Lance POV

"You see, i don't have all day my friend. I have schemes to handle."

I can't believe how this lady is slow with the typing. Just a small work and she takes forever. I growled.

"Go easy on the girl son."

I turned once i felt a hand on my shoulder and the voice behind me.

"Amy finish up and give Dave to wind up with a receipt."
I looked at him as he gave her instructions. He hasn't aged even a bit from the months we last met.

"Mr Frey. Didn't know you own this automotive store."
I said keeping in mind the last time we met he was working as a bank manager.

"Well son, its called having multiple investments. Am still the bank manager and i own this and others more."
He explained wearing a genuine success smirk on his aged face.

Wow! That's now an inspiration for my start.

"Are you a mentor on hire? Would need one."
I smirked and he did is chuckle hoarsely.
Talk about being life-blessed.

"You know where to find me."
He winks and leaves.

"There you go sir."
The young man 'Dave' hands me the receipt.

"Thank you. You have a lovely day."
I genuinely appreciate without waiting his response, i made my way to the parking lot.

Once I was in the car I heard my phone buzz.

Just when I was thinking about calling you, honey.

"Hey too love. How's you?" I smile as I insert the car keys.

"Am good babe, haven't seen you at the office since morning." She utters in her sweet soft tone.

"I was at an automative store, had to buy something for the car. " I openly explained keeping in mind that I have to tell her about my decision.

"Okay. Talk to you later, I have a client."

"Love you Ice. Take care."

"Love you more darl. You better guard that man of mine Mr with your life."

With that she hang up.

Guard that man of hers with your life. Did she just mean her monster or me as whole?

I chuckled as I drove off to grab something to eat. Am so famished.

"Are the documents ready Freya?"
I ask through the call. Am currently calling the real estate agent who is handling my new-start. I've bought an old Warehouse.

"In just a few minutes I'll send you the soft copy of the title deed of your property. In case of any queries before finalizing it please feel free to mention."
She harnestly spoke.

I looked at my tablet and saw a new mail. I opened it.

"Thank you. Finally."
I smiled as I held my drink; lukewarm lemon water.

Cold fever is no friend.

"You're welcome. Once you ready, just call me. Have a great day ahead."
With that she hang up.

I closed my eyes for some second withholding my excitement. The dreams I've been trying to get to are now in the sight.

I looked around and signaled the nearest waiter to serve me.

"I'll take a look at the menu now."

Mars POV

The whole day has been busy than usual. I looked at my watch and frowned.

7:01pm.

I took my coat and handbag, wore my scarf, switched off the lights of my office and locked the door.

I don't know if it's this job is getting too much or is that am stressed up about Lance.
I know he quit his job since his dad confronted me about it yesterday but the fact that he hasn't spoken to me about it is really not giving me an easy time.

I tried to halt several taxis and after two literally ignored me, one finally came to my victory.

After paying up, I walked to the elevator to my floor. Once at the door I noticed the lights were on, so I just went in.

"Oh baby, come here."
In his deep voice he stretched out his masculine hands to me.

I just obliged and drived into the warm embrace.

"Someone is more romantic than usual."
I teased as he removed my coat.

"Well I missed you more than usual today."
He bit his lip and winked.

Holy matrimony..he always kills me with that gesture.

"Wow! To what pleasure do I deserve all this."
I couldn't believe what my eyes where looking at.

A table filed with sweet aroma of spiced steaks and some other stuff that I can't be certain of. Some lit candles.

"Daamn...someone has been busy. Which had me to ask you something." I removed my scarf.

"Can't it wait? I have a lot important info for you my queen."

"Uum yes it can wait."
I softly uttered back as I watch him serve me.

"It's not even yet our anniversary. What's the occasion?"
Couldn't hold the questions in my head.

"Eat first. You look so tired."
He gently caressed my check as he placed the plate to my display.

Indeed I am so tired and hungry.
So I took a bite of the mix.

"How was work?"
He asked wearing a gloomy face.

Should I tell him that am aware he quit working for his dad? Is he even okay?

"Just busy. What's up babe? You look too happy and that's kind of scaring me."
I gently laid down my worries.

"Am getting my own job. I quit living under dad's umbrella. Today I got to check the title deed  of the old warehouse. Here."

I watched and keenly listen to what he was mumbling.
Guess this wasn't the surprise I expected.

That's a huge change especially relocating to another town. What about my job? What about him inheriting his dad's job?

"So what do you think?"
I blankly stare at the spark he had.

"Baby.."
I hesitated unsure of what to say.

"Before you answer, I know about it. Since you're passionate in art, I figured out I help you start your artwork path. I have, we have always been employed by someone, so it would do us well to be the bosses."
With those detailed explanation, he smiled.

Was he reading my mind? I mean the deal is too good but I don't think I have enough capital to start my own business. When was the last time I drew or painted? Can't remember.

"All I need is your approval. Everything is ready. Please let me invest in you as you've done in me."
He softly caressed my hands.

I carefully looked him into the eye as I breathed heavily.
