A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE (A Contract Marriage) EPISODE SEVENTEEN Theme: Tons of Rejection CONNECTICUT, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA Raven’s hand shook underneath the table as she clasped them together and stared anxiously at the bank manager. She had applied for an urgent loan, hoping that she wouldn’t have to do anything silly to grant her request. She gazed at the wall clock above the seat where the man sat, the time was past three in the afternoon and she still had no positive news. This was the third bank Raven was visiting in the span of four hours since she left Tiana at the coffeehouse. With her mind filled with hope, Raven had read through her business plans hurriedly, assured that it would get her the intended loan.

If her nails ever come alive they would have her teeth ripped off. She had chewed on her nails unconsciously and out of nervousness and her breath hitched each time she heard a door open.
