Honey, why did you stop here?

Do you like this house?

Yes, I do. It's a nice house. Why are you asking me that?

It's your house now.

What do you mean?

I bought it for us.

Are you serious?

Yes, I am.

You didn't tell me anything. I'm so surprised. I wasn't expecting this. How much was it?

Let's not talk about that now. Let's go inside, shall we?

Sure.

Honey, did you get your food?

Yes, I did. Are you working today?

Yes, I am. I have an event to go this evening. An oil company is throwing a big party.

These evening events always finish late. You always come home late. Can't you just accept events during lunch?

Honey, we've already talked about that. These evening events pay more. We need the money. We have a mortgage to pay. It's good we can get some extra money.

I know. All right, I better get going. I don't want to be late. My boss is pressuring me. He wants the project to finish soon. My job is on the line.

Go on then. We can't have you losing your job.

Marcos, any problems with those oil derricks?

No, boss. They are working like they should. We fixed all the problems.

That's great. Andrew doesn't want to stop production. Oil prices are going up. We have to take advantage of this.

I'll make sure it doesn't stop.

There's a party tonight. I'd like you to come as my guest. Just buy a new suit, okay?

Thanks. I'll do that.

The world depends on us. If we stop production, everything else stops. If oil were to disappear today, the world as we know it would be gone. No food, no water, no clothing, no technology. All gone.

I know.

Meanwhile, we profit from it. It's a win-win.

You're right, Lewis.

Let's go back. So, what do you think?

Well, it's beautiful. How much did it cost?

40 million.

Andrew, can we afford that?

You know we can't.

I've always dreamed of living in a house like this. It's just beautiful. I know you've taken big risks in your business. I know you've invested a lot. I'm really proud of you, honey. I just wanted you to know that.

I know, Laura. You've always been by my side. You've always supported me. Let's check the master bedroom.

Wow, look at this view. It's incredible. It's so peaceful here.

The house is fully furnished. We can move in tomorrow.

All right. Let's do it. Do you finish work early today?

Yes. Then we can go to the party.

Perfect.

Chris, can you finish this section by Friday?

I think I can.

Great. We're 2 weeks behind schedule. The boss is not happy about it.

I know that. He needs to know it wasn't our fault. The material delivery was delayed, and we also had a thunderstorm.

I know, but he doesn't care. This is a big client for the company. He doesn't want any delays. The stakes are high. We have to deliver.

We'll see what we can do. Now, how's Ava?
