"No, I just thought that she was being nice to me because she wanted something in return," I explained.
"And you told her that? If that's the way you said it, I don't get why she would leave," Ben said as he thought about it.
"Well I didn't exactly say it like that," I said as I scratched behind my ear. I proceeded to explain everything that happened.
"You know, I'm not even surprised," Ben sighed. "Do you want me to talk to her?"
"It's alright," I said. "It's already too late for that."
"You'll be fine," he assured.
"Why lie to him? She's comfortable talking to us, but she won't even waste a second talking to him," Ian said.
"Is this still about the bench press thing?" I asked.
"Yes," he replied as he checked his phone. "I have to get going. Did any of you come with your cars?"
"Bicycle," Ben replied.
"I walked," I said.
"Oh well," he shrugged, "See you two around."
I pulled out my book and wrote down a reminder to have revenge on him.
"So what are you going to do?" Ben asked.
"Well, I haven't given up," I replied. "I mean look at you and Olivia. If you could make it happen then I could too."
"That's exactly what I was going to tell you but I'm glad you actually have this sorted out," he said with a sigh. "I know you're on a vacation and all, but if you have no plans, you can come visit."
"I'd love to, but I need to leave for Glen Allen," I explained. "I don't know if you remember Dr. Henry Roberts?"
"Dad's friend?"
"Yeah that one," I said. "Looks like his hospital is failing. He tried his best but some infrastructure is lacking."
"You're going to buy it?"
"I don't know yet," I sighed. "I have to inspect the product first."
"Alright then. Good luck," he said. "I'll get some more reps in before I Leave."
"No problem," I said as I started to leave.
At least my brothers had encouraged me in their own way. Well, maybe not Ian.

Funny enough, I hadn't been in Glen Allen before. I hardly went anywhere around Richmond. I preferred flying out of the country and seeing different locations across the world. I mean, why have a private jet if you can't see the world?
"Thank you so much for coming," Henry said.
"You don't have to thank me yet," I replied. "I just want to see how I can help in any way I can."
"Just you considering the idea is enough," he sighed.
"Why exactly do you want to sell it again?" I asked.
