    It was already getting dark, the sun's ray weakened, casting long shadows. Soft winds carry the scent of evening blooms and the warmth of the day dissipate. One could hear the soothing sounds of nocturnal creatures. Aunt Kathy was sitting in the waiting area with Mr Claude, he's clad in a tailored navy suit, crisp white shirt, and silver-gray tie, with an air of success and refinement that commands respect with his bespoke fragrance and sleek Rolex Daytona complimenting his personality. They were having a deep conversation and they were quite discreet. Tammy sighted them from a distance and walked up to them. Neither Aunt Kathy nor Mr Claude saw her coming, regardless, she didn't hear a thing of what they discussed. "Aunt Kathy!" Tammy called out and turned to Ryan's father, "Mr Claude, how do you do?" she asked politely with a smile on her face. "Very well Tammy. You?" he replied nicely in his deep voice. "Very well too. Thank you. How's Ryan doing?" she asked. "He's stable now,

His assistant, Nelly, walks in with a radiant expression. "Ryan, your father's assistant is here to see you."Ryan's curiosity piqued, a chill crept up his spine, his mind raced with thoughts as to why his father's right hand man would come to see him. He turned to see his father's assistant, Mr Turner."Ah! Ryan, it's good to see you again." They share a handshake."Same here Mr Turner." Ryan smiled. "Please have a seat.""Thank you." Mr Turner says as he proceeds to have a seat. "I'm afraid I have some news. Your father has chosen the one you shall marry.
