San Francisco - Clark Transcontinental Corporation got back on the track after months of struggle since Martin Clark passed away.

Martin is having a week-long meeting in London, while she has a meeting in New York. The twins, Mia and Sophia, they’re missing their daddy so badly and Stephanie came up with a short holiday idea, which Martin agreed and decided to go to Iceland.

Martin’s eyes stared blankly at his private blue lagoon pool at The Retreat Hotel. He arrived at the hotel with Jacob hours ago and needed to wait for Stephanie and the twins which will arrive later. He flew to Reykjavik right after his business meeting ended in London. However, before he went to the airport, he stopped by at the hospital after previously he experienced a bad headache lately.

It was around 10 minutes later, Jacob walked in and quickly spoked up.“Mr Clark, sorry for making you wait. I made a call to all the references and scheduled a meeting online with all of them.

He will travel back and forth from Boston and I got two other good doctors from Rochester too to help him to handle the treatment.”“All the facilities are completed and you supp
