My BFF

Alternate Universe: BFF doesn't stand for what you think it does 😊

"All I'm saying Ms. Granger is that your family property is worth a lot of money and it is just sitting here unused. If you would allow us to lease the property from you then the British Farming Forum would be able to utilize the property for the service of others in need," he finished and leaned back in his chair.

She shook her curly hair. "I'm not even sure where to begin Mr. Malfoy. Of course, the British Farming Forum has a genius way of selling itself to those with acreage, but I'm not sure how much I can trust your foundation."

"Ms. Granger, the BFF is not just for a singular group of people. My BFF works to serve both those in need and those that can hold their own without assistance. I understand that leasing your property to us is a difficult decision and I don't want to rush you."

He reached into his briefcase and withdrew a green manila envelope. "This is an outline of the proposal with payment options and a lease agreement. Look it over. Have an attorney, a family friend, or a dozen adversaries look it over. I understand if you decide not to utilize our program, but I hope that you will give it some real thought. We manage to use the resources the earth provides to help a great many people."

He stood from his seat in her living room and extended his hand to her with a slight smile. "Once you've made your decision just give me a call, yeah?"

She stood and shook his hand over her coffee table. "I'll be in touch soon Mr. Malfoy."

She walked him to the front door of her flat and he paused with his hand on the door knob. "One other thing Ms. Granger," he said with a smolder that would dampen anyone's knickers.

"What's that Mr. Malfoy?"

"The sooner you make a decision the sooner I can dissolve our partnership."

"Why… why would you want to do that?" she asked slightly hurt.

"If we aren't partners then I can take you out to dinner. Have a good afternoon Ms. Granger."

Hermione was blushing a deep red as he exited her flat, but she knew she had more riding on this decision than just a few dozen acres of land.
