45: The Chamber Scavenger Hunt
After two weeks of mundane life, Abby Wiess called to inform Conor that the NewAge Gaming deal was complete. Conor let out a sigh of relief. Now, to really begin to change his life. “Thank you, Miss. Wiess. As we discussed, please go ahead and set half in a corporate account for me and leave half as liquid assets. I believe in the near future I will be ready to make some business decisions so those funds will need to be ready to go.”
“Of course, Mr. Brantley. Call on us any time.”

Saturday
Saturday morning dawned bright. Conor was excited because today was ApaturePhotos Scavenger hunt for the Chamber of Commerce. Hopefully today, Jessica would get a glimpse of what he had been working on for her. When he got dressed, however, she had already left for the mall. He put on his suit and went down as well.

Kerrigan rested her head against the car window as her escort rushed her back to Targu province. “Ma’am, the Prima will be excited to have you back. He has been asking about you ever since you left.” One of the dragoons said. “He just wants to be sure his ‘prize’ hasn’t flown the coup,” she retorted. “He isn’t all that bad. Perhaps some romance will form after the wedding.” Kerrigan snorted, “Carter, just the mere thought of that man makes me go dry! Dry like sandpaper. Do you understand? Don’t ever talk to me about that old fool.” &ldqu
Rejected Billionaire 47: Vokrizin's New Home
The third week of November, Conor finished his Monday shift at Jackson’s and decided to visit Mr. Nuri. It was time to make Vokrizin a more concrete entity. A quick phone call confirmed Mr. Nuri was in the office and available so Conor made his way to Dreadnaught Law Firm. Once in the conference room, his team assembled. “Well… I didn’t mean to pull you all away from your tasks.” Conor said, chagrined. “Mr. Brantley, you may not realize this, but you are quickly becoming one of the firm's largest clients. Just the deal with young Yuri was enough to make you a VIP client. Add in your ownership of AperturePhoto and even the head partners are taking notice.” “Hmm well if that is the case… I would like to make Vok
Rejected Billionaire Update 48: The week before the Gala
Tuesday Spice shop day Tuesday evening was a breath of fresh air for Conor as he set up for Spice and Salsa night. These evenings were becoming a tradition for the Spice Emporium every Tuesday and Thursday as the street vendors all gather. Just as he finished setting the salsas out, Cara wandered down the street and stepped over. “Got room next to the heater for one more?” “Cara! Good to see you!” Conor hugged Cara catching her a bit off guard but she hugged him back and hopped onto the stool, which has quickly become her customary spot. “So what is new with you since the scavenger hunt?” “Well, Peter has been showing me all about ca
Rejected Billionaire 49: New Car
At noon on Monday, Ana Brooks spun into the parking lot of Jackson’s furniture in her red car. Conor came out a few minutes later and slid into the passage seat, the scent of orange blossom calming his nerves. “So, which dealer do you think we should try?” “Well, Mr. Brantley, the wyvern models tend to be solid cars for the money where the Druk dealership tends to carry more high-end cars. Abby sent me with a new company card for you so any larger purchases like this can be charged directly to the company account.” “Let's start with Wyvern then and see what they have. I don’t need to be spending my first check on a car.” A few minutes later they were pulling into a car lot. At first, every salesman popped their head up but when they saw Conor still in his Jackson’s furniture uniform most went back to what they were doing. Conor noticed one girl who looked like an intern trying to muster up the courage to come over. Every time she would start, she spun back to the desk in a nervous f
Rejected Billionaire 50: Tuesday at the Spice Shop
TuedaySpice shop Mr. Arroz was setting out two stools behind the samples table when Cara walked up. “Cara, dear, good to see you again! At this rate, I am going to have to start paying you for being here! But it does our boy Conor good, and the customers love you. How have you been?” Cara hugged the elder Mr. Arroz. “I am doing well. And if you are offering, I wouldn’t turn down a cut of Conor’s commissions. HA! But no, I just enjoy the chance to see everyone and people watch! Where is Conor? He is normally here by now.” “He should be around shortly. Said something about having trouble parking.” “Parking? Did he finally get a car?” &
Rejected Billionaire 51: I guess I am not wanted.
Thursday Conor worked in the kitchen, doing his best to prepare breakfast before Jessica could blast bast him. He knew things were rough, but so far, this week things were going well at work so he hoped it was all about to turn the corner. Jessica came in, ignoring the eggs he was making and opened the fridge to find food. “Conor, this weekend is a Gala for the city. AperturePhoto is being recognized for their efforts and we are having many of the big businessmen gather. Nyman is going to be there, because of course the Banks family were big supporters of the Scavenger hunt. He has asked to take me.” Jessica said, as if it was no big deal. “And you told him no, I would be taking you right?” Conor asked, rather a
Rejected Billionaire 52: Targu Province, Prima Zadok Sudeas
Prima Zadok Sudeas sat in a large room with ornate carvings of golden dragons spiraling up onyx columns. The Prima, high priest of the whole Dragon Order, still didn’t feel that the throne chair he had commissioned was comfortable. “Why cann’t those damn craftsmen not make a single chair that feels right?” he grumbled, twisting and turning on the cushion. “If the Dovari we questioned are to be believed, they say the spirit of Abrasax will prevent any but the chosen Kendov can sit upon the dragon throne.” “But this is not even the dragon throne! This is my throne, the throne of the Prima! It has no ties to those dead dragons or their legions.” The monk shrugged, “To the gods, would they really care which chair mortals chose to sit upon? I think the belief i
Rejected Billionaire 53: The Gala
Early Saturday morning, Conor rolled out of his bed at Vokrizin. This suite was quite comfortable and he supposed it was a good thing, as it may be more common for him to sleep here if Cynthia ever tried to kick him out of his room again. Tonight was suppose to be the Gala. Conor wondered if perhaps Jess would finally realize how much effort he had been putting in for her and her family business. As he walked down to the parking lot, he looked at his new Sapphire SUV. “I really shouldn’t take that home…. Jess might get ideas…” Conor decided to call a cab to drop him at home, leaving the SUV at Vokrizin for the day. That evening as he was getting ready, he heard Jess shout. “Are you ready yet?” Jessica asked, waiting impatiently at the door. “Just a minut
