(solitude)It been 17 years since i have been forced by my father to leave the city to study her.sitting on a chair is a handsome guy his muscles showing through his white t-shirt.

Maxwel a tall handsome guy came in, Tony your mum called, she asked

you to come back to the city, your father has been diagnose of lung cancer and he has few months left.

thing tomorrow morning.

On his way to the smitt mansion Tony ask Maxwel to halt in front of a

flower shop, he entered the shop looking around for orchids flower, he grab one and then noticed that someone is picking the same flower he is picking, he looked up to see who was it,standing before him was a tall slim beautiful lady with a dazzle of eye contact, he was lost in her

realm of beauty.

Lola protrude I caught this flower first.

(Tony protested)Nope, I grabbed it first, but if you want it you can ask nicely.

why should I do that when I Was the first to grab it,lola glanced the price ,( deep in thought) this is quite beyond my budget, she placed it back on the table, you can have it, lola said and left the shop. (exhale) I almost embarrass myself, I don’t even have the money for it.

(Minutes later) Tony stepped out of his car, (looking at the mansion) it still the same way I left it.

Standing at the entrance to welcome him was a beautiful woman, Karlee,she embraced Tony as he handed her the flower.

Jeez, you still remember the flower I like.

of course, it indicate beauty and elegance which defines you.

He enters the house saw his father standing(surprised)is this the

man I was told he his dying,standing with full strength.

Give me a hug son, am proud of how successful of a businessman you

have become, I shall organize a small party for you.

Tony enters his room, the gentle wind was coming in through the

window, he walks towards the window feeling the wind on his skin

closed his eyes thinking of the girl he saw at the flower shop smiling to

himself. Karlee came in with a clothe neatly folded, have got your suit ready

for the party, your father’s friends will be at the party,you should get ready.

Tony points to the suit on the bed, all this is not necessary.

Karlee smiles, you are still the same boy who does not like much attention, but you know once your father wants something he does not back down until he gets it.

(Past 6 noon)

The guest are arriving for the party, Richard announce Tony to be the

next president of the smitt hotel, he introduced Tony to his friends, this

is Vivan Martex, his wife Juliana and their lovely daughter Lina, they have been our family friend since ages.

Lina extend her hand to Tony, am Lina Martex with a smile on her face

mumbling to herself,I want this guy .

The next morning, Richard(Tony's father) told Tony about his plan to get him marry to Lina,You are to marry Lina Martex,Vivan and I have been a very good friend and Lina is the heiress to the martex business she will be a good influence to you.

Tony looked at his father in dismay and speech less.

(At the Smitt hotel) Lola stands in the lounge wondering why everyone is going outside,Suzan ran to her, let’s go all the staffs are asked to come outside I heard the new president is here.

Tony was welcome by the staffs.

Lola exclaimed at the sight of Tony entering the hotel,recalled and

explained her encounter with him at the flower shop.

(Suzan exclaim) so you had met him before, she nod and we fought over a flower, what if he recognize me and fires me I can’t afford to lose this job, I really need the money for my family.

Tony went up to his office accompany by madam MA and Maxwel, bring me all the files for this hotel instructed Madam MA.

In his office,Shouldn't you take It easy, you just got back to the city you need to take it easy on yourself,Maxwel advised him.

I need something to focus on to get the marriage s**t off my mind.

I can’t believe your father wants to force you into getting marry because of his business.

(On the other hand) Lola is restless pacing up and down.

You need to calm down and get back to work before Madam MA finds us lazing loitering around that would be your quick way ticket out of here before the president does.

Madam MA enters the room, suzan panicky grabbed onto Lola to leave

the room.

She stopped them, the two of you follow me with these files pointing to the table.

Walking down the hotel hall,Suzan whisper to Lola where are we going

with these files.

Madam MA turns back, can’t you be quiet you chatter box.
