Her hands were frantically trying to cover up the hicky given by Draco from his hard kisses placed on her neck. She was a fool. What was she doing. She had a meeting with some of the corporation leaders at Greenit Electronics. Her limo had arrived an hour ago. She had ten minuetes left before she was most definitely going to be late. She didn't even have time to take a shower and wipe Draco from her body. She had to fix her hair and dress in the green evening gown with the deep dip. She had matching green handbag to go with the dress. Her hair was piled on top her head and she was sure that she looked perfect except for the remenents of Draco's kisses that she couldn't even remove with cover-up. It didn't matter anymore not like anyone can notice because how light she had gotteon the red spots. The limo was waiting and this was as ready as she was ever going to be.

The whole way to restaurant, that's where the meeting is, she kept feeling horrible and the events of the day replayed in her mind. It wasn't right she was cheating on her best friend with her husband. Even if he did happen to be a bastard. She wasn't suppose to be in this position. She was doing the right thing. In the end Draco is going to be out of Ginny's life anyways so why did she feel so guilty. Because this was the first day of Ginny's honeymoon and instead of having Draco be with Ginny he was with her, in a room by themselves. Thank God he was gone now. She definitely had to find her own place to stay.

Her revere was broken when the limo stopped and there was flashing of lights and the doorman opened the door helping her out. Where the rich and famous dined out. This was the place to be seen and heard and she was here to make a splash in the memory of the corporate owners. Her adrenaline was running high as she got ready to introduce herself to her potential clients.

The waiter directed her to the table and there were two men already waiting. She was surprised to see how young one of the men was. Not much older than she. They both got up when she arrived and she smiled warmly in greeting. She shook their hands and then the waiter pulled out her seat for her and helped her get seated.

"Mr. Greenit Senior and Mr. Greenit Junior I persume. It is nice finally meet you both."

"You too Miss Granger. We have heard much about you and your success in the areas of business marketing. We want to sell our company and we hear you're the woman... "

Hermione didn't catch the rest of that sentence because it had got to be her worst day because right behind Mr. Greenit Senior was Draco Malfoy and Ginny and he was smirking at her and watching her as Ginny ordered her food.

"Miss Granger about our contract..." This snapped her awake.

"Contract...yes....um... you must understand Mr. Greenit your company isn't worth as much as it once was. The economy is falling and right now isn't the best time to sell unless it's because your bankrupt, but I've read your statistics and you are most definitely not bankrupt. As your advisor I suggest you hold on to your company for the time being and wait a while for the economy to steady itself. The contract can still be drawn a head of time, but you must understand that to act brash will lose you both a lot of money. We're talkin Billions of dollars. I know that it costs money to retain the company, but it would cost more if you were to lose it and I promise that I will try my hardest to sell your company to as much as I am able. You have my world."

"Yes it would seem that you do give sound advice. Course we will listen, but please Miss Granger help us get rid of this company as soon as possible. It's like a great big sponge soaking up our profits. Since business has been finished discussing we are up to the most pleasurable parts of the evening. First of which being what you would like to eat," said Mr. Greenit Senior.

The evening went on peacefully and Hermione was having a great time with Alex Greenit, Mr. Greenit's son. The elder Mr. Greenit had to leave early that night because his doctor forbids him to sleep after ten, but Alex sat with her and talked. They flirted and exchanged witty remarks and were having a grand old time when Draco showed up at the table. His eyes glaring dangerously at Alex. Alex getting the hint was rising to his feet and was ready to excuse himself and leave for the evening when Hermione jumped up and said:

"Don't worry he's just my... brother. Yes my brother Draco." Alex smiled at Draco and held his hand to shake Draco's but he got no response.

"He's just a little protective when it comes to me and other guys." Alex smiled knowingly. He had a little sister and he did the same thing.

"Well um... I guess I'll see some other time. What are you doing Saturday?" Alex asked dragging Hermione away to the wall leaving Draco by the table by himself.

"Nothing. I'm doing nothing."

"Then why don't you com...." Before he could finish Draco was standing next her Hermione and his arms around her waiste.

"Darling sister don't you remember we have to see our sick mother in the hospital. I know that you don't want to see her, but she's been waiting to talk to you. You have to understand Alex she's TAKEN...being taken to see our mother this Sat and it's getting late and she doesn't have a ride home because my wife took her limo, and I'm her ride and I'm in a rush to leave." Without even letting Alex get another word in he dragged Hermione away.

"That was rude and dispicable. You could've cost me my job and potential client."

"Why do you usually sleep with your clients?"

"HOW DARE YOU! You know what I am going back inside and you can drive off by yourself. Limos are easy to get. I'll see you later." Before she could walk two steps towards the restaurant Draco pulled her to him with an iron grip.

"You will follow my every direction if you don't want to see your friend hurt. She's mine to control and manipulate, Don't forget. I can easily twist her against you and I'll break her spirit with no remorse if you don't listen to me." he hissed

"So what do you want in exchange for Ginny's happiness and to relinquish your hold on her. I'll give you anything you want if you will let my friend go. Marriages can be annuled."

"I want you...."
