A.N.: Hey Guys!
Okay so lately I came up with new idea for a story. This one, I hope, will be funny and you'll like it.
Of course at the same time I am working on my other story – Her Past or Maybe Future, it's just that I needed to write something slightly different.
Okay, all I can say now is ENJOY! ;D

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters form Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., it'd be awesome if I did, but I don't.

Prologue

Grant Ward was a man that always had everything in his life.

At the age of 24 he was the youngest CEO in New York. Grant had his own company that he started with his friend from Harvard – Barbara Morse and right now everybody knew that in Ward&Morse Design work the best architectures in the whole state, if not country.

It was now, two years later that they got the biggest job in history of company to do.

"I told you already, Mr. Coulson. You won't be disappointed with our project" Barbara smiled shaking Philip Coulson's hand. Her partner was late again.

"I'm so sorry for being late" Grant came into the conference room rushing. He came up to Coulson and extended his hand "Mr. Coulson it's nice to see you again and that is…" Ward looked at the man sitting next to their new client.

"That's my assistant. He'll keep me updated on your work" Coulson finished Grant's sentence, smiling.

Philip Coulson was one of the richest people in New York, he was known for doing business with Stark Industries. Apart from that he was known for having hotel chain in whole States. Right now he bought old hotel in Los Angeles and he wanted it to be renovated and redesigned.

"Hi, I'm Antoine Triplett, but please call me Tripp" he smiled warmly extending his hand.

"Hi, I'm Grant Ward, CEO and head architect" Ward quickly shook his hand, as if he wanted to show him who is boss here, and turned to his partner "Bobbi, can we talk for a moment?"

She grimaced at the sound of her name's diminutive but quickly regained her composure. "Gentlemen, excuse us for a moment" and walked out of the conference room after Ward.

"I told you not to call me Bobbi in front of our clients" she hissed. "My name is Barbara-"

"-and you hated that name when we were in college" he chuckled. "Okay, fine, I promise not to call you Bobbi anymore" he winked at her. "And now back to business. Are we closing the deal?"

"Well… almost" Bobbi was unsure. "There's one more thing that we have to do…"

"What? But we already did everything they wanted us to do… what's stopping them?" Ward asked, first that assistant, now something else. He swears to God if it wasn't supposed to be their best deal, he would just end everything already.

"They want to do an additional interview" Bobbie said.

"A… what? Are you serious, Bobbi?"

"Unfortunately, yes. That's why Antoine is here…" Bobbi looked at him. "Look, Grant it'll be only few questions and then we can get to work. The sooner we'll start, sooner it'll be over."

"Fine" Grant said and went back to the conference room with Bobbi behind him.

"Mr. Ward, are you currently in a relationship?" Tripp asked.

"Is that a real question? You have that wrote down in your papers?" Grant couldn't believe it. They sat in the room for already twenty minutes where Coulson's assistant was asking him sometimes weird, sometimes too personal questions.

"Yes, I have" Tripp was serious. "Now, can you answer my question?"

"No, I'm not in a relationship" Ward answered. Sure, there were some girls in his life, but it wasn't anything serious.

"Do you have in plans to start a family?" Tripp asked him another question.

Grant had to think about answer. "Well, at some point, I think so… but surely not now. My company and this project are now most important things in my life."

Tripp scribbled something down in his notes. "Okay, now, for the last question… when will you need landscape architect?"

"We have three months to finish project, so I'll say two weeks before finishing it, which means we'll need landscape architect in ten weeks." Ward knew that a good landscape architect would only need a week to finish their project, but he wanted everything to be perfect, beside it won't hurt to have another person in their team…

"Okay, so in ten weeks from now, I will come here with your new landscape architect" Tripp smiled getting up from his seat.

"Does that mean we closed the deal?"

"Yes, it does" he smiled and extended his hand. "Congratulations Mr. Grant Ward and I'll see you in ten weeks."
