Sam wore her  tiny earphone connected to the bug she left in George's study
It went all squishing and nearly blowing her ears, she had to remove it and refix it before she could hear the transmission as she hopped into Harvey's, ride for the day... A silver Greg land rover

Sam recognize vera's voice immediately the transmission got positioned properly although the voice was faint and distant at first  it got better with time and sam could hear their conversation clearly

"How did it go.... Were you able to convince him"
Vera's asked in her sing song like voice

"Not yet..... But I was getting there before you choose that time to interrupt ''
George retorted

"I'm sorry, I had no idea he was in here.... But am sure he'll come around soon enough, he always does"

''It's not that simple and you are not exactly helping The situation "

'How do you mean "

'You are not even trying to build a relationship with Harvey.... Do you enjoy living together as strangers "

"How can you say that George, You know how hard I try to repair the rocky foundation between myself and Harvey but it impossible because your son is extremely stubborn and hates me, he still blames me for what happened to his mother"

''Well You better try harder and make it possible because one of these days you are going to wish you are on his good graces, something you should have accomplished when he was younger,now when you need him to sign all those fat cheeks for your shopping and surgeries you are going to wonder why you wasted fifteen years doing nothing , that aside I still need to make sure Harvey agrees to marrying Celia, that's the best way to save this family from going bankrupt "

"It's obvious that Celia has fallen head over heels for Harvey "

"Ohhh I know that wouldn't be a problem.... He is a natural charmer just like his father"

"Ohhh don't flatter yourself, there's nothing charming about you "

"I doubt you even mean that..... I charmed You, didn't I"

"You bet..  "

"Vera, I need you to make sure the Powell's get served an heavenly breakfast ''

"Already on it"

"Good.... Pls make sure Celia doesn't disappear and keep her ogling over Harvey..... Maybe take her through his wall of fame.... Just make sure her head is in the right place "

"Yeah I know what I have to do... May I suggest something Georgie "

"What..! What is it''
George sounded impatient

"I was just thinking, if you can maybe draft a contract of commitment for Harvey...... He might just be interested if he knows he is not in for a lifelong deal that way he can just spare a few years playing husband to the barbie heiress "

They fell quiet

"Good point, sometimes your brain actually functions... Why didn't I think of it earlier I guess it because I had so much on my mind.... It's a very brilliant idea.... This way he can be sure this is only temporary which buys us enough time to get the merger done and their investments saving our asses"

Randy stopped at  red light and sam took a quick glance at Harvey through the mirror... He was wearing a frown and his mood was sour.... Did he already know his father is matching him to the princess doll from last night

Then sam tried to pay attention back on her transmitter but it went silent for a while she thought something went wrong until she heard George

"Hello..... Bill.. You can tell El that am working on a strategy to get the cash flow into the company's assets that way we can move the money without Any issues...... Oh don't worry about the accountant... He's on our payroll too..... Let just work on the shipments for now, I'll handle things on my end..... Alright then ''
