Rowena returned to her seat before looking at Adam with a gaze that didn't match her words or tone from before. It was a look of gratitude and appreciation as Adam asked.
"What do you mean?"
"The real reason you want Erkath to make a partner in her business," Rowena replied.
"I'm afraid you've lost me," Adam replied with confusion as everyone else wondered what Rowena meant.
"If I become part-owner of Erkath Fashion, I will have to provide my model services to them way more often and for free no less, thus making you earn more credits."
"So that's it, why didn't I think of that?" Erkath said as she looked at Adam with newfound respect, only to notice the confusion on his face.
"What, that's actually a really good idea, why didn't I think of that?" Adam suddenly said as he understood what Rowena meant.
"Wait, that wasn't your plan?" Rowena asked in surprise.
"No, I already told you my reason for doing this," Adam replied.
"So you're having Erkarh give up half her Fashion business to me just because you wanted to fix my and Stacey's relationship?"
"Of course, I'm her boyfriend after all, and I don't want there to be any awkwardness between her and her own grandmother," Adam replied.
Rowena stared at him in whole for a few moments before showing him a genuine smile as she said, "Thank you."
"And here I thought he was some business prodigy or something." Erkath said in disappointment before adding, "Turns out he's just soppy for his girlfriend."
"That's how I like him," Stacey said as she kissed Adam on the cheek.
"Same here." Lorelie agreed as she kissed Adam on the other cheek.
"I should have taken a photo of that and uploaded it to Xer-verse. I would have loved to see the reaction." Erkath said with a sigh.
"So do you accept?" Adam asked again.
"I would be a fool not to, I not only get all these designs, but Rowena as a free model," Erkath replied.
"Hardly free, I'm getting fifty per cent of your earnings after all," Rowena replied.
"It's still worth it. With this, we can revolutionise the fashion and clothing industry. I will still be making many times more credits than I am now." Erkath replied before turning back to Adam and saying.
"Like Jacquez here, I will also have my lawyers draw up a contract."
After speaking, she held out her hand, which Adam shook
"Now about those sunglasses?" Erkath asked.
"Yes, I'm interested in them too. I think they will sell well here in the Oasis Galaxy."
"Two per cent," Adam replied simply.
"Done," Erkath replied happily.
"Deal," Jacquez replied enthusiastically.
"I have never witnessed deals go so smoothly," Rowena commented, shaking her head in disbelief.
"It's because he's offering something that no one else can, plus he's only asking for a small percentage of the sales; this is a steal for us," Erkath replied with a happy smile.
"Does your company have the foundation to start immediately?" Adam asked.
"We will have to carefully choose a few lines to launch first and then slowly release more over time as we expand," Erkath replied before asking.
"Anything in particular you suggest?"
"He's gonna say underwear," Stacey commented.
"Definitely underwear." Lorelie agreed.
"One hundred per cent," Rowena said in agreement.
"Why is he so fascinated with women's underwear?" Tephe asked curiously.
💫💫💫
"So these are the styles you all want?" Adam asked as the women nodded.
The business meeting had concluded a while ago, and Jacquez had left to speak with his lawyer about the contract with Adam.
Erkath had also left to return to her room so that she could contact her lawyer; however, not before asking Adam again to grab her a few samples of the sunglasses.
Since Tephe had already indicated that she wanted a pair, Adam decided to ask Stacey, Lorelie and Rowena if there was a particular style he could get for them.
Soon, the four women had scanned the various styles and selected a few of each that they wanted.
Adam stood up and stretched before saying, "Well, I will take a trip back up to the space station to grab them all for you."
"You don't have to go straight away," Lorelie said.
"It's fine, I need to check in with Spector regarding those Noir Family members anyway."
"Oh, oh, Adam, can I come with?" Tephe suddenly asked.
"I don't mind, but why? I'm only heading up there for a few hours. Wouldn't you like to relax with everyone down here?"
