A year later Linda had opened another branch of her beauty salon and spa in another part of the country. This one was much bigger than the first one she had in the capital city. She had always wanted to open a beauty spa as well but she wanted a place that was faraway from the noise and the busy streets the city presented. So, when she found the perfect spot for it, she did not waste time at all. She was planning on holding a small ceremony to officially open her new place, so she started sending out invitations to all her friends. Fred, was the first one to receive an invite. He was very happy that Linda was doing well with her business, but, his boss was sending him on an assignment in another region on the day before the ceremony. So, he would not be able to make it to the event. Fred
