After much contemplation, Ashley couldn't decide whether or not to pursue a relationship with Alex. Feeling overwhelmed, she took out her phone and dialed Larisa's number, hoping to gain some clarity on the situation. After a few rings, Larisa picked up."Hey Ashley, what's up?" Larisa asked."I'm good, thanks. How about you?" Ashley replied."I'm doing well, thanks. So, how was your date with Alex yesterday?" Larisa inquired.Ashley's face lit up as she thought back to the romantic evening. "It was amazing. He looked so handsome, and the restaurant was like heaven. We had the best time," she gushed.Larisa smiled. "That's great to hear. Did he pop any questions?" she asked.Ashley chuckled lightly, feeling a sense of nervousness rising within her. "Yes, he did. He asked me to be his girlfriend," she admitted.Larisa's eyes widened with excitement. "Wow, I knew it! So, what did you say?" she asked eagerly."I told him he's a nice guy, but that I need some time to think about it," Ashl
As Ashley continued her story, Larisa listened in shock, her mind racing with the implications of what she was hearing."Alex asked for your new contact, but I told him I couldn't give it to him. Then he asked me where you were, and that's when I made the mistake of telling him that you were on your way to the airport," Ashley said, her voice trembling.Larisa's eyes widened in horror. "What? Why would you do that?""I don't know, Larisa. I was caught off guard, and I didn't think it through," Ashley replied, her voice filled with regret.Larisa could feel her heart pounding in her chest. "What happened next?" she asked, fearing the worst."Alex must have told Marcellus, and he rushed to the airport to stop you. But on his way there, his car was hit by a truck at an intersection," Ashley said, her voice barely above a whisper.Larisa gasped, her hand flying to her mouth in disbelief. "No, that can't be true," she said, her voice shaking."I'm sorry, Larisa. It's the truth. Marcellus w
Their conversation changed course as Larisa added, "I need to get a building for my hospital soon."Ashley nodded in agreement. "That's important. Have you found any potential buildings yet?" she asked.Larisa shook her head. "Not yet. I've been so busy with Waylen, I haven't had the time to search properly," she explained.Ashley nodded in understanding. "Well, let me know if you need any help. I know a few people in the real estate business who might be able to help you find a suitable building," she offered, wanting to be there for her friend.Larisa smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Ashley. That means a lot to me," she said, feeling comfortable with her friend's kind gesture.Ashley announced, "I'll be heading to the office now.""Same here, I'll be heading to the real estate agent," Larisa replied, taking a sip of her coffee."Will you be taking Waylen with you?" Ashley asked, referring to Larisa's son."Yes I have no choice for now, I will need to enroll him in a new school soon,"
Larisa nodded thoughtfully. "That does sound promising. Let's add it to the list," she said.As they visited each property, Larisa carefully assessed each one, looking for the ideal location with adequate space and accessibility for her hospital. Despite the long day of searching, Larisa remained determined and focused, knowing that finding the right building was crucial to her mission of providing quality Medical facilities to her country.Larisa and the real estate agent arrived at the first property, a 15-floor building that appeared to be in disrepair. Larisa took a deep breath as she stepped inside, taking in the musty smell and faded wallpaper.She walked through the lobby, examining the cramped waiting area and outdated furniture. As she made her way up to the top floor, she noticed the narrow stairwells and small elevators, which would not be ideal for transporting patients.After taking a quick look around the interior, Larisa turned to the agent with a disappointed expressio
Larisa nodded, "Thank you for being so understanding. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I think it's best if I wait until tomorrow to sign the documents and make the payment."The agent smiled, "Not a problem at all. We can schedule another appointment for tomorrow, and you can bring your parents along to take a look at the building. We want to make sure you're completely satisfied with your purchase."Larisa felt a sense of relief wash over her. It was important to her that her parents approved of the building, and she was grateful to have a real estate agent who was willing to accommodate her needs.As they arrived at the office, they made plans to meet again the next day, and Larisa headed home to inform her parents of the exciting news. She couldn't wait to show them the building and get their approval before officially becoming the owner of her dream hospital.Larisa and Waylen left the real estate agent's office and stepped into a waiting taxi, heading towards Larisa's parent
The following morning, Larisa, Waylen, and her parents woke up at Larisa's parents' house. After taking their baths and getting dressed, they all sat down to eat breakfast together. As they were finishing up, Larisa remembered to call Ashley."Hey Ashley," Larisa said into her phone. "Are you on your way to our house?"Ashley's voice came through the speaker, "Yes, I'm on my way. I should be there in about 10 minutes."Larisa's parents looked up from their plates, curious about the conversation. "Is Ashley coming with us to see the building?" her father asked.Larisa nodded. "Yes, she's coming. She wants to see the building too."As they finished their meal, they chatted excitedly about what they hoped to see in the building. A few minutes later, Ashley arrived in her car.Larisa greeted her with a warm hug. "Thanks for coming, Ashley," she said.Ashley smiled. "Of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world. Let's go see this building!"Ashley greeted Larisa's parents with a warm smile
