Having done all the damage that I could do without completely alienating myself I politely excused myself (not that anyone seemed to notice or care). I knew that eventually either Susan or Reed would contact me later it wouldn't be soon but I have already accomplished the hard part laying the ground work for future interactions.
Most would probably wonder why I didn't just kiss ass instead of acting like someone more concerned with etiquette than people's opinions. The answer is fairly simple Reed is used to others kissing his backside While Susan is gorgeous but insecure they are codependent with one another. Heaping praise would make would only make me another face in a crowd I need to work extremely hard just to be noticed. Now though I have their attention they will be watching my actions to see if I would follow through.
Unfortunately that also means I won't be able to do shady things easily as before. I would now have to curate my life to not inspire doubt as there were plenty of those who already do. How do I know this well the internet is a wonderful place where everyone can share their thoughts and ideas. Although the majority of humanity likes me and my unique ideas there are still plenty of nay sayers who doubt my intentions. I whole heartedly agreed with them after all not all that glitters is gold.

Heading back home I noticed a luxurious limo parked directly outside of my house. Now technically they could be just waiting for someone across the street but that wasn't really realistic. Each mansion in this neighborhood had lots of acres between them including my own. It didn't help that security guards were scanning their surroundings as they waited. I could have pretended to ignore them and head inside but seeing the potential benefits waiting literally at my door step wasn't my style. Although I was glad that they didn't just barge into the property unlike everyone else.
While I was tempted I decided to be cautious before I directly interact with them. I immediately contacted Cortana to verify their identity and plan my next course of action.
"Cortana who is that parked directly outside of the mansion?"
Cortana: It is a woman known as Emma Frost of Frost international she is deeply affiliated with a group known as the Hell Fire club and has created a school for mutants
"Has she requested permission to enter the property?"
Cortana: She has and I was about to call until I noticed that you were already on your back. Should I let them in?
"They came all this way it would be rude to turn them away at the door"
Cortana: Then I will let them know that can enter
The limousine pulled up to the mansion where Cortana appeared to greet them. Emma stepped out as soon the door opened seemingly eager. Every step, every movement was filled with seduction as she approached the door which automatically opened. Her guards were told to remain behind but she didn't even break stride completely ignoring them as they tried to say something. She exuded confidence and sex appeal in her all white outfit following behind a holographic clone of Cortana. To her credit she barely reacted noticing multiple Cortona's performing various tasks around the mansion. It wasn't long before she was right in front of me.
Emma: I am sorry to arrive without making an appointment but I thought that since you have already visited Xavier I should introduce myself to you I am Emma Frost
"Please Miss Frost it isn't a great inconvenience as I intended to reach out to the mutant community and honestly I already prefer your company to Charles as you haven't tried to invade my mind"
Emma: That is because you haven't tried to do the same to me so I extended the same courtesy that you have given me. Although I wouldn't be adverse to getting to know you better in other ways
"I would love the opportunity to be more intimate with a beautiful woman such as yourself but I wouldn't presume that is your intent as a beautiful lady of a prestigious family such as yourself definitely has many suitors vying for such an opportunity"
Emma: There are but I pursue what I desire whether that is in business or in private
