Bab 8: Chapter 7 : What'll be the souvenir?
Connor basically jumped in the air, fist pumping " My goddess knows my name "! Dallas shook his head mildly as he opened the file Iris sent, " She's quite interesting and efficient ". Connor looked at Dallas, the emotion obvious as he hugged Dallas' head close to his chest " I can't believe I got my goddess a new follower, the CEO of captain corporations at that ".
Dallas twitched all over as he punched Connor in the gut, " Are you asking for a beating "? That didn't damper Connor's mood as he rubbed his stomach, " That depends. Can I have her number "?
Dallas shook his head, " Of course not. This is strictly business, no need for distractions ". Connor frowned, shaking his head " She said she wanted to hear from me. You two are doing business ".
[ He's no longer thinking straight ] as he circled Dallas begging with all his might like an ignored puppy, " Pretty please Dallas. I'll do anything ". Dallas raised an eyebrow looking down at him, " Even take your vice president position back "?
Connor frowned, suddenly getting up " Of course not, I want to enjoy being rich without the hard work ". Dallas sighed as he got up, " And here I was thinking you'd do anything ". Connor tightened his grip on the now empty chair, " I will. And be the freaking VP ".
Dallas turned and smiled at Connor, " Wonderful news, then you help me pick up Aurora from school as well ". Connor clenched his fists tighter as he jumped up, " Of course boss ".
Dallas smiled with satisfaction as he walked out of the room, scrolling through the samples Iris sent and laughed to himself " Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea ".

Iris frowned slightly as the pencil she was balancing on her nose rolled off and she removed her legs from the table, " It's quiet...a little too quiet ". After meeting Dallas, she had a general understanding of the man, he was efficient and to the point.
Plus he was handsome, she played with the charms on her bracelet and smiled, " I wonder what sort of souvenir I'll be getting "? Iris had a hard time remembering things, especially the small details so she'd do anything to remember certain things.
In normal cases, she'd just get a souvenir and write a date on it or in more severe cases, she'd take something without asking. To be fair, those were her kids ridiculous requests.
They wanted to have brunch with a prince so be it. They want to hang out with in an international superstar, so be it. They wanted her to be in the military, so be it ". Iris could still taste the dirt from all the training Oliver put her through and she'd taken the uniform he wore the day they met, " I wonder if he's realized that yet ".
Iris leaped out of her chair and back downstairs. She could hear some violent noises but she couldn't hear their voices, moving closer she heard laughing? She saw Jeremy and Felicity lying down on the carpet watching TV.
[ That wasn't there before ] " You done with your meeting already "? Iris nodded absent mindedly, pointing at the TV " How did that get here "? Rachel only laughed, opening her beer can, " The kids wanted it so I got one ".
Iris still found it hard to believe, " In less than an hour "? Rachel smiled and shrugged, " I've got a guy ". Iris could only sigh as she watched them laugh, " If I took the TV away now, I'd be the bad guy ".
Iris opened the fridge, scanning for anything that needs to be restocked " We'll just go shopping tomorrow ". Then the doorbell rang. Iris didn't pay much attention to it at first but it became more incessant and it was obvious no one was going to get it.
Iris groaned in frustration as she yelled out to the trio, " Could someone get the door please "? They all shook their heads and touched the tip of their noses, " Not it ". Iris breathed in deeply, trying to stop herself from twitching as she moved to the door.
She opened the large black door and was met with an excited squeal as a young lady jumped on her, " I can't believe I finally found you Duhling "!
