Gael's POV

Ending another semester means lighter load for me, but since I am going assume full time the chairmanship role then I need to prepare everything before the spring term to start

My phone buzzed and saw Sam's name, I read her text message saying she's already in our home town, I sighed if her parents did not come I wanted us to go home together.

I craved the alone time together inside my car. Her laughter all around my car, her sweet smile every time we talk, and her quirkiness is all I imagine on that two hours drive on our town.

I remembered the day I told her mom that they should seek professional advice, I thought she will not listen, but then maybe she valued her reputation more that she agreed on my suggestion

I squeezed in some of my time to check the property Nate told me, we are planning to build another bar just outside New York City. When I reached there I met with the agent and he show me the area, which is besides a tall condominium building.

The agent met me and shake my hand, he show me the way. I meticulously inspect the property, assessing its potential for a lucrative business venture.

We walked around the premises, taking note of the building's structure, the surrounding land, and any possible improvements that could be made.

My keen eyes scanned every detail as I mentally note in my mind the pros and cons of the location.

"So what do you think Mr. Monroe?" The agent asked me, I brushed my fingers in my chin then look at it

"Nate and I need to do some brainstorming innovative ideas to make the most of this property for business opportunity, but location wise I like it" as I roam my eyes on the area

"Yeah your collaborative efforts with Mr. Wilson will help you guys envisioned a thriving enterprise on this promising property" he answered as we went outside

"Thank you so much for today, Nate and I will give you call once we make a decision" I smiled at him, he nodded then went inside the car.

I turned my way to my car, thinking of the property when I froze and the person next to me froze too. It is Fr. Simon and Maria, I could see that Maria given birth now since she don't have any bump. What are they two doing here? And why do I always have to see them?

"Gael a pleasant surprise, you have property within the area?" Fr. Simon asked

"Checking on it" then I look at Maria who gave me a tight smile.

"Oh you know Maria Campbell right? She's our next door neighbor and our secretary way back in our pastoral office" he introduced Maria to me, I nodded

"Well I am helping her settle down here in this state, Samantha and our parents went home already, aren't you coming home for the annual family award?" He asked me casually

"I am just doing some errands father, but I will be there" I simply said

"That's good, you know your mother can't stop talking about it every time she visit the convent" he chuckled I just smile because I don't know why I felt uncomfortable, I think of Sam immediately and I just hope my mind is just dirty like the last time I saw them too, I just hope my mind are just playing tricks on me

"I need to go back in the city now Fr. Reeves, Maria you both take care" I pulled their arms for me to shake then went to my car.

Once inside my car, I took a deep breath as I watch Fr. Reeves and Maria walked towards the entrance of the condo building. I don't know why but there is something I can't pin point about them both, like they are keeping a secret, but it is not my business to find out.
