"The lot has been cleared," Shaun says, "When should construction start, Miss."

"Start tomorrow," I say, "I don't like to wait."

Having said what I needed to say, I return to my paperwork. Will, my personal assistant, escorts him out and returns shortly. "Miss," he says. I glance up. He is standing with a tall man with blonde hair and green eyes. "You must be Mr. Anderson" I confirm.

The man nods and says, "Yes I am."

"Sit," I say, gesturing towards the chair in front of my desk.

"Miss. Devereaux" he starts, "I really don't know why you've arranged this mee-"

"Shut up. You don't start the conversations here. I do. You nod your head like a puppet when I speak to you. Understand?"

He clenches his jaw in anger but wisely chooses to say nothing and nods his head instead.

"Good. As to why you're here...I want my money," I say, getting straight to the point.

"What money," he asks, confused.

"The 1.3 million dollars you stole from me," I say, coldly.

He chuckles. "Oh, that," he says, "I didn't steal it. I asked your personal assistant if you could loan some money and with a little encouragement, she gave it to me immediately."

"If you still want to keep your limbs, I'd advise you to stop laughing," I say, coldly, "You seduced my assistant. I want my money. NOW."

He pales and starts spluttering. "I-I c-can't g-give you the m-money right now" he stutters, "My business isn't big enough to repay that kind of money."

"Either give me my money" I state, "or I take your business."

"B-But I've been working really hard. I can't afford to give you my business. It's the only thing that is supporting my family right now. Please. I'll do anything."

"Anything?" I ask, leaning forward and folding my hands on the desk.

"Anything" he confirms.

"Okay," I say, "I am willing to compromise." He nods and waits for me to continue.

"What's the name of your son?"

"Um, I don't have a son," he says, scratching the back of his head in confusion.

"Really, then who the fuck is this?" I say, pulling out a magazine where there was a picture of him and a cute (read: gorgeous) guy on the cover.

"Um...he's not my son. He's my stepson" he says, crossing his arms.

"I don't really care about the details. I want him in an arranged marriage."

Because why the fuck not. He is the legitimate personification of a Greek God and this girl wanna get herself some.
