~"Ain't no stopping my self-image...."~
{Lucifer's POV}~During Lunch~
"Yes sir I do believe that, fighting for the rights of the state is equally as important as making money to feed businesses. We do have to support our children and our worst communities, that's where some of our best works come from. Just take me for example, I'm a child from a very poor background making it in the big leagues. Having lunch with a mayor, how many people do you know that's like me, can say that?"
This made the old fat bald headed man chuckle
"Not many people can, not even my own friends. It's rare that I am seen outside my office. So I'd love to thank you for this time out, another thing I love your way to thinking. Providing education even to our lowest level of students will prove to be an amazing move. And funding your company doesn't seem like a bad investment. Smart on the other hand? We're testing the waters of that. But you know what would look even better on your resume?"
I was getting anxious and annoyed
"No sir and what should that be?"
He lifted an eyebrow and leaned in
"You being married. Hear me out. You're a single male in your early twenties, going into this business world. I know you run this entire city and state with your eyes closed plus some but I think having a woman at your side will keep you out of many scandals and conflicts. Many people suspect you may be having a thing going on with one of the men in your companies but look at you. That doesn't sound right. And that secretary of yours? God is she hot but she has a husband if you didn't know, and we would hate for chairmen to try to hold that over you. As for my investment I only have one request and then the money and all other transactions will be secured."
I clenched my fist out of his view what the hell was this old man going on about
"What shall that be?"
He took a sip of his beer and stood to his feet
"I request that you get married in the next 3 weeks. I will be checking in from the office every Sunday until it is done. Choose wisely. Your marriage reflects the money and the investment that you may receive for your company. Good day Mr. King, I should be hearing from you again very soon."
After he walked away I blew out a sigh of frustration and dialed Marcus number
He let it ring a few times and then answered as if he was actually busy in the office. He was more than likely getting head or topping someone else off...again. Or could he actually be busy? You would never truly know with Marcus. Especially after what he pulled in my office. I should be angry but I cannot he knows I can't stand him though.
"Marcus?"
"Yeah wassup your highness ?"
"I hope you're not getting off in my damn office again. It's the third time this week."
"I can't help it touching you turns me on. But I'm sure that's not why you called so spill darling."
"The fucking investment."
~fumes started coming out of the sides of my head
"What happened with it? Stop for a second."
"So you were getting off? Nasty. Anyways the fucker said I need to be married to be eligible for the investment. I'm not the ideal candidate since I'm single, I'm prone to scandals."
"Is he wrong though?"
"Marriage is not in my playing cards right now. I don't wanna marry anyone. A wife right now? I'm still in my twenties. I started this fucking business what I do has nothing to do with my company."
