Doctor Benjamin Murray,
Esmerald doctor who is also the Reyes family doctor.
_____________________________
Good morning Lady Esmeralda,
Am happy to see you again.
I still do not understand why you choose to take the stress of coming to the hospital for your check-ups when I already suggested a home health check.
~Doc Benjamin
It is true you did suggest that doctor,
but I still maintain my decision of not wanting a home health check.
Am comfortable with the hospital way.
~Esmerald
Well,
If you are strong-minded about coming to the hospital for your check-ups then I can not impose my view any further.
I just need a last reassurance that it is not a hassle for you to drive yourself to the hospital almost every day.
~Doc Benjamin
Since the days to my checkups keep adding, no it is not a difficulty.
~Esmerald
Good.
Let us proceed from there.
As regards your last visit, here is the result of your test.
~Doc Benjamin
What does it read Doc?
I hope my baby is fine.
~Esmerald
Well.... Yes!
Your baby is fine Lady Esmeralda.
But the result also indicated something else and that could only be a concomitant of stress.
~Doc Benjamin
What are you hinting at doctor?
~Esmerald
You are stressed, Lady Esmeralda.
This is the major reason for the hormone change,
trouble sleeping, headaches and the rest can cause the baby to conserve energy and move less.
I recommend bed rest for some days.
~Doc Benjamin
Oh! Never mind doctor.
The stress is emotional, not physical, the bed rest would be very inconsequential.
~Esmerald
Seeing that it is something I can not involve myself in, I entreat you to take good care of yourself and abstain from anything that will bring harm to you and your baby.
~Doc Benjamin
Thank you very much, doctor.
I will do just as you say, I would like to take my leave now.
~Esmerald
No problem Lady Esmerald.
Do not hesitate to call me if you experience any discomfort.
Have a good day.
Doc Benjamin
Esmerald departs Ruber Hospital.
Doctor Benjamin Murray
Benjamin is the long-standing family doctor of the Reyes, he is married with four children to his wife Sarah Murray who is a journalist.
Act One Scene Two
🎬
Good morning boss.
I have scheduled the conference meeting for 2 pm as you instructed,
I have also informed the manager of Tesla of these changes.
~Jorge
Very well done Jorge.
Inform Antonio about this and tell him to report to my office at once.
~Mateo
Okay, boss.
~Jorge
A few minutes later Antonio enters Mateo's office.
Good morning boss,
I received your message.
~Antonio
Right! Antonio.
I think I have a better way we can use to win that contract.
~Mateo
Now that is some great news,
tell me about it boss.
~Antonio
Ha-ha-ha!
You need to chill my friend,
First, I need you to do something for me.
~Mateo
Whatever it is boss,
I am always at your service.
~Antonio
You see Antonio,
The market competition is getting tougher hence we need to upgrade our games if we are to continue to
race for supremacy among our peers.
~Mateo
Boss,
ROD is known worldwide as one of the reigning best automobile companies.
We have inscribed our name in different parts of the world through our steady walkover in market business and cannot afford to welcome defeat now.
~Antonio
Brilliantly said, Antonio.
This company has maintained its pre-eminence thanks to my late father's sweat, I cannot fold my hands and watch all his hard work dissipate.
I cannot afford such an expensive failure, never!
~Mateo
Tell me what it is that I need to do and I will get to work immediately, boss.
~Antonio
The CEO of Trans-ever has a very gorgeous daughter, named Laia Erin Evander.
I need you to find out everything about her, I need every necessary detail about her.
~Mateo
Forgive me, boss,
I don't like to seem inquisitive but why are you interested in her? I mean of what use will she be to us in this race?
~Antonio
Oh! My friend is the perfect liaison for this contract.
Let me explain something to you, Come over here and sit with me.
There is a hearsay that Laia is the only daughter of the owner of Evans-trans, and that automatically makes her the heiress of her father's company.
Having her by our side will take the edge off our rivalries.
~Mateo
Haha- Hahaha!
I have always known you to be a walking encyclopedia of knowledge on strategies.
Very impressive my boss.
~Antonio
Since I have a little ardor for adulations,
ị would entreat you to wait till we seal the contract then you can laud me with whatsoever words you wish.
You see Antonio,
I believe that her being the heiress of her father's company is enough reason why we should not be immersed in a premature euphoria.
~Mateo
Well, if you are insinuating that she might be a toughie just like her father then I need to remind you that she is a woman.
~Antonio
Now that is where you got it all wrong.
I do not presume that she will be easily accessible simply because she is a woman, on the contrary women like her are resolute and unswerving.
Trust me, Antonio, ị learned this from the best.
~Mateo
I still insist on her femininity boss.
You should not sweat about your ability to capture her, you are one of the finest men I know boss.
You possess the magnetism to attract her to be on our side.
With a man like you in her case, she will be trapped.
~Antonio
"They both roared with laughter."
Okay!
Now you're starting to get me with your puffery, which I admit is not far from the truth.
Haha-haha!
I have always attracted great women so I doubt she will be any different, and if she proves to be more unique I reckon still be.
~Mateo
I have great faith in you boss.
You have the blood of your late father running in you, hence I won't be surprised if you secure the contract.
~Antonio
Now I must thank you my loyal friend Antonio.
Just like you, my mom believes in me, and that's why am going to avail myself of every opportunity I get to secure the contract.
Enough said,
I need you to get to work, find out significant details about her, and update me.
~Mateo
Alright boss.
I will take my leave now.
~Antonio
As Antonio leaves the office, Mateo immerses himself in a few minutes of self-talk.
That contract is mine.
I will do everything possible to ensure that even if I have to hurt my wife.
There is no chance for failure, the legacy of my late father must stand still and I must shield ROD from its rivalries.
~Mateo
