Paris got down from the car a sense of familiarity swept her off her feet, she held the lower part of her skirt firmly as she heard the loud beats of her heart.
"This way Miss Elorod" James pointed at the VIP section of the walkway.
Paris felt honored and awkward passing through the road meant for George.
"Miss Elorod are you okay?" Seeing lost standing at a spot for too long James asked.
"Huh?" Paris was confused at first but she smiled and walked up to him.
"James, we are still friends right?" Paris asked and her pupils shook slightly while awaiting his answer.
"Yes dear, we are" James replied and he patted her hair, this action of his made Paris's lips widened.
"Stop smiling and walk quickly, I don't want to keep the President waiting" He stretched his hands towards her.
Paris nodded and accepted his hands. He held her firmly and lead her to the VIP elevator.

After a few hours, George walked out of the meeting room, he got into his office and noticed a girl was seated starting through the ceiling-to-floor window.
He cleared his throat and she turned to him and stood on her feet with her head bowed, "Good evening, President George"
George walked to her and stood before her, "Look me in my eyes" he commanded.
Paris raised her eyes to meet his, his grey eyes reminded her of that night, she could hear the rustling of clothes, the heat of his body, his thickness down there, she looked down afraid he could see through her.
"You... You sent for me" She held her cloth.
George noticed it and was confused, where was the bold girl from before? Does she have some personality disorder?
"You are having dinner with me" he ordered and she nodded.
"James!" James opened the door and walked in.
"Get her ready" James nodded, and he beckoned on her to follow him.
Paris walked out of the room and George buried his head in his work.
After a while, he raised his head and grabbed his phone, "Have you found out who is behind this?"
"What about her?" As George spoke his eyes softened.
"Okay continue with the research" he dropped his phone and glanced at the time.
He rubbed his head and carried his laptop as he left the office. He sat down in his car and started working again.
After a while the door opened and Paris entered.
"Drive!" he commanded raising his head.
Paris felt bored so she watched the window.

At another end of the state, a lady sat down at an office with a smirk on her face, "How did the prank go?" she asked while tapping the table which made a clicking sound.
"Madam, it went so well but he was able to handle everything" The man before explained while tapping his phone.
She girl cleaned her fists on the table as veins throbbed from her hand, "I knew he was capable but..."
She stood up and dragged the phone from the man's hand, "Fix this mess and make sure he doesn't find who did it"
"Yes ma" he replied.
"I would make him pay" Her lips widened as she imagined how he bow to her.

Paris sat down at the table, she started at the delicacy in front of her.
"My dear what's your name?" Paris looked up at the woman who eat elegantly.
Paris's turned red when she heard her stomach growl, "Pardon my manners dear, eat up. We would talk after dinner" the woman ad iced with a smile.
Paris picked up her fork and knife, she glanced at George. He was focused on his phone while placing small pieces of beef into his mouth.
After a few months of silence with just the sounds of cutleries, the woman dropped her fork and drank a glass of water.
"Follow me dear" She got up and Paris drank some water and followed her.
They sat down in the living area. Paris could feel the woman's gaze on her, she held the tip of her skirt and bowed her head.
"Feel free around me" The woman got up and sat beside her.
"What's your name?" She asked, Paris looked at her with gentle eyes.
"I'm Paris Elorod" The woman felt the need to protect the girl before her, so she raised her hands and patted the girl's hair.
"You are beautiful" Paris smiled and the woman's eyes widened.
"Do you know the current situation at hand? My son is being accused of having a one-night stand with you. He has been able to reduce the buzz around it but our competitors won't let this slide and would use it to harm us further" Paris listened leaning forward with furrowed brows.
Mrs Katz smiled noticing how attentive she was. She straighten her back, "I need you to be the perfect wife for him. He is at the age of marriage but has refused due to some reasons–" she paused and watched Paris's face but the girl was calm, "–I need a girl who is calm, kind and also powerful and knowledgeable enough to guide this business".
Paris sat upright as an image appeared in her head. 'London'.
"Okay, enough talking. I would love to see your parents tomorrow" Paris looked at the excited woman, she wondered how long she had waited for this moment.
"Bruce! Bruce!! Bruce!!!"
"Ma'am" A man dressed in casual corporate walked in taking short strides.
"I need you to send this young lady home, please take care of her. She is the new madam of the Katz empire" Mrs Katz announced while rubbing Paris's shoulders.
Bruce stared at the girl who looked timid, he wondered if the rumors were true, and if they were then why this rabbit?
"Let's go, Miss" He stretched out his hand to her and she received it.
As they walked out Mrs Katz sat down on the couch with a grin on her face and closed her eyes.
"Mother, I won't marry her" George spoke standing away from her.
"You have no choice" Mrs. Katz stood up and smiled at him.
"She is the best candidate for a wife, soft and easy to mold" She commended.
"What do you mean?" George asked confused but Mrs Katz ignored him and walked up the stairs.

Paris sat at the back of the car playing with her nails, she looked up at the front mirror and noticed Bruce was staring at her, she looked down.
"Rabbit" he called and laughed as he turned the steering.
Paris looked and noticed Bruce was driving away from the normal route to her home, her heart jumped when she saw the smile on his face.
