Gabrielle Crower never imagined that her career as an architect would lead her into the world of Arab royalty. At 48 , divorced for three years, she found stability in her Kola architectural firm, which specialized in sustainable projects for the European market. Her life was predictable, organized, secure, exactly as she had planned after the traumatic end of her 18-year marriage to Thomas Weber, a businessman who constantly belittled her professional achievements.
It was an ordinary Thursday in March 2024 when everything changed. Gabrielle was looking through plans for an eco-friendly housing complex when her phone vibrated with an Instagram notification. Normally she would have ignored him. Her professional account received dozens of messages daily from suppliers and potential clients, but something about this particular message caught her attention.
Good morning, Miss [clears throat] Kraus. I am Sheikh Abdullah bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Your impressive architecture has caught the attention of our royal family. We would like to discuss a special project in the United Arab Emirates. Gabrielle froze, reading the message twice.
The profile showed an elegant man of about 45 years old in traditional Arabic clothing in a luxurious setting. The photos included meetings with what appeared to be high-ranking officials, shiny luxury cars, and what appeared to be royal palaces with stunning architecture. The profile had more than 100,000 subscribers.
and it was verified with a blue Instagram tick. “This must be sophisticated spam,” she thought at first, nervously fiddling with her pen. But her professional curiosity got the better of her . As an architect, she always dreamed of working on large-scale international projects, especially in the Middle East, where modern architecture meets ancient traditions.
After a few minutes of hesitation, she decided to answer politely. Good morning, your highness. I am flattered by your interest in my work. Could you give more details about the project you mentioned? The answer came in less than 15 minutes, surprising her with its speed and impeccable formality. Mrs.
Kraus, our family is planning to build a revolutionary cultural complex in Dubai. We need a European architect with a modern vision, but who is sensitive to our sacred Islamic traditions. You have been carefully selected from hundreds of international professionals after an extensive review of your portfolio. Gabrielle felt her heart beat faster.
Selected from hundreds of professionals. She knew her work was competent and innovative, but international recognition on such a scale seemed completely surreal. Her hands shook slightly as she typed the next question. May I ask why they chose me? We have been reviewing your portfolio for the past 6 months. Your project for a modern mosque in Berlin has deeply impressed us.
The masterful way you have integrated environmental sustainability with deep religious respect is exactly the vision our family seeks for the future of the Emirates. In addition, German women possess unrivaled technical precision and work ethic, qualities that are essential for projects of this scale. Gabrielle immediately remembered the project in question , a small community mosque she designed three years ago for the Muslim community in Berlin.
It was a complex undertaking, requiring months of research into traditional Islamic architecture and extensive consultation with local religious leaders. How did this sheikh know about such a specific and relatively little-known work? This only increased her curiosity and, secretly, her long-dormant professional pride.
Over the next two weeks, the conversations intensified dramatically. Sheikh Abdullah proved surprisingly accessible and sociable for a senior member of the royal family. He posted stunning photographs of Dubai at sunrise and sunset, explained with obvious passion the Al Maktoum family’s vision to modernize Emirati culture while preserving its sacred traditions, and gradually began to include more personal and warm comments in his messages.
“Mrs. Kraus,” he wrote in one particularly touching message. I must admit that, in addition to your undeniable professional competence, your keen intellect and cultural sensitivity deeply impress me as a person. It is extremely rare to find someone who simultaneously understands the complex technical aspects and the delicate cultural nuances of sacred architecture.
Gabrielle felt increasingly flattered and appreciated. After years of feeling professionally undervalued in her marriage, where Thomas constantly belittled her achievements and referred to her as just the local architect, receiving genuine and respectful recognition from an Arab prince was like a balm for old emotional wounds.
She began to eagerly await each new message, obsessively checking her phone during work meetings. She also began obsessively researching the Al Maktoum family, discovering that they really do exist and have ruled Dubai for decades. Internationally recognised for their ambitious architectural projects and progressive vision.
Everything seemed to confirm Abdullah’s legitimacy and his royal claims. The project began to take shape in detail through their increasingly lengthy conversations. Abdullah spoke with infectious enthusiasm about the $ 200 million cultural complex, which would include a museum of contemporary Islamic art, a digital library of ancient manuscripts, a conference center for intercultural dialogue, and a modern mosque.
which would become a symbol of the new Dubai. “This will be the final bridge between East and West,” he explained passionately. A physical manifestation of harmony between ancient wisdom and modern innovation. “The initial budget for the architectural design is $2 million,” Abdullah continued in one of his most detailed posts yet. “But we need to get started immediately.
