Falih and his security team escorted the girls to the airport. On the tarmac were two planes, the Antonov will deliver the paintings back to Moscow, and the girls will fly to South America in the Gulfstream.

"My father has spoken to you?" Falih asked Chloe.

"Yes." she blushed.

"I apologize for our custom. I should be the one bringing up the proposal."

"I'm honored. Really." she smiled sweetly.

"But will you consider?"

"We barely know each other. We only met two days ago."

"Enough to see who you are." he took her hand, she didn't reject. "Claudia, or Chloe, whichever you like to be called, I don't mind that. I read your file, everything you did, you did for the good of others. You have a good heart. That is all I see."

As the crew finished loading, the Antonov began taxiing away, leaving the Gulfstream starting its engines.

"I have to go." Chloe took a step back.

"I will wait for you." Falih kissed her hand like a gentleman. "I know it maybe too early to say I love you, but I wish to say it on your return."

Chloe could only smile, she stepped up the ladder and into the jet. She found everyone grouping to one side, no doubt watching the two lovers parting.

"Damn it! I told you to take off and leave them behind!"

"Yeah! We really should!"

"Don't worry. We'll get you back in one piece, Princess!" the girls started teasing.

"Stop it!" Chloe blushed.
