She intended to reject the offer because many men in the past had come her way, offering help in exchange for her body. This made her skeptical about David's intentions as well.She had a new perspective on David when she remembered the day he came to buy the house. He was dressed so poorly that no one would have thought he could spend $30 million on an apartment.She even thought that someone else sent him to search for the house and purchase it in their name. But she was proven wrong when the name on the receipt matched the one on the payment.She first had doubts when she saw him in an expensive car, but there's always a difference in your attitude when you truly own a car versus pretending to.What she concluded about him was that he was just one of those young rich men who prefer to live a low-key lifestyle."I haven't concluded anything yet," she struggled to say.David understood what was running through her mind. He knew she would have ideas and worries, especially about the f
When he walked out of the door, his eyes went straight to the tower. A participant was about to jump down."3...2...1" The instructor counted as the participant jumped into the air with a backflip."What!" David's eyes were blinking with so much shock."That's crazy." He added as he watched the participant dip into the river below the tower. In a second, the elastic rubber snapped back as he did another bounce.David was startled by how the participant was flexing around with the scary sport."Well, it's fun for you. It's a task for me." He mumbled as he couldn't move his eyes away from the tower.When the first participant was done, another person went to the jump deck. She had the harness tied to her leg, unlike the previous person who had it around his waist.David could read the nervousness in the lady's eyes. It seemed like it was her first time too. He couldn't wait to see how she would handle the fear.She gazed at the river beneath the tower and held her head tightly. The fear
David was now at the tower, precisely at the jump deck. He had the harness fixed around his feet and all the necessary safety procedures had been taken.He was gazing at the very deep river beneath the tower, which made his eyes tremble.The height was crazier than he had expected. The height wasn't as long as that when he was watching the other jumpers a few minutes ago. And if it's this high, how were they able to do the jump like it was nothing?Now, he was at the jump deck, having a real view of the height. Suddenly, he felt his heart racing faster than before, and the view before him had grabbed his attention tightly.'Am I scared of doing this?' He questioned in his mind, as his facial expression was unexplainable.'I thought I said I was bold and courageous a few minutes ago?' He gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction and forced a lump down his throat."Are you okay?" The instructor asked, noticing the sudden change in his face.The instructor was surprised to find his eyes twitc
Within a couple of minutes, he was lectured about the sport. The instructor was actually full of knowledge about it. He looked like someone in his 40s but still vibrant and strong.After the lecture, he headed into an airplane with his instructor. They had all the necessary equipment along, from the harness to the glasses and helmet.Of course, David had all sorts running through his mind but it's the last task. He just has to get it completed before the time runs out.In a few minutes, the airplane began to run on the runway, and before he knew what was happening, it flew up into the sky."How are you feeling?" The instructor inquired."Well, I think I'm a little bit scared." David disclosed."Being scared is part of the sport. Be assured that you're safe since I will stay behind you to guide you.""Yeah, I know. It's just so crazy as I have a lot of crazy pictures in my head right now."The instructor understood all he was saying beyond his explanation as he continued to assure him,
A new week began. Alfred was seen in an office, seated with some documents in front of him. He was busy with the files as he read through them.Very early that morning, he had traveled to the next city where their under-constructed company is located. He had traveled there because the Wendy family had decided to sell off the property to pay off their loan.They shouldn't have bothered about selling it; they should have just handed over the property to Mr. Huge in exchange for their loan repayment.But they didn't do it that way because they believed the property would be worth hundreds of million dollars.Although they haven't spent such a huge sum on the property, they all expected it to add value as long as it's a building.So it would have been unwise if they submitted the under-constructed company document to Mr. Huge. It would be more like paying him more than the loan they took.They should have sold the property at first to make use of the money for the anniversary celebration,
"What's going on? What could have been the reason they had a change of mind?" Alfred was asking himself all these questions as he was finding it difficult to understand the sudden change from their end.He was quite worried about it because the chat he had with them was still the smoothest among all the companies and individuals who showed interest in the property.His worries grew bigger because he felt like, if the company who showed the highest interest could change their mind, it means the deal isn't safe with the ones who show a little interest. Maybe there is a problem somewhere that the Wendy Group didn't have knowledge about.As he was having all sorts running around his head, his phone began to ring. Quickly, he checked for the caller but the number wasn't familiar. Without hesitation, he picked it up, pressing the phone to his ear."Hello," his voice was in a mid tone."Yes, sir. I'm at the site now, I can't find you."Alfred had a chill run through his spine upon hearing th
Alfred gripped his head in anger as all sorts of thoughts ran through his mind. It felt as though his head would explode at any moment. Mr. Lewis's words echoed in his mind, driving him to the brink of madness."What is all this nonsense?" he muttered through gritted teeth, enraged and indignant.His irritation grew with each passing moment. He wished Mr. Lewis were his age; he wouldn't have hesitated to deliver a resounding slap.Although he knew it was impossible, countless thoughts raced through his mind.How could he slap a client just because he mentioned an unfavorable price? It was unthinkable. After all, it was just business, right?But for Alfred, it was more than just business. The property held all their hopes, the means to pay off their debts and revive their business.The Wendy Group had already collapsed, so if they had some millions left after paying Mr. Huge, they could rebuild.The building was the only way out for the Wendy family. They couldn't tolerate selling it f
David was on a call on his balcony. The voice at the other end was a lady's voice. The voice was very soft and warm, giving off a romantic vibe.The owner of the voice was Sandra. Ever since David had helped her home, she couldn't stop thinking about him. She was amazed at how sympathetic and caring he was.She was particularly curious as to why David had asked about the business she would like to do so that he could help. It was surprising, considering that he only knew her as a sales representative for a housing company. That was the extent of their relationship. If it was because she attended to him well, then it was clear that she was just doing her job.However, Sandra called to express her gratitude for him taking the time to drive her home the other day. She understood how precious time was to someone like him.She intended to speak softly over the phone, as it was a new morning and everything had to be gentle."Do you sleep well, sir?" Sandra asked, her voice cool and calm.Da
