Clara followed him to his car and he drove her to her apartment, all the way there she was feeling uneasy and none of them spoke a word to each other.
After reaching her apartment building, she got out of the car and turned around to thank him “ I’m so grateful.., thank you so much”.
“ No problem” he replied her with a smile and added “ don’t go out like that next time, the weather is unpredictable these days” he paused and fished out a business card from his suit jacket “ here is my business card, it was nice meeting you,” he said and then drove off.
She entered her apartment and changed her wet clothes into more comfortable ones. She sat down on the sofa and looked at the business card which the stranger gave her a while ago “ CEO of Ning Enterprises…?” she gasped and covered her mouth. Ning enterprise was one of the largest manufacturing companies in country Z which was owned by the famous Ning family one of the richest families in the country.
“I can’t believe I just met the CEO of Ning enterprises” she smiled dreamily and held the business card close to her heart. “can’t wait to brag this to Maya,” she said.
She looked around the quiet apartment and suddenly missed her best friend she wondered if Maya had already reached city X, it had been three hours since her flight took off. She took out her phone and dialed her number, the phone rang once before it was directed to voicemail “ I think her plane has not landed yet “ she said and dropped her phone. As it was the weekend she didn't have anything to do and just watched television all day.

When Jack reached home he summoned his assistant. “ Sir you called for me,” the assistant asked.
“Take this address and find out every information about the person living there, I want the report by tomorrow," he said and handed Clara's home address to his assistant.
The assistant was surprised that his boss gave him this kind of task, he wondered who got on his boss's wrong side.“okay” took the address Jack's hand in a respectable manner and.
" Is there anything else you want me to do" the assistant stood there and asked
Jack was about to say something but decided not to and replied "No you can go"
After the assistant left, he started thinking about the girl he met a while ago, he remembered her lost expression when she was standing at the coffee shop’s entrance and found it cute. He had never seen such kind of beauty before, smooth and fair skin, round eyes, and small pink lips that looked just like a baby’s “ She’s so beautiful” he muttered smiling foolishly.
"Life's gonna be interesting from now" he added and closed his eyes then relaxed on the couch while smiling to himself.

“Big bro..., want me to hook you up with one of those beautiful babes from the entertainment industry…???”
“ Oh wait.. how about one of those rich heiresses?.., you know.., those that received proper training on manners and etiquettes, I think the ones from the entertainment industry are all fake they're a bunch of Barbie dolls with too many plastic surgeries, you can’t differentiate them at all, they all look the same.”
When he heard his brother mentioned beauty his mind drifted back to the lady he saw at his company’s entrance and her dumbstruck expression which he found cute. He chuckled and smiled to himself.
Jack was startled when he heard his brother chuckled, he turned to face him and saw him smiling. It was rare to see his brother who always had a stoic expression smiled let alone chuckle, With his mouth wide open he said “ Bro .. don’t tell me you prefer those celebrities, hehehe I knew it…” he clapped his hand and beat his chest proudly “Listen up bro, just leave it to me I’ll hook you up with one of those that had plastic surgery from head to toe.., they’re very beautiful and besides that is the trend nowadays”
When he heard his brother's words, he broke out of his reverie and his expression darkened in an instant. He ignored him and focused on the road.
“Get out” Carl stopped the car after some time and said.
Zach thought his brother was angry because he mentioned celebrities, he changed his tone and said hurriedly in a frightened manner “Oh... I didn't’ mean celebrities, I meant princess, princesses, oh no no no no heiresses”
Carl felt helpless and regretted letting his brother into his car, he stopped the car in front of his European-styled home and said curtly “ We're here... get out" he said, tired of his brother's blabbering.
" Eh.? " In the mid of his blabbering, Zach did not notice that they've already arrived until his brother stopped the car. He got out of the car and turned to his brother " Don't worry bro... Leave it to me and I'll find you a very beautiful bride,.. father's choices are too lame and......"
" Scram " Carl interrupted him before he finished talking and Zach quickly ran inside his house which was only separated by a fence from his brother's house.
Carl sighed and drove inside the parking lot, after parking his car he took the elevator and entered his three-storeyed house.
