Large glass walls mirrored the brightly lit airport priority club against the dark clouds that continued their outpour. In the wee hours of the morning, battling lost sleep Mohana sat at the private mezzanine gallery awaiting her flight take off. Settled on a large couch trying to review an article she stifled another yawn. Tired eyes ready to revolt against her severely regretted having had to leave the cozy bed and her warm stuffy only after a brief nap.

An announcement rang through the airport terminal reporting another flight delay owing to the blazing storm that had taken the city by surprise. Cocooned under the lush black throw Mohana tried to ignore the shiver run through her. She focused at the document on her screen to highlight a needed correction.

"Miss Mohana, here you go.." Jojo appeared by her side holding two tall cups, extending one to her boss she added "..we'll start boarding shortly"

Mohana appreciatively accepted the warm beverage from Jojo, when Leya approached them with a large box of treats. "Mohana darling, take a bite" Leya handed her boss a large warm cookie and then another to Jojo, checking with concern about Mohana "Why is she looking so pale?"

"Miss Mohana had a very busy night and it has taken a toll on her. But on the bright side, the good news is that the bold list course you prepared for us has been a great success! I saw the superb delivery live in action and will tell you all about it!" Jojo claimed excitedly between the three of them

Mohana gushed "Yes Leya, your hard work has been my savior! And I should feel fine by the time we land, I guess it's just the weather but this coffee will help". Cherishing Leya's gesture, she paired a bite from the cookie with a sip from the cup

"You better, it's soon going to be the most wonderful time of the year" Leya lovingly patted Mohana's head. Speaking to Jojo she enthusiastically added "I'll share these cookies with the team in the meanwhile we start boarding and let's connect on the flight to discuss on the boldness outcome" exchanging greetings she left Jojo and Mohana to distribute the treats

Taking another sip of the warm beverage Mohana checked "I thought they just announced another delay for Honolulu?"

"Yes, such a mess! But it doesn't matter to us, our flight's all good" Jojo happily informed her boss encouraging her to take another bite of the cookie

Munching on the snack Mohana enquired "They are letting us takeoff in this storm?"

"Ya, these airport commercial ones are a different story entirely.." Jojo knowledgeably informed "..I don't even understand why we are hearing these confusing announcements in the private terminal"

"We should have Sir Gallaghair register your complaint and he can open an airport for us altogether" Mohana teased her assistant. She pulled the throw around her shoulders hoping to ease the chills that had been pestering her

Jojo smiled enthusiastically "Won't that be fun though! They say these terminals are private but there are at least five businesses with us"

"Yeah they've made it private for private fliers, but unfortunately not private for just Sophista team or we could have flown right from our roof in downtown" Mohana smiled containing her wishfulness to have spent more time snuggled in her bed than their drive to the airport

Picking up on Mohana's feelings Jojo offered almost matter of factly "I like that convenience so much more. It would have been far better than being in this constant raging storm.." she then enthused "..I should talk to Ceria! No matter how shy and timid she is, Ceria can give our request to her fiancé and then Vance can supersede all voices to convince Sir Gallaghair"
