more than just five votes.”
“I know. I got half the nerve to go to Alexander’s office and give him a piece of my mind again. I just can’t believe the slime ball.” And just when I was starting to change my mind about him, too.
“Who’s Alexander?” she asks, confused.
“The billionaire guy.”
“You know where he works? Then why are you sitting there crying? Go tell him that you aren’t going to take this lying down. Fight for what you want, girl!”
I smile to myself and wipe away the tears.
This is why we’ve been friends with her for so long.
She always knows what to say to cheer me up, and I’m forever grateful for that.
“You’re right. I’m going to go there now. Thanks, girl.”
“Anytime. Now go get what’s yours.”
“I will.”
I start my car and drive to Alexander’s office—he has no idea who he’s dealing with.
I’m going to make sure to make this a day he would never forget.
Alexander
As I walk into my spacious office, I place the papers on my desk and take a seat.
I’ve already left word with my assistant that when Tara comes barging through the doors—which I know she will—to just let her come in.
I know that it was underhanded to take her deal when the councilman had already offered it to her, but then I’d have no reason to talk to her.
I wouldn’t see that little light of fire in her eyes when she got mad.
It is a beautiful thing to watch. I love a strong, fiery lady.
I know that what I say when she comes into my office will determine what happens in our future, but I’m prepared to let her yell and scream, and do whatever she wants to do as long as she walks away with me in the end.
It seems a little desperate, but no one has ever gotten to me the way that she has.
My mother always said that I should never settle for anything other than the best. If she wants to be a woman in life, then she has to pass my tests. I’m not settling for any gold-digger.
I only want the best…
The look on her face when my lawyers and I walked out of Councilman Jones’s office was one that will stay with me forever.
She looked hurt and betrayed, but I think I now know her enough to know that she isn’t going to easily accept defeat.
If anything, she’s probably going to come to my office and call me a bastard.
And I can live with that.
I hear yelling outside my door, immediately letting me know that she’s there.
I pull out some more papers from my drawer and place them on my desk.
The doors to my office swing open to reveal Tara standing there with her face flushed and her breathing out of control.
“How could you?! You asshole!” she yells.
I smile.
Okay, so it wasn’t “big, fat jerk,” but we were getting somewhere.
“Tara, have a seat,” I say calmly. “I’m sure that you want to discuss what happened today as calmly as possible.”
Chapter Ten
Tara
I can’t believe this asshole has the nerve to have a smile across his face when I walk through the door.
And his assistant didn’t even argue with me.
After I finished giving her a few choice words, she told me that Alexander had been expecting me and that she was to let me through with no problems. I feel like I was being set up, but I don’t care.
I’ve come to take what’s mine.
“Tara, are you going to take a seat?” he asks calmly.
I ignore his request, “How could you? You know that he’d already said yes to my proposal, and you still went in and took the deal from me.”
He nods. “You are correct. I did know that he had accepted your proposal. But I also knew that you hadn’t signed the papers yet, so I still had time. That is the world of business.”
“That was an underhanded thing to do and you know it. Who really goes in and steals others’ deals from under their noses? I’m sure
