Craig, come on, let's leave, I am sure they haven't left.
That is not possible, the press is here for your engagement announcement. Jeremy said, Gregory fall to the couch.
Son, you two should stay away from those girls, you two are their downfall. Jessica said and that is the fact, Whitney and her family would had still be together in that place, Cathy will not have been drag into this mess, her mother would had still be with them.
Whitney is looking through the window when news flash on the screen.

They pack off, they take bus to Abuja, when the three get to Abuja, it's already late, Casper is leaving already.
Hey, you are leaving? Whitney said to Casper. I thought you are no longer interested in it, you didn't call but, since you are here, let's go inside.
Casper look at Flora and then George. Oh, this is my mother and my brother, George.
Alright, you all can come inside. When they enter the place, it appear that he too is rich, he offer them juice.

Referring to George.
Fight! That was the only word George said, Casper look at him. What else can you do?

Really? Casper ask all excited, George nodded to him. Oh! I was planning of buying that company, when I decided to expand my company to a multi purpose one, to not just aviation, so I could become popular, someone else beat me to it.
George face is straight without expression, although his heart burn because he wants to be the one to buy it but he is always poor. So you said you can make chocolate, since I am planning to get a chocolate company we can partner.
Sure, if it's partner. George stretch his hand and shake it with Casper.
That means we will have to leave now and I am really sorry for the stress but don't worry, immediately we get to my mom's, you will get the needed rest that you all need.
No problem, come on brother and mother we should leave with him.
But...
Mother, don't worry if he tries rubbish I will kill him with my hands. George said, Flora push his head, the only thing George has in his head is fight.
