That is, until James receives an ultimatum from his ailing grandfather: get married or get very little! Unwilling to lose out on the bulk of his inheritance, James does everything in his power to expedite the process of finding a wife. Cadence unwittingly reveals herself to be the perfect marital candidate and James won't take no for an answer. Their marriage contract proves to be quite mutually beneficial.
Chapter 41 - Let's Talk About Dresses
James and Cadence stood outside his car while they waited for it to cool off from the air conditioner. The meeting with HR had gone well. Marlene, the head, had been surprised but promptly gave them her congratulations and sent her assistant to get the proper forms. She reminded them to contact the benefits department after the wedding to update their marital statuses and insurance. Once the forms arrived, they were explained, filled out and signed by all parties. Marlene was a busy person and didn't keep them longer than she had to. Still, as suspected, James could see the assistant whispering in people's ears before they even got to the elevator. "Come on, let's get some lunch" James said, opening Cadence's door for her. They both climbed in and he drove them north to Jack Allen's Kitchen, one of his favorite restaurants in town.
