As charged as he was with thoughts, plans, and excitement, he no longer felt so paralyzingly exhausted. He still went and immediately closed the heavy curtain, but only out of habit.<br/><br/>Pacing around his office, he thought hard as to what he would do next. He needed to control the girl to get that ring. He'd only had a brief glimpse, but he'd sensed much from it, and noticed enough detail about the ring to know it was significant. She was desperate for a father figure. Desperate for love. That much was completely obvious.<br/><br/>After the pathetic way in which she'd marched right into his office and spit it out, just like that, he had to laugh. She was just a child. Full of angst, charged with emotion she was not mature enough to understand or cope with. It would be easy to manipulate her. She would be his in no time.<br/><br/>An idea came to him then, as to how he would proceed with the girl. He could not help but grin as he pulled up the curtain to leave his office appearing ordinary should anyone look in, then left to make his way to the lounge.
