-Heather's POV
"We have a problem!"
I am currently sitting outside of the Sanford's home drinking tea and playing puzzles with Luca. I look up to the patio door where I see Theo running his fingers through his hair. He looks like he has the weight of the world on him. I kiss Luca's head and stand up walking towards Theo gently tugging him to the side.
"What's wrong?"
"Xavier is out, like OUT and I don't think this company will sign without him."
"What do you mean out?" I say calmly.
"The medicine he took has knocked him out and I can't wake him in time." He throws his hands up showing his frustration. I think about it for a minute trying to see what I could do. I got it!
"Do you have the contract for this?"
"Yeah but why-"
"Get the documents and bring them to me. I-"
"Angel, I don't think-"
"If you want to close on this deal do as I say." He looks questionable but sighs and nods before walking back in the house. I walk back over to Luca and sit down with him. I explain to him that I am going to have to help daddy for a little bit which he doesn't mind. I pull out my phone and call Cami.
"Aww, miss me already?"
"Yes, but I need your help? I'm going to send you Xavier's address, I need you to come over with one of my suit dresses and heels."
"Okkaaayyy but why?"
"Long story, would you mind helping me with Luca for a few while I handle something."
"No problem H, heading out in 15 minutes."
She hangs up and I take a deep breath. Lord, help me get through this. I look back towards the screen door to see Theo coming out with the documents. He sits down beside me as I begin scanning through the documents making sure I understand what is going on. It seems to be a pretty straight forward deal.
"Are you sure about this Heather?" Theo ask looking curious.
"You already know who I am so you know what I am capable of." I smirk seeing him pale and clear his throat. It didn't take a genius to know that Xavier more than likely had a background check done on me since I was hanging out with his son. I would have felt upset if I didn't see it from his perspective- he was protecting his son.

"You- you know?" His eyes are like a deer caught in head lights while he stutters. I chuckle at him. He takes a deep inhale and releases a breath trying to figure out what he is going to say next. I place my hand on his and give it a gentle squeeze.
"You both need to work on your poker faces. And in regards to this deal, I know the company. I know how to deal with them." I nod reassuring myself as well as him.
"Miss Drake, there is a woman claiming to be your sister here?" Tessa says standing at the door. I nod at her while Cami comes barreling out.
"Where's my nephew?!?" She says looking around before Luca raises his head. She puts her hands on her hips and tilts her head to the side while smiling.
"Are you Aunt Cam?" Luca ask standing up in his seat. She nods her head while walking over to him.
"Nice to meet you Luca! I have something fun for us to do while the adults work." His face lights up as Cami gather's him in her arms. I smile watching the exchange. Cami loves kids and is good with them... for the most part. "H, your outfit is with Tessa."
She begins walking towards the door before turning back around to look at Theo. He smiles and looks her up and down. "Afternoon princess." She says before turning back around with a victory smile on her face as I chuckle at Theo's expression.
"Damn, she is something.." He mutters as we both head in to the house. I go to Tessa and get my outfit.
***********************
"Miss Heather, Mr. Colton- They are here." Tessa says as she walks into the office. I take a deep breath as well as Theo. We stand up and walk towards the door. Tessa wishes us both good luck before leading us to the large living room where three business men are already sitting. I don't recognize them but my hands begin to shake slightly.
"Are you sure about this Heather?" Theo whispers in my ear before we walk in. I know what this meeting will do for Xavier & him which is why I want to do it. My family might learn where I am but it's worth it, atleast I think so.

I nod as we walk in side by side. The gentlemen abruptly stand straightening there suits while stretching out a hand to Theo.
"Hello gentlemen, thank you for join-"
"I'm sorry Mr. Colton but where is Mr. Sanford, I understood he would be here closing this deal." The one in the middle questions quickly glancing at me. He is in his 30's with light brown hair and dark eyes. He has a fit built however holds his nose up too high believing he is superior. I internally scoff at him.
"Mr. Sanford currently is out due to unforeseen circumstances however I can assure you everything is ready to go." The gentlemen look questionable at each other before looking towards me. I give them a polite smile and sit down.
"Alright Mr. Colton, let's see what you got." They all sit down other than Theo who opens the contract and begins going through it while we all listen intently. I notice the gentlemen whispering things in their associates ears. Once Theo is done going through the contract he sits down while the gentlemen speak in hush tones. Theo looks over me and I give him a reassuring nod letting him know he did good.
"Mr. Colton although the deal is fair, we wouldn't feel comfortable signing without Mr. Sanford being present." One of the associates speak up while the other two stare at Theo. Theo slightly holds his breath.
"Whether or not Mr. Sanford is present, he created the contract and formed it to best for both parties so you both would have a win-win. Why is his presence necessary?" I ask while keeping a level tone.
"Miss, you must understand that-"
"No I don't Mr. Clarkson. You wanted this meeting to finalize the deal you already created with Mr. Sanford. Although he was not able to join, how does that minimize from contract he created?" I ask raising a brow and sitting up straight. One of the associates scoffs and looks at me with disgust causing my eyes to snap to him.
"Что бы эта сука знала? Она, вероятно, только здесь, чтобы быть нашим глазным леденцом." (What would this bitch know? She probably is only here to be our eye candy.)
"Мы знаем, что сделка хорошая, но мы могли бы получить еще одну сделку от его конкурента." (We know that the deal is good, but we could get another deal from his competitor.)
"Конкурент не хотел давать нам равную ценность. Мы бы проиграли, если бы не подписали." (The competitor wasn't willing to give us equal value. We would be losing if we do not sign.)
I narrow my eyes at them knowing they don't think I understand. I look over at Theo who clearly doesn't know Russian.
"Gentlemen, do you have any concerns?" Theo ask glancing between them.
"Кто этот панк думает, что он?" (Who does this punk think he is?) The one who called me a bitch states while keeping an emotionless face. Now that's it!
"Этот панк - тот партнер, с которым вы сейчас вздыхаете, поэтому я бы порекомендовал посмотреть на ваш язык." ( This punk is the partner who you are currently signing with so I would recommend watching your tongue.)
All heads snap to me with wide eyes. I stand up and straighten out my dress. All three associates look at me while paling while Theo just looks shocked. I slightly glare at the gentlemen who call themselves businessmen.
"Understand something gentlemen, Mr. Sanford does not deal with partners and companies who he feels is not a good match. After our lovely discussion I am highly doubtful whether we should allow the closing of this deal."
The gentlemen's jaw hang open while Theo looks at me horrified. I shrug him off and continue.
"The deal has changed. Sign over the rights for 5% less or don't take the deal. The option is yours gentlemen."
Theo gulps while looking back over at the gentlemen. The all looked questionable at me before nodding there heads together. We revised the contract and they signed followed by Theo. They shake Theo's and mine hand before leaving.
"Shiiitt."
I turn around towards Theo to see him looking at me in awe.
"I am not a Drake for no reason." I state while looking at him confidently.
"If Xavier didn't want you, I would marry you right now." I laugh loudly while he laughs along with me.
