« Well, let’s see. You’ll lose your company. Probably go bankrupt. Knowing how McKinley Inns can’t pay such amount. Maybe after a year, but my Uncle is an impatient man so you don’t have a year to earn that sum of money. » I ramble.

« Give me time to think about it. » He says softly.

« I am your only—What ? »I couldn’t finish what I said. Happiness rushes into me again knowing that he’s considering the deal.

« I said I need time to think it through. »

« Does that mean you’ll consider the deal ? »I need to confirm it. He nods in reply and I smile happily.

« Well, I’ll give you a day. »

« NO ! I need more than a day. » I know he would say that.

« I can extend it in one condition. » I smile at him.

He rolls my eyes at me. »I think you have an unhealthy habit of striking up deals. So, what ? » I laugh at what he just said. That is so true.I mean, I like striking up deals.

« I’ll extend it if you give me a…kiss. » I smile at him.

« Wha-«  I pulled him immediately to my chest and slam my lips unto him.I felt his arms against the back of my neck. It makes me happy knowing that he’s giving in. I pushed my tongue unto his domain and he lets me in. Fuck, he tastes so good. He has this sweet taste that I know only he in the world have it.

We pulled away from each other and his face is flushed.

« I knew you wanted me. »I say proudly at him and smirks.

« Oh don’t get so conceited. » He pulled from my arms making me pout but he didn’t see it since he turned away from me. I chuckled and place my hands by his hips and kisses his neck. He smells really good.

« I’ll give you three days. Spend it wisely. »

He turns to face me, making me pull back with a pout. I want more !

He takes a second to look at me before he turns towards the door.

« I’ll see you again when I have my answer. » He says as he starts to walk away from me..

« Oh no. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing each other a lot. » I said with a chuckle as he left.

Yes. We’ll definitely seeing each other a lot from now on, Angel.

Alexander’s POV

Two days have passed since my meeting with Mister Gorgeous. No ! I’m calling him Mister Demon.

Ugh. I groaned at my stupid antics. I still don’t know why the man is sticking on my mind like a fucking bubblegum. Today is my last day and I still have no answer.

I desperately needed to think of one.

As I climbed out of the car, I heard a few greetings went directly to the elevator. I reached my floor and went to my office. Lauren is not on her desk. She must’ve went to get me coffee.

When I entered my office, I immediately saw a basket neatly arranged with white flowers on my office table.

I rolled my eyes as I picked the note that came along with it. It was obvious who sent them.

And it was no other than George Garrison himself.

George Garrison has been sending me flowers ever since I had stormed myself into his office. I had no idea whether it was because he wanted to impress me or mock me. But this is the third one that arrived. And I could only assume that the man was really insane.

Dear Future Husband,

Here are some flowers to lighten your day.

They smell good,of course.

Just like you. ;)

Your uttrerly handsome and conceited Future Husband,

George

As soon as I read the note I couldn’t help the stupid blush creeping on my face. This man is really teasing me !

I would like to say that his penmanship is neat. Unlike mine. Well, is there anything that man can’t do ?

Truthfully, I’ve been trying to find a way to get some money and pay the debt, but couldn’t succeed in doing so. It’s like fate is pushing me to that bastard. I hate it. I hate it as much as I hated George Garrison ! What’s even more frustrating is the fact that if within this few hours I can’t find any way to pay off the debt, there won’t be any other choice but to marry him.

And I haven’t even told Katie about it yet. For sure, she’s gonna stop it.

My phone vibrates from my pocket and it I realize I was still standing infront of the flowers and still holding the note. I put the note back on the basket.

I raise my eyebrow as I checked my phone. It’s an unkown number. Maybe somebody will lend me money ? Who knows. I quickly answered the phone with a smile.

« Hello ? » I say hoping it would be help me with my problem.

« Good Morning to you my Future Husband. » As I hear the caller’s voice. I put my hand on my forehead, groaning.

« Ugh. What the fuck do you want ? »I say in a stern voice.

I hear him chuckle on the other line.

« Well, I wanted to know if you have an answer already. » He asks with a smirk.

« I think you called me to grab my attention. » Well it is true. He’s been trying to grab my attention with all the flowers and stuff. Did he really think I wouldn’t notice ?

« Well here I thought I was the conceited one. » He laughs and I chuckle. His voice is so smooth.

« Whatever. So, what do you want from me again ? » I asked him with a chuckle as I walk towards the glass wall on the office that faces the whole view of the city.

« I said I wanted to know if you have an answer already. » Ugh. Damn it. I forgot I need to call people to ask for help.

« I have no answer yet which reminds me that I need to hang up since I need to call for other people who will help me without asking my sister or my hand for marriage. »I tease him and he laughed in response. God,his laugh is so sexy.

« Who do you need to call ? »

« What ? » I ask him as I pace my office back and forth.

« Who do you need to call for help ? » Why is he asking me such question ? Is he gonna help me ?

« Mr. Jason Rodriguez.Why do you ask ? »

« Hm. Nothing. How about we have a bet ? » He asks and I raise a brow.

« Your unhealthy habit of striking up deals is showing up again. » I hear him laugh again on the other side. Why does he keep laughing ? Do I speak like a clown ?
