“You have three minutes. My wife’s very distraught and needs me. So whatever you need to say, do it quickly.” Cassandra slaughters up closer to Lane, putting her hand on his chest.

“Technically you’re still her husband. I’m here for you. But I need you also.” Lane rolled his eyes,

“What do you need right now?” Cassandra smiles up at him,

“I want to spend time with you, as like the Board of Directors stated we should.” Lane stiffens as he clears his throat,

“Set something up in a couple of days for a lunch. Tomorrow I’m busy. They may of legally filed a separation. It’s not going to last.” Cassandra smiles before she starts to chuckle,

“From what I understand, she has to live separate from your quarters. It doesn’t matter anyway, you been separated for awhile anyway.” Lane scowls at her,

“Not by our own desires.  I will be looking into this. I love Grace. What do you really want?” Cassandra gets a evil grin on her face,

“I want to able to love you.  I don’t have a lot of baggage with me, unlike Grace.  I know you love her now, I understand that. The Board and I are concerned for your safety. Give me the 30 days and you’ll change your mind about Grace. Just give me a chance.” Lane looks at her puzzled,

“I knew of Grace’s baggage so to speak, when I chose to pursue her. It won’t make me to want to walk away now. Though I appreciate your concern as a friend. Just let me know when you want to meet for lunch in a few days.” Cassandra nods,

“Wait please!” Lane cocks his head side ways,

“What Cassandra?” Lane asks sarcastically as Cassandra smiles,

“I really want this with you. I’m falling in love with you.”
                                                             Cassandra pulls Lane’s lapels on his suite jacket bringing him close to her. Cassandra gets on her toes kissing him deeply, as she caresses his crouch. Lane pulls back stunned,

“What!? Cassandra?” Cassandra smiles coyly,

“Time’s up!” Lane exclaims coldly towards her, as he tries to walk away,

“Talk to Mary to schedule our lunch time.” Lane states as he walks away, ignoring Cassandra who is calling after him.

****Private Living Quarters****

Oaklee and Tammy walked with Grace back to the private quarters,

“Tammy, Grace please go pack some clothes, Lane is going to take you to a different location for a week for some private time.” Grace gives Oaklee a small smile,

“Thanks.. What’s Lane’s plan?” Oaklee thinks seriously before responding,
“It has to do with appearance, showing the Board that you’re his choice.” As Grace throws in clothes in a bag before she speaks up,

“What is Lane really thinking, Oaklee?” As Oaklee hands Grace some toiletries she smiles,

“In your living room where the heavy blue curtain is, behind it is a security door. Everyone will think you’re staying with Tammy. That way the two of you can slip between the two quarters discreetly.” Grace beams,
