▶️
 Most of the newer houses in Portia were built by our company. Gust did the designs and I did the construction work. So if you ever need to upgrade your house, workshop, or anything else--just come down to our office.

 Have you ever met Gust's sister? She looks so fair. She doesn't come outside very often. I've only seen her a few times.
 I worked hard for this. Money is a good thing. Other than reinvesting, I just want to have fun with it! Haha!
 I wish I were Gust. He's very gifted in structural design. Lucky he's my partner, or my days wouldn't have been so easy.
 Portia is on the small side, but pretty girls are plenty!. I'm having a hard time picking!
 As a builder, there's a lot of things we can collaborate on. Keep in touch!
Friend

 I think you are good, you deserve better than those girls.
 Let's play sometimes. You certainly have my attention.
Boyfriend

 Recently the company hasn't been busy. I'm free. How about you ask me out?
 It's nice to have you. Our win-win partnership will make us the richest in the entire alliance.
Spouse

 Ever since marrying you, I felt fullfilled and meaningful. It's like I've found something more important than making money in my life. That's being with you.
 Making money is important, but not worth the risk to put yourself in danger. You be safe!
Unhappy

 If we are not compatible, let's end it now. There's other fish in the pond.
 The only reason I'm talking to you now is about the business. Don't bother me with anything else!
