90: Forced Meetings
Targu Province – Kerrigan
Kerrigan Lokir finished up the last of her day and was heading to the door with Natalie. It had been a long week and she was ready for the break the weekend would provide. She just had one last dinner meeting tonight and a short schedule tomorrow to survive and then she could relax some. Two of her sales VP’s were waiting to take them to dinner tonight to discuss the spring marketing plans, when Kelan Benedict stepped off the elevator with a bouquet of flowers. Kerrigan groaned

Kerrigan was pleased that Kelan had the good sense to take her to Velyki’s finest diner and her favorite place for steak, the Emerald Bison. She had earned her reputation as the dragoness not only at the negotiation table but also before a steak. “I see you did your homework” “Katie was treated well to several meals, outings, and fine jewelry before she even considered giving up such a trade secret. You should be proud you have such loyal staff.” Kelan said seriously.

Kelan wiped red droplets off his face. “That WAS a very expensive suit,” he muttered to himself. He looked around at the stunned faces of the other guests and barked, “What are you looking at? Get back to eating! And if I see this in a single news article or online, I will make sure to track each and every one of you down! Don’t cross the Benedict family or you will be at the bottom of our mines by tomorrow!” Just then one of his cronies rushed over with a towel and began dabbing at Kelan’s suit. Kelan smacked him in the face, “Off, man. can’t you see it’s ruined. Just have the tailor send me a new one. No point wasting energy on this one
Rejected Billionaire 93: Corporate Espionage
The next morning, Kerrigan sat fuming in her office, thinking about Kelan and his audacity. How could he just propose like that? It was worse than the last time when she was just 18. At least then she thought it was all a big joke and even the Prima had shot it down as bad timing. Kerrigan wondered what the Prima thought of all of this. For years he had talked as if he would marry Kerrigan himself, a thought that made he want to gouge her own eyes out. Her desk vibrated, and she quickly looked around to see if anyone was in her office. Natalie had slipped out to get them both some apple cider from the breakroom, so she unlocked a hidden drawer in her desk. Inside was a phone that was silently vibrating.

That evening, as the staff began to leave, Kerrigan bade Natalie a good night and wished her a restful weekend. She texted Breanna that she would be working late and would text her later. After the last of the regular staff left, Kerrigan began looking for Katie’s car, occasionally clicking the alarm. She finally found it in the back corner of the parking garage. Kerrigan hurried over to the older model light blue car and tried the handle. The key stuck in the lock and the handle wouldn’t budge until she yanked hard. It flew open, clipping her shin.

Jinstain – Conor Conor wrapped himself tight in his long coat. He really should have grabbed his fur lined jacket instead, but for some reason he had thought the sun would warm the world a bit more than it had. He darted from the car and made his way inside the run-down community center. “Conor!” squealed a small girl, wrapping herself around his legs.

Kerrigan made it to her office reinvigorated from the cold air. She was surprised Natalie had not greeted her as usual, but she had also been a bit later after the morning warm up with Breanne. She set down her bag and slipped her mask back in a drawer, taking out a stack of papers to begin looking over her files for the day. A few minutes later, Natalie arrived with a steaming cup of apple cider with cinnamon. “Bless you, Natalie. At least we can still get this even in this weather.” “Well, it might run out soon if the trains from Bayan don’t come more o
Rejected Billionaire 98: Kelan's plot
Kelan sat in the Prima’s office looking at a cute young waif of a girl. “I suppose she will do. she looks like she would break as soon as you touch her.” “You will have to be the judge of that, Kelan. Go on, Alina. Go get ready. You will train with Kelan for a while, understand? Learn well from him, and do not disappoint me.” “Yes, Prima.” She said and bowed. “Is there anything I need to be aware of to pack properly?”
