"Are you serious?"

"Uncle," they heard John's voice and Cyrus shut the drawer softly as he glanced up with cold emotionless eyes. "We have a meeting at 3:30, we need to leave now," John said as he walked inside closing the doors behind him.

Cyrus sighed saying, "You don't have to join me for the rest of the day, finish up the work Sergei has planned for you, and join your friends for dinner."

"Oh, John, the dinner reservation you asked about has been made I forwarded the email to you, so good luck tomorrow," Soren said and John nodded saying, "Thank you, now all that's left is to tell her mom." 

"Tell who's mom?" Selena asked and Soren smiled saying, "Jian's mom, he's going to take Jian to dinner tomorrow."

Selena frowned and so did Cyrus as he asked, "Johnny, are you serious about this?" Johnny looked at him meeting his eyes saying, "Yes, uncle."

Cyrus sighed opening up the last drawer and taking out a box saying, "Then take one of my cars, you should drop her off later tonight too." John nodded as he walked towards the table and picked up a key saying, "Thank you, uncle." 

Cyrus nods as John leaves, and Selena follows him to gather her stuff. "Should we head out now sir," Soren said and Cyrus nodded grabbing his drink as Soren cleaned the table. The two left soon after Selena got her belongings to join them on their trip around the city.

...

"Sergei, how are the things I asked you to prepare?" John asked as Sergei walked inside with the new documents. "Once you finish these documents, we'll start the new projects and about the apartments you asked for, I have a few ready for tours, when do you want to do the tours?" 

John took a few seconds before saying, "Arrange them for next weekend, and can you check on the order I placed." He nodded, walking out of the office and making a few phone calls as John glanced at the clock. He would need to finish within an hour to make it in time before they started eating.

He wanted to rush through each document but he knew he couldn't. It would only cause more problems down the road if he did so. John took his time reviewing each document, and signing the necessary ones, before grabbing the keys and getting up. 

"You're leaving now?" Sergei asked as he walked inside carrying a bag and John nodded saying, "I have to leave now, or I won't be able to make it in time." Sergei sighed as he passed the bag towards John saying, "Here, I picked it up since it was done."

John nodded saying, "Thanks," as he grabbed the bag and quickly headed out of the office. He arrived at the restaurant half an hour just a few minutes after 9 and left the car with the valet as he walked inside the restaurant.

He walked inside towards the elevator following the directions Will had texted him about half an hour ago. He sighed they had booked a table outside on the roof with a view of the city.

"Oh, sorry," he heard a familiar voice as he turned the corner, and he smiled glancing down and saying, "It's alright." She stepped back looking up at him and he smiled asking, "Missed me?" She sighed saying, "Slightly, but didn't you say you have work to finish?"

He nods saying, "Yes, but Uncle let me off the hook after the budgets and I finished the other work, what are you doing in the hallway?" She smiled saying, "I was asked to guide someone to our table, that was you, I assume." 

"Yup, so how was the mall?" John asked and Jian smiled turning around and saying, "It was fun, I brought this dress, these accessories, and ya we just shopped around for a bit." He smiles following her saying, "They look nice on you, and it's your favorite color." Jian nodded as they walked along the hall towards their table.
