Happy hearty supper. Almost everyone enjoyed the special meal prepared and cooked by Chef Paul Linaeus with the help of Jerry Vitug. They all give the duo warm compliments and they toast their sparkling wine of champagne. Few conversations. Some serious other topic not to be taken seriously.

Marie went to her cabin and on logged in to her laptop. She had messages from Theresa and Olivia. Here 's their one on one chat messages:

Theresa: Hi there Marie. How are you? I forgot the key at the Villa. I'll be back in 2 days. Vacation is over for me. I had enough.
Marie: Oh, did you forget the key to the Villa? How come?
Theresa: Yeah I know. Do you have a spare key?
Marie: I'm on a holiday right now. There is a spare key at the lobby and you can inquire the secretary to help you around.
Theresa: Good then. Thanks a lot Marie.
Marie: Your welcome.

Conversation with Olivia:

Olivia: Hey Marie how's life over there?
Marie: Not that bad. How's life in Japan?
Olivia: Pretty good. I enjoyed studying here. Too bad it's only for one month. By the way I have to go back at the Villa just to let you know.
Marie : You have the key, right?
Olivia: Oh you bet I do.
Marie: I'm on a holiday aboard the yacht and if you need something else don't hesitate to call me through my cellphone. Okay?
Olivia: That's right. Thanks Marie.

Marie climbed to the upper deck once again and joined the group until 12 midnight. Sightseeing under the moonlight , the sky is simply dark with millions of stars twinkling and sparkling in delight. The guys had their karaoke singing, the women moved away to have another chat in the far corner of the yacht.
