I had drifted off What were they talking about?

“Well,” I began before inhaling slowly.

“Maybe it’s too much. Besides, this estate would become one of the biggest private sectors in the country” I paused, watching as his brows were drawn together.

“We plan to bring in the most prestigious priylate schools, you know what would result from that.” I allowed my words to settle.

“Everyone would want to buy an apartmight. So even if you get ten percent of everything, at the end of the day, that’s a lot.” My voice is firm.

My phone rang at that moment. I picked the phone up from the table and stared at the id caller.

I ended the call, but the screen lit up almost immediately. “Why can’t she just take a cue?”

I ended the call and turned off my phone.
