No, it wasn't too late as he insisted to go but she gaslighted him into sleeping over. The power of women was not to be toyed with. Now he was being dressed to come up for breakfast, how scintillating.

    “Tell me about Mr. Tom, anything new?” Derek requested as he settled himself in the back of the car.Mario turned to speak to him. “He's a business tycoon, an elder statesman who's had his finger in the political pie for years, so I intend to concentrate on showing him our products,” he explained. “However, the second guy, Don Carlos, is the one who is really interested. He has connections with the Feds and can help us when we have issues. He's also a politician but for the Southern province.“His father was a kingpin in the game and was an ex policeman.” Raul provided, accelerating away.“-- and my hope is that he'll give us a better deal than the Mexicans. Their monopoly is strong here in the south that's why they charge so high. Because they know there's no one else to buy from.”“So you think working with Mr. Tom and Don will make us relevant again.” Derek asked curiously.“Yeah, we promised to deliver one thousand bags in two weeks and it's very feasible because we have slashed t

    She was actually confused on what to do, he may have been very crude with his words but he meant well. Staying at home and missing the party wasn't exactly a great choice but the best idea to stay safe if she wanted to be. She dabbed her eyes with her handkerchief and stood up to leave. She dropped the bill and walked out. She walked into her car with her shades on, her eyes were already red. She entered and drove off. She passed by Jetly Fashion Store and felt awkward.

    FOR THE EVENT, WE HAVE TO LOOK GOODAs a man getting dressed quickly was one of the talents we were endowed with. So whether a woman got in before you, you had to come out before her or else you lose your manly status. He smiled as he thought about what his old man discussed with him while he was still younger. He checked himself in front of the mirror, he knew he looked sweet. A gold bow tie and a gold pocket filler to match with his shiny black three piece suit, he exuded elegance and class. But even as he loved his look he expected his bride-to-be to look more ravishing than he was. He recalled the words of his dad again, your wife should always look better than you.“Use the sedan, I'll move around in the Porsche.” Derek instructed, as he stood outside his mansion.“Yes boss.” Mario said.Raul saluted and entered the other car.

    Helen and Davin both had unsaid words that lingered but they were most especially weighed down by Davin’s mother current situation. They sat at the waiting room quietly while Maya had excused herself to the cafeteria. The sedative were still kicking in Margrets’s blood stream as she slowly recovered from it, the sudden news of her sickness and then the transfer from one to hospital to another even made them question the severity of her sickness, was she deteriorating in health yet the doctors kept it a secret?

    “Davin! Helen!” she called out, her voice loud enough to attract the attention of other visitors. “I heard about Mom. Is she okay?”“Maya,” Davin said, keeping his voice steady. “What are you doing here?”“I came to support my family,” she said, tilting her head slightly. “Isn’t that what family does?”Helen shot Davin a look, and he felt the tension rise between them. “Support?” he echoed, doubt lacing his tone. “Or to make sure everyone knows you’re here?”Maya laughed, a sound that felt more like a challenge. “Oh, come on. I know you’re not happy about my wedding plans, but can we not turn this into a competition? This is about Mom.”“Right. Let’s just focus on her,” Davin said, frustration boiling beneath the surface. “But don’t pretend that you aren’t looking for attention.”“Seriously, Davin?” Maya shot back, her voice sharp. “You think I’m here for a show?

    Davin sat at the dinning table, a half-finished cup of coffee in front of him, flipping through a stack of paperwork from work. The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow, but a sense of unease gnawed at him. Just then, Helen burst into the room, her face a mix of urgency and concern.“Davin! We need to talk,” she said, her voice tight with anxiety.He looked up, instantly alert. “What’s wrong?”“It’s your mother. I just got a call from the hospital. She’s seriously ill,” Helen said, her words tumbling out in a rush. “They’re flying her out of Arctic City for specialized medication.”Davin’s heart sank. “What do you mean, ‘seriously ill’? What’s going on?”“They didn’t give me all the details, just that she needs immediate treatment,” Helen replied, her eyes brimming with concern. “They’re arranging a private jet to get her to the mainland for the best care.”“Why didn’t they call me?” he asked, rising from the table, the papers scattering as he stood.“I think t

    As they finished their ice cream, Mia let out a satisfied sigh, her face smeared with chocolate and mint. Davin couldn’t help but chuckle at her delight. “You’ve got a bit of ice cream on your nose, kiddo,” he teased, reaching over with a napkin.Mia giggled, swiping at her nose with the back of her hand. “It’s part of the experience!” she declared with the seriousness of a gourmet critic. “Then I suppose I’m not allowed to clean you up,” Davin replied, exchanging a knowing glance with Helen. The sun shone brightly overhead, and the market was a riot of colors and sounds. Families milled about, vendors called out their wares, and the laughter of children filled the air. The moment felt suspended in time, a perfect snapshot of happiness that Davin wished could last forever.“Let’s take a stroll down by the river after this,” Helen suggested, finishing her ice cream. “I heard they have a small arts and crafts fair set up along the walkway.”“Great idea!

We need to do that more often,” he said, taking another sip of coffee. “It was nice to reconnect.”Helen smiled, the warmth of his words wrapping around her like a cozy blanket. “So, what’s on the agenda for today?

He replayed the conversation with the senior management team, feeling a cautious optimism about the potential for change. But just as he was beginning to relax, a sudden jolt from behind interrupted his thoughts.He slammed on the brakes, heart racing. The sound of crunching metal filled the air.

He exited the car, already feeling the adrenaline coursing through him.As he stepped out, his heart sank when he recognized the sleek red Ferrari that had collided with his SUV.

He loved these moments of connection, the way teaching Mia helped him solidify his own understanding of concepts. After
