"Son, where are you, I am already sending the bridal gifts to your in laws house, shouldn't you accompany me when we speak of your wedding?"
It was his mother.
"Good morning go you too mum, and to answer your question, no I will not be accompanying you, you are a mother and should know what to do, I have to go to the office"
"Yes, you are right, I forgot you just assumed the office of the president in Baron enterprise, I didn't forget to congratulate you son"
"Thank you mom, you should congratulate me indeed, I'll let you organize the wedding"
"Okay son, take care of yourself, I'll calm you after it's done"
"Okay mom"
After the call, he took his bath and headed to the office.
On the other side of town, Ms. Loveth Baron could be seen in front of a big house contemplating her next move.
She was actually in front of the a big villa, although the house was big, it was nothing compared to that if the Barons.
What's more, this building looks so old like it has nit been renovated for a while, a smile appeared on her face when she remembered that her house was just renovated to suit modern times.
At least there was something that makes her superior to the the Swiss family.
That thought enough was able to give her confidence to enter into the house.
"Driver, turn the car and enter the house, also tell the escorts to enter too soon it would be easy to convey the items into the building"
"Okay Madam"
The driver responded and used a walkie talkie to pass the message to other cars and the gateman opened the gate.
At that time, the Swiss family butler saw what was happening informed the madam of the house.
"Madam, it seems you have a great visitor who came with lots of gifts, it's as though there'll be soon be a wedding in this house"
"A wedding?"
Ms. Venetia Swiss who was guiding the maids on how to set the table was surprised at the mention of a wedding being held in her house, there were also gifts called.
She immediately ran to the front of the room to personally welcome the guest.
"Hello Ms. Venetia, my name is Loveth Baron lovely to see you"
Ms. Loveth welcomed her and invited her into the house the moment she heard the Baron name.
Who in this country doesn't know of the Baron family, the are the real definition of power and influence, U Isfahan only she could get her daughter to marry the Baron son, she would become invincible.
But unfortunately, he liked to keep a low profile and doesn't let the media take a picture of him, no one really knew what he looked like.
But it doesn't matter, now that Ms. Baron herald is here, Venetia was more than blessed to have her in her home.
"Ms Baron, you came just in time, we're about to have breakfast, why don't you join us?"
"I wouldn't bother Ms. Swiss to work extra if I eat here, I already made sure to eat before coming"
Ms. Baron felt that she was being polite, but Ms. Swiss took it as she was looking down on them so she couldn't eat food there.
Ms. Loveth then gestured the people behind her holding trays and bags of gifts to bring them forward.
One by one they brought box of jewelry, designer bags, good bars and even a car key.
There were different things being displayed in front of her, non of which would be at a value less than one billion dollars.
Venetia's eyes opened wide with shock and excitement when she saw all the gifts being displayed in front of her.
But then she tried to maintain herself in front of Ms. Baron so that she doesn't have a bad impression on her, she asked with an awfully calm voice.
"Ms. Baron, although there are kind and generous people still remaining in this country, I believe there's a reason why someone should give out gifts, it isn't Christmas yet, so may I ask what the reason for these gifts are?"
Loveth Baron smiled and adjusted her sitting position.
"Ms. Swiss is not only beautiful but a smart woman, indeed one doesn't give out gifts without a reason."
Venetia blushed at the compliments.
"These gifts are sent by the Baron family to ask for the hand of your daughter in marriage"
"Is it true that the young Baron has really set an eye on my daughter and wishes to marry her?"
"Yes Ms. Baron, I think they are even in love, he kept pestering me and even wished to marry as soon as possible"
"How soon?"
"Five days time"
"Hah, that soon? Mr. Baron must really be eager to get married to my daughter, as long as I am happy to hear that, five days is too small for me to prepare for a wedding Mrs. Baron must also understand what I am saying right?"
"Don't get it wrong, it will be a simple family with only a few family and friends, and if the preparations that's your worry, then don't be, Baron family will take care of everything, after all, he is not just an ordinary person"
"Ah is that so? Then I have no objection, I will discuss it with Mr. Swiss, I am sure he will not have a problem with it, you can go ahead with the wedding preparations."
"Alright, I will get going"
Just as Mrs. Loveth Baron stood up from the chair, they heard a loud sound Thudum from behind them.
They turned around to see a woman struggling to pick up the broken glass pieces from the floor.
"Isn't that Bella Swiss? My daughter in law?"
Mrs. Loveth was not happy with the way she met her, she thought that the girl looked more beautiful from the pictures she got of her, they must be edited she thought.
Mrs. Venetia Swiss on the other hand was puzzled to hear Bella being called an in law, wasn't Mrs. Baron here to ask for the hand of her daughter Sophia's hand in marriage?
There must be a mix up.
