At The Billionaire's Party

I Believe In You

Location- Janet's Office

Janet is back at her office, working her ass off for her brother's wedding.

"There has to be a big chocolate structure there, Tania. I swear to God, if this gets messed up, you'll be unemployed before Mr. Claremont leaves for his honeymoon. I am not joking." She threatens the young intern and shoos her away.

Janet goes back to working when a soft knock on the door is heard. "Come in." She responds not looking up from her laptop screen.

"Mmhmm!" Janet hears a familiar voice wolf whistle. Which is followed by soft giggles. She looks up to find Damian and Robyn walk in.

"To what do I owe the pleasure?" Janet greets and stands up. She hugs the young girl saying, "How are you, darling?"

"I'm fine. What about you?" She asks.

"Oh. I'm just busy with your sister's wedding." Janet replies as Damian engulfs her in a bear hug. "You look fantastic!" He says making the girl laugh. "Why thank you, kind sir. So do you." Janet replies faking a British accent.

"But, aren't you dressed a bit casual? I mean you're always very formal at office." Robyn says as she and Damian sit on the couch. He picks up a toffee from the bowl in front.

Janet eyes her outfit once and replies, "Yeah. I'm kind of driving to the country side today."

"Work?" Damian butts in throwing a toffee into his mouth.

Janet shakes her head. "No. Not really. I'm going gift shopping. I'm planning to gift a cottage to my brother and his wife for the wedding."

"Ookay." Both of them say at the same time. This is when someone knocks at the door. Instead of asking the person to come in, Janet answers the door herself.

The moment she opens the door a hand snakes around her waist and a pair of lips capture Janet's. David steps into the office and closes the door without breaking the kiss.

He finally let's her go after pecking on her lips a few times. "Ready?" He asks in a raspy voice.

"Yeah. She is." Damian's voice makes David's gaze turn towards the couch. The man smirks at his older brother as Robyn awkwardly shifts her gaze across the office.

"You'll never learn." Janet mutters.

"You didn't tell me you're going have company." David says wiping Janet's lips.

"Aww. Now that's a good thing to do. Clean your own mess." Damian laughs and is pinched hard by Robyn. "Oww."

"I'm sorry about him. We should get going." Robyn says embarrassed.

"Oh don't worry. We know he's annoying." David laughs as the young couple gets up from the couch.

"We're getting late and have a long way to go." Janet reminds.

"Why are you wearing my shoes, Damian? I asked you specifically not to touch my stuff." David says, annoyance clear in his voice.

"Why do you have to be like that? In front of Jane and Rob." Damian frowns.

"Yeah well, you earn billions and still steal my stuff like the annoying little brother you are." David says, Janet could see he was being playful.

"You do own up to the title. Don't you?" Robyn comments.

Damian smiles at the girl and snakes his arm around her. He pulls het close making het blush. "What can I say. I try."

"David!" Janet says sternly, trying to cut the discussion short. "You have a meeting to attend this evening. Remember? Lets go!" She reminds.

"Yes." He smiles. "Of course."

"It was a pleasure doing business with you both, Mr. Richards. Miss. Claremont." The broker says. "Now, I wouldn't have asked, but I'm not sure which one of you are paying." She says sheepishly.

David doesn't and continues to look around. Him being his usual rude self with anyone who is not Janet or his parents. Where as Janet smiles at the woman. "That would be me." She says.

The payment process get finalized and the paperwork is completed.

"Beautiful. Isn't it?" Janet asks, but recieves no reply. She turns towards David to find him busy in his thoughts.

"David?" She touches his arm bringing him out of his trance.

"Yeah."

"Are you with me?" Janet asks softly.

"Yeah. No. Sorry, I was thinking of something. Sorry." David shifts uneasily. "You were saying?"

Janet tries to read the man and sighs. "I was saying, that we should get going."

"Oh. Yeah. Got that meeting with my inves-" David stops abruptly and rephrases his speech, "Got that meeting."

Janet notices his uneasiness, but chooses to not address it.

"Drop me at my brother's place." Janet says as they reach the city.

"Okay, ma'am. But why? Something related to the wedding?" David asks lowering the volume of the radio.

"No. Everything's set about that." She shrugs.

"Ookay." David nods.

"Actually no. I'm still stuck with the chocolate structure. We're making a big bouquet of roses and the intern Tania is...well she's not as efficient as she appeared during her interview." Janet complains in one breath.

David let's out a small laugh. "I am sure you'll come up with something fantastic."

Janet furrows her brows and looks at the man.

"You know why?" David asks and recieves a "no" in reply.

David smiles and stops the car. Janet notices that they've reached her brother's house. She looks back at David, who unbuckles his seatbelt and leans towards her. He kisses her forehead and says, "Because I believe in you."