Our royal family has specific deadlines tied to sacred Islamic calendars and astrological considerations that determine auspicious times to begin important building projects. Gabrielle found herself working late into the night, researching classical and modern Islamic architecture, studying complex building codes, uh, and imagining what it would be like to transform her career working on a project of such historic scale.
Her close friends began to notice a significant change in her demeanor. She seemed more animated and energetic than she had been in years, constantly talking about international opportunities and transformative projects. “Gabby, are you absolutely sure this sheikh is who he says he is?” her best friend, Petra Lindner, asked over Sunday lunch at their favorite Italian restaurant.
This whole situation seems too good to be true. And you know what they say about things that seem too good to be true? Petra, I’ve meticulously checked everything I could “You could check,” Gabrielle replied, slightly annoyed by her friend’s disbelief. The Al Maktoum family has indeed ruled Dubai for generations.
His Instagram profile has over 100,000 real followers and is officially verified. The photos are all consistent and professional. More importantly, he displays a detailed technical knowledge of my previous projects that only someone truly in the architectural field could understand and appreciate. But you’ve never had a video call with him , right?” Petra insisted.
The concern was evident in her voice. He explained to me clearly that royal security protocols are extremely strict in the Emirates,” Gabrielle replied, faithfully repeating the explanations Abdullah had provided . All initial official communications must be conducted in writing through secure channels before any direct visual contact is allowed.
In addition, he is constantly traveling on official diplomatic missions to other Arab countries, so coordinating schedules would be nearly impossible until I arrived in Dubai. Petra didn’t look convinced at all, but Gabrielle was completely resolute and impervious to any skepticism. This was clearly her moment to shine. Her long-awaited opportunity to leave a permanent and significant mark on the world of prestigious international architecture.
Abdullah had recently begun mentioning with increasing frequency the urgent need for her to travel to Dubai for formal and official presentations to the entire royal family. Mrs. Kraus, he wrote in a particularly formal message. “The decisive moment has finally arrived to meet you personally and face to face.
Our family wishes to evaluate not only the technical quality of your architectural projects, but also your personality, character, and cultural compatibility with us. For us, traditional Arabs, personal trust and human chemistry are absolutely fundamental to any long-term partnership.” “Lou, when exactly would be convenient for this trip?” Gabrielle asked, already mentally rearranging her work schedule for the coming months and canceling planned vacations.
“As soon as possible, ideally within the next two weeks,” Abdullah responded with palpable urgency. “We have a very specific and limited window of opportunity in our complex family calendar. If we miss this unique opportunity, the entire project could inevitably be delayed for many months or even years due to strict religious considerations, international political commitments, and the astrological cycles that govern the royal family’s important decisions .
The pressure of time was intense and almost overwhelming, but Gabrielle interpreted it as further proof of the legitimacy of the situation. Large-scale government projects did indeed have inflexible deadlines and extremely complex political considerations. There is just one delicate matter of protocol I must mention, Abdullah added hesitantly in a follow-up message.
Our strict national security regulations require that you travel alone initially without any escorts or assistance. Once you have full formal approval from your family, you will naturally be able to bring your entire technical team to Dubai. Gabrielle paused for a moment. Traveling alone to a distant foreign country to meet someone she had never met face to face seemed potentially risky.
But Abdullah quickly offered comprehensive and convincing assurances. I fully understand your natural and reasonable hesitation. He responded immediately. This is a completely normal and reasonable reaction. Let me assure you that we will provide complete personal safety of a professional private driver, first-class five-star hotel rooms and all meals in high-quality restaurants.
You will be treated with all the respect and care due to an honored official guest of our royal family. In addition, our official consulate in Düsseldorf can provide formal diplomatic confirmation of the royal invitation. Indeed, the specific mention of an official consulate was what finally convinced Gabrielle completely.
Official government diplomatic authorities would certainly not be involved in fraud or criminal schemes. Right? She decided to take the next final step. That same evening, Gabrielle decisively called the United Arab Emirates consulate in Düsseldorf. Good evening. I am calling to officially confirm a diplomatic invitation from Sheikh Abdullah bin Rashid Al Maktoum for an important government architectural project.
