Mi stand up inna di hot sun watching the man dem mix marta and lay block. It was a vast space and all the homes and the apartment, and every convenient store, were being built at the same time. So on each structure, there were ten men, and for their size that was enough. Most a di house them more than halfway from the foundation.

"Fi six months outta planning and development this nuh look bad at all, Mr Evans." Mr Denton laughed and patted my shoulder. Never more grateful say mi have on a suit today suh him hand sweaty hand dem nah touch mi.

"When you plan perfectly, everything will be perfect."

"Indeed, I've noticed yuh nuh drop no catch, you are always on the ball!"

I nodded, folding my arms, looking out at what we've done.

"I can't afford mistakes, so I seldom make them."

"She good though?" Mi ask without sounding too desperate for information.

"You haven't seen her?"

"Been busy," I shrugged, "A lot on my plate."

"You'll need to hire a personal assistant at some point," He smirked, "A young man needs his time to live his life."

"I'll think about it,"

"I have a service that provides college graduates who need a starting job," He nudged me, "I'll send someone your way when you give me an answer."

"Alright, no problem, I have to stop by my colleague's club right about now, so we good here?"

"Yes, man, I'll link you."

I nodded to him and we shook hands.
