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.
