the ball

~•~Two days later~•~

Ares' POV

Eva has been really annoying lately, I didn't know she talked this much . I don't get how people around her survive with her blabbering.

It's around 8 am and I'm supposed to go to work cause those dipshits keep on making mistakes.

They can't handle anything on their own . Steve would've handled it but he's on vacation for two months. He's gone to his mother's place. At least that's what he's told me.

I head down to the kitchen, as usual Eva is already there and I'm assuming she's already had her breakfast since she's eating ice cream.

But this is Eva we're talking about, that girl eats icecream like her life depends on it.she looks at me then turns back to her Icecream.

" David we're leaving" I called after David after drinking my coffee.

We arrived at the warehouse in an hour. I press my hand against the scanner and the door to the corridor. I take off my tie and unbutton the first two buttons and fold the sleeves of my blazer .

I fucking hate ties . Its like you want to choke yourself to death .

As I reach the meeting room two of my men run up to me.

"Don, we tried everything to convince them but they won't budge" one of them says while looking at the ground.

" Your telling me getting them to sign the fucking papers is that hard?....do I have to do everything on my own?" I ask sternly. No response.i hate it when they do that.

"Who was in charge with the contract?" I ask

" Me sir " the other said

" Good , then you'll do the honors of getting rid of yourself" I said as I open the door to the meeting room.

I enter the room and take a seat at the head of the  table . " Ah Mr Romano , nice to finally meet you , perhaps you'll do better to help us understand the-" I cut his sentence

" What is there to understand, all you have to do is take care of our shipments and you'll get 4% share " I say calmly

" What the fuck are we supposed to do with 4% " a chubby man states

" Do you even know what it means to have 4% of my profits?...what might you suggest yourself "I say

" We want 10 % " one of the says

I sigh then throw the contract papers on the table and get up" 5% is my last offer , if you don't want it then you can get lost " I say as I leave the room .

Nate looks at me like I've grown three heads " don't worry they'll sign those papers in less than two minutes " I assure him.

I head to my office , its nearly 4 pm and the ball is at 7 . I take my phone and dial Eva's number.

" What do you want?"she says through the phone

" Do you really want to know" I smirk

" You know what , I don't want to know " she laughs

" I just wanted to remind you that we have a ball to attend at 7 "

She groans " urgh! I hate those ,..do I really have to go ?" She pouts

" Your my fiancé, people will be expecting to see you amore( love )"

She sighs " fine "

" I come pick you up around half six okay "

She hums then cuts the call.

" Oh my God Ares are you blushing!!??"
