"Hey mom, what did you say about my 19th again?"

"What do you mean son?"

"If I didn't get a girl........"

"That I would put you into an arranged marriage?"

"Do I get to choose who I want to marry?"

"Well, obviously not! She would have to come from a family of one of our business partners. Might as well get a marriage that's beneficial to the empire!"

"What about Lee Kara?"

"Kara? Well, it's hard to say. We aren't business partners with the Lees, son. We are very good friends but our businesses have nothing to do with each other. Why don't you try looking at some of the fine women that are born of our own business partners?"

Kai wasn't stupid. He wasn't going to give up so early! He had done his research. And he'd come up with the perfect plan that his mother wouldn't be able to say no to.

"We can BECOME partners..."

"And why would we need another partner?"

"Well, we don't have an electronics branch... If I marry Kara, we can partner up with the Lee's successful electronics company. That means more advertising! These days the Lee's phones and tablets have so many applications. We could have applications developed and powered by our own company. Even your fashion line can have apps!"

Mrs Kim looked up thoughtfully.

"Well, son, you are just brilliant! Why didn't I think of that! I get to have Lee Kara as my daughter-in-law and also get a new branch! I love worki
