Business Proposal.

The world is all the same

throughout the world, but not all the same to all of the people living in this

world even though despite being all human beings who share the common theme of

making the betterment of this world, but still there is some of the people who are

still living within poverty conditions while others enjoy the luxurious life

bestowed upon them.

This is no different in

Mexico City as the moon is shining while the clouds are passing over the moon

in slow motion, accompanied with the howling of the owls on the trees as it is

1:30 pm in the midnight.     

The party keeps on going

inside the club while the guards are standing on the club stairs with their

black suits and black sunglasses. Scanning around the club places while making

sure that everyone who is inside the club is safe and sound since this is the

usual time for all of the Mafia gangs to do their businesses and their

transactions all over the cities.

It is a family business

day, Mateo and Alejandro’s family are inside the club together as a family

doing business together as the party keeps on going on inside the club as they

are all sitting down together on their chairs, surrounding the table while

looking at each other while the guards keep on patrolling inside the

club.  

"Mateo! Don't you

think your idea will put my business into jeopardy? What if your business fails

to perform to its actual standard this year?" Alejandro asks, furrowing

his brows while looking at Mateo with a puzzled look on his face.

Mateo sighs and speaks,”

Brother trust me on this this time. There is no way I’m going to let you down

this time.”   

Alejandro grabs his cigar

resting on the top of the table, and then pinches it in the middle of his

teeth. Lighting it up with his lighter as Mateo and his daughter Camilla look

at him with bewildered looks on their faces.

“My brother, Juan Mateo.

Last year you lost almost half of your cattle in your ranch due to a virus

outbreak. What gives you the idea to think that you will overcome this by

lending me another loan for your business?”

Mateo glances at his

daughter, Camilla with a baffled look on his face. Not knowing what to answer

since there is no guarantee for success if Mateo takes the loan from

Alejandro’s family for his business.       

“I will find every way to

return your money. But please, I really need your help right now.” Mateo says

As the conversation

proceeds between Mateo and Alejandro’s family. Camilla looks pretty

uncomfortable with her red miniskirt that she wore and red lipstick smeared on

her lips, but she has no choice but to comply to her father’s order since this

are not the kind of dresses that she prefers to wear rather than she always

prefers to wear long dresses since she is a good Christian girl who have been

raised with good moral values by her

mother.            

Alejandro sighs,

"Mateo, things don't work like that. What if your business ends up failing

miserably, and then you fail to return back the money that I owe you?"

Suzanne (Alejandro’s

wife) interjects. “Yes Mateo, what if things go wrong later on, tell us what

are you going to do to overcome that.”  

Camilla’s skin prickles

with the chills and creeps running all over her body, averting her gaze and

looks down on the ground as Albert is looking at her with a lustful look on his

face. Creeping her out since he is the person that she hates with all of her

heart due to the fact that he is the one who has been causing a lot of chaos in

her relationship with the man that she loves.       

Mateo sighs and rolls his

eyes, "Brother, we have been business partners and friends for quite a

while, and also we have done a lot of things together since last time we met.

Do you really think this time I’m going to turn against your back?"

Mateo’s words give

Alejandro a pause of thoughts for a second as he glances at his wife, thinking

on what to do considering Mateo’s case.     

Alejandro nods,

"Okay, I will reconsider your proposal again concerning investing in your

farm business."

Mateo's smile widens,

"Thank you brother! Thank you so much."

Suzanne interjects,

"But in one condition."

Mateo and Camilla glances

at each other with bewildered looks on their faces, and then returns back their

gazes to Suzanne.

"What is that

condition, Mrs. Suzanne?” Mateo asks with furrowed brows.

Suzanne and Alejandro

look at each other, and then return their gazes back to Mateo.  "Mr.

Mateo, we want you to allow our son Albert to marry your daughter Camilla, and

also we will agree on merging our business with yours so that we can grow our

business together as a family."

Mateo's smile widens,

“Absolutely Alejandro, what great news is that.”  

The best news for Mateo

and his business since this is going to be life changing for him and his

business and also this is the worst that Camilla has ever heard. In her whole

life, she has never expected that someday she would have been receiving a hand

of marriage proposal from a Mafia gang family which she actually didn’t expect

that something like this would ever happen to her.

“Noooo! Nooo! This can’t

be.” Camilla speaks to her thoughts with a bewildered look on her face as Mateo

and Alejandro are rejoicing with the marriage proposal news, and the stake of

refusing it in front of her father will start another chaos between her and her

father.
