The acquisitions for the land are going as per plans. For the most part.
The building plans are almost complete, construction companies are paid, and suppliers are being paired up now with the right players. All in all, it’s progressing quite nicely.
I sit at the head of the table, talking on the phone to the owner of the land I recently required.
He is the last person who needs to be informed that the takeover agreement has been signed. I’m almost there, but then again, I am not.
“So, how are things?” I ask him. “You got yourself together?”
"Ah, you know how it is. Just can't wait to get this off my plate and start my other plans with the money from this sale."
"I understand," I say. "And remember our deal? Once the condominiums are done - you'll get a free penthouse from my side as a little thank you for the excellent rates you've given us."
He laughs, "You're way too generous. I just hope that the golf course gets made."
I frown, although he can't see it, "Why wouldn't it?"
He laughs even harder now, "Oh, I'm sure it will. It's just no one's been able to make it work for 50 years, and you're the first one to try since then."
I frown, sitting still in my chair. "It will get made," I say. "Why wouldn't it?"
I'm about to hang up when he says, "You haven't heard?"
"Heard what?" I ask.
"Um. Might be best for you to talk to your development deal. I ... I really ought to go."
I am confused. So confused.
"Martin," I say to the first man I see standing near me. "Bring me Olivia."
Martin grunts and walks out of the room.
A moment later, Olivia steps in, wearing a tight black dress that clings to her curves, enhanced by her high heels. Her long dark curls cascade down her back like a waterfall, and even though I'm half distracted with business matters, I can't help but admire how fuckable she looks.
The few remaining people in the room stare at her hungrily as she enters - one man's gaze fixated on the deep cleavage revealed by her outfit while another stares intently at her ass. I feel my own desire rising up inside me, fighting for air and all my thoughts about the golf course disappear momentarily. At the same time, I'm ready to punch these guys.
Olivia smiles at me knowingly, almost as if she knows exactly what I am thinking - before quickly looking away demurely as she approaches my chair.
"Why are you dressed like that?" I ask slyly. “You’re torturing me, Olivia Miller.”
She shrugs her shoulders nonchalantly. "I thought it might be a good way to tease you," she says, with a hint of mischievousness in her voice.
That's all I need to hear - I quickly put my coat on over her, grab her arm and say, "Come on, we're going," before ushering her out of the room and into the car.
"Where are we going?" she asks.
"To get you away from those lecherous men," I say to tease her.
My joke worked. She laughs, just like I knew she would. “The only lecherous man I have my eyes on is you,” she says, giving it right back to me.
"While I’d love to take this further, we have work to do. We're going to the land development," I say. "Apparently, there's some problem with the golf course, and I need to get to the bottom of it."
She grins, eyes alight with excitement. "Let's go!"
We get in the car. It’s around a half-hour drive. Along the way, I fill her in on Veronica’s visit. “Are you serious?” asks Olivia, shock etched on her face when I’m done telling her the whole thing. “I can’t believe it. She asked you for fifty thousand dollars?”
“Yup. Story of my life. She was here for the weekend, and she didn’t call me once to see if she wants to meet Emily. And last night was just a pretense to get me to give her money. She probably just spent up everything she had on drugs or some loser boyfriend.”
