However, Mr Jergo, who was a well-known Businessman, kept experiencing a series of poor investments and failed projects, leaving the Jergo Family business on shaky grounds. The once-thriving Company is now struggling to stand, and Mr. Jergo is desperately trying to find the solution.
As he sat in his office staring at the list of unpaid Company bills and debt on his desk, Mr. Jergo shook his head in disappointment and bowed his head in shame. He had always praised himself for his influence, wealth and being a good businessman, but everything seemed to be crashing in his face.
Just then his assistant Clara, knocked on his office door. " Sir, you have some visitors," she said with her voice stuttering at every syllabus with fear, as she knew Mr. Jergo was not very happy because of the company's current situation and gave special instructions for no one to cone Close to his office.
"Do you wish to lose your job, Clara? Get out of my office and tell them to come tomorrow," he shouted at the top of his voice, tearing into pieces the list of company bills and debt he was staring at a while ago. "But.. but.. it's Mr Bugatti, your friend," Clara replied in a low tone while shutting the office door. "Mr Bugatti! Ooh, let him in, Clara," he answered with a sudden change in his voice, hurrying picking up the torn pieces of paper on his office desk.

Mr. Jergo served the drinks, they had a toast. " haha! You know my favourite wine, Jergo, you never forget details," Mr. Bugatti Said While sipping The Glass of wine. "Common you are my best friend, and best friends do not forget details about each other" Mr Jergo replied.
Getting into deeper conversation, Mr Jergo talked about his worries on his business with a heavy Heart to Mr Bugatti. Mr Bugatti is a very calculative man, despite the fact that Mr Jergo is his friend and he is able to help, he will never want to work on a loss. To him just giving Mr Jergo a helping hand will make him grow faster than His own business.
They both had a good Time, unwinding and bringing back old School members. Mr Bugatti " ooh my friend i had no idea you were going through all this alone, I will see if there is a way I can help you bounce back, I will get back To you on the phone". Mr Jergo taking a deep breath and jegelling with Joy knowing his friend will get him some help and his Problem will be solved.
Getting home with the Promise Mr Bugatti made to his friend Mr Jergo at the back of his mind to meet with his daughter, Jessica in a terrible condition. Her lying down on the couch gasping for air in an anger and struggling to tier of her clothes.
Dropping his suitcase, Mr Bugatti runs and holds his daughter in his hand and aggressively asks what happened.
" she asked for chocolate and I was told by her mom not to give her any for today again since she had taken enough already" Jessica's nanny tries to explain while stamaming and shivering in fear. " shut up you full, you are fired, have i not told you never to deny her of anything ? If anything happens to my daughter you will pay with your life! She is like this because of your foolishness, get out of my house" Mr Bugatti said at the top of his voice pointing his finger at the nanny.

The fear of losing his daughter once he is unable to get her everything she wants as she grows to an adult is one on Mr Bugatti biggest fear.
After some weeks Jessica was much better, got discharged from the hospital and could head back home, however Mr Bugatti keeps thinking of how the feature of his daughter Jessica, will be. As she can not handel rejection. This made Mr Bugatti think deep within himself.
The next day was still thinking of how he could secure his daughter's features in any way. And suddenly remembered the promise he made to Mr Jergo. " Jergo Jergo my friend, how will I help you without letting you deem my light? I want to help but not at my loss, what can he do for me in return ? " . He thought out loud. " He has a son, Morgan . He will grow to take over his father's business. But how can I profit from that with my family?" After reasoning it out loud he came up with the idea to demand a contract weeding between Morgan and Jessica. As that will assure him of the feature for Jessica as she will grow to love Morgan. And if the contract is signed they get married and live happily.
Days unfolds, Mr Jergo anxiously waits for that one phone call that will lift up the burden of his shoulders. " Should I give my friend Bugatti a call to remind him of his promise ? No.. no.. no.. I will look desperate if I do. He has made a promise and I will hold on to that" Mr Jergo thought within himself. One faithful day on getting to the office Mr Jergo was told by Clara his secretary that he had a call from Mr Bugatti concerning the aid to the company and a that he has been booked for a meeting with him. Will a broad smile he entered his office dancing a jiggle dance and nodding his head.

" but... but... common my friend I need some time to make such drastic decisions for my Son Morgan" Mr Jergo replied
With the heat on Mr Jergo and desperation of saving the families wealth, he signed the document feeling guilt for the condition he put his son in.
