Do you want tea or whiskey?” asked Emmanuel with a smile.“Tea will be fine, thank you” replied Patrick. Emmanuel asked his assistant to make tea for them.Then they discussed the proposal, and they agreed with the profit percentage of 5% which would be earned by the Johnson Group. His Assistant came back with tea and left the office.Patrick asked Emmanuel. “You said you have a condition, what is it?” Emmanuel gave him another contract.

Emmanuel Johnson was looking forward to seeing his son. He was anxious since he was not sure if he would agree to marry Victoria Lewis. He hoped that James would listen to his mother. He called his wife to remind her about tomorrow’s meeting with James. “My beautiful wife, please don’t forget to call James about tomorrow’s meeting.” Rosemary replied, “hubby, I’ve already told him about the meeting, my work is done now. It is up to you to convince him. Don’t forget that you said you would not force him, and you will cancel this contract should he refuse.” Emmanuel Johnson was beaming and said, “I love you so much my dearest wife, thanks for your hard work, see you later.” Then he hung up.James’s flight arrived on time, he attracted so much attention, he was very handsome, arrogant and he was tall. His Assistant, Edwin Davidson, went to the airport to fetch him. When he saw his boss, he went to him and took his boss’s luggage. There were reporters waiting for him. They heard that t

At the Johnson mansion, Emmanuel was in the lounge talking to his wife, “I don’t believe that James agreed to marry Victoria, I pinched myself so many times to check if I’m not dreaming.” His wife replied, “I think James had a fight with Serene, he is regretting it now. Oh, my son, we’ve destroyed his life, hubby. If he wants to divorce Victoria, please allow him to do so. I beg you my dearest husband, I can’t see my son in pain.” Emmanuel sighed. “I promise my wife, we will annul this marriage if he is not happy,” said her husband. James was a good son, smart and respectful to his parents. They loved him dearly. The first time Emmanuel saw Serene Logan, he didn’t have a good impression of her. He was hoping that James would fall in love with Victoria. Serene Logan loved vanity and friends.At that moment, they heard the butler greeting James. James and Victoria went to the living room. Victoria greeted James’s parents, “hello Uncle, hello Auntie.” James’s father laughed and said,

When Victoria woke up, it was 2 pm, she took a shower, she applied light make-up. She went to her closet and picked up a knee-high yellow dress that showed off her long legs. She brushed her long black hair, she looked like a fairy, she was stunning. She decided not to eat at home. She went to her favourite restaurant, His Wings. She parked her car, she was absent-minded, she bumped into someone. “So..rry” she stammered; she was about to fall but someone’s arms held her. She looked up; she was stunned, she was in a daze. Wow so handsome, her heart started to beat so fast. The man who was holding her was so handsome. It was love at first sight. The handsome man smiled at her, something happened in her heart, there were butterflies in her stomach. She just rested in his arms. The man coughed, then she came back to her senses and said, “sorry it was not my intention.” The handsome man smiled at her, but he didn’t release her. “Did we meet before?” asked him. “I don’t think so, pleas