One minute, please, madam. A professional answer came. After a few minutes of waiting, yes, we have an official recording of the invitation for Miss Gabrielle Kraus. The cultural project has been approved by the Al Maktoum royal family. Gabrielle hung up the phone feeling a powerful mixture of complete relief and growing excitement.
Finally, all the pieces of the puzzle seemed to fit perfectly. This was truly the moment she had been waiting for . professional glory. What Gabrielle didn’t know was that Abdullah had called the same consulate just two hours earlier, posing as her personal assistant, and confirmed the details of an invitation that had never been officially issued by legitimate royal authorities.
The consular officer, routinely assuming it was standard administrative protocol, simply confirmed the same information she had entered into the system just minutes before Gabriela’s call. With her heart pounding with anticipation, Gabrielle immediately began making detailed plans for her transformational trip to Dubai.
Completely unaware that she was deliberately and confidently walking straight into a complex and dangerous trap carefully constructed over a month by experienced and sophisticated international predators. A week later, after the encouraging confirmation from the consulate, Gabriela’s life took an even more surreal and exciting turn.
She was working intensely in her office, reviewing technical specifications for a social housing project, when a special and completely unexpected delivery arrived. A courier in the elegant uniform of a luxury florist carried a stunning arrangement of white and red roses in an intricate crystal vase, accompanied by a handwritten note on paper, a gold letterhead, and the official royal seal of the United Arab Emirates, to the most talented and sensitive architect in Europe.
May these roses represent the magnificent blossoming of our future partnership with deep admiration and respect. Abdullah bin Rashid al-Maktoum. Gabrielle was literally speechless, holding the note with slightly trembling hands. No one had ever sent her such luxurious flowers, especially with such an elegant and respectful note.
During their 18 years of marriage, Thomas rarely even remembered her birthday, let alone made spontaneous romantic gestures. She carefully photographed the stunning composition and posted it discreetly on her professional Instagram account with a modest caption about the unexpected international recognition.
The comments were immediate and revealing. Fellow architects expressing thinly veiled envy and growing curiosity, current clients inquiring about mysterious new international projects, and even the prestigious German architecture magazine Baut, which contacted her directly for a possible exclusive interview about her international professional developments.
But the expensive and sophisticated gifts did n’t stop there. Two days later, an elegant box arrived, wrapped in gold paper, containing an authentic Hermise silk scarf with intricate Arabic geometric patterns in shades of blue and gold, accompanied by a personalized card. So that you feel culturally at home when you arrive in our beloved Dubai with growing affection.
” Hey, Petra, you have to see this,” Gabrielle said proudly to her best friend during their weekly lunch, carefully unfolding a silk scarf on the restaurant table. A genuine original Hermes. Must have cost at least 800 euros, maybe more. “Gabby,” Petra said carefully, examining the scarf with obvious skepticism.
“Don’t you find it at least a little strange that an Arab prince would send personal and intimate gifts? to a German architect whom he had never met in person. Isn’t this contrary to normal royal protocol? “ It’s traditional Arab diplomatic protocol,” Gabrielle replied confidently, repeating exactly the detailed explanations Abdullah had provided beforehand.
In traditional Arab cultures, carefully selected gifts demonstrate genuine seriousness of intention and deep respect for the recipient. Would it be considered a grave insult and cultural offense to refuse or question such gestures of goodwill? In reality, Abdullah had meticulously and scientifically studied Gabrielle’s full psychological profile through months of close observation of her social media, posting patterns, the comments she made, and especially the emotional reactions she displayed.
He knew for a fact that she had gone through an emotionally devastating divorce where she felt completely devalued and neglected. He knew that she frequently posted about her professional projects but received very little commentary or recognition. He knew that she deeply craved the international validation and professional recognition that had eluded her throughout her career.
Abdullah was in a cruel reality. Mahmud Hasan, a thirty-five-year-old Pakistani who had lived in Dubai for 10 years, working as a basic administrative assistant for a mid-sized travel company. Over those 10 years, he developed and refined a sophisticated, almost scientific method of systematically identifying, studying, and exploiting single European professional women, using a lethal combination of intensive social media research, advanced manipulative psychology, and sophisticated role-modeling with obsessive
attention to detail. The daily conversations between Abdullah and Gabriel intensified dramatically over the following weeks, always following a carefully calculated and psychologically tested pattern. Abdullah gradually began mixing seemingly professional discussions with increasingly intimate and emotionally charged personal comments.
