VIP Class Notes (Jesse)

I woke up at lunch time because today is weekend. After lunch I went to my studio because there are so many bookings today. I stay in studio until 3:30PM and then took Lucas to his English school. At 4pm my husband took me here. Today is weekend so highway traffic is bad so I am late. I had been waiting for 30 minutes before Jesse sent me message, but I waited for about 1 hour in total.
