    Needless to say, i’m kinda sad that you’ve decided to stop. However, i do acknowledge that writing lengthy paragraphs ain’t easy.

    As such, i would just like to say thanks and kudos for sharing.

    YourExcelency,

    It is really sad to see that you have decided to stop this story. I thought that your story and your writing is superb, the best I have ever read.

    Just curious, may we know what you are really looking for in seeking for support? Comments by readers in your thread? I am sure there are a lot of people reading and enjoying your story and writing style but they do not express themselves here for whatever reasons.

    Ever since I came across your thread, the first thing I do when I come here is to look for “The Scent of a Woman”. :-) Now, I am a bit lost.

    TS, don’t get disheartened by the number of views and the number of replies. Some of us are just lazy to log in to post our comments. As for number of views, it builds up over time

    Dear Ktvking, Many thanks for your response. As I mentioned before, points dont mean much to me… but my readers’ responses and feedback are very much appreciated. It gets boring when I am just going on and on with my narrating but I am not getting any indication of whether or not I am captivating a steady audience or I am just catching lots of passer-bys.

    So as not to disappoint the bros who have been following my thread, I will carry on but will try to shorten it.

    Monday

    When I woke up, Liz had already gone. She had left a note telling me that she had a morning meeting and needed to get home to change before her breakfast meeting. I got dressed and headed off to the office.

    Work was drawing to a close. I had finished up most of my work in Hong Kong and I was needed back in Singapore, where I could look forward to a more normal lifestyle of going to work at more ‘regular’ hours and return home to see my wife and kid. I was happy to be returning to Singapore but I was a little sad to be leaving Liz. I called her and told her of my return. She sounded sad but she took it like a mature woman, saying that we would still remain in contact and if she had the time or opportunity, she would look me up in Singapore. I gave her my best wishes and I left that week on Wednesday. We agreed that it would be too painful for her to send me to the airport, so we decided to just have a simple drink at the hotel lobby that night. It was rather uneventful and we did not have any more sex that night as it would be too difficult to part.

    Back on Home Ground

    I tried my best to play the part of the devoted husband/ father when I was back in Singapore. I went to work, got off work, came home for dinner, watched TV, played with my son, had good sex with the wife and slept. The works. Very routine till one day about a month later, just after lunch, I got a call from an “UNKNOWN” number. There was no caller ID so I was wondering who it was.

    Ringggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!

    Me: “

    Hello?

    Hello? Is that Leo? This is Liz

    LIZ!!! Out of the blue!

    Me: “

    Hey, how are you? Where are you right now?

    Liz: “

    Geographically or specifically?

    Me: “

    Both!

    Liz: “

    Geographically I am near you, specifically, I am standing at the atrium of Paragon in Orchard Road, are you in the office?

    Me: “

    Yes I am in the office, what are you doing in Singapore?

    Liz: “

    I’m here on business, to see my private banker!

    Me: “

    Great! When are you free? Shall we have dinner?

    "

    Liz: “

    Sure!

    I decided to bring her to the China Club where I just had my membership renewed. For brothers who have never been there, it’s at the 52nd floor of the Capital Tower on Robinson Road, Shenton Way. It offers private dining and is open to members only. My office had just renewed my membership as I had to entertain some of our customers from overseas and the environment provided the kind of privacy that was necessary in our industry. It serves many members of the elite, ranging from the top guy in Singapore to normal employees like myself. I personally like the interior decoration as it fuses the new and the old of Chinese culture and is truly a nice place to have dinner.

    I settled the wife and picked Liz up at her hotel. She was putting up at the St Regis, a hotel that I had never been previously. My Merc SUV looked like a dwarf among the congregation of luxury cars parked outside the St Regis. Gallardos, Porches, Bentleys, S-Klasses, damn, this was like the unofficial hangout of the rich and famous! The porter signaled me to park my car all the way to the front of the porch and I got out of the car to meet Liz in the lobby. She looked ravishing as usual. She had on a turquoise one piece dress that hugged her body and showed off her womanly curves, paired with a pair of perfectly matching 4” heels, a fuchsia silk scarf tied around her neck ala CX stewardesses and topped it off with a TOD’S handbag. Her make up was perfect, the colors accentuating her high cheekbones and almond face. Her hair was done up in a bun, just the way I had told her I liked it when I was in Hong Kong. We greeted each other with a social kiss and we walked towards my car. She had a little problem climbing into the SUV with her tight dress, so I helped her up and soon we were driving down Orchard Road, towards Shenton Way. I had especially selected my favorite album – Nora Jones (yes I like her that much☺)

    Me: “

    How have you been recently? I haven’t heard from you for ages! By the way you look as beautiful as ever!

    Liz: “

    Thanks! I’ve been busy lately, made a couple of trips to China and back to the US, but then my banker called me and asked me to come in for a short trip, so here I am!

    Me: “

    Wow they must like you very much to put you up at a hotel like that!

