Meanwhile....
A woman leaves Dearborn Industries and throws her stuff into the car and drives away. "Those bastards keep getting tougher on these things." she says threw gritted teeth. Her phone rings and she picks up on her hands free " Sara Morgan how can i help."
" Sara, finally you answer. How has the Dearborn project gone? They didn't treat you unfairly right? Anyways you aren't too busy right now are you?" The line of questioning from VP Marcus makes Sara smirk as she thinks of the older man that treats her like a niece or even a daughter.
"Well Marcus what answer do you want first? Dearborn is adamant that if Isiah is Project lead they won't invest. They are tough like always and I'm always busy working my butt off trying to get these deals completed. However we both know that's not why you'd call me when this could wait for me to return to the office Monday."
"Sharp like always. You really are destined for a brighter future. The CEO has been dismissed and i have to assume his position on the Henson project, which means I have to go to Henson Corp in San Fransisco. However the Chairman has called for a board meeting Monday morning and I need you to attend in my stead."
"No problem. It seems like our two projects are the only hope for the company now." Sara mutters
"Alright then. Have a good weekend and try to relax."
As soon as Sara disconnects the call her phone rings again and she glances at the caller id on her car and see the name 'Sperm Donor'. 'Great what does this jerk want now' " What do you want now."
"Sara is that anyway to speak to your father?" Sara thinks inwardly 'you stopped being my father after mom died. Just work sleep and eat after she passed.' She coldly responds "When have you shown 'Fatherly' love to me in the past 8 years? So again I'll state what do you want Micheal?"
Micheal feels like there is arctic air coming from his phone when she responds. 'Since when did my princess become so cold' he thought. "Now look Sara i know you have been distant from relationships in the past but do a favor for daddy. Isaac Humpries has asked me about you yet again and is wanting to take you to dinner tomorrow night."
"THAT PLAYBOY?!?! Forget it! I don't want anything to do with him!" Sara yells in response.
"Now Sara calm down, he is willing to invest in the company if you go on a date with him tomorrow night. Now he said he'll be in box 18 of Swan Restaurant at 8pm. If you want the shares that your mother left you without marrying then you'll be there. goodbye princess"
Before Sara could refute she heard the tone of the phone signalling the call had disconnected. "That bastard even threatens me with my own shares in the company!" she grumbles as she smacks the steering wheel. 'Fine I'll go but I'm going to make this the date from hell just for his sake.' She thought inwardly as an evil grin appeared on her face.
The next night...
Sara enters Swan Restaurant with her strapless back dress, that hugged her near perfect hourglass figure in all the right places, and smokey makeup that made her give off an aura of mystery and sexiness to all the men that were immediately captivated by her entrance. 'Which actor is that?' 'Is that a supermodel from over seas?' 'Impossible, she got to be a rich heiress' were some of the murmurs she heard on her way to Box 18.
"Sara you look lovely" Isaac says when she enters with a flash of lust and desire flashes across his eyes. 'tonight you'll be all mine and then I'll have you by my side forever' Isaac thought inwardly.
Sara sneered "I'm only here for my mothers shares stake so stop being polite as we both know you practically blackmailed my father for this date."
As the date went on with Isaac trying to make conversation and Sara only giving perfunctory answers. She began to feel dizzy even though she had been sipping her wine. "Excuse me i need to use the rest room" as she walks out of the room and turns the corner she bumps into a wall of human flesh and the scent of wood mixed with leather assaults her nose." Sorry sir" as she scurries off to the bathroom. Sean looks at the back of the woman that scurries off and thinks to himself ' something is wrong her eyes shouldn't be that cloudy'
Sean immediately picks up his phone and calls John, disrupting his date with his wife, "Find what box Ms. Morgan is in and who she is seeing at Swan Restaurant. Also get a team over here ASAP" then immediately hangs up his phone.
John stares at his phone in a daze as his wife asks " what did Sean want now?"
John stutters in response " a t-t-t-tt-team at Swan Restaurant."
"Why on earth would he need a team at Swan? The men he employs there are more than capable enough to handle those rich people."
"not for him. but a woman" John responds as he texts away retrieving the info his boss just asked for.
"A WOMAN!?!" John's wife ask in disbelief, then suddenly grabs John's hand and bolts out of the restaurant leaving money on the table. " Now i have to meet the woman that is able to make Sean call a team."
Back inside Box 18. . . .
Sara sits back down and looks at her wine glass as she thinks inwardly ' did i get set up by these two jerks just to ensure this investment' she began to sway in her seat. "you bastard dared to drug me!"
"This was the only way to make you mine forever. You always rejected me but you'll forget all of this in the morning. So how about we began with a little foreplay?"
"Go to hell" Sara slurred as she fell out of her seat. Just as Isaac was approaching her the door slammed open. A woman wearing a tight spandex suit followed by a group of buff men entered the room. The woman approaches Isaac with a knife in her hand as he stutters " Do you know who I am? My father will have you killed." The woman holds the knife up to Isaac's neck stating " So are you going to tell him or should I tell your father that you offended the Black Wolf."
Isaac's eyes grew in size as he stammers "I haven't done anything to offend him. I don't even know who he is." The woman chuckles " You dared to try to touch someone under his protection. You see Ms. Morgan there is under direct watch of The Claw." Isaac eyes grew even wider as he realized that Sara was being protected by a near mythological team of underground soldiers led personally by the king of the Underworld, known only to the powerful people of the world as the Black Wolf. but Isaac never got to see the Black Wolf as the men that entered created a wall between him and Sara.
Sara felt her conscious fade as she saw all the people rush into the room and sees the flurry of black shoes and slacks pass by her. Then she suddenly sees a pair of blue jeans and pair of red sneakers enter the room, and at the last moment before she loses consciousness, she smells the scent of leather and wood assaulting her nose again.
