Are you daring me? Gregory asked him. Stop it boss. He hit Gregory's head. So you are disobeying your boss?

Do I want to die? Craig said, he laughed. Don't worry I will paint you when we return.

Craig said, he small like a child.we should go before those nagging girls will come after us.

Come on Whitney, why are you applying make up again?

It's simple, I want to look beautiful and attract really handsome men.

Oh, so I am not handsome?

Can you stop patronizing me? I said I want to attract really handsome men, do you have problem with that? Whitney asked him.

No, you should tell me that you fancy those two from Mega multi aviation empire Intl? Casper asked her, he is referring to Gregory and Craig, she smiled.

Stop talking nonsense, I am done with love. Whitney said, she felt she have no more feelings for men but maybe because she haven't meet Gregory again. oh! You should go distract those mad journalist while I go inside.

Bad girl! Casper said, he walked to the journalist while Whitney passed without them knowing.

Hey boss, that should be the CEO of Casper aviation Enterprise.

Yes but where is the girl behind his success? Gregory asked.

Let's listen may she will come.

Welcome to our resort. The journalist said. Thanks a million, I hope I could get a good treat apart from the fact that, I am here for business?

Of cause, you heard your company is ranking third in such a short time in the industry?

Yes! It's miraculous but it's also with hard work from me and my assistant who happens to be my fiancee.

Whoa! So where is she?

Don't worry, you will meet her at the conference, for now, I need to rest. He said and left, Gregory sighed.

Why didn't she comes with him? Gregory asked Craig. Do I know and where is that stupid brother of mine?

Just them Roe walked in, the press run to him, Gregory tap him, he is over there but is like he is alone.

What a waste? Craig said. Wait, maybe she will come. Gregory encourage him.

The idiot didn't come with her, we should leave, I just wasted my time. Craig said, Gregory laugh, they went back to their suit, just them Cathy arrived, the press are so busy that they didn't notice Cathy, she walk straight to Roe suit and tap the door.

Who is it?

Alright, we will, get out of that bed and stop thinking of her.

I said, I will come behind, so stop lecturing me and move. Craig stand in irritation, Gregory push his head and left.

We should go, he will come behind, so we don't go late.

You thought, I was dead? She asked, she is straightforward.

Hm! No! Look at you. She force a smile.

Where is... Gregory want to ask about Whitney from her but Roe text her, that she will give a speech there, she frown slightly.

Alright, the conference is still on for a week, so you will meet them again. Jane said

We should concentrate, it's about to start. Zoe said, Gregory and Craig, are lost, Craig is thinking about Cathy while Gregory is thinking about Whitney.

Since they were the first ranking aviation industry in the country, MC have to call them first.

We should give respect to whom respect is due, so we want to invite the number one best of aviation, which is no other than, sir Gregory and his assistant and we will appreciate if their partner are available, let's applaud them as they come on stage.

You should go with him to represent me, I am not going. Craig said to Zoe.

What? I don't know what to say. Zoe said. I thought you are intelligent, go on and do the talking. She sighed and go with Gregory and Jane.

You welcome sir! The presenter said. Thanks.

I am so honored to stand besides the great men and women who is behind Mega multi aviation empire Intl

Thanks! Gregory words are single. We realized you have so many competitors now, do you think they are threat to your company? Gregory smile.

First of all, we are not competing with anyone, when we started aviation, we never wanted it to be Monopoly because Monopoly gives no challenge, you don't grow in Monopoly, you are static but at this point, I like what I am seeing and it's good.

Whoa! You are the best and where is your assistant? The presenter asked, Gregory point to Zoe

Oh! I understand that, she is representing him, I heard that some years back you announced your engagement, so when is the wedding? The presenter asked Zoe, Craig frown where he is sitting.

Assuredly, we are planning of announcing...

I am afraid, she can't answer that, we are here for business not, for our personal life. Gregory interrupt Zoe who is about to say things that are meaningless.

Alright, we shall been waiting to hear more from you, this one week of the conference. The presenter said, Gregory nodded, he walked out of the stage with Jane and Zoe.

We also want to invite the CEO of Mega touch aviation Intl, which is Roe Rod, we should applaud him. They applaud him, Craig is waiting for him to come on stage with his wife, so is the presenter.

What are you looking for? Roe asked him as he get to the stage.

Sorry, I was hoping you will come with your wife? He smiled.

Don't worry, you will get to meet her.

So does it mean we are not meeting her now? The presenter asked.

You will, she is the one representing me on my speech, so you will, patient, that is a good virtues.

Dummy! Craig called him, Gregory look at him. Stupid! Hiding under a woman. Craig said again, Roe keep referring to his wife in everything they asked him, when he is done, Craig just sighed.

We have heard from the horse's mouth, he said, his beautiful wife, we give us a speech later and then we get to see the one behind his success.

At this juncture, we want to see the one company that has surprised us really well, in less than ten years in the industry, he is ranking second best, like they said, behind every successful man, there is a woman, so let's welcome, the CEO of Casper aviation Enterprises with his assistant who happens to be his fiancee Whitney White
