Logan

"I want this report completed before the end of today", Logan slammed the poor excuse of the report on the desk and stared down at the man who kept looking down on the ground.
It had been weeks since he had joined and Logan's patience was running thin.
"Do you understand me?" He flinched at my loud voice.
"Yes, Mr. Logan."
The door opened, and my father walked in followed by our lawyer. Logan could tell from the look on his father's face that it was something concerning.
He shifted his gaze back to his personal assistant still standing in front of him.
"Leave!" He ordered, and the young man grabbed hold of the file and hurried out of the office.
"Dad?" Logan called, watching both him and Mr. Murice the lawyer took their sit opposite him.
"Logan, Mr. Murice is here to show you your grandfather's will."
Logan was taken aback by the comment. It was not something he was expecting because his grandfather had passed away three months ago and his will had not been brought up since then.
"Father, I am busy right now. Can it wait?" Logan asked.
"I am sorry it cannot wait."
Logan's right eye twitched as he mentally clawed at the possible conditions the will might put out for him. He nodded and looked at Murice to start.
"Your grandfather has mentioned in is will that you will take over the Lutherhold Inc only if you are able to settle down and get a wife."
"I knew that is what this meeting is all about", Logan commented with a smile on his face. "Well, I have some good news for you, I have found a woman, and I am getting married to her soon."
"Really?" The chorused, disbelief written on their faces.
"Her name is Arielle and trust me father, you and mom will like her" Logan assured them, the smile still on his face.
"This is hard to believe!" His father expressed. "Why haven't you brought her to me?"
"Uhmm...We are still getting along" Logan tried to mask the sudden feeling of anger he had over Arielle's action for the past days.
"Whatever happens, you have to bring her home. Your mother will be excited by this news" Father said.
"When the time is right, I will bring her" Logan assured.
They rose up to their feet and Logan exchanged handshakes with them before they walked out of the room.
He dropped to his sit and placed his hand on his forehead, thinking about the pressure of getting married, when he doesn't even want to.
An idea came through Logan's head, he picked up his phone and begins to ring Arielle, who wasted no time and picked up the call.
"Meet me at the mall in the next hour, we have an issue to discuss." He said and hung up the phone.
Logan got up to his feet and grabbed his suit. He was already exhausted from the wedding plans that is on the way, but knew the consequences if he backed down.

When Arielle arrived at the mall, she was exhausted. Logan's call had come in so quick that she had to drop the house chore and despite Adrian's complain, she had to meet up with him.
"You are late" Logan said the moment she met him at the entrance of the mall.
"I am sorry. I was doing something when you called" She said and turned around scanning the place for his car. "Why are we here?"
"To get roses and flowers, we are going to my father's place in the evening to have dinner"
"Wait, what?" She asked in disbelief, trying to make sense of what he had just said. "You should have told me to get ready for a dinner with your parents"
"It is not that serious" Logan waved his hand in dismissal.
"What do you mean it is not that serious. I am going to walk into the Lutherhold mansion and see Mr. Lutherhold"
"Martin Lutherhold" Logan corrected with a smile.
"Doesn't change the fact that it is strange you never bothered telling me" Arielle insists.
"Look, we don't have much time." Logan replied and pulled the door open and they both walk into the store.
"Oh..My..God! Mr Logan"
The ladies in the mall squeal with joy on their faces.
Arielle felt a certain way about their reaction.
Logan held her hand and as they walked further into the mall, she could see the murderous glare on their faces.
"Just ignore them" He said.
"Welcome to our mall sir" A middle age woman greeted the moment they arrived at the second floor.
"I need a buffet of flower" He ordered and as they are being prepared, Logan excused himself to pick up a call, leaving Arielle to get the flowers.
"So let me get this straight, you are one of Logan's mistress?" Arielle turned around to see a blonde lady staring at her with an obvious frown on her face.
"I am his wife" She corrected.
"Oh, how strange...I could have sworn that Logan has three other women he is dating"
Her words triggered Arielle's anger and she turned her attention completely over to the woman.
"Listen young lady, I am not trying to be harsh, but why don't you just mind your business?" Arielle warned and the blonde hair lady walks away.
She receives the flower from the middle-aged woman.
"Just to be clear, I hope you know the type of man you are dealing with", The middle-aged woman warned.
Arielle was tired of everyone constantly reminding her of Logan's bad attitude. She never denies his bad attitude and will never hesitate to point it out.
She walked away from the flower section and stepped out to see Logan was done with his call.
"Why do you have that face?" Logan asked, observing her look.
"Nothing," Arielle lied.
"You cannot fool me Arielle, but I will not push it further." He stretched his hand and Arielle walked with him out of the mall.