“Mrs. Kra,” he wrote in a particularly touching message that arrived late at night. ” I must confess to something personal that has been weighing on my heart. When I first saw your design for the mosque in Berlin, I was impressed not only by Technically flawless architecture. It was pure soul and a sincere spiritual sensitivity that you clearly poured into your work.
It’s extremely rare to find someone who combines absolute technical competence with such profound spiritual and cultural sensitivity. Gabrielle felt increasingly special, valued, and important after years and years of a relationship where her career had been constantly minimized and belittled by Thomas, who often dismissed her as just another local architect with no real ambitions.
Receiving this kind of profound professional and personal affirmation from a prestigious international figure was like a healing balm for old and deep emotional wounds. ” I must confess, Your Highness,” she responded with emotional honesty, ” that your project has inspired me in a way I didn’t fully expect.” Working on something so culturally significant and historically important would definitely be the pinnacle and ultimate fulfillment of my entire professional career.
“Please just call me Abdullah when we are not discussing formal official matters,” he replied immediately. Royal titles create unnecessary distance between people, and I genuinely feel that our connection goes far beyond just professional or formal. It was an extremely decisive and calculated psychological move.
By specifically asking her to eschew royal formalities, Abdullah instantly created a powerful sense of special closeness and unique privilege. Gabrielle felt even more chosen and special. How many ordinary people around the world could call a powerful Arab sheikh by his first name in casual conversation? Abdullah then strategically began to reveal seemingly personal and vulnerable details about his private life and emotional state.
May I speak with complete frankness and honesty, Gabriel? Being born into a royal family can often be extremely lonely and isolating. Most people approach me only for financial gain, political opportunity, or social prestige, never for who I really am as a person behind the titles. With you, I feel a genuine and refreshing human connection that is extremely rare in my life.
Gabrielle was deeply touched and moved. The romantic idea that a powerful Arab prince, with all his vast political power, untold wealth, and international influence, felt emotionally alone and found a special and unique human connection in her was deeply seductive and flattering in ways she could barely fully comprehend. “I feel this special connection with Abdullah,” she admitted with growing vulnerability.
It is truly unusual to find someone who genuinely understands the true passion for architecture as an artistic and cultural expression. “Exactly,” Abdullah replied, with seemingly genuine enthusiasm. ” You see buildings and space not simply as basic functional structures, but as profound expressions of the human soul and manifestations of culture.
” That is why our family chose you not only as a technical architect, but as, as I can adequately put it, a special cultural ambassador between our worlds. The complex concept of the special cultural ambassador was another brilliant and destructive psychological coup. Abdullah masterfully elevated Gabriela’s perceived status from that of a simple professional contractor to that of an internationally prestigious cultural ambassador, making her feel absolutely important, unique, and irreplaceable.
Increasingly long and intimate conversations began to take place at increasingly private and inconvenient times. Abdullah explained at length that due to the complex time difference between Germany and the Emirates, combined with his extremely demanding and unpredictable royal schedule, he was often only able to have a sincere conversation very late at night in Germany or very early in the morning.
Gabrielle found herself obsessively checking messages at 6:00 a.m. and responding faithfully until midnight. always anxious and excited, anticipating the next emotional interaction. “You’re working too hard on that mysterious Dubai project,” commented Klaus Weber, her office assistant of five years, noting with growing concern that Gabrielle seemed constantly distracted and exhausted during important meetings with local German clients.
When was the last time you got a full night’s rest, you look exhausted. This is an international project of historic scale. ” Klaus,” Gabrielle replied defensively, slightly annoyed by the intrusion. Projects of such importance and complexity require complete dedication and absolute commitment. You can’t fully understand.
She didn’t want to admit even to herself that she was losing sleep not only because of the intense technical work, but because of the addictive emotional arousal from intimate communication with Abdullah and the constant anticipation of his affectionate messages. Abdullah then carefully revealed the next strategic level of his sophisticated psychological manipulation.
Gabriel, I need to share something extremely confidential and sensitive that could completely transform your professional life. Our family is considering not only this initial cultural project, but a whole series of revolutionary architectural developments over the next 5 years. We are talking about total investments exceeding $500 million in cultural, educational and residential projects.
