Her hair was straightened sleeked back from her face dressed in an emerald green pants suit gold pointed at the toe heels and a black leather bag with gold hardware. Her lips painted red. 

It was a week later and Nami and I were working late on these new projects from the Donquixote. They seem like they are going to start a lot of businesses in the city rivalling the Clarence Business. 

Reaching her office and picked up her file and tablet before meeting up with Corazon and Nami before they took the elevator up towards his brother's floor. Rolling her shoulders back as she entered the meeting room with Monet, Trebol there and Vergo already ready. 

The three of the newcomers sat down. "Young Master will be here soon he had a to finish an important call," Money said calmly as she tucked a platinum strand of hair behind her ear. 

"Okay, no problem," Corazon said as Charlotte pulled out her phone and was texting on her phone. 

"Problems Charlotte you look troubled?" Vergo asked. 

"The asshole I bought the company from is fighting back, let's just say I am a little pissed right now" her voice carried venom and frustration. She stood up and walked to find a balcony to call her uncle. 

"Hey Uncle," she said. "I need your help" 

Doffy entered noticing Charlotte wasn't there. "She is on a call, it shouldn't take long" Corazon said just as she entered looking beautiful as ever even when mad. She put on a fake smile sitting between Nami and Corazon. 

"Let's begin shall we," Doflamingo said.  

As the meeting continued "You want to buy our company?" Charlotte snapped.  

"Make it apart of the Donquixote Family Company" Vergo explained. 

She raised an eyebrow looking at Corazon who whispered to her. 

"I had no idea," He said he whispered amongst each other then Charlotte whispered back to Nami. Nami nodded at them

"No,"  Corazon and Charlotte said in sync. 

"Why not, you could get immense financial backing," Doflamingo said. 

"No offence Doffy but we are doing fine on our own, what made you think that we would even agree to that," Charlotte snapped. 

"Listen if you want to work with us to build your damn company building, find someone else, we will finish our outstanding work but after this stunt, find another construction company to work and take over," Charlotte said standing out throwing the contract in front of them before storming out with Nami following behind her trying to calm her seething best friend who was seeing red and on a verge of something else.

Corazon threw his contract down standing up "How could you, family really doesn't mean shit to you" He said "Don't ever come to us for anything else after your vacation house is done, I don't want to hear from you for a while" He put his hand in the pocket of his pants before walking out. 

The four people left was left shocked, usually, anyone would take the chance to have their business apart of the Family it brings automatically more money to them. Isn't that what most people would want? Money?
