Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate

Loney's attitude was neutral. He didn't speak immediately. Moreover, it wasn't the first time women threw themselves at him but what amazed him was how a high profile man like Governor Maxwell, could shamelessly give in to his daughter's silly demands. He patiently waited for later to continue;

"So, I propose that you make this a love union. Both of you are single and that would be perfect. In return, I will keep all those mafias off your back and also give you all the government construction contracts. So what is your stand?"

Governor Maxwell sipped on his wine and laid back leisurely knowing he had Loney cornered. The opportunity to walk around without watching over his shoulders had enough appeal. However, he was stunned when Loney spoke;

"You flatter me, Governor Maxwell," the corner of his lips curled up as he continued, "and I must confess that your style of achieving your daughter's wish is quite impressive. Unfortunately for you, I'm not afraid of the mafia and I don't go around looking for contracts." Governor Maxwell frowned, as Loney continued to speak;

"They look for me because every client understands the quality and uniqueness of my work. As for the beauty beside me," he gave Governor Maxwell's daughter Jasmine, a quick glance. "I would have loved to agree but it's rather unfortunate that I don't feel any connection to her. Don't get me wrong. It's not just her but the entire female race," he rubbed his hand under his chin suspiciously, his gaze focussed on Governor Maxwell

Loney wasn't a fool. He wasn't going to surrender his hope to a politician. What if Governor Maxwell wasn't in power tomorrow? Besides, that will also be a way for the latter to have control over him. Loney didn't like to be controlled. Still, he also knew that it would be best to not offend the man before him. The lesser enemies, the better. Governor Maxwell regardless, was most interested in the last part - not having a connection to his daughter? She was the most beautiful in Mexico city. Still, Loney mentioned the entire female race therefore, he couldn't help asking, "you mean.."

Loney was calm, confident and neutral, "it's very simple, I'm gay." He almost laughed at his own game but remained solemn, as he studied the faces of Governor Maxwell and Jasmine.

Besides, he doesn't want to give her any insight into the threats he faces because of his job. That would only plant so much fear and insecurity around her. He cared too much about Danica. He wanted her to be his and was still trying to build the confidence to tell her how much he felt

Her voice was pleasant and soft. Must be the first time she spoke with humility, as Governor Maxwell grimaced in shock. He couldn't believe that his proud daughter would humble herself when it came to a man she didn't even know therefore, he couldn't
