"Hello Althea? Where are you?"

"I'm on the rooftop. Come meet me here."

I did what she told me to do and met her on the ACG Inc. building rooftop. It's on the 35th floor actually and the elevator ride was impossibly long that I was nauseous when I reached her. I saw her standing at the center of the H, smiling at me.

"What's the craziest thing you've ever done?" she asked as I walked towards her.

"Craziest? Me and my college friends skinny dipped in the university pool late one night after our college general assembly."

"Really?!" she exclaimed

"Yeah, we weren't caught so it was great. What about you?"

"The craziest thing I did was seeing this certain island on the Internet where people visit with the person they love to eternally promise to love each other forever and I promised myself that I'm going to fly over there on my dad's helicopter."

"Have you done it? Really?"

"Well, technically I am on my way t accomplishing It." and before I could react she looked up in the air and I heard a sound from behind me and when I turned I saw a black and red colored helicopter with her obvious initials on it.

"What the fuck! Althea!" I exclaimed upon seeing the helicopter positioning to land on the helipad, but Althea just laughed.

"Come on! This will be the first craziest thing we'll ever do! So come and fly with me!" she said as she pulled me to get in the helicopter where her pilot and his co-pilot are waiting.

"You've got to be kidding me!" I swatted her arm

"Crazy right?" she said as she put the headphone on my head.

"Am I dreaming?!" I shouted once more cause I can't believe what I am about to do right at that moment.

"No love. We'll be flying over the heart island of Macedonia, it's seven hour fly so just tell me if you're hungry or what we have food at the back."

"You're crazy Althea. This is crazy. You're driving me crazy!"

"That's the plan actually." She nodded with a satisfied smile

"Up we go! Matt!" she told the pilot who just raised a thumbs up at us.

If this is the price of being with the wealthiest woman in Asia dear Lord, please double my sanity. That day I was welcomed revered by the fact that Althea is indeed one for the Forbes.

"Congratulations David for closing the deal with our European friends." Althea commended her cousin who has just come back from the three-day trip in Australia and London.

"Thank you Althea. They were very much expectant of you but were very understanding of your happenstance. They even sent you gifts and well wishes." David positively said

"I'm sure to thank them in return." Althea contently smiled and turned to the people in the bar they rented for the small celebration of the successful deal.

"Everyone! Have a good night and good time for a job well done! I propose a toast for everybody especially for our COO David!" Althea called out to the people around her as she raised her glass and the people cheered in return.
