[PROLOGUE]

"I want you to meet with my daughter," the old man, head of Klen Co., Joseph Klen said.

This happens all the time whenever Aaron had a business deal with any other corporate leaders. Setting him up with either their daughter's, granddaughters or even sister's, for the sole purpose of getting connected with his company. Or rather, they wanted to use him for his money.

'Ah, another money digger...' He thought as he continued to pretend to be listening to the older gentlemen's words of praises for his daughter.

"She's about two years younger than you, and imagining the both of you standing together will be a sight to see! Well, it might as well be as if looking at a painting! That's how perfect you and my- "

"Pardon my interruption sir," He said with a smile. "But I think you've forgotten that I already have a beautiful wife who's ten times more perfect than your said daughter,"

The old man grinned, as if he was waiting for him to say these words so that he can rebuke his opinion. Watching him grin made the other person irritated. But that's not the only thing that got on his nerves.

The way the old man sits, as if he was the ruler of the country, his awfully strong and unpleasant stench of cigarettes mixed with his perfume, the way he speaks as if every word he spoke was precise and should be followed. Everything about this old hag made him feel vexed.

"Ah yes, your wife is the CEO of that jewelry company, isn't she? She's very successful. Intelligent and quite the beauty as well," The man continued as his hand stroke his chin, as if he had a goatee. "But from what I heard; you've been married for two years but still don't have an offspring. Doesn't that make the both of you to feel dishearten?"

A switched flicked inside Aaron's mind after hearing those words. He looked up to the old man and calmly express what he wanted to say. "That's a bit too much, don't you think?"

He smirked when he saw the old man flinched, but continued with his calm demeanor, crossing his legs and placing his hands on his knee, as if wanting to let the other person to take a hint that he's the dominant person between the both of them.

"... But I suppose your right. I think it's not a bad idea to meet and hook up with someone new," He chuckled afterwards.

The old man's eyes went wide, disbelief could be seen from his facial expressions, as if he didn't expect him to agree with the deal. But that quickly changed into a face filled with relief. He let out a big laugh, satisfied with the way things are going for him, and his daughter.

"You're a man indeed, Mr.Path! Why, in this day and age, it's not surprising if one has a mistress, right?" He chuckled and slapped the other person on the back, encouraging him to do the said action. "Then, I'll tell my daughter to meet up with you. Will you be free tonight?"

"Yes. Please tell her to meet me at the French restaurant that you and I went the other day. The dishes there were quite delightful." He answered with a smile.
