A middle aged man approached Chidi and nicely shook his hand the man's name was Jeffrey, he then looked at Isabella who was also staring at the grand decor and said to Chidi "is she the one" Chidi said with a smile on his face "yes she's the one" Jeffrey then ushered them into a room in the mansion, it was even more beautiful, it was like an office, they both sat on the expensive chairs and they were served champagne.

Then Jeffrey proceeded to pull out a paper from the desk and told Isabella to sign it, Isabella almost choked on her drink she said "why should i sign it" Jeffrey got a bit irritated and said to Chidi "you did not tell her" Chidi then wrongly explained to Isabella that is was for discretion, Isabella stupidly believed him and signed the paper, Jeffrey then ushered them into another part of the mansion, Isabella was so shocked and pleased at the same time by the calibre of people she saw next.
