I must say that this group is indeed lucky because we were instructed to prepare a small party in the function room; so we encourage everyone to join us! We will have various drinks, and everyone is allowed to get wasted. Right Dr. CEO?" announced Sun smiling, as he shifted his gaze to Xander.
Xander smiled and nodded, adding in jest, "Just make sure there’s no violence afterwards, alright?"
The group cheered. Some excitedly went into the function room, while others returned to their rooms to change into cuter, more ’selfie appropriate’ outfits.
Meanwhile, Yera’s mobile phone beeped. She saw it was Xander. She looked around, but Xander was no longer in the dining hall.
[Will you care to party with your husband alone? *wink*]
Yera blushed, smiling bashfully before she typed her reply.
[Alright. I’m going up now.]
She was still smiling as she walked towards the elevator. She wondered what her husband was up to, as she walked in the lobby going to their room.
