Damien's pov:
Mr Watsons left and both Savannah and I were looking at the plans. I glanced at her again and she was looking at the table, thinking hard.
"Which one do you like?" I asked breaking the silence. She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at me.
"Honestly, I don't know. Like I don't want to sound picky but all the option won't make it better for them. Like some things will remain missing." She explained and I furrowed my eyebrows.
"What do you have in mind?" I asked curiously.
"I actually like the second plan but the kids need a backyard. They are already used to play outside and at their age, they should have this opportunity." She sighed.
"I get it, I kinda like the idea of them sharing the big room. They already share their usual rooms so it won't bother them." I added and she nodded.
"I know and then Mrs Janet can look after them without having to run back and forth to different rooms." She said and looked at the plans. She was looking at a specific place and it was the unused land behind the orphanage.
"If only we could have half of that land." She murmured but I heard her.
She wasn't wrong. If we have that property, the builder would be able to use all the orphanage's land and make it better. Then with the other property, we could make their backyard and add some games.
"I can do that," I said and her head snapped toward me.
"What?" She asked confused.
"I can get that property for the orphanage," I explained and she eyes lit up.
"Are you sure?" She asked and I shrugged.
"I can negotiate with the owner and get it," I said and she nodded.

"Well then, I guess we can agree on the second model." She said and I nodded.
The door opened and Mr Watsons walked in. He went back to his seat and put his parcel on the floor next to him.
"Did you decide what you wanted?" He asked and we nodded.
"We want the second one," I said and he nodded.
"When do you want us to start?" He asked and I shrugged.
"Whenever you can," I said and he reached out to grab his diary. He turned the pages and looked at the dates.
"I can start on Saturday." He said.
Today was Tuesday, so we have four days to make the kids move out and buy all the things that they might need at the mansion.
"That would be great," Savannah replied and I nodded.
"Decided then. I'll be there on Saturday. You can have this plan with you, I have another copy for myself. You can give this one to your interior designer and they will get an idea on how to decorate the inside. If you have anything to add or to remove, you can call me and tell me in the first three weeks." He said and I grabbed the plan from his hand.
I need an interior designer now...
"Thank you," Savannah said and Mr Watsons nodded. I handshake him before making our way to the elevator.
We were now in the car and Damien was driving me back to the office.
"Do you have any meetings this evening?" He asked, all of a sudden. I looked at him and his eyes were fixed on the road.
"No, why?" I asked and he shrugged.
"There's a café not too far from here, we could take a break." He suggested. I could take a break right now.

"Sure," I agreed and he nodded.
He drove to the café he was talking about and parked in their parking lot. We stepped out and made our way inside.
We sat on a table and Damien waved at a waiter. The guy took his writing pad and walked to us. I put my bag on the chair next to me and settle down.
"Hi, what can I get y-Miss Ross."
I looked up and the guy was looking at me surprised. I don't know him but I guess he knew me from the press.
"Hi," I said politely.
"Oh my god, my little sister loves you so much." He said and I chuckled. I wasn't a model or an actress for her to be my fan. Maybe she was interested in business.
"Can I bring her here? She's in the back." He asked excitedly and I glanced at Damien. He was looking at us blankly.
"Humm sure," I said not knowing what to reply. He nodded and literally run to the back.
"Do you him?"
I turned to Damien and he was staring at me with an unreadable expression.
"No," I replied and before he could say anything I heard a loud gasp. I turned to the door and there was a little girl beside the guys. She was looking at me wide-eyed. She looked at her brother and looked at me again, doing a double-take. She looked like she was 7 or 8 years old.
"Hi," I wave at her and she ran to me. She throws her small arms around my neck pulling to her height.
"You look so pretty." She smiled pulling away.
"Thank you but you look more beautiful than me." I smiled and she giggled.
"I watched every interview you did and all your outfits are so pretty. I really like your hair too." She complimented making me smiled widely.
"Thank you. What's your name?" I asked.
"My name is Everlyn." She replied and I nodded.
"Alright, Everlyn go at the back. I need to take their orders now." Her brother said and she nodded.
"Bye." She smiled.
"Bye."
She ran back to the back and the guy took our order, which was 2 black coffee and some chocolate cupcakes.
"Guess I did well to bring you here," Damien said and I chuckled.
"Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about the orphanage." He started and I nodded.
"Since we know that the builder will start their work on Saturday, we need to go shopping for the mansion soon."

Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed the World
The world’s largest VRMMO, Conviction, was almost like a second world for humanity. It had integrated itself into the real world’s economy, with both corporations and individuals seeking their fortunes through the game. In this game, Nie Yan prided himself in his Level 180 Thief. He could barely be considered among the top experts in the game. Though, that was the only thing he could take pride in. He was penniless and unable to advance in life; a situation he was forced into by the enemy of his father. If it weren’t for the little money he made by selling off items in Conviction, he would’ve barely been able to eat. In the end, he chose to settle his matters once and for all. He assassinated his father’s enemy. He lay dying shortly after being shot in the pursuit. However, that wasn’t the end of his story. Instead, he awoke moments later to find that he had reincarnated into his past-self. Armed with his experience and knowledge of future events, he sets out to live his life anew.

Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

The WereLionesses Mate
She was running out of breath, but that didn't matter, all that mattered was getting away from him and proving him wrong. Branches scraped her face and her arms, her body burning hot; but cold from her sweat as the wind blew over her skin. Her pants soaked from running through the streams, her shirt ripped to shreds around her stomach from very low hanging branches. Her hair, a tumbling fiery mess of tangles, and waves slipping through the ponytail she had quickly fastened trying to tame her wild hair. Running and crawling on the ground through the forest floor, trying to get back to the camp grounds so Whhooossshhhh! All of a sudden a giant gust of wind flew past her nearly lifting her off the ground and throwing her into a tree. Where in the world did that wind come from? She thought, but she kept running like it had never happened. She jumped over a fallen log, ignoring the fact that she almost fell in the process. She zoomed past all the trees and sprinted over the roots coming out of the ground. She rounded another tree coming to a sudden halt at seeing him standing there with a drink in his hand laughing and joking. She stood there wondering how in the world he could have beaten her here; He looked at her then, He looked, well, handsome, his faced was clean shaven and his button up shirt was all unbuttoned minus the three at the bottom. She could still visibly see his bronze chest and the top of his ripped-hard abs. He walked over to her and smiled, showing all of his teeth, the smile reaching his eyes. His eyes were dark and stormy, their color was usually a nice honey brown but now his eyes looked mid-night black. They looked like they could kill a man at eighty paces, but could sweep a woman off her feet at the same time.
