Bianchi: Dark Knight

"Now, this is the part that many change their mind. I need your client list, before you protest just listen. You are a small organization if anything were to mess up it would come back to me. I just need to be sure you can handle the operations."

"I've done well without supervision so I think I can handle it." Tension is clear but it won't change the terms of our contract.

"I understand that. These are still the terms regardless of your feelings Milo. Remember you came to me asking for a chance, right now I'm giving you one." Milo rubs his hand over his face. His gray eyes dart between the contract and the pen.

If his plan is to get close to sink me, why all the hesitation?

I feel no closer to discovering the true nature of Milo's intentions. In the end he slides the pen over the paper agreeing to all the terms. He knows what will happen if he does not follow the terms of the probation. I have him trapped in a web that he does not even know he's in yet.

The waitress tops off our drinks while also leaving the check. Milo to his glee pays for the drinks which makes no difference to me. Once our waitress turns to leave, three people enter the restaurant. One being Cameron Dane, a brown haired woman, and my Little Lennox.

Today she wears a pastel blue monochromatic pantsuit. She doesn't spot me in the corner making it easier to admire her. Her walk is defined with purpose, head up shoulders back.

Perfect.

I wish no other men had eyes to look at her. Anyone that does must have this same urge to worship her. The impulse to fall to their knees and beg for her time, just a few moments of it.

"I'll be in touch." I speak to Milo but my mind isn't actually on him. It's far away in the land of Lennox Klein and her alone. We both stand parting ways, he exits the restaurant while I approach their table.

Adrenaline pumps through me as all I can see is her.

"Mr.Bianchi, what a surprise." Cameron speaks first, his voice grating and annoying.

"I hope I'm not intruding, I just thought how rude it would be of me to not speak." The table listens to me but my attention is strictly on Lennox.

"No intrusion at all. Please join us." Cameron offers the invitation to which I will hold no protest to. I slide the chair next to Lennox from under the table. "We have not ordered anything just yet." I nod discreetly, placing my hand on Lennox's thigh. At first she tense but ultimately she softens under my touch.

"Honey, I am so sorry. This is Fabian Bianchi, Mr.Bianchi, this is my wife Marie Dane." Cameron smiles at the brunette woman as if she hung the stars in the sky. I couldn't believe someone could stomach Cameron so much to the point of actually marrying him.

"It's nice to meet you Mrs.Dane."

"I've heard a lot about you Mr.Bianchi thank you for backing my husband. Very few can handle my husband. I suppose we are so lucky to have you and our Lennie on our side."

"Lennie is it?" I turn towards Lennox who pushes my hand off of her thigh.

"Not to you. To you it's-" I cut her off finishing the phrase I've heard many times. "Ms.Klein, I am well aware."

Cameron looks between the two of us with curiosity in his eyes. His wife smirks with a knowing look of her own.

"I suppose it is a nickname of sorts. Sorry Lennox, you know how much I love to tease."

Marie moves the conversation along teasing her husband and Lennox along the way. Marie told stories of their college days. Lennox actually introduced the two and they had been together ever since. It seems Lennox and Cameron have known each other since childhood, their families being very close to each other.
