Henry soon reached the palace and horned. The gateman opened the gate for him and he drove through. He drove to the car park and parked. He then took out his phone and called the princess. It rang for a while before she finally answered. "My princess." He said. "I'm here in the castle." He added. She was surprised that he arrived so fast. "So fast?" She asked. "Yes, my princess. I was close by. " He said. "No problem, I will be coming out soon. Just get yourself to the seat out " She said to him. "Okay my princess" He responded, then hung up. He then came out of the car and headed to the sit-out to wait for her. Melissa already had her bath before now and just had to put on something light and then go and meet him. When she went to the sit-out, he was there already. Seated and using his phone. She walked to him, very close, and noticed. On reaching, she cleared her throat to get his attention. He was shocked that she had arrived. "My princess!" He said and stood up at

"First of all, money will be made. Imagine us mining and refining rear minerals. The money we would be making from exports. Second, we will gain world recognition and this will open doors to more international appreciation. Our country will grow beyond people's imagination." He explained. "You are a man of innovation, aren't you?" He asked Leo. Leo thought about this. The deals looked good and would be a win-win for both countries. "With your resources and our resources pumped into this project, we will soar." The president said again. "I understand you very well Mr. President," Leo said. "I appreciate that you have chosen Sam Marino as a partner for such a great vision. However, the funds you demand as written in this document are extravagant." Leo explained. "Nevertheless, I believe that if this works, it will be worth every penny. I will meet with the king and high leaders when I return to San Marino and we will discuss this matter objectively." He said to them."Whatever the

The next morning, Leo woke up early around six thirty am, and prepared to leave. By seven thirty, he was done and followed in his convoy to the airport. When they reached, Jerry was waiting for him. He soon parked and came out. "Mr. Prime Minister sir, " Jerry said to him. "Good morning." Jerry greeted. "Good morning Mr. Jerry," Leo replied."I heard you would be leaving early, so I came around. I wanted to see you before you leave" Jerry said to him. "Okay, what's the problem?" Leo asked him. "It's no problem, sir, it's no problem at all," Jerry replied. "The king just said I should give you a thank you something," Jerry said. Soon after, a guard from Jerry's side came with a box and opened it before Leo. The box was filled with money. "This is for the attendance," Jerry said to Leo. "Thank you, Jerry. " Leo said to him. "Tell the king I am honored. " He added. "No problem sir," Jerry replied the prime minister. "Please be sure to put the proposal into thought," he said to

Melissa and Leo were now on the bed together. Their clothes were off as they were done with their business. Now, everything was clearer. The romantic tension was on and deep. They were now back to their senses and had to face the matter on ground. "Babe," Leo said after an awkward amount of silence. The princess did not respond. She still had an emotionless face on and she dared not look at him, else she would get lost in his cute face and smile. Leo waited a while and called out again. "Babe." He called again. She still did not answer. He took his hands to touch her shoulder, but she moved further from him, drawing the blanket to cover herself up.Soon, tears dropped down her eyes and age started crying uncontrollably. "How could you do that to me?!" She asked him. "How could you!" She said again. "I loved you and trusted you, but I had to see you in that position." She continued to talk as she cried. Leo was calm. He took a deep breath as he allowed her to speak her mind.

Leo was still with the king when the king remembered. "Their president called me and thanked me for the gift I sent to him. I did not send any gift to him." He said to Leo. Leo then smiles. "Oh I did in your name. I gave him a royal wrist watch and said the gift was from you." He said. "Why did you do that?" The king asked him. "Well, I figured it would show that you appreciate him and mean a lot to him. It would make him feel respected and honored, thereby reducing the tension during business. " Leo explained. "Aren't you a smart smart man?" The king asked as both laughed. "It's all business strategy, my king." Leo replied as they continued to laugh. "It even got me thinking. I sent you off without anything for him. That must have been bad of me." The king said. "Well, maybe it skipped your mind." Leo said. "Good thing I had a competent man to represent me." The king said. Colton was now full blown jealous. He crunched hard to his seat as he watched the bromance between his
