Dr. Leyla Manstrom walked out from behind her desk to greet the older guest. An unheard of event in the history of AlanTowers, the HQ of Alan Worldwide. The guest was Sir Roy Travers. Leyla escorted the guest to one of the plush chairs and ordered cold sparkling water, a known preference of Sir Roy. She settled in the opposite chair in favor of circling her desk to her own. As soon as the few compulsory niceties were finished Sir Roy spoke about why he was here.

"I need you to get my son, Daryll, into the experimental treatment program for Leukemia at you Denver Labs. He is already well into second stage."

Leyla conceded. "I thought as much. My staff did a bit of frantic research when your office called in this morning. I can get him to the examination. The doctors in-charge will decide if the treatment would be suitable for him."

After a few more minutes Sir Roy departed having conveyed his thanks. Travers Combine and Alan Worldwide were fierce competitors since decades. The enmity between Leyla's, now deceased, father and Sir Roy was legendary. For his part Sir Roy had swallowed his pride for his son's life; he had not expected a helping hand. He had thought he would have to request and negotiate and put pressure, but Dr. Leyla had been deferential and co-operative. While he was in a melancholy mood on his way back Leyla was texting Daryll Travers. " It worked. He did not expect this. Surprisingly I did not have to make myself act much. Roy is quite a personality."

A reply came within seconds. "You are just saying it to make me feel better."

Leyla typed back. "Get your ass to Denver Labs. You do have cancer."

" Hey! relax lady. It is not at all that bad. You fudged the reports, you should know. Now Give me a kiss before I speak to my dad."

It took three more months for the relationship between Sir Roy and Dr. Leyla to thaw. Another three months for the cancer to be wiped out. But the wedding of the decade- Dr. Leyla Manstrom with Daryll Travers did happen.
