He picked up the tie lined with diamonds and placed it against his suit jacket. It complimented it perfectly. Andrea sure knew how to dress well, He thought absently. Luke hoped that there wouldn't be any surprises but the prayer at the top of the list was that Allison won’t cause trouble with Andrea-not that she could…Allison had a very gentle soul. He sighed and ran a hand over his face… what had he done?
With a sigh, he stepped onto the balcony. The previous events that had taken place in his office still left him uneasy. He didn’t know what to do anymore. He had been with Andrea for a long time and he just couldn’t walk out of their relationship like it didn’t mean anything to him.
His thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.
“Venal speaking” He said.
Silence descended on the room as the person on the other end spoke. After a moment, Luke spoke up again.
“Very well. I will take care of it.” In anger, he threw his phone on the bed. “Motherfucker!!” He shouted as he punched the wall.
Damn the bastard!!!

Callie smiled slyly as she watched him dress up. He looked so cute as he struggled with his cuff links. He never seemed to get the hang of it, no matter how many times she had forced him to watch numerous YouTube clips
“Problem?”
He looked up at her, his forehead creased. “This damn thing doesn’t want to stay where it belongs”
“Do you need help?”
Eagerly, he stretched out his hand.
Callie glanced at it and laughed. “What do I get for that?”
He sighed and looked at her. “What do you want?”
Callie twisted her hair around a finger. This was one of the reason why she was still with him. “I want to go to the Evala’s with you”
His eyes widened at her condition
. “The Evala’s?”
“Yes. I want to attend it”
He shook his head and turned away. “That won’t do.”
Callie seeing that her request had already put him in a worse mood than before. She lunged after him. She put a well-manicured hand on his arm. “Why not? I attend other parties with you … why not this one?”
Mark groaned. “Why do you want to go? I don’t even want to talk about it right now”
Callie glared at him. “You have another bitch by the side, don’t you?”
He swung around. “That would be none of your goddamn business.”
Annoyed, he was about to leave the room when her hand clamped on his arm again. “What again, Callie?”
She glared at him inwardly and quickly fixed an apologetic look on her face. “I’m sorry.” She reached up and slowly massaged his shoulders. “I’m sorry. Won’t Knight Mark forgive his damsel Callie?” she batted her eyes seductively.
Mark groaned inwardly. Nobody could pull a seductive eye wink better than Callie. He knew what she was trying to do. She had done it so many times in the past but… A groan escaped his lips as her hands massaged his shoulders. Why couldn’t he resist her charm for just one moment. She knew she had some power over him and she made damn good use of it any moment she got. He pulled away roughly. “Not this time, Callie. I don’t-”
She was proud she knew his weaknesses. She loved to see this man who was so wealthy tremble because of her. She pulled some stunts she had practiced and smirked at her power. Her-
He thrust away from her. “Stop! We are not going to do this again. If we have a problem we will settle it by dialogue only. I’m outta here”.
With heavy limbs and an extremely uncomfortable feeling, he walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
*********************************************
A/N: Damn!!! That was some serious self-control exhibited by Mark. How do you think Mark is gonna deal with whatever he wants to take care of? Why does Mark not want Callie to attend the Evala’s with him? Let’s keep our fingers crossed. I know it’s short… forgive me?!
