IT was a beautiful sunny day in Summerville city. The sun was shining brightly above the sky, very clear and blue.

Summerville is the capital city of York State and also the business capital in the country. Skyscrapers are standing everywhere, the streets were bustling with vehicles and people for their daily work.

Those huge and tall buildings everywhere owned by the elites proved that Summerville is the top economic city in the continent and among of it towering the rest was the magnificent Galaxy Empire Group managed by the most outstanding and invincible young businessman in the world, Alexander Harris.

Due to his wide range dominance of power, irrefutable capabilities and cunningness he have been listed as the most powerful businessman and capitalist in York State and many of his fellow businessmen kneeled before him in great fear. Nobody have the guts to offend him as offending Mr. Harris is like digging their own graves. Whoever comes in his way, to his eyes they were just like dust. He can sweep them away anytime he want. He was well known all over the country as the cruel and ruthless CEO, devoid with the slightest of humanity whether business related or personal matters.

Standing tall and dignified behind the floor to ceiling window, Alex was looking down the rest of the city in a deep thought while listening quietly to his assistant's report from time to time. The building he owned consists of fifty sixths floors, it was the highest and largest building that stood mightily in the whole city.

No one new what he was thinking at the moment.

" Sir, Mr. Trevor has finally signed the papers about the land you were pursuing from southern district of Summerville "

Earl reported which caught his attention right away.

There was a glint passed through his deep obsidian eyes and his sexy thin lips slightly curved.

The land that he've been pursuing from the southern area was owned by a lavish businessman named Mr. Trevor.

He fancied the area as it was very convenient for the big development he have on his mind.

He was planning to built a huge hotel and casino on that place but Mr. Trevor firmly refused his proposal which was at a very good price and benefits.

Speaking of doing business he's a very straightforward person. He doesn't have much patience and always liked to take the shortest method as always.

To avoid further delays on the project he just played a little tricks on him. Mr Trevor have a lot of dirty works and philandering secretly for awhile.

Due to his status in the upper class society he didn't want to smeared his good name in public. For fear of being exposed the old man has forcibly signed the papers in order to maintain his pure character.

" Good. Start the construction as soon as possible "

He gave the order.

After Earl finished his report and got the boss's order, he was contemplating in his mind if he shoul relay the elderly's message to him.

Alex asked him furrowing his brows." Is there anything else? "

" Ms. Croft has arrived yesterday. The old lady arranged a meeting for the both of you this afternoon "

Everybody knew that the Croft family has long had a very good relationship with the Harris's. And everybody is aware that Ms. Croft admired Alex for a long time.

Hailee Croft was the only daughter of a powerful businessman from Cameron city, the neighboring country of York State. She was a well mannered young lady from a notable family, pretty and very capable. And for the old lady, she couldn't find any more suitable woman for Alex than her.

"Do i still need to tell you what to do? " Alex coldly reminded his assistant.

" Not at all Sir " Earl responded right away.

" If there's nothing else you can leave " he coldly commanded.

" Yes Mr. Harris " Earl bowed slightly before leaving.

He understood his grandma's concerns about him. She dotted on him very much and was already urging him to get married and have children. She was very eager and hopeful to see his great grandchildren soon.

Maybe she only pitied him as he was lacking the warmth of familial love. His parents had been separated for almost 20 years. The reason was his father's infidelity that lead to his mother's severe depression and became mentally unstable. His mother couldn't stand his father's betrayal and humiliation. His mother found that he was keeping a mistress outside and even had a child.

He was just eight or nine years old when that incident happened but the memory had been deeply buried in his heart. He hated his father very much since then for being such an incompetent husband and a father.

That hate grew even more deeper when he brought his mistress back home after his mother was sent away.

His resentment towards his own father shaped him to become the person he is now, ruthless and full of indifference.

This was the hard knot that have been greatly tied to his heart for a very long time. His grandma have been very worried about him that he might not be able to start his own family and will be left single all his life.

She already tried to set him up on too many blind dates with excellent women but he was never interested to anyone of them.

He doesn't have mysophobia but whenever those women gets close to him he felt like he was surrounded with highly contagious diseases.

The fact that they only approached him for wealth and fame as his leech-like step mother made him so disgustedly sick deep within his bones!

He didn't mind living in celibacy for a lifetime besides, all his concerns was only about business and making huge profits and power.

However, his Grandma was still persistent on her plans and have come up to her last resort, threatened him that if he will not find a good woman and get married in three months she will give her 15 percent of shares to his father.

Though he wasn't shaken about it he still gave it a thorough thinking and carefully analyzed the pros and cons.

He deeply cared and respected his Grandmother as she was the one who raised him and clearly he knew well she was only doing it for his sake so maybe he will give it a thought and might fulfill her wish if that what makes her happy.

Besides love and marriage are two different things for him. Everybody can get married without love and with his eminent status it's not hard for him to get a dutiful wife.

His grandmother's proposal was a win-win situation after all. It's like hitting two birds with one stone!
