Leo got the information that he was late for the party already, so he had to get prepared. He had his bath once again and got dressed. He dressed in a half jacket and wore an as to match the culture of the country he visited.Soon, there was a knock on the door. When he opened, it was Jerry, the congressman who was to guide Leo to the party. Leo knew him and they were quite fun of themselves. He dressed in almost the same manner he did. A half jacket and a hat, only that Jerry's was cheaper."You stole my dressing?" Leo asked hilariously. "No sir. I did not. It's just a funny coincidence." Jerry replied. "Wow. Don't we think alike?!" Leo said. Jerry couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Are you ready, sir?" Jerry soon asked. "I am. " Leo answered. "We can leave now. " He added. They then followed him. They walked out of the hotel and headed for the convoy. They entered and were taken off to the party venue. The venue was a big hall, filled with important political dignitaries
"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
Clara was still in her house wondering in thoughts. She knew that whatever it was, it meant trouble and her husband would have something to do with it. Soon, her phone rang and she saw the caller. It was her mother. "Hello, mom." She said. "Good evening." She greeted. "Good evening my daughter " Her mother replied. "How are you doing?" She asked. "Well I'm stuck at home " She answered. "That's for the best. " Her mother said. "Especially with the way you condemn your husband with My chance you get." She added. "What's the meaning of that mom," Clara asked her mother. "You are happy that I am being locked up at home by my husband?" She asked her mother. "I am. I was even the one who told him to do it. " Her mother revealed. Clara was shocked that her mother could do this to her. Her mother could tell her husband to lock her up. "You also told him to be me up? " She asked her mother. "Well, you can't blame him for what you did. You put him to shame you know?
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
Leo took a second to think before knocking on the door. All Melissa was waiting for was to hear him knock on the door. She waited a while for him and he waited a while before knocking. Soon, he took a deep sigh and knocked slowly. Immediately, she went to the door, ready to open it, but stopped on the way and took a second to think. He then knocked again. Now, she took a deep sigh and opened the door.Opening, their eyes locked romantically. All the bad feelings were gone. At that point, the princess wasn't feeling angry and sad anymore. Leo wasn't also feeling tense and anxious any more. Romantic tension filled the scene. "Babe," Leo uttered calmly. His voice rang in her ears. It's been a while since she heard him speak. They were both frozen, looking at themselves, unable to do any other thing. At a point, they could not hold it anymore. They got close together and kissed. They soon go to bed and make out. While this happened, Colton came back home. He saw Leo's guar
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.
Melissa and her fiance were still together. "It clearly wasn't what you thought it was." He said to her, concluding his narration. She was starting to realize that now. "And where is this Charlie now?" She asked him. "He ran and no one has been able to find him since then." He answered. "You probably scared him away. " He added. There was silence for a while. Melissa thought about how she might have messed things up for no reason at all."You know you really did not have to be this dramatic about it, right?" He told her. "Now, it's everywhere on the news and the net and I'm sure your father knows about it." He said to her. "Do you know how much trouble you've put me through?" He asked her again. "I thought you were both doing the unthinkable. I am sorry. " She said. "It's alright. " He said to her. "You can come closer now too." He demanded calmly. She took a sigh, then moved to him. He smiled at her and she tried to force a smile back at him. Just then, the door was knock
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
