Lillian walked to the park and let Toby loose in the dog run. She turned and sat on the bench inside the run area.
'Why is he tring to mess with me when he has a fiancee.'
'Even though we are not doing anything we are sharing a bed and that's wrong.'
Lillian sat there watching Toby run while trying to decide what to do. After an hour of sitting there her phone chimes.
'You have a text message miss'
[Please bring me the papers in the blue folder on my desk in the study. I need them by 10]
She looked at the time 8:34 she had time. She let Toby play another fifteen min before heading back.
Max seen the Miss coming and opened the door. "Max can you call me a car. I needed to run up and get some documents for Mr. Wolf and deliver them to his office."
"Yes Miss"
She ran upstairs and found the file. She rushed down and arrived out front the same time as the car.
She really did not want to see him so soon today. She wanted time to decide what she should do about this new situation, but she did not what his work to be affected.
She arrived at his building at 9:30. Toby and her got out and walked into lobby.
The same receptionist was at the desk.
"I have a file for Mr. Wolf."
"You again." The receptionist look at her screen. "You are not on his appointment list."
"No, I don't have an appointment. He text me to bring him this file." She rolled her eyes at the girl.
"If he needed a file he would have gotten Mr. Johnson to fetched it. Not some bimbo with curly hair."
Lillian was getting a headache. This girl was to much. She did not need to be insulted. "Just give these to Mr. Wolf before ten. He said it was important."

"Zane, I text Lillian to bring me some documents so please see that she waits for me in my office. I have a meeting with pop."
"Yes sir. What time will she be here."
"By my calculation between 9:30 and 10."
Jake then walked to the lounge his grand father was waiting in.
"Pop thank you for coming."
"Anything for my favorite grandson." He smiled.
"I'm you only grandson." laughter Jake.
"Yes you are. So why did you call me here." grandfather Smith asked.
"Pop, I don't want to marry Susan." Jake said firmly.
The old man took a deep breath. "Why?"
"I don't love her. I want a relationship like you and nana had." He hoped that would soften his heart.
"..."
Jake waited but his grandfather just sat there. After a moment he took a long deep breath. "There's nothing you can do right?"
His grandfather shook his head, "Sorry Jake. Your Mother and Father made me promise to stay out of it."
Jake closed his eye and pinched his glabella. "Then release me from my promise. If I have to marry her then let me at least have sex with someone I could love."
"You would really cheat on your wife?" His grandfather asked in a calm voice.
"Pop, there is this girl. I have feeling for I think. I don't want to give her up exploring this even if I marry Susan."
"Would that be fair for this girl to be the other woman?" He looked into his grandsons eyes.
Jake did not know what to say. He had only known Lillian a few days and his mind was mix up. His grandfather could also see through his grandsons heart.
"No pop, it would not. Guess I will be lonely my whole life." Then he had an idea. "I am sorry... I will not be able to give you any great grandchildren. But I will marry Susan."
He knew this would soften his grandfather heart. So he sat there with a sad forlorn look on his face.
His grandfather raised his eye brows. "You plan to never sleep with you wife?"
Jake shakes his head. "I will never touch her Pop. She makes my skin crawl."
"Ok... ok, I'll see what I can do. You are going to be the death of me." He put his hand on his grandsons knee.
"Here is what you should do..."

Just as Lillian was about to walk out the door Zane just barely stopped her.
"Miss, please wait with the file in Jakes Office."
"Sorry Zane. Little miss personality has the file now. I am taking Toby back to Mr. Wolf to pack my things. You can tell him that I can tell he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. If he wants to mess around with someone then make that person his fiancee. I'll spend my time looking for a new building to rent."
"Please, Lillian if you don't go up he will fire me. You would not want me to lose my job." He pleaded with her.
She could not let anyone be fired because of her. She walked back to the receptionist and said, "Give it back, I'll give it to him my self."
The receptionist handed her back the file and rolled her eyes.
Lillian followed Zane to the elevators and he left her in Jakes office. She sat there petting Toby for about forty five minutes before Jake walked in.
"Thank you for waiting." Jake walked over and sat next to her
"Not sure why I needed to stay?" She continued to pet Toby.
"I need to explain about Susan." He pinched his glabella and shook his head.
"Your fiancee is Susan?" She repeated.
"No the person who thinks she is my fiancee is Susan." He had to make her understand.
"Thinks?" Lillian was puzzled.
"Yes Thinks. I can't stand her. My parents and her parents set this up. She is a socialite who has her heart set on me. She makes my skin crawl." Just saying this made his skin crawl.
"Go on..." She said.
"I need your help. I will sign the building over to you right now if you agree to play my fiancee. Spend quality time with me out in public. Let the media get a hold of the story. Live with me for the rest of the thirty days."
"How long do I need to play the part."
"Till my parents back off."
"What happens if they still have not backed off when the thirty are up?"
"We can negotiate then." He smiled.