Gabriela’s eyes literally lit up with excitement. 500 million euros in architectural projects. This would completely transform not only her career, but her entire financial situation and position in German and international industry. If our partnership on this first project is exceptionally successful, Abdullah continued strategically, you will automatically become our exclusive lead architect for the entire ambitious cultural modernization program of the emirates for the next decade.
Imagine the historical impact we would have together on the future of contemporary Islamic architecture and the dialogue between civilizations. Gabrielle began to dream obsessively. She saw herself designing international museums, prestigious university libraries, historic cultural centers, educational complexes, perhaps even entire universities.
Her name would be mentioned with reverence alongside the great legendary international architects. She would be recognized as a historical pioneer in sustainable Islamic architecture and intercultural dialogue. “There is only one traditional protocol consideration,” Abdullah added hesitantly, as if reluctant to mention it.
For projects of such extraordinary scale and political sensitivity, our family follows centuries-old protocols that require specific assurances of complete commitment and absolute seriousness. Nothing personal against you, of course, just sacred traditions that have been studied for many generations. What specific type of assurance? ” Gabrielle asked with growing curiosity, though a small voice in her head whispered caution.
“A symbolic investment on your part in the initial project,” Abdullah explained calmly. This demonstrates genuine seriousness and real commitment according to ancient Arab traditions. Let ‘s say around 15,000 euros to cover the initial costs of complex government licenses and specialized legal training. This is fully refundable immediately.
After the final major contracts were officially signed, Gabriela paused for a longer moment. 15,000 euros is certainly a very significant sum for her, representing a significant portion of her personal savings. But if it was genuinely returned after the contracts were signed and given the potential income of 500 million euros in future projects, I fully understand your natural and prudent hesitation, Abdullah hastened to say, as if reading her mind.
It is precisely because I absolutely do not want you to feel pressured or uncomfortable that I suggested starting with a smaller project to build strong mutual trust and demonstrate our seriousness. “ No, don’t worry,” Gabriela quickly replied , not wanting to appear hesitant or irresponsible. “ I completely understand the need to demonstrate professional seriousness.
It’s just that €15,000 is quite a large sum for me right now.” Of course, that’s completely understandable,” Abdullah responded with obvious sympathy. “ How about an alternative offer that would be more comfortable for you? You come to Dubai first as our guest of honor, meet our royal family in person, visit specific sites of the project, and fully understand the scale and potential.
If, after three full days of personal evaluation, you decide that this is not the right opportunity for you at this time, we will cover absolutely all of your travel expenses, no questions asked, and there will be no financial obligation.” The offer seemed not only reasonable, but generous beyond expectations.
Gabrielle would have the unique opportunity to evaluate everything personally and face to face before making any actual financial commitment. Furthermore, Abdullah added, as a final gesture of goodwill, as a specific proof of our seriousness and respect. I will personally cover all expenses for your entire trip to Dubai.
First class airfare, five-star hotel with an ocean view, professional personal driver. All meals in first-class restaurants. You will be greeted and treated as our absolute guest of honor. The offer was simply irresistible. An all-expenses-paid trip, a luxurious first-class experience, the opportunity to evaluate the project with no initial commitments.
Gabrielle felt as if she had won both a professional and personal lottery. “Abdullah, I am deeply and sincerely flattered by your exceptional generosity,” she replied with sincere gratitude. ” I accept your kind invitation with great pleasure and anticipation.” Wonderful. An immediate and enthusiastic response came.
My personal assistant, Amamirah, will contact you within the next 24 hours with all the specific details of the trip and itinerary. Oh, and Gabrielle, yes, I sincerely look forward to finally meeting you in person face to face. I have a deep a feeling that our collaboration would not only dramatically change the architecture of the Emirates, but would be the beginning of something very special and meaningful between us as people.
Gabrielle hung up the phone, feeling intense butterflies in her stomach and her heart pounding. “It was just natural professional excitement,” she told herself firmly. But a small, insistent voice in her head whispered hopefully that perhaps this was the beginning of something romantic and transformative.
She also had no way of knowing that Amira was actually Mahmoud’s cousin, Ahmad Hassan, who worked for a mid-sized travel agency and had arranged the seemingly luxurious tickets, which were actually purchased with the cloned credit card of a previous victim. She also had no idea that the five-star hotel would indeed be a high-quality hotel, but the room would only be for two nights, not the full five days as promised.
