Saturday mornings started off with a workout at the gym for Jason. This time though he had a plus one. To ensure privacy, he had a whole floor of the building emptied out for him and his tag along. Nanny Jo had the morning off, and so Karen was glued to Jason and kept following him. He even had to keep assuring her when the other females took her to the bathroom to clean her up. She had ran out totally naked to find him. It had only been four days and Jason couldn't point out when exactly it happened but she seemed very attached to him and Nanny Jo, and he preferred that she wouldn't trust anyone else.
Karen sat nearby and watched as Jason worked out on the treadmill. The moment he stopped to take a drink from his bottle, she walked up to the treadmill and tried it herself. Unfortunately it was off and she was just stepping up and down but not treading properly at all. Seeing her actions, Jason smiled and turned on the treadmill immediately reaching out to catch her from behind when she fell backwards off the mill. Jason laughed and held her up by putting his arms around her waist with her feet hovering above the mill. He would place her to feel for the right motion then lift her when she got to the edge till she got a hang of running on the treadmill. He allowed her to run until she showed signs of fatigue which she did quickly. He turned of the treadmill then. He then sent her over to some other equipment to let her try them, then left her to her own devices on the stationary bike which she had taken to.

Marcus was wondering why Jason didn't come over to the gym. It had been his culture for years to go gyming in the morning and swimming in the evening every Saturday. At times they'd add in a few basketball games or tennis. He was heading to the parking lot to drive out after working out when he spotted a familiar figure walking towards a familiar Aston Martin while supporting a woman who was also familiar.
Marcus didn't know how to feel about this. He had never even taken any of his girls to work out with his Bro. on Saturday morning because he didn't want to annoy him. He really felt betrayed with the new development. He had been replaced with a woman..

On the other side of the city, Mr. Tod Lou who had even forgotten about his unfortunate niece was beside himself with joy. Why wouldn't he be? He, the CEO of a company that was only known in A country and hadn't even grown enough to try the international market was just informed that the young master of Asia's, largest conglomerate was going to visit his house.
What could the visit possibly be about? He really couldn't tell. Then again, he had heard talk that Young Master Wu was going to need a wife soon from the social circles. Could this mean his daughter was also a candidate? He wondered turning to look at his daughter who was sitting on a couch a few metres away giggling about something she was hearing over the phone. Why can't she be a couldn't she be a candidate? She was quite the beauty, and had been brought up in a good family. She also had all the decorum neccesary to be the young lady of a powerful family. If he could have marital ties with the Wu's.... the business possibilities would certainly be endless. Mr. Lou decided then and there, even if the purpose of the visit was different, the visit would certainly be a chance to make all his dreams come true!
"Sheryl, call your mother here, we'll be having an important guest over for lunch." Mr. Lou told
"An important guest? From which company? Or is it a government official?" Mrs. Lou questioned, coming down the stairs in a majestic fashion.
" Nice of you to join us Beryl. The young master of the Wu family will be here for lunch today. I'm sure I don't have to teach you both how to behave in order to build the strongest ties with the Wu's?"
"Strongest ties..?" Sheryl repeated, a smile gradually growing on her face."Really Daddy?"
"Right now it's only a chance. I want you to make the best of it. You'll regret it forever if this chance slips away."
"Oh I'm so excited!" Mrs Lou chirped." Who would have thought our family would be connected to the Wu family?"
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We still need this daughter to become the daughter in law of the Wu family first." Mr. Lou chuckled.
"I'm going upstairs to get ready!" Sheryl exclaimed, bounding up the stairs to her room.
"I'm also going to get everything ready!" Mrs Lou announced, heading for the kitchen.
