October 19th

Alex:

I lazily sat in the back seat of my car,my journey back home had been stressful and I couldn't even get to relax even though I was i boarded first class section,I had been replying emails and proof reading documents sent to me by Nate .

"When is the meeting with the Japanese ambassador"I asked lazily with my eyes closed

"Is 3;00pm sir "Nate replied

"And the delegates from the Congo "

"4:30 sir "

After that rescheduled any meeting for the remaining day I really need to rest "I replied with a simple tone.

"Ok sir "Nate replied while he joted down important details in his file

We continue the remaining journey to my company in total quietness.

The first meeting with the Japanese ambassador came to an end and I was able to get the ambassador sign a deal with my company ,

I sat in my office seat ,go through some paperwork,when Nate came to remind me of the meeting with the Congo contractor.

"Eh Nate what about what I asked you to do "I asked him without looking up from what I was reading.

"A little progress sir "Nate responded

"What Nate ,why will these take you eternity to do eh Nate "I replied angrily,I really need to get this over with and be done with,

"Sir give me a little time ,I think I have found some one for you ,some one that met your requirements "Nate replied me

"Fixed a date for me to meet her as soon as possible but first thing first I need a detail background detail of her ,"I replied looking straight at Nate and for the first time since I came back today I had notice him smiling

"Ok sir,the meeting will commence in the next 15 minutes sir "he reminded me

"After you "I said as I stood up and walked out of my office .

8;30pm

Same day

Nate:

I don't know what I was thinking when I told Alex that there is a progress,when I had not seen anyone ,I had none in mind ,after I left his office I had try reaching out to some secret agency for date site and hook up but none is readily available,

This is the third glass of wine I had emptied since I arrived home from work.I really don't know what to tell my boss ,should I tell him I can't do this or I should asked for more time,

Still deep in thought my phone rang ,I looked at the caller Id is my boss,I was reluctantly to picked it at first but it kept ringing so I pick it at the third row.

"Hello boss"I greeted

"Nate stop ,is outside work place ,is Alex now "

"Ok my boss man ,but you still the boss Alex"I replied

"Care to join me for a drink ,I cnt sleep can we sit out "he asked

"Sure boss,just text me the address I will be there soon"

"Ok Nate ,will do that after I hang up "

The call Finally came to an end and I quickly went into the bathroom to get washed and change into something comfortable for the night ,I think today is the best time to tell Alex that I was lying back then in the office today .

I arrived at the address of the place that Alex sent me,just as I anticipated is a very fancy and expensive hotel strictly for the richest people in the country,I followed the directions of the ushers and was directed to a private sector in the hotel ,the interior of the restaurant is beautifully decorated and design with the most unique,inside the private sector ,there are different doors leading to the main entrances to the private sector,each doors are been numbered and with a guard on the front of the door,I quietly knock on door 0051,and a familiar voice asked me to come in .

Stepping into the room my eyes was meant with what look like a well decorated sitting room,there is a top to bottom window that stood at the far end of each side of the room,

"Hey Nate ,stop acting like a jingo,come and make yourself comfortable "asked Alex

"Yea "man thanks "I replied as I look around the room "Alex this place is so cool and beautiful,the owners sure have a way of making sure the rich kids have value for their money "

"Really ,yes the place is fine and for the owner I owned here ,this is one of my private properties "Alex replied me

I was dumbstruck ,I had knee Alex all my life ,I knew he is rich but what I don't know is how rich he is .

"You mean you owned here Alex really "I asked looking so surprise

"Yes I do,is a new one and I was planing on telling you when I came back from my trip,but it seems is now or never "Alex replied me "

"

"Yes ,it is am glade you like it "Alex said as he pop out some smoke in the air "Nate am worried,grandpa called me this evening "

"Really ,for what "I asked as I drop the glass cup on the table

"To invite me for a family dinner and remind me of my promise about bringing my wife to our next family gathering "Alex Said in a calm tone "Nate what about the lady you said you have found for me "

"Alex am sorry I lied to you about that, I haven't found any that suites your tastes am sorry "I replied with a sad tone

"You what Nate ,for two weeks you haven't seen any "he shouted at me "you have just one week to look for someone for me , Nate anyone my reputation is at stake "

"Am sorry Alex ,I will try my best please a little time will do please "I pleaded

"Is alright Nate ,am sorry for rising my voice at you am just angry at myself and my stupid life ,"he sighted

"Is alright man "I said as I stood up and walked towards him and patted him on his shoulder "man everything will be alright I promise to get you a bride before the dinner "

We drank in silence for the remaining hours of the night ,thinking deep about our next plan

I made sure to put Alex on his bed because he is a light drinker ,after making sure he is sound asleep,I drove to the only place I had been thinking about of lately
