Acton stared at the box on his desk for quite some time. He knew what was in it but that didn't make him any more at ease with the contents. Slowly running his fingers along the teak desk he sighed and shook his head. He didn't know why his parents wanted this but he'd comply. Leaning back he ran his fingers along the lapel of his onyx black suit picturing it would be similar to the tuxedo he would wear. It fit him almost like a second skin, the immaculately tailored garment showed his lean yet muscular body, while also hiding enough to allow for him to be mysterious. Slowly standing he walked about the desk and glanced about his office. The panoramic window view and massive space were fitting for a CEO but it was sparse. The carpet though white was spotless, all of the furnishings looked recently bought and unused. His fridge, tastefully hidden behind a panel was full of water. It lacked any defining characteristics besides that of opulent luxury, the large flat televison that blended seamlessly into the wall. The massive teak desk, the large black leather chair behind it. No pictures, no trophies, no momentos.
He flicked back his black hair and eyed his watch with pale green eyes. "She's late" He said to no one in particular. He'd not met the girl before, he only knew that the terms to buying out her parents company included a marriage. His ability to hide his annoyance was tested to its limits when he'd met them, they seemed friendly and polite to the point it disgusted him. He'd not even looked at her picture, merely sent her a text message then discarded the picture carelessly. It didn't matter what she looked like, she like her company existed only as property. He paced the room idly as he waited. His movements were slow and smooth, more like a predator lurking in wait from the way his gaze raked the room.
