"You're what?!" Jessie screamed. "Oh my gosh! Are you really serious?"
"Well I'm not joking."
"But why all of a sudden?" She asked. "You know what nevermind I don't care about the reason, I shouldn't ask. Thank you so much!"
"Yeah well, have a nice night. I'm going to bed now." He said standing up and walking over to his room.
At least his conscience would be clear now, he wasn't an animal, he wasn't sick. Quite alright he wasn't the nicest person but at least he wasn't some monster.
Come morning Jessie would leave his penthouse and return to her, what ever she did. He shook his head, well that was a waste of 20 million dollars.
***************************************************
Patricia walked into the Lee & Lee's group. She strutted in like she owned the place, because she did well part of it, in just hopefully a few years. She adjusted the scarf that wrapped her jet black hair, and put on her sunglasses, smacking her blood red lips she walked into the elevator. This lunch better be good, because she was leaving a very important appointment to be here. Relieved when the elevator dinged she exited and walked to the park area. It was an outdoor brunch, her grandfather loved to eat in nature. It was a surprise how a cruel man that murdered people without a heartbeat was so careful when it came to nature. He took care of this garden by himself, granted most of what was in it was genetically modified he managed it, so brownie points.
"Is that you Patricia?"
"George? What are you doing here?" She asked the handsome man that stepped out from behind a rose Bush.
He immediately pulled her away from the sidewalk and behind the bush with him.
"What the hell are you doing?!" She snapped.
"Shhh" He held his index finger to his lips. "Why are you late?" He asked her.
"What do you mean?" She lifted her right arm and checked the diamond studded wristwatch on her wrist. "I'm not late."
"Well your grandfather is in one of his moods, and I am not ready to be scolded for your incompetence Patricia."
Patricia shook her head "Come on now uncle, the only reason you get scolded is because of your own mistakes and nothing else."
Her uncle narrowed his brown eyes at her and chuckled. "Don't cross you boundaries there niece."
"And yeah while we're at it, have you seen a blonde woman at the auction house recently?" She asked.
"What kind of question is that? Do you know how many people, how many women I see every day? Besides I don't work directly with the products anymore." He scolded her.
Patricia sighed, she shouldn't ask. She doesn't know how he will react at least not just yet anyway.
"Wow Uncle I'm proud of you, you're finally going up in the family eh? No longer grandfather's lapdog?"
George smiled. "At least I'm moving up, what about you? Still a whore?"
Patricia pouted, but before she was able to say more she was interrupted.
"Why are you two whispering behind my beautiful roses?" Mr. Xavier Lee asked his son and granddaughter.
"Ah, Papa it is so nice to see you again" Patricia smiled widely and walked out.
"Nonsense. I didn't call you here to here about you missing me, neither did I call you here to watch you to backbite me. If you want to speak ill of me do it outside my property." The old man scolded.
George shook his head at the bent old man carrying a cane. He should die already he was causing to much tension, problems and causing too many scenes. Plus he was under too much pressure already.
"Come now, both of you." He said and started to walk to the table that had already been set with all kinds of food.
Once they were sitted the bitter old man dug into his food. The remain two guests looked at each other first before they began to eat as well. It was rule no small talk during meals so after a while after they had finished eating, Mr. Xavier Lee broke the silence.
"I saw the report from the auction house. The reports from this month were out of the ordinary." He said.
"You mean impressive." Goerge said.
"How did you do it? I hope you've not been foolish and become too greedy, I cannot have another run in with the authorities I'm too old for such."
Goerge rolled his eyes and sighed, was it too hard to compliment a job well done? Why must everything be about not doing enough?
"Well father, I cannot take all the credit for it cause you see you future grandson-in-law made the spike in the monthly reviews possible." Goerge said.
"Jason did?" Patricia asked.
Goerge nodded.
"I don't understand, explain it to me" Xavier said.
"He bought a woman for twenty million dollars." Goerge told his family.
"No way!" Patricia whined. "Are you certain it was him?"
"Do not ask me stupid questions of course."
Xavier laughed, "Wow, I certainly did not see this coming. It all better than I thought. You," he looked at Patricia "I have received reports that you have barely met with your fiance, why is that?"
"Well grandfather" she tilted her head, a bit of her sleek black hair falling to her shoulders. "What can I do? He hasn't contacted me since the engagement." She shrugged.
"You fool. Are you going to sit around and wait for him?" Her uncle scolded.
She scoffed "What am I supposed to do? Chase him around? Look unlike you Goerge I have self respect."
"You little bitch! Who the hell do you think you're talking to?" Goerge sneered.
"I'm sorry but do you see anyone else around?"
Their father slammed his cutlery on the table and they both stopped talking. "You have some nerve, the both of you. I am sitting here and you dare to squabble?"
"Forgive me grandfather." Patricia said.
"I'm sorry dad."
"Insolent children. Look here, you're uncle is completely right Patricia, you cannot wait around for him to come. If I know anything about the Kangs they are extremely proud. And you, I am happy that Jason has bought a product we can trap him with the contract."
"That's not going to be possible dad, he didn't sign one yet." Goerge said.
"What?!" His father yelled. "You really are Insolent, and why the hell did he not sign a contract? Has he taken the girl?"
" Yes he was very impatient about it all that day. He took it away saying he had to look it over, he hasn't returned it since. Besides father you were the one that told me to adhere to his every request when he visited that day or else I wouldn't have let him go." Goerge explained.
"I got my hopes up for nothing" his father sighed. "I know those people, by the time he cross examined that contract he would never sign it."
The Lee owned a variety of illegal businesses but to outside world the had a perfume and makeup empire. They were the most powerful family in the country right now and that was because of those contracts. Exploiting the most powerful tool in the world, sex and money, they managed to trap many powerful men in every area of life, politics, show business, the economical sector, everyone. Anybody that purchased a product and signed that contract they blackmailed. The only family that stood in their way were the Kangs. Never has there been a Kang who has been caught doing illegal business. Xavier knew they weren't clean but they were extremely smart, and now hearing the heir to the entire fortune finally fell into the trap he was ecstatic only to find out he didn't really fall for it. It infuriated him how sly those people were.
"Look here Patricia, you must seduce Jason Kang, I don't care what you have to do. We can't lose to them." Her grandfather told her.
"Mess up and I swear I will kill you."
Patricia smiled "trust your granddaughter now, I'll succeed. Sure my uncle here failed you but I won't."
"Respect yourself Patricia" Goerge warned.
"Or what?" She sassed.
"You will respect your uncle Patricia, don't make me say it again." Her grandfather warned.
Patricia frowned, uncle her foot. He was six months older than her what kind of uncle was that? Either way be bit her tongue and hid her displeasure, not today. She lost the battle but she would definitely not lose the war. So she put on a fake smile and stood up.
"If that would be all, I'll take my leave." She said walking away.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"You're what?!" Jessie screamed. "Oh my gosh! Are you really serious?"
"Well I'm not joking."
"But why all of a sudden?" She asked. "You know what nevermind I don't care about the reason, I shouldn't ask. Thank you so much!"
