Donald's POV

I sat on my couch scanning my sitting room, meditating on Rosa's recent behaviors.

Suddenly, my phone rang. My thumb moved quickly to the answer button after seeing who the caller was, Mr. Brian, my new business partner. “Hello, Mr. Donald, what about the business deal?” I looked at myself and thought about my family's reputation for a while. “Business deal? Well, I'm not in the right frame of mind now”.

I was lost in a thought; if I reject the offer, my family's company will lose the deal. What should I do?

“Hello! Hello! Are you still with me? I heard Mr.Brian call out to me at the other end of the line. His voice woke me from my thought. “Sorry for taking time to reply. I was trying to put things in order over here. I replied, trying to buy time in order to have a rethink about the deal.

Mr. Brian replied, “Are you still interested? Many companies have sent their proposals for this same deal”. My eyes quickly opened wide, my chest pounding. I was confused. I had to reply to him, “Can you give me a little time to put things in order here, please? I will call you back.

The tension I felt refused to stop even after the call. The contract deal involves billions of dollars. I'm afraid I shouldn't be a victim of circumstance. I leaned back on my couch, a deep, weary sigh leaving my lips as I could overcome the frustration with my breath.

My fingers fidgeted with the phone in my hand. I gritted my teeth, fighting the urge to overcome the tension, tightly closed my eyes, and stared blankly at the wall of my mansion.

The sitting room felt heavier. I needed someone to talk to; Rosa should be on her way back to city A. My PA left for a break.

Rosa is a good business analyst, and I need her to come over. My hand hovered on the phone, my heart felt dry, and I swallowed hard, my heartbeat drumming louder than my thoughts racing in my mind.

I took a shaky breath trying to feel better, but the tightness in my chest only grew. “What if she advised wrongly? Does she really love me?” I asked myself several times. I will be bankrupt if I'm defrauded. My thumb moved; I dialed her number.

As the tone began, my breath held captive by the tension through my veins. “Hi, love! How's your day going? I was just thinking about you.

There was a lady's voice in the background of the call when Rosa was speaking on the phone. I didn't even bother to ask who that was; the tension on me was outrageous.

My eyes immediately opened wide, and I stood up from the couch with my chest heaviness relieved and my mind relaxed after hearing my love's voice.

The thought about her secretive behavior disappeared. “Are you back?” Rosa laughed at me and said, “Yes, I'm back. Did you miss me?” I chuckled.

“Can you come over immediately, please? I need you right now.” I excitedly replied. “Alright, see you later.”

The call got disconnected. I smiled widely; she is good; I don't know where the doubt is from. Should I ask my PA to resume work immediately?

Later that afternoon, Rosa arrived at my house. We both hugged and smiled. After a while, the worried expression on my face caught Rosa's attention, but she couldn't transcribe it.

She couldn't hesitate but asked, "Tell me the truth, babe, what's going on?" Her stunning face elicited an incomprehensible smile.

I smiled, and laughter filled my mouth. Rosa frowned at me, feeling stupid. I chuckled and responded, "Sorry, babe, I actually remembered something. You should not feel bad. It would be an understatement to say I missed you. I have missed you a lot, which is why I want you to come and stay by my side."

I looked into her beautiful white eyes."If you do, why did you not rush in and kiss me like you usually do? She shifted her gaze to another part of the room, folding her hands and panting like a small child. "Babe, I am so sorry."

I quickly grabbed her and gave her the most passionate kiss of her life. She smiled and eventually calmed down.

"Babe, I received a business proposal about a global electric vehicle production from a friend. It is valued in billions of dollars. Specifically, seven hundred to nine hundred billion. According to my new business partner, the final resume is nearing completion, and many companies in city A and beyond are interested. I have called you here because I need your thoughts on this. You have a good business sense. I do not want to be taken advantage of. If I am duped, you will go hungry after marrying me." She chuckled...

"You are not serious; I am hungry when you are a billionaire?" We both laughed for a while. "Rosa, this is not a laughing matter." I mumbled.

"Well, could you please get the document for this business deal? I will look into it and get back to you. When she said that, I felt relieved as if I were in a pool of water, chilling."

I know my beautiful future wife is intelligent. She dropped the paper and snatched me like a baby, kissed me, and licked me from head to Johnson.

Hmm! cried out for more. Rosa is great in bed; we had a good time. She sent me away from my own room, uuh!

"Can you excuse me, distractor? I need to be alone right now!" We both laughed, and I quietly left for another room.

I began to have reservations about the deal, wondering if she could tell if it was a scam or a genuine opportunity to propel my company to the top of the business rankings in city A.

    Rosa's POV My mouth dropped when I read the contents of the document Donald gave me to preview. It appeared so real, even though it was somewhat confusing. Considering that electric vehicles are new to the market, I believe the stated amount is reasonable for a global production company, but there is a problem. I spent two hours in Donald's room trying to figure it out. I reached over and picked up the phone, dialing the number of an old classmate who excels at business. "Hey, Cade," I cackled, "you did not bother calling me after we finished school." "Yeah! How have you been, my love? I truly miss you. I am sorry about that. You caused it by not loving me at the time. A CEO is your fiancé, correct? One of the reasons I stopped contacting you was because I learned about it. I think he is in a noisy place.

    Rosa’s POV “He actually called me back.” I muttered, pacing Donald's room. “Why is he bothering me, Cade? I don’t think he’s being paid to turn on me, but why can’t he see things from different angles? He’s so good at analyzing business deals, yet something about this one feels… off. I can’t even verify it myself.” As the phone buzzed in my hand, I sighed and reluctantly answered. “Rosa, you didn’t let me finish when I called earlier. You hung up on me.” His voice held a quiet disappointment, but I could tell he was trying to stay calm. “I’m sorry,” I lied smoothly. “I didn’t mean to hang up on you. The connection was bad, and I couldn’t hear you clearly.” A pause. Then, he chuckled lightly. “No problem. Hey, girl, I was just teasing when I called earlier. You take things way too seriously sometimes.” I rolled my eyes, despite myself. “You haven’t stopped with your antics, have you? Anyway, what’s the real reason you called?” We both chuckled, but his tone shifted as he

The glittering floor, chandelier, and gorgeous sighting flowers reminded me of the past. I recalled the times we spent playing in the garden. The chief cook, the janitors, and a large number of my dad's employees greeted me as I entered the grand building. Looking at the beautiful portrait of my dad, mom, myself, and other family members, my gorgeous mom stepped in through a lobby. "Donald, I know you will honor my invitation." She said politely with a smile on her face. My dad gave me a handshake and hugged me tightly when he came in. A few minutes later, the table was set for the lunch because it was already afternoon.
