Celia : No. We’ll meet at my house. He invited my family to spend the weekend with his family at their villa.

Rose : That’s nice. Where is his villa?

Celia : It’s not his villa, but his father’s. I think it’s somewhere in Florida. I’m not sure myself.

Rose : Sometimes I envy you a lot. Ted is a good guy.

Celia : Come on. You just haven’t met the right person. And I think that you work too much. You should learn how to entertain yourself and enjoy your life.

Rose : I know, but I am a work maniac.

Celia : Well, suit yourself! I’ve got to run now.

Rose : Have a nice weekend!

Celia : You too.... Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing. A guy called this afternoon. He said he was your ex-boyfriend. He wanted you to call him back.

Rose : Did he mention anything else?

Celia : No, nothing else.... See you Monday.

Rose : See you.
