Bryan got to his floor and exited the elevator and immediately he stepped out, he bumped into his personal assistant and they both walked into his office together.
"Good afternoon sir, how was your meeting? I can see you are not looking so bright. What is the matter?
"How can I be? Whenever my grandfather calls me, all he talks about is me getting a bride. Today is the last day he gave me to get a bride I barely have 3 hours to get myself a bride and present it to him this evening at my birthday party. Where on earth will I get a wife?" said Bryan.
He gazed at the window rolling his chair as his hand lifted up to massage his temple. He had been thinking hard since the last call he got from his grandfather.
"Sir there is no time again, yes this is a difficult task but it is doable, let me go talk to the secretary and see if we can work something out," Fred said before turning on his heels to leave the office.
"Fred" Bryan called out.
"yes sir" he answered.
"Please do not let me down, I am counting on you," Fred nods his head in agreement and left the office.

Meanwhile, Alexa was back again to deliver some file to the secretary. Susan noticed that Alexa's eyes were kind of puffy and red. Even her cute button like nosed was red.
"Alexa, is something wrong? Where you crying my dear?" Susan asked in concern.
"It is nothing ma'am. I am okay," Alexa denied.
"Come on dear. You can tell me anything."
"Well, it is just some finial issues, you know. My mom is ill and the payment for her to commence her treatment will be due tomorrow and I do not have enough money to pay for it. I was hoping that I could get my payment in advance. But since I just started my internship last month, I was told that will not be possible," Alexa explained.
"Oh I am so sorry. I wish I could be of help to you right now," Susan said sincerely. She felt sad for Alexa. She is such a young girl bearing the responsibilities of her home. Just then, Assistant Fred walked out of Bryan's office, shutting the door behind him.
"It is okay Susan. I understand. I should get going now. I still have other task to do. Bye Miss Susan," Alexa bowed to Assistant Fred and smiled lightly at Susan before she took her leave.
"What happened to her?" Assistant Fred asked curiously.
"Sigh. She is facing some financial issues, that's all," Susan answered. "Anyways, what can I do for you sir?" She asked looking up at Assistant Fred.
"Did you say financial issues?" He asked as leaned down on Susan's desk.
"Yes Mr. Fred and It is quite a lot. But why are you being curious about her financial situation?"
"It is just that... I need to know more about her. Can you get her file Susan please? It is just urgent. Send me her profile right away."
"But sir is everything okay?" asked Susan curiously.
"Yeah Susan everything is okay. I just hope everything goes according to the plan in my head. Then everything will definitely be fine," Fred answered while moving backwards to enter the CEO's office.
Fred enters Bryan's office and told him he is working on something and he just needs few minutes and he will work out something, he told him this in assurance and Bryan decided to trust him and stay put for few minutes.
Meanwhile Susan called the human resource department and in few minutes she got the file of Alexa sent to her then she goes into Mr. Bryan's office where she meets him and his personal assistant who looked as if they were worried about something, then she breaks off the silence
"Here is the file of Miss Alexa sir Fred as you instructed, all you need to know about her is this file".
"Thank you Susan, you have been so helpful and you can leave for now and I will get back to you" said Fred.
Susan walks out of the office but she had the look on her face as if Miss Alexa was in trouble or so.
Fred goes through Alexa's profile, while Bryan wandered what was in his hand and in few seconds, Fred looks at Bryan and said "I think we have got the right person to be your wife sir, she works here and she is in serious urgent financial situation".
He passed the profile to Bryan, so that he could see the profile for himself. Bryan schemed through the details of Alexa as Fred kept on talking.
"Alexa Williams. She is twenty-one years old and lives with her brother and mother. Ms Alexa is also very hard-working in her job here as a graduate intern," Fred said.
Bryan felt rather satisfied with the profile that Fred brought to him. He dropped the profile on the desk as he massaged his jaw and let out a deep sigh.
"More information about your wife candidate will soon arrive. That way you can be sure if whom you are getting married to," Fred added.
"Hmm. Get Ms Williams to come to my office," Bryan finally let out his voice.
"Yes boss."
With that said, Fred left the office to get Alexa while Bryan continued to busy himself with other things to get his mind if the pressure that his grandfather was placing on him. Like for God's sake, today is his birthday. And instead of working in the company like always, he is racking his brain to search for a wife under a few hours.
Meanwhile, Alexa was busy sorting out some file that was given to her, she heard being called out loudly.
"Alexa! You have being summoned by the boss to go to his office immediately."
GBAGHAN
The files she was able to sort out all fell from her hands because of the shock she got from that loud announcement. Her mind was in a frenzy as she kept on searching for any reason that the CEO would summon her to his office.
"What did you do now Alexa?" She murmured to herself.
