Charlie looked at the villa model, completely taken aback, and asked, "Is this a gift from your mom?"
"Yeah, she wanted to thank you!" Kya replied with a grin.
Charlie took the model and chuckled. "Does your mom think I'm just a kid or something?"
Kya laughed back and said, "We're all good kids!"
Charlie's smile broadened. He found the model intriguing, especially when he flicked the tiny swing on it, setting it in motion. It made him laugh.
Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind.
He took out his phone and dialed Jonathan. "You've got a piece of land across the mountain from your Villa del Sol, don't you? I'll take it!"
Jonathan responded coolly, "That land isn't suitable for commercial use. What do you want it for?"
"I'm thinking…" Charlie held the villa model, his eyes twinkling, "I'm thinking of building a villa."
Jonathan laughed, "Are you building a fancy villa for some girl you like? Not satisfied with the ones already out there, now you want to build your own?"
"Can't I live in it myself?" Charlie replied with a chuckle.
Jonathan thought for a moment, then agreed without any more teasing. "Alright, I'll have the paperwork and details sent over in a couple of days."
"Cool, thanks!"
"No problem!"
Having hung up, Charlie immediately called his assistant. "Find a construction team, I want to build a courtyard. I'll send you the design."
Charlie placed the model on the coffee table and snapped a few pictures to send to his assistant with a text: "This is what I want it to look like!"
Jason laughed back. "Of course it will!"
Estelle chuckled, "Then you can't call me irresponsible anymore!"
"That's a different thing!" Jason retorted with a laugh.
"By the way," he added, "Harriet wants to throw a celebration party for you when you're free."
"Let's wait until Sophia gets back," Estelle suggested. "I'm afraid it's not so much a celebration as a trap!"
They both wanted her to be more responsible, and she wouldn't be foolish enough to walk into a situation where they could verbally and textually attack her.
Jason chuckled, "You're a lot smarter now!"
With a hint of pride, Estelle responded, "I've been in the real world for a while now. I can't still be the impulsive kid I used to be!"

Someone needs to send a new picture of Trevor to Oliver and Luke so that they will get their requested reports to Gonzalez asap. If they didn't know, now they know what awaits them if they continue to disrespect and NOT follow orders....
Well, well, well. I love how Gonzalez sent out the warning that he's the CEO and either they will acknowledge him as such or get their due diligence. I'm waiting to see how the Franco family will be walking on eggs and come into a new understanding of Gonzalez taking charge. Thank you so much for the five updates....
Adrian is hoping that he has a chance with Norah and will do everything and anything in his power to keep Norah and Xavier apart....
Thank you for the updates. I hope that Norah will remember Xavier and their relationship before the accident and that they will ever be to....
Thank you, thank you for the updates today, which is also my birthday. The saga continues. I really want Norah and Xavier to be together... but he has to want Norah....
May we have updates please. Thank you....
Why can't m Xavier just admit that he loves Norah...
Why can't m Xavier just admit that he loves Norah...
Norah took Estelle to tutor her brother. Both of them are around the same age. So why is Janice and Xavier father feel that there's an age gap for Norah and Xavier. L I know they will be together....
Norah isn't a girl, but a twenty -five year old beautiful woman that loves Xavier Fleming/Gonzalez/Hanson....
