"Is my father around?" asked Nichkhun.

"Master John is still in the office but he will be back early to join you dinner." Simon replied and took Nichkhun's briefcase away.

"Do you know why Dad asked me to come back so urgently?" Nichkhun asked.

"He didnt say," Simon answered pouring him a cup of coffee, "but he has been meeting up with Tony a lot more than usual recently."

"Uncle Tony? What's so unusual about that? They are lifelong friends." Nichkhun sip his coffee.

"Do you know that Tony has a two daughter?" Simon asked.

"Nope, its been a while.....i dont know anything about Uncle Tony, but he had company which called Preston" Nichkhun sighed. Remembering what his father wants him to do. Business marriage.

With the spiked interest in organic farming recently, GreenLife went aggressivelyy into agro-technology but progress has been slow as it was not widely accepted. A large project like Eco-City was the perfect platform to not only develop high tech farming methods but also to show the worldit will change the way of farming as they know it.

", I'm so stupid, why the hell i helped out Victoria on the project, hell I dont know that she worked for the company though...i need to keep this by myself, if dad knows, im dead" he glanced to his father's face.

"Dad, I am sure there's a better way than marriage," Nichkhun prosted, turning back to his father.

"Why? This is strictly for business" his father shot back.
