Eight o'clock in the evening. In front of the closet, Alexander looks at the suits. He said he would never wear a suit.

Never say never.

After dressing one, he looked into the mirror.

Looks good in a suit, felt good in him. The outfit changed him from a college boy to a successful businessman.

Alexander didn't have much time to analyze as a beating at the door interrupted him.

- Sir, if we do not leave now, we'll be late.

-Yes, Yes.

After a 35-minute of driving, Alexander and David arrived at the restaurant.

[Who will delay, I'm 25 minutes early]

When he entered, he noticed there was no one in the restaurant. A beautiful lady elegant dressed, approaching Alexander.

-Alexander Prins?

-Yes.

- This way, sir.

The lady led the way. In a room was only a table there was a woman, sitting with the menu in her hand.

The woman was a beauty, long black hair, a pair of blue eyes. Long legs, an extraordinary bust but what was most remarkable was the woman's gestures. Anyway, you looked, it seemed like a princess in modern times.

The way she keeps the posture looks perfectly natural.

[I hate when David is right.]

Although the expression of the face did not change, Alexander was nervous.

He was not accustomed to this type of woman.

Alexander was not good at mimicking expressions, but it was good to hide them.

With an inexpressive look, he approached the table at which the woman was sitting.

-Nice to meet you. I heard a lot about you, Miss Walters.

-I did not hear anything about you, Mr. Prins.

-Mr. Prins is my father. Alexander is fine with me. And if you want to know something you have to ask.

Alexander said as he sat at the table.

- Then, Alexander, you can call me Ingrid, it's simpler that way.

Alexander nodded, as he said:

-I would be better to order the food.

Ingrid just nodded. After a few moments, the food came.

Alexander could see that she was not thrilled to be at an arranged date, so he decided to get straight to the subject. There was no point in making an unnecessary conversation.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

-Ingrid, I'm not a man who turns around the problem.

I have a problem, and you have a problem. And your problem involves me.

Alexander said all he had to say, without making visual contact, was focused on cutting a piece of meat.

-Hm. And what would be my problem? As far as I know, I do not have one.

- Ingrid, I'm sure you are not here willingly. You are here because your dad likes to play games. You're a pawn.

Alexander took a mouthful of wine after he finished talking.

Meanwhile, Ingrid looks very strange at Alexander.

Alexander's words were like a knife in her heart.

She was surprised. She was a little more interested now in the man in front of her.

-Alexander, you a very unusual way to seduce a woman.

- I'm not trying to seduce you. And after tonight, I certainly will not have to.

-How so?

-Your dad asked you to seduce me. I don't have to. It's the other way around. But it's okay.

Ingrid just a smile at Alexander, it was a wonderful one.

She took the glass and stretched it toward Alexander. He poured wine for her.

- Why would my dad do that?

-How I said. Your dad likes games. He wants to use you, to keep me away from my father's company.

-You know all this, you're still here. I wonder why?

Ingrid's gaze was different from the beginning.

She is a sensual now. Her fingers are playing with the glass.

The lips moved slowly.

Alexander lost his temper for a few moments. She looks sexy. Alexander has to admit that she knows how to seduce men.

-Do you think that such a simple plan, would not have been noticed by my father? I'm here because your dad wants me not to be here.

Ingrid did not say anything, but he understood what Alexander meant. She was a sacrificial pawn. If Alexander didn't come, then the deal with her father would fall. But how Alexander knew about it.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Alexander's words.

-Your father's plan is good. But your brother, I got to admit, he's brilliant. He spent a lot of time and effort. Your dad will be impressed.

Ingrid remained with a white face when she heard of her brother.

- As I said, you are a pawn of your father. The pawn is the most important. It can be sacrificed or can become another piece in the game.

Do you want to be sacrificed? Or to become another piece in the game?

Alexander started to smile. It was a smile that meant many things.

-What is your proposal?

-Your problem is simple, Ingrid, if I refuse to marry you then, you will be thrown away. I'm sure your brother will be pretty happy.

-Marriage? You think my dad will throw me just because you will not marry me?

Ingrid was upset. Though, she knew it was true.

Ingrid could not understand how Alexander knows so much about her relationship with her father. In public, they always looked like the perfect family.

-Of course, he will. Perhaps not immediately. But your brother will make sure of that.

- You're pretty sure.

-You, are not you sure?

- How do I know you're trustworthy? Be sure I will not become your pawn.

-I do not need a pawn. That place is taken by some an else.

-What do you need?

-I need you.

His direct claim surprised her.

- Let's say I agree, what makes you think you can touch my brother?

- I already know his plan. Anyway, what you have to lose? If you become my wife, you do not need your father, but he will need you.

-What does it mean to be your wife?

-For your father, it was an entry into the technology market. For you, it means that you will receive what is yours. It means we have to live in the same house.

It means that you will not cheat on me. And the other way around.

I protect my family. If you become my wife, I will protect you.

Ingrid looked at Alexander after he began to say

-Nothing else. Not the same bed. No sex.

-If you don't want to. Alexander said in a calm tone

-How long will it take?

-You can leave it when you want.

-Okay. Anyway, I have no choice.

-Good. I've finished eating. You?

-Yes.

-Good. Let's go.

-Where?