    Liz: “

    It wasn’t my choice but since its new and I’ve never stayed there, I thought I would give it a try! It’s much nicer than my usual Sofitel!

    That was what I liked about Liz, her modesty. She never saw it fit to boast about her lifestyle, though it was one that most of us could only dream of.

    We chatted along the way, catching up on the past month that we had not seen or contacted each other. She appeared to be in high spirits. We parked the car and took the lift up to the 52nd floor, changing lifts at the lower lift lobby.

    Tinggggggg!

    The lift door opened and we were greeted by a waitress I knew well, Jackie.

    Jackie: “

    Hello Mr Leo! We have your reservation for two tonight?

    Me: “

    Hi Jackie! Yes it is just for two tonight!

    We sat down and since I had already ordered our food via email in the afternoon, the waiting staff left us alone. Jackie had taken the discretion to seat us in a quiet corner, overlooking the city. This is exactly why I like entertaining here! Anyway, it was a pretty sight. As we sat there, chatting while looking out of the full-length glass, we were served our wine and food.

    Since it was a Chinese dinner, I had chosen to drink yellow wine (黃酒) for its smooth easy drinkability. The first course of dinner was the appetizer, a cold dish comprising of char siew and some shallots. The char siew was made just right, not too fat but also not too lean, just enough to be juicy and succulent to the senses. Next up was soup – herbal chicken soup with fish glue (?) (魚膠) It was pretty good too, with the taste of herbs and chicken, texturized with the sticky aftertaste of the protein-rich fish glue. I could tell that Liz liked the soup a lot so I ordered another bowl for her without asking her.

    Liz: “

    Still as attentive as ever eh? How many women have you swooned this way?

    Me: “

    Me? Are you talking to me? I don’t have any luck with women if that’s what you are trying to ask me!

    She laughed and I could tell she was a happy woman tonight.

    We finished the dinner with Liz being her usual self, her cheerful chatter and sometimes intelligent, insightful remarks, sometimes the silly girly retorts. We ate a lot that night - Peking duck, seafood platter with abalone and sea-cucumber, asparagus boiled in chicken soup and finally bird’s nest as dessert. I could tell Liz was in her comfort zone as these were her usual fare. Not me. First of all, there is nothing I like more than eating at a hawker centre, devouring the local delicacies at difficult to hunt down places. I was one to drive across the island in search of the best chye tao kuay, best bak kut teh or the most delicious mee pok. By the time we were done, Liz’s face was a bright shade of red, no thanks to her make up, but the yellow wine. She had forgotten that yellow wine, while easily palatable, packed a very strong punch.

    I asked for the bill and we left the restaurant, thanking Jackie for her wonderful service and the delicious dinner.

    I enjoyed your detailed narration, evolving like a movie (although I rarely watch movies), not simply pertaining to love and sex.

    If and when you visit Toronto, I would be delighted to meet with you for a drink and/or break some bread.

    Chapter #90

    I signed for the bill and we left the restaurant, thanking Jackie for her wonderful service and the delicious dinner.

    As I had to drive, I had not drank that much but Liz was unexpectedly over her usual high alcohol tolerance. Maybe it was because she didn’t have to drive so she had lowered her guard and drank to her heart’s content, or maybe she was… I don’t know. She was slurring slightly and had her eyes half closed as soon as she got into the car. Needless to say, she had even ore difficulty getting into the car this time and I had to help her by hoisting her up to the front seat and lifting her legs into the car. As I did so, her dress hiked up her waist and exposed part of her full shapely butt, showing me just a glimpse of her panties. Nothing trashy here, just a pair of light baby blue pair of regular silk undies. Man, this woman was really immaculate from head to toe, inside and out! I had a slight reaction in my groin and had to consciously remind myself to hold my horses.

    Sensing that she would not be able to go anywhere else, I decided to send her back to her hotel. As I pulled into the front of the hotel, I felt her awaken, she put her hand on my lap and stroked me slowly.

    Liz: “

    Leo… have you missed me?”

    I was speechless. I wanted to tell this wonderful woman that she had been on my mind when I was making love to my wife, and it had taken a lot of restraint on my part to put her out of my mind, but I was well aware of the dangers of doing so. This was homeground - one wrong move and my marriage was on the cards.

    Me: “

    Liz.. you’re drunk… you should go to bed…

    Liz: “

    No… I’m not drunk… I’m asking if you missed me?

    Me: “

    Honestly, yes I did… but its too hard to do this…

    She took her hand off my lap, leaned over and gave me a hug.

    Liz: “

    Don’t worry Leo, I am not asking you for any promises. I just want us to be happy when we’re together.

    Me: “I was rea

    lly happy tonight. I had the company of the most beautiful woman in the entire restaurant!

    The porter opened her door at this point and I decided that I had to send her up to her room. I stepped out of the car and handed the key to the porter and helped Liz out of the car. I supported her as we walked towards the lift up to her room.
