Charles wondered what exactly he needed to do and how much benefits he and Mr. Grayson would get for a business trip to have been mentioned.“We would have gone together, but right now, I have a lot on my table.”“It’s fine. I’m all ears.”“There’s this man, called Alaric Dane. He is a multi-billionaire who owns many lands, companies, cruise ships, etc. I need to get him to buy a land of mine which is at Chicago where he is.”Charles leaned against his chair with keen interest as he wanted to understand where Mr. Grayson was heading to.“If he buys that land, the money that comes from it would be used to make these special robots in bulk as I have just signed a deal of sending about a thousand of these robots to an influential man.” Mr. Grayson explained.“Alright?”“But Mr. Dane is very obstinate. It takes a lot to persuade him to do something, or you might not be successful at all. I have been trying to make him buy my land, but it hasn’t worked, but I believe you can make it work.”

Charles decided to ignore it, thinking maybe she was just like that—weird, and smiling."Alaric is having a meeting right now. He actually didn't plan for it. It was a sort of impromptu meeting. It was uncalled for so he had to attend to it using Skype. He'll be down in a moment, so in the meantime, I can keep you occupied. I'm Josephine, Alaric's wife." She explained, then introduced herself as she walked to him, extending her hand.He shook it politely and she held onto his hand. Charles wondered what was wrong with her. She had just called herself Alaric's wife so why was she still trying to flirt with him? Was she there to sabotage his mission?"Would you let go please?" He asked, the words polite and soft but nothing like the hard look in his eyes, and she smiled and left his hand."You're just what I like. Well, follow me. I want to give you a tour of our house as requested by Alaric. He's sorry for keeping you waiting when you must be busy so he wanted you to take your mind of

Charles immediately fished out a casual sweatshirt, took off his white shirt, and pulled the sweatshirt over his head.Business men did anything for business' sake, he kept on repeating in his head as he styled his hair in front of the mirror."Perfect." He whispered to himself, slathering cream on it. All he needed at the moment was the perfect way to gain her trust. She wasn't to know that it was the power she exercised over her husband that he needed, and not her, unless she might be unwilling because he could tell she was going to be a handful of she wanted to cause trouble.After trying to look his best, Charles left his house in a casual yellow sweatshirt, grey pants, and his hair styled to perfection while still maintaining a casual look, and hailed a cab, telling the driver the address he was going to. About half an hour later, Charles showed up at Mr. Dane's residence when the moon was already high in the sky, shining down in a beautiful crescent. His fingers found the bell

"Jeez!" Charles muttered as he bent his head to the table."What's wrong?" Josephine asked, and chose that time as the right time to take off her glasses."Would you put on those damn glasses?" He whispered through clenched teeth."Damn?" She asked and scoffed, flipping her hair out of her face. "Now you get to use bad words too? That's a way of making me happy, I guess? You're really one strange man." She told me, prepared to stand but ue held her shoulders down."Put. Your. Glasses. On." He said laying emphasis on every word. "Alaric." He whispered and her mouth which had been ready for a wide scoff, ran down."Alaric is here?" She asked breathily, as she leaned low onto the table."Holy sh…" she was saying as she spotted Alaric but managed to cover her mouth. Her eyes went wide as they seemed to be thinking of a million things that would happen to her, and so did my eyes. I was going to be doomed. It would not only make Alaric reject the land, it would make him enemies with both he

Those words felt like golden eggs to Charles as this was what he had been expecting for so long. To him, it was so certain that if Josephine should speak to Mr. Dane, concerning the land, it would be solved.Charles let out a loud laughter of joy, then hugged her tight. Josephine was glad that she made him this happy, and she cherished that moment.“Thank you so much, Josephine. You are such a darling. I can’t believe this, but I guess this is real.” Charles said, trying hard to contain his joy in the best way possible.“It is real, Charles. I have decided to help you, and I will ensure I stand on Alaric’s neck to make sure he considers buying your land for a very good price.” Josephine assured him.“Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much. I really do appreciate you, Josephine. In fact, I’m so lucky to have met someone as golden as you.” Charles complimented her, trying to make her feel really good.He knew that the more he made her blush and feel good, they more she would want to give in
