Neli was taken by her husband to the mansion because today is the day where Grandma will bring her to the location of her new coffee shop inside the mall she owns, and her mother-in-law tagged along saying she wanted to buy clothes for her to wear when her belly grew.

They went to the mall after her husband left to go to his work, and they first went to the location where her coffee shop will be opened. The workers immediately stopped working when they entered, and saw the renovation was about to finish as well. They immediately started to renovate the shop last week, when she agreed with her husband that she would not enter the entertainment industry and just opened her own coffee shop.

Neli designed her shop to be warm and cozy yet elegant, the location has a wide space so she made sure that there would be space between each table to have a private space so her future customers could feel relaxed and talked comfortably. There is also a large balcony outside and from there they could see the huge buildings that surrounded the mall.

After seeing the interior of her coffee shop, they decided to go out to find something to eat first before they do their shopping when the head contractor suddenly approached them, he was accompanied by an old man and two women.

"Good morning, Old Madam Valdez." he greeted Grandma, and also bowed and greeted them. "Old Madam, I want you to meet Senator Sanches and his wife and daughter."

The old man who was probably in his late fifties immediately introduced himself and shook hands with the three of them, he also introduced his wife Tanya and her daughter Sanya Sanches who is almost the same as her age.

"What brings you here, Senator Sanches?" Grandma asked.

"You see Madam, my daughter planned to open a coffee shop at this location two weeks ago, she completed all the requirements to open her business but unfortunately we didn't know that this location was already occupied."

"My granddaughter will open her coffee shop here as well, and no applicant applied for this location two weeks ago." Grandma explained. "If you want, I will inform you once there is a vacancy in my mall."

"Madam--."

"Sorry, I can't help you if you will ask me to give this location to your daughter." Grandma said firmly. "We started the renovation a week ago and we are expecting to open the shop within a week or so."

"No, I mean... perhaps you will allow my daughter to be your granddaughter's business partner?"

"No, I'm sorry Senator Sanches."

Neli noticed the sadness on the Sanches family's face when her Grandma refused, perhaps they really like that location because they personally went there. And maybe because of her pregnancy, she can't help but feel sad and sympathize with the Sanches family.

"Grandma, can we talk to them while we're eating?" she asked.

The Sanches family's eyes shone because of her words, and her Grandma couldn't do anything but smile and sigh.

While they were having early lunch, she told them that she would accept their offer to be her business partner if they had the same plan for the coffee shop, she even asked them about their business plan and it was almost aligned with her plan. So in the end, she agreed to be their business partner.

"Are you sure, sweetheart?" Grandma asked her.

"Do you really want to have a business partner?" her mother-in-law added.

"Yes Mom, Grandma." she answered them.

Neli knows how busy her mother-in-law was with her business and she also doesn't want to disturb her grandparents time with each other, so she has decided to hire a business partner so that somehow, someone could help her in the shop that she will open.
