Landon's POV

My name is Landon Parker and I am 30 years old. I have sandy blond hair that turns a shade of brown in different lightings. Along with this I have blue eyes, a muscular build and stand at 6'".

Today I finally was able to change offices in Parker Inc. Instead of being stuck on the third floor, I've be upgraded to the 50th. That's where the CEO spends all his time in the office.

My father is the CEO of Parker Inc. now, and soon it will be my turn to take over which is one of the reasons I get to transfer to the top floor. I'll be training with my father to take over the company in the upcoming year.

I have a brother named Nolan who is twenty-six years old and he's a serial bachelor. He associates himself with every kind of woman. It doesn't matter if she's tall, short, thin, fat, black, white or purple; he loves them all.

Speaking of Nolan, he walks into the office with a girl attached to his hip. Nolan smirks at me and points to his girl. "Do you like?" He mouths.

I give him the thumbs up before he opens the door and walks into Dad's office. I start unpacking my stuff, and put my certificates up on the wall. My favorite is the one I earned from graduating from Harvard with Honours.

My Grandfather and father didn't make it easy for me to get the job at Parker's Inc. They thought it was best the next CEO's studied and graduated at the top of their classes before even getting a job at the company.

I had to start right at the bottom as a mail guy. I had to deliver things to people as well. Things like tea and coffee and photocopying; all the boring jobs.

I sigh and move to my seat. I spin the chair around and stick my hands on the back of my head and look out the window. I can see the entire city from my desk.

Someone behind me clears their throat. "Enjoying the view son?"

I spin the chair around to find my father and grandfather sitting in the chairs opposite my desk. I smile. "Yes," I sit properly in my chair and place my hands on the table. "What can I do for you today?"

The door opens and grandmother walks into the room. She walks to the right of the room and takes a seat on the leather couch.

I didn't do anything.

Grandmother smiles. "We need to talk about you becoming the CEO of Parker Inc."

"Okay,"

Grandfather puts a piece of paper in front of me. "This is your contract for the year before we sign the CEO position to your name. Do look over the list of things you need to do by the end of the year."

Grandmother leans forward on her chair. "Number one is very important on that contract."

I take the paper from my grandfather and began reading.

Name: Landon Parker

CEO PERMANENT POSITION TERMS

. Needs to give up his bachelor ways and marry someone during the year.

Have they lost their minds? I can't get married within the year.

I skip over the rest of the contract and sign the thing. I give it to them. "I'll find someone to marry within the year, Grandmother. I promise you and you'll love her."

Grandmother nods. "For your sake I hope so."

Grandfather, father, and grandmother rise and exit my office.

I bang my head on the table a couple of times and then...

I know who I'll get to marry me. She'll need to sign A Year Agreement to be mine only.

I pull out my phone and look at the picture of the beautiful blonde, blue eyed Goddess I once knew.

Mikayla Harrison, you will be mine again.

It's been a great year, not. I thought, sipping on my coffee in the cafe. I just spent my last twelve dollars.

This year I went through a break-up with an eligible bachelor who couldn't stick to one woman. He went through fifty women from what I've read in a magazine since he dumped me in January.

After I got dumped I went in search for a job and got one as a secretary in a law firm in San Francisco.

I enjoyed working in the law firm. Then one day my boss came onto me at a party. When I turned him down he went to the partners and told them that I broke the no dating Co- workers rule.

I finish off my coffee and take a glance around the cafe. People are talking to each other and I'm alone in a corner booth with the newspaper. I flip through the newspaper and I see a picture of my Ex Landon Parker and he's wrapped around some stick thin blonde.

Landon's eyes have lost the light in them.

What has he done to himself?

The heading on the newspaper captures my attention.

Bachelor Gets thrown out of own Party

The eligible Bachelor Landon Parker has been thrown out of his own party after getting into a fight with a contender of the competition. This year Landon was named the most eligible bachelor after he broke up with his long term girlfriend, Mikayla Harrison.

Mikayla Harrison hasn't been seen around Los Angeles since they broke up. Rumours were heard the night they broke up was the night he was going to propose to her.

Landon Parker hasn't been seen with a girl worthy of the Parker last name since his Ex. If she shows up in Los Angeles what would her reaction be to finding this out?

I crumple up the paper and throw it under the table.

Why would they use my name in the same sentence as his? We haven't been together in nearly twelve months.

I sigh, rise from the chair and head to bin. I throw the cup away and exit the cafe.

On the way home I walk past Molly's. There's a sign on the window advertising positions available.

Positions Available

Bar person聽

Dancer

Bouncers

The sign on the door is flipped to open. I push the door open and enter Molly's. I hear the bells ring from the door and I see the door chimes as the door shuts behind me.

I walk through the building. There are three stages painted red, with a pole in the middle of each.

The lights are flashing black and white. I can't see in front of me with the flashing lights making my eyes hurt.

I close my eyes for a second. When I open them I see the bar and the lights have stopped flashing.

A man stands behind the bar. He is tall 6.3ft, bulging muscles I bet I can do pull-ups on this man, tanned skin, brown eyes and black hair, he has a piercing in his ear. He smirks. "Did you find something you like?"

I laugh. "You're cute." I blurt, and cover my mouth. I feel my face heat up from embarrassment.

He throws his head back and laughs. "I wouldn't want my misses to find out about you flirting with me."

I roll my eyes. "I want to apply for the position of bartender."

He arches his eyebrows. "I'm surprised."

I frown.

Huh?

He continues. "Most of the girls that have come through those doors want to be a dancer. Why don't you?"

I fold my arms across my body. "I'm not desperate to show my body off to men for money. I show my body off when I'm in the bedroom ready to be treasured by the man with me."

"Riley," the guy yells.

A brown hair, light blue eyed, tanned skin, 5.9ft girl steps out from a room behind the bar. She wraps her arms around the guy's neck. "Baby, can you take the new girl shopping? She starts work here tonight as the bartender."

"Okay, Kyle." She walks over to me and extends her hand. I place mine in hers and she shakes my hand. "I'm Riley."

"Mikayla," I pull my hand out of hers.

Riley picks up her handbag from behind the bar. She kisses her boyfriend. "I'll see you tonight."

Riley walks out from behind the bar and holds my hand.

My hand starts to sweat in hers.

I don't feel comfortable holding a girls hand.

I pull my hand out of hers and wipe the sweat on my pants.

Riley stops in front of a sleek black BMW. "Get in." She unlocks the door to her car and climbs in.

I open the door and climb in. The cool black leather hits my legs and I scream from the coldness.

Riley turns to me. "Are you alright?"

I nod. "The seats a bit too cold for me."

Riley pulls out of the parking lot and drives towards the closest shopping centre.

I have no money to buy these outfits with.
