As Adah drove out of the gate of the mansion, she would not help but wonder how caring and loving her father has been. Sometimes, she wonders if he is still the same man that is feared but popular in most parts of the world. She drove for a while before coming to a stop at the reserved road that leads towards the Bourdilon gate. She parked the Jaguar on the grassy side of the road and wondered on the first thing to do was. Not getting any ideas, she picked up her phone to call Munah. Luckily for her, he has made it to the Bourdilon gate and is presently waiting there for her. putting the phone aside on the seat, she turned on the ignition and drove towards the gate with her heartbeat which now seems on the rise. She reached the gate and before turning, they sighted each other. She smiled and parked the car before quickly coming out to welcome him properly. He was wearing dark blue denim jeans that fit so well and a white-collar t-shirt and white snicker which looked as if never worn. They smiled at each other before Munah asked her for the honor to drive. She was shocked at first but reluctantly agreed and gave him the keys. As they entered Adah relaxed on the seat and watched him as he turned on the ignition and drove out fully before negotiating to enter the main road.
"Never know that you can drive..." Adah said with surprise on her face as she turned to look at him.
"I learned it way back in high school and since then I have been driving. I don't want you to do all the stress. Moreover, you are new to these roads." He replied easily with a smile as he increased the speed of the Jaguar. Within him, the car looks brand new as if never been used.
" Well, first thing first. I will want us to discuss how to get things sorted. Can we find a place to talk first?" She said in her usual soft voice.
" Yes madam, I will drive into the park which is about fifteen minutes away and we can talk there if you do not mind." He replied as Adah switched on the car mp3.
" Please for today there should be no official terms. I am Adah and when alone together on unofficial meetings you are free to call me that." Adah said looking at him as he showed no reaction.
" Thank you, madam... I mean Adah... sorry for the mix-up..." he stammered which made her burst into a loud laugh on seeing the confusion on his face.
Munah drove for a while before taking his right turn to ward off the park. He parked on the grass and secured the car before opening the door for Adah who came out wondering why she is so happy. She knew that she is being carefree like a birthday girl. She came out and together they walked to a tree and under it were a group of scattered concrete chairs which they sat on enjoying the cool breeze that swept across the park that morning. Adah was the one who started talking, outlining every detail and her needs to Munah who listened without interrupting her. when she finished. The young man took out time to explain how he will help her since he knows a few contacts. Adah was overjoyed and surprised at the same time at his well of knowledge. He seems to know everything! As they walked back to the car, Munah knew that the press will swoop on her at the slightest chance if discovered that she is Adah Denson the new chief of Denson's empire.
"You will have to wear those sun shades..." Munah said starting the car.
"Why?" Adah asked looking at him for answers.
"The press... I mean if they in any case discover that it's you, hell will come rolling..." Munah said as he moved out of the Park. Adah was struck with it as the statement dawned on her. She looked at him and wondered what he will be thinking. She knows that her parents will not like it if she is caught up with the press. The press has been quite known to be very nosy and this is one thing that Adah dislikes about them. At Essex County, she is as free as the air but here these current words from Munah have revealed that she may end up in boredom just for being a Denson.
"There's nothing to bother about. just put on the shades in public places if at any time. we access those places but I don't think we will." Munah said turning to look at Adah. For the first time, he observed her excellent beauty which is far beyond words. Looking at her quite reminded him of how he has been unfair to himself. He has got involved in so many activities just for the sake of survival without knowing that he needs a lady. He looked away and focused as drove towards Palm springs.
" Trust me, I will look out for you. Moreover, nobody will expect a Denson to be seen around in this kind of manner." He said as Adah smiled bashfully as all thought was cleared about the press and their unending busybodies.
" Thank you so much Munah..." she said turning to gaze out through the sealed tinted window by her side. As they approached Palm springs Munah took out his phone and dialed a number. Adah just watched and was impressed to the high heavens by the way he took charge of the whole of her situation. This is what she inwardly desires of her man. His masculinity is awesome, well built and chiseled, fair and hairy, and quite handsome. She took everything in and as he spoke into the phone, Adah discovered to her surprise that he spoke in Spanish. Adah understands Spanish but he is very fluent as if he has spent all his life there. This revelation dazed Adah making her wonder. There are certainly a whole lot of things to uncover about the young man by her side. As he dropped the phone and turned to look at her, he met her surprised stare and could not help but smile.
"How come you can speak it so well?" She asked inquiringly.
"I have worked for a Spanish organization though on a contractual basis. Working there helped me a lot to master the language." He answered.
"Well, am quite surprised, Adah remarked.
" Thank you. I also speak German and French," Munah said turning to look at the surprise that is well written on her face. Adah can only speak French, and understands Spanish but can boast of no knowledge of German.
" Where did you learn all of these?" She asked interestingly.
"I learned them here and the internet helped me a lot. Another thing that quite helped me is the interest I developed in these languages. Though at a time, I was so eager to move out of this country." Munah said entering into a gate that was flung open by a group of security personnel. He parked the car at the visitor's park and rushed out to open her door. They came out and quickly made their way into the majestic building.
"This is the place I told you about. This is a Spanish organization that is into exquisite properties. They sell rent or lease properties to their clients. They are well known and can give you your choice of any property." Munah said leading her to a closed glass door. They entered and approached a white young Spanish lady at the desk. She seems to know Munah because of her bright smile and the greetings they exchanged in Spanish. They spoke for a while after which the lady stood up and entered the opposite office. Ten minutes later, she opened the door and invited both of them into the office. They met this time a young man who may well be in his fifties. He offered them seats and chatted more with Munah in Spanish. Adah saw him press the intercom, and without delay, another lady entered. Her tag revealed her name and office. With that, Adah knew that she is a marketer. To Adah's relief, she spoke in English. Munah had explained to her about what brought them, she had listened with great attentiveness after which she left them promising to be back without any delay. She came back and it was then that Adah understood that they will be going out probably on sightseeing. They were taken to olives. Olives are in palm springs but a reserved area meant for the rich. The buildings and environment shone with perfectness, Adah discovered that the beauty and serene nature of the area will be a welcoming place for her friend. They stopped in front of a four-bedroom duplex that stood out on its own, without delay the gates were opened and they moved in. Munah was quite thorough in his inspection and seem satisfied with the explanations received. Adah also loved the place, especially the swimming pool which looks quite inviting. After seeing it all Munah and Adah were quite satisfied and asked for the price because Adah wants it as a total buy-off. They bargained and at last, agreed on a deal that Adah Denson paid off without a flinch. Also, they were taken to a three-story block on a busy avenue not far from the just acquired duplex. It was an excellent edifice that was finished and furnished three weeks ago and put up for sale. It is entirely for office purposes all built and furnished to perfectness. The length of the property was enormous and perfectly greened to Adah's delight. Adah without any iota of delay made the transfers after a deal was reached. It was after all the transactions that Adah understood that she has made the right decision to bring Munah along with her. It was quite easy and she was able to acquire more than she wished for. She had bought the properties in her name because that is what Munah had insisted on. She has also discovered something special about him and for this, she now fears even her instincts. She discovered all of a sudden that there is this aura of safety she enjoyed around him, their involvement this far is nothing but peaceful, he is one person that treats her with respect, and Adah has warmed up to these natural ingredients of the young man. Adah looked at her wristwatch and discovered it was almost lunchtime. She yearned for good food and drink but was a little shy to say it. She heaved as they walked back to their various automobiles, entering the Jaguar, she watched as Munah still discussed with them in both English and Spanish and when they finally shook hands, she could not help to silently admire his sense of grit and tenacity.
