Chapter 22 Spotlight

• A voice cleared into the mic drawing the attention of the guests onto the stage. He was tall and well-built and anyone in the Elite circle know him as Don Mateo. He is a close friend to Ray and they are two peas in a pod.
• Louis Wood looked at the man and smiled he knew he will be here and he will not waste this opportunity to introduce him to his daughter. Don was someone he really admired and would love to pull him into his family as all the Business men seem to shy away from him whenever he makes a move to approach them. This evening has been a bad loss for him indeed. He could have made million dollar deals and got investors too.
• Mavis Wood turned and saw her husband smiling while looking at Don. She calculated in her head and yes if her daughter marries Don they will never be disrespected again. She saw the struggles her husband has been going through since they arrived and she has been smiling foolishly to maintain her grace and save their face. Don’s Grandfather was a sailor and loved ships. He built most of the Harbors in Port City making their legacy rich. Don’s Father Sean Mateo inherited the love for Ships but he changed it into a trading port and started to mine the Oil in the sea after buying the rights to it. He then handed all the fortune to Don, he sailed the seas to various countries with his wife Marie and for 5 years they have not come once to Port city. A person like this will make her family thrive and for the first time in a long while she actually agrees with her husband.