Tephe shook her head before smiling and saying, "I want ice cream."
"Ah, that explains it," Adam said with a chuckle.
"That's a good idea," Tephe make sure to stock up on plenty and bring it back for all of us. We can even let Metgar sample it." Lorelie replied.
"Kay," Tephe replied happily.
"I will contact the royal family and ask them to send a shuttle again so you don't have to queue," Lorelie stated before moving away slightly to make the call using her uniband.
"Want me to come with?" Stacey asked.
"No, you stay here and watch over Lorelie; we will only be a few hours at most."
"Fine by me, we can get to know each other better, you don't mind, do you?" Stacey asked with a smirk that Adam knew all too well.
"As long as you don't force her, she's still new to all this after all."
"Don't worry, there's only one person I will ever force myself on," Stacey replied with a smirk as she rubbed her hand over Adam's chest.
"Susan, right? I bet she misses you." Adam replied with a smirk.
"Twat." Stacey said as she playfully hit his chest.
Rowena watched their interaction with a warm smile, though her lower body did twitch slightly as their interaction reminded her of what she smelled last night, causing her to bite her lip slightly.
"It's on its way," Lorelie remarked as she came back over to join them.
"Well, I think I will also head out for a bit," Rowena said as she finished reading a message she had just received on her uniband.
"Do you need company?" Lorelie asked.
"No, no, you two spend some time getting to know each other better," Rowena replied as she winked at Stacey, who smirked in return.
Rowena waved as she went back into the mansion to get ready to head out.
Soon, the group saw a shuttle approaching before it landed a short distance from the mansion.
"Cya later," Adam said before kissing both girls quickly on the lips, after which he and Tephe headed to the shuttle, which took off shortly after.
"Finally some alone time with you," Stacey commented as her hand sneakily slipped around to grab Lorelie's ass before pulling her close.
"Eek." Lorelie said in surprise before saying, "What are you doing, Stacey?"
"Getting to know you better," Stacey smirked as she stared into Lorelie's eyes.
"I don't think Rowena meant it in that way," Lorelie replied shyly.
"Oh, she definitely did," Stacey replied as she started to kiss Lorelie's neck, causing her to moan and shiver.
"Mmm, But what about Adam?"
"He already said it's fine as long as I don't force it, and by the looks of things, I won't need to."
"But I thought we would only do things together when Adam was present, mmm."
"Why would we limit ourselves like that? Why can't we have all three? Our alone time with Adam, our group time and our alone time with each other?"
Lorelie was about to reply, but Stacey suddenly sealed her lips with a kiss, causing her to forget her train of thought as she started to kiss her back.

Rowena arrived on the main island that was the heart of Oceana Sevens tourist district. Her destination was a hotel that her familiar, Rachael, was currently staying at.
She had already asked her familiar which room she was staying in, and when she pressed the door's intercom, a familiar face suddenly appeared before saying happily, "Master."
As Rachael finished speaking, the sliding door opened to reveal her kneeling in front of it.
As Rowena entered, the door slid closed again behind her before she asked, "Did you get it?"
"Yes, mistress," Rachael replied obediently as she held up a data drive.
"Good girl," Rowena said with a smile as she took the data drive.
"Mistress, my reward?" Rachael asked hesitantly.
"Soon, my dear familiar," Rowena replied as she proceeded into the room while taking her clothes off, and once she was completely naked, she lay on the bed and ordered.
"Come satisfy me, I have been feeling sexually frustrated recently."
"Yes, mistress," Rachael responded as she also stripped naked before she went down between Rowena's legs and started to lick her out.
"Mmmm, good girl, I've needed this," Rowena replied in pleasure as she gripped Rachael's head and pushed it deeper into her pussy.
Rowena had Rachael satisfy her sexually for quite a while before she rewarded her by feeding off her wrist.
After she was done, she left the hotel room and returned to Lorelie's island to study the information on the data drive.
