Chapter Seven: The Business Trip
Ginny woke as the morning sunshine lit upon her face. Oh my God, the headache was unbearable, with pain searing through her head. Pain? What.the events of last night came back to Ginny in less than a second. Sitting up, she found herself in her own bed, with no 'intruder' next to her. She must have dreamt that Malfoy had the nerve to apparate them to HIS apartment, and what challenge was he talking about because she definitely didn't issue a challenge. Well, as long as she's in her home with no damage done, she would be fine. Looking at the alarm clock next to her, Ginny cursed at the early time. 6:00 a.m., it was six in the morning! She got out of bed and headed for the shower, taking her time and enjoying the way the water splashed at her body.
Draco got into the office at the International Draconis Bank & Investments around seven that morning, heading straight for his office where he was attacked by an anxious Blaise who wanted to hear how the evening went. Reframing from telling him what he did after dinner, he explained how the evening went as planned and that the vice-president of Wizard & Co. agrees that a partnership between the two could exceed our branches around the world. Blaise was ecstatic and set off to research on the first location they'll be investing in. Leaving Draco gave him some time to relive last night. He was afraid that Ginny had been badly injured in the fall. He had rushed over to Mungo's and was later told she was sedated and that it was only a small bump on the head. Well that just showed how little Draco knew when it comes to emergencies, not that the accident was any emergency. Oh well atleast he didn't make a fool out of himself infront of the vice president of Wizard & Co. However, it was definitely worth the embarrassment. Seeing the look on Weasley's face was priceless as he pushed her down onto the couch. Man, and she believed him! He wasn't that stupid as to ruin a business deal because of his other needs, but hell it was funny to watch. She must probably think he's a bastard or something, well he was but just to make sure no one forgot that. Smirking at his latest thoughts, Blaise came back into the office -much to Draco's delight- hurrying him to get to his next meeting with the Chairman of the Malificent Bank in Spain.
Rushing into Wizard & Co., Ginny came up to the lift after grabbing a nice hot mocha capichinno. Walking into her office, Lily met her half way, reading out her morning schedule. Ok, one meeting and a few phone calls to put in, as well as continuing with the construction of new investment program and the new design module for the year. Lily informed her that Blaise put in a call to start up the investment branching. He said that they were thinking of starting out in Australia and moving from there to Russia, then Morocco, Ireland, the United States and Canada. Those areas are going to be split in half to make the overall time run faster.
"Call Malfoy, I want to have a word with him", Ginny said as she went into her office laying down her briefcase and sitting down with her coffee in hand.
Not a minute later, Malfoys head appeared in the fire grate across Ginny's desk. "How do you expect us to get to all those places to start up the business's there in less than a year?" Ginny said as she put down the coffee mug.
"My dear, we'll have to go there ourselves to inspect the areas and decide where to locate" Draco said, continuing before Ginny had a moment to protest with this new plan, "don't worry, the locations have been cut down the middle with us only needing to visit half of them. Blaise and Lily will be visiting the closer areas while maintaining the business's here. All in all, I think it will be very productive, we'll be visiting Australia, Morocco, Ireland and Blaise and Lily will be visiting the U.S, Canada, and Russia while keeping an eye on the business's here. We'll be leaving in less than a week to make good timing, I've already set up reservations at a few hotels, so just pack a few essentials and I'll have Blaise call if anything else changes. Goodbye Virginia, have Lily write if you have anything you want to discuss."
With all that said, his head disappeared from the grate, leaving Ginny to throw a fit for being pushed into a business trip that she had no intention of going on. AHHHHH! That man had some nerve, throwing this on her, and where the hell is Lily? Why didn't she tell me that I had to spend months with Malfoy locating new areas to set up new branches? God this investment might just be the death of her!
**************************************************************************** **********
"Look Ginny, think of it as big Vacation! You get to visit all those exotic places on a business trip, beside you have to go, you're the vice- president" Lily exclaimed with Ginny glaring down at her.
Ginny sat down in her chair trying to hide her frustration. "Lily, you don't understand. While you're off with Blaise in other countries, I'm stuck with Malfoy, Malfoy! Do you know how tiring and frightful that'll be. I mean the man drives me crazy with his smirks, his arrogance and over- confidence! I don't know if I can stand all that for months in unknown territory."
"Don't worry Gin, you're braver than you look. Malfoy's probably the one in his office hitting his head against something. He's probably the one who doesn't think he can take months in unknown territory with such feisty businesswoman at his side".
Lily's words of encouragement brought a smile to Ginny's face as they both started to laugh and come up with ways to embarrass the womanizer. Of course it was just all good, since neither of them could actually do all that to him because of their unwritten partnership.

Little did the young women know, that Draco was indeed hitting his head against his desk as Blaise tried to brighten the mood Draco was now in. Months with that woman was going to be the death of him, atleast Blaise got to travel with a woman he enjoyed. Well, he did enjoy watching Virginia when she was angry or upset, but that was besides the point. How the hell was he going to survive, travelling with her?
Blaise tried to bring Draco's spirits to a good point, but Draco's bad mood was already slowly going away. Blaise couldn't tell exactly what Draco was thinking, but it must have been good to change Draco's mood so drastically. Shaking his head at the mood swings his boss took, Blaise started to pack Draco's and his bags for the upcoming trip.
Note: I wonder what Draco was thinking to change his mood so drastically? Well I'll have to start writing the next chapter. Hope you liked!
