Mark was happy to hear that that he stood up and reached out his hand for a handshake. He didn’t expect Charles to shake him but then Charles surprised him by shaking him. This made him believe that Charles had really bought his lies, and trusted him. He didn’t know it would be that easy, but he was glad. “It’s my luck.” He thought to himself. “Alright, you can take your leave now. I have a few other things to attend to.” Charles said, with a smile. “But I thought I was in your league now. Can’t I attend to the things with you?” Mark asked, hoping it was something he would get useful information from. “You are in my league means I have a use for you. And this is the part you’ll be helping me in. It also means other parts or category is none of your business, Mark. Do you want to break the trust you just built with me?” Charles said, through his teeth. “No…no. Absolutely not.” Mark responded hastily. “Alright then. See you when next there is a meeting.” “Yeah, sure.” Mark felt irritated, and angry at Charles. He preferred for Angela to treat him anyhow than Charles having to treat him anyhow, but he had to endure it just to get his goal. He walked out of Charles’ house, and then drove back to his house. While driving, he dialed Angela’s contact with enthusiasm. “I just got back from Charles’ house, and guess what?” “Hmm. You sound like you’re in a good mood. Does it mean you were able to hit the nail on the head?” Angela said excitedly. “Yes, you’re right. He said I’m now in his league. So, I have proved my point. You should be able to give me the money now.” “Alright, I will. You deserve it. After all, we were born to win, and have so many things go our way.” “Exactly.” “By the way, George said if you’re able to fool Charles, we should all have a party together for a celebration in his house.” Angela informed Mark with a smile on her face.“Wow. That’s…that’s great.” Mark exclaimed in disbelief. “I know right? That’s why I’ll be adding to the money you asked for. And you don’t have to pay back.” Angela said over the phone. “Whoa! You are the best sister one can ever have.” Mark complimented her as he felt really achieved. They hung up and then he drove back home. As soon as he got home, he shared the good news to Mrs. Adam, and she rejoiced, feeling much better than she had been feeling in the past few days when Charles trampled on them. Mark was eagerly waiting for Angela to come home as he was going to follow her to the governor’s house tonight. Now, he could see himself trampling on Charles since he was now going to dine and wine with the governor. In the evening, Angela came home, and called out to Mark who was ready. They both got into the car, and drove off to the Governor’s house, through Angela’s instructions. While they were in the car, Angela added more make up to make herself look more beautiful, and sexy if possible. “Don’t you think that might be too much?” Mark voiced out, stunned by how she had not stopped applying more make up. “Well, I need to apply as much as I can to look really dashing. You know all these good things are happening because of my beauty, so you should encourage me when I’m trying to make myself as pretty as hell.” Angela scoffed, and continued with her make up. Mark decided to focus on his driving, and hoped for the best when they get to the Governor’s house. He also planned to make himself recognized by the Governor as well, so he could benefit from him in any way. At least, being acknowledged by Charles was a good start for him to be honored and recognized by the Governor. Soon, they got to the Governor’s house, and Angela was excited as she was ready to show case her skills. Both siblings seemed to have different plans with the Governor, and they were fine with it as long as they weren’t automatically clashing with themselves. They were attended to by the Governor’s maids while they were waiting for him. “His house seems really nice.” “What do you expect? He is a governor, and he has a lot of money.” “That’s why you have decided to stick with him, I see.” Mark said, meaning to tease her.“Well, we all need connections, money, power. If not, you’ll just be like Charles who would be trampled on, soon.” George walked in majestically, and a smile came up on his face as he set his eyes upon Angela. To him, she looked like an angel who had fallen from the sky. And his lustful eyes couldn’t get enough of her. Angela stood up to give him a hug which he opened his arms happily to receive. “So, I’m glad to see that you both are here. And I’m especially happy to see you, Mr. Mark. You just proved how capable you are to do anything to achieve success, and I love people like that.” George complimented him, feeling really pleased with him. “Thank you, Governor.” Mark appreciated him, feeling glad to have been recognized by such an important figure. “Alright, so let’s get to celebration!” George voiced out in a happy mood. “Yeaahhh.” Angela screamed in joy. They drank wine of different flavors, and had enough to eat to their fill. Around midnight, Mark was at the balcony, feeling good as he looked around at nature. He was imagining how he was going to act like a big man when things finally fall into place. Here, he felt small because the governor was obviously bigger than him. He sipped his wine, and then when he turned around to leave, the Governor was right behind him with a poker face.