With growing anticipation and a heart full of hope, Gabrielle enthusiastically began packing. for her transformational trip to Dubai, confidently imagining she was embarking on the professional and possibly romantic adventure of a lifetime. In the cruel reality, she was deliberately and confidently walking straight into a complex and dangerous trap that could cost her not only her entire life savings, but potentially her freedom, safety, and perhaps even her life.
Emirates flight 43 from Frankfurt to Dubai departed punctually at 2:30 PM on Tuesday, April 2024. Gabriela had never flown first class in her entire life, and the experience completely exceeded her expectations. A seat that transformed into a comfortable bed, Maison Pirriguenn champagne, gourmet food, impeccable service.
She finally felt like a true VIP, discreetly snapping photos to share with her friends later. During the seven-hour flight, Gabriela researched Emirati architecture, took notes for her presentation to the royal family, and fantasized about her new life as international architect. Forty-eight years after a decade of modest local work, she finally felt her career taking off in spectacular style.
Abdullah sent an encouraging message before her flight. My personal driver Hassan will meet you at the airport with a sign with your name. He will take you directly to your hotel to rest. We will meet tomorrow for breakfast at Bur Allah Arab. I can’t wait to meet you in person. Oh, Dubai International Airport was even more impressive than she expected.
Vast, ultra-modern, full of luxury shops and elegant travelers from all over the world. She felt part of something grand and cosmopolitan. In the arrivals area, Gabrielle looked for a sign with her name. There was none. She waited 15 minutes, then 30. She began to feel anxious, but rationalized that traffic in Dubai could be unpredictable.
After 45 minutes, a middle-aged Arab man approached her hesitantly. Excuse me, ma’am, are you, Ms. Kraus, from Germany? Yes, it’s me, Gabrielle answered with relief. You must be Hassan. The man looked confused for a moment. Oh, yes, Hassan. Sorry for the delay. Traffic was very bad today. Sheikh Abdullah sent me to pick you up.
Gabrielle noticed that Hassan’s English was basic, and he seemed nervous, but she attributed it to cultural differences. Hassan led her to a simple Toyota Corolla. Not quite the luxury vehicle she was expecting, but she rationalized it as security protocol. Hotel Atlantes. Correct, Hassan asked uncertainly. Actually, Abdullah mentioned a five-star hotel, but he didn’t specify which one, Gabrielle replied.
Hassan looked more confused, but nodded positively. Yes, a very nice hotel. You’ll like it. During the forty-minute drive, Gabrielle tried to make conversation. How long have you been working for Sheikh Abdullah? Hmmm-sometimes- Hassan answered vaguely. He’s a good boss. It must be exciting working for the royal family, she insisted.
Yes, very exciting, Hassan agreed. But he seemed uncomfortable with the topic. The hotel was truly luxurious. Germer Beach. A five-star hotel with impressive views of Nabourei. Elrap. At 8:30, no message. At 9:00, she began to worry. She tried calling again. The phone immediately went to voicemail. She left a second message, trying to sound casual despite her anxiety.
At 10:00, the WhatsApp message finally arrived . Gabrielle dear, a thousand apologies. Urgent family emergency. My aunt has been hospitalized in critical condition. The entire royal family must be present. Unable to meet today. Gabrielle felt disappointed, but understanding. Family emergencies happen, especially in traditional cultures.
I understand perfectly, Ana replied. I hope your aunt He will recover. When can we reschedule? Tomorrow for sure. I will compensate for this inconvenience. Lunch at the most exclusive hotel in Dubai. I will send the driver at 13:00. Gabrielle spent the day exploring Dubai on her own. Burqa Ilifay.
Traditional markets, Maul oaks. The city was fascinating. A mix of Arabic tradition and futuristic modernity. She felt inspired for the projects she would develop with Abdullah. On the second day, she waited in the lobby at 13:00. At 13:30, nothing. At 14:00, a new message. A family situation has become complicated. An aunt is in critical condition.
It is impossible to leave the hospital. We can reschedule for tomorrow. This time, Gabrielle was more upset. Two consecutive postponements seemed excessive. Abdullah, I understand the family situation, but I also have commitments in Germany. I need a more defined schedule. You are right. Family sometimes complicates business.
Tomorrow, definitely, if you can’t meet me, I’ll send my brother, Prince Hidi. He knows all the details. P
