"Good day to you too,sir" Vincent greeted.
"Please sit" The man said.
"Good day,Mr Phillip" Blake greeted.
"Oh,there is the man that did NOT trample on a million" The man greeted Blake emphasising on the 'not'.
Vincent looked at Blake with a 'see it' look but Blake ignored it.
"Oh,you should both sit,sit,sit"He offered.
"Thank you sir" They both sat.
"So what is this about?" The man asked.
"This is the next of kin to to Mr Blair" Blake said with his hands on Vincent's shoulder.
The man scanned him from his head to his toe and then turned back to Blake without saying a word.
"The rich men party is coming up in a few weeks and we were hoping to get your support" Blake continued.
"My support? To whom? Him?" The man said and then scanned Vincent again.
"It can work,but on a condition" The man continued.
"What would that be sir?" Blake asked.
"I need to see his spouse. I don't want a situation whereby he will bring a classless or underdressed lady and who knows,he might happen to be bisexual"
Vincent looked at the man in disgust and then at Blake.
"We know that wouldn't be possible. He is to reveal himself and his bride at the party" Blake explained to the man.
"Are you the one to tell me that? I know very well the rules but i can't trust this young man right here"
"I understand sir but in honour of Late Sir Blair,you should consider this young man as the son of the disciplinarian" Blake used his scope.
The man thought about it for a while and then said;
"I guess you are right. Okay,i will be on your side during the party but mind you,if things go wrong,you are to blame" The man said looking at Vincent.
"Thank you sir" Vincent bowed.
Blake looked at Vincent,then at the man and bowed to him.
The man smiled in contentment and then went back to what he was doing.
"Shhh" Vincent sighed as he gritted his teeth looking at the man leave.
"Let's go" Blake said and laughed.
They both stood up and headed outside. They entered their car and began their journey back to the company.
"A bike seems to be trailing us" Blake brought it to Vincent's notice.
Vincent looked at the mirror beside him but didn't see anything.
"You won't see her from that mirror,she is pretty smart"
"She?" Vincent repeated.
"It's a lady,i can tell"
"Wow,you are cool" Vincent praised.

Martha was staying two cars away from the trailed car,she didn't want to be caught,it could be trouble for her.
She saw them take a different route and turned. She wasn't sure where they were heading to but still followed,what if the answers to her questions were there?
They got to a house and stopped. She quickly turned her bike to her left,luckily,there was a path there.
She packed her bike and got down.
She looked at the car's mirror,trying to make sure there was no one in the car. After she clarified that there was no one in the car,she took a sneak peak at the road and then she walked sneakily towards the house.
As she moved further,she saw some guards and immediately retreated. She walked back to her bike in haste and sat on it,waiting for them to go back to their car.
Not long after,they got in the car and drove past her. She got on her bike and followed them back. They were on the road to the company but they took a sudden turn which she followed again.
They got to a house and Vincent went in gently.
She parked her bike again out of sight and was watching Blake through a hedge. Blake was plainly standing by the car.
"When will they eat? I am tired of this endless ride" Martha murmured rustling her hand through her hair.
All of a sudden,Blake's eyes darted to her. She was startled and knew she had been caught,she had to go back.
She turned in haste and bumped into someone. She was about to fall when the strong hands caught her by the waist,pulled her up and kissed her.
