I remembered I hadn’t called Mac Jayson.“Nath, I haven’t called Mac Jayson, did you send him the venue details?” I asked Nath while we walked inside. There were a lot of reporters around all taking pictures of us. I didn’t panic because of course, I was expecting it.“Yes, I did,” Nath replied.“Okay, thank you for that.” I was about to ask when Mom would arrive because Nath sent a car to go pick her up when my phone rang.

Rayner’s POV “That's all, Mr. Allen,” I said, concluding my speech. “That's a catchy offer not to accept miss, I will give the contract to Cee Enterprise,” Mr. Allen said and sipped from the cup of coffee in his hand. “I will take my leave now. Everything will be sent to you through my PA from now,” he made clear before leaving. Cee Enterprise is a gadget production company and I Rayner Carson work in the Business Management Department. I have just concluded a business meeting with this client who wants a lot of computers in his new company and he has agreed to give Cee Enterprise the contract.

So far, I have gotten sixteen

Rayner’s POV“Why are there a lot of errors in the contract,” Director Kim slammed the contract I had prepared last night on my desk angrily jolting me back to my surroundings.When he called me last night, he asked me to prepare a contract. He gave the details and despite my broken heart, I tried to draft it.Maci's words, the picture of Daniel riding her from behind, the stranger I bumped into, and how I spoke to him harshly occupied my head while I prepared the contract and even before Director Kim came in.His gaze was cold and I could see disappointment in his eyes. I have never made a mistake not even missing the letter ‘a’ when preparing a contract but now I have made a lot of errors like Director Kim had said.“Are there errors?” I asked to be sure I heard him well.“Yes, Rayner. There are a lot of them, I couldn't finish the first page,” he shouted at me.Director Kim is a nice man but he just hates dirty work, laziness, backwardness, and anything that will slow his work down

I stepped down from the company's car in front of Blue Nath. Director Kim had told me to go in the company car as getting a cab might take a while and I might get there late.I wouldn't want to get there late so I accepted. In front of me was the gigantic building of Blue Nath. The building is so high, the front was covered in glass, and it was wide in length that three buildings of the Cee Enterprise Diavolo branch could be built on it.I entered the building after admiring how big the building from the outside looks. The inside was more beautiful than the outside. A giant logo of the company's name was hung on the wall behind the receptionist.“Welcome ma'am,” the beautiful blonde-haired lady greeted me.“Rayner Carson, to meet with the CEO by nine am,” I informed her.She checked through the system in front of her, glanced at me, and back to her computer. “Ma'am you are a special visitor.

Rayner’s PovLast night, despite Nath had given me reasons that whatever I felt was just something anyone would feel, my feelings still didn’t change. After the conversation, I returned to my room and lay down.Everything was happening so fast and since Nath came into my life, I can’t give an account of how my life is going besides the contract I signed with Mr. Nelson. One thing I will be truthful about is the fact that I have met a lot of big men in Diavolo and who would have thought?And the most surprising of it all was that the most influential man of Diavolo, Mac Jayson asked me to be his daughter. I know a lot of ladies out there would be super happy when they are asked such a question but there I was, feeling absurd, or rather, I didn’t know how I felt.While in my thought and imagination, I dosed off only to open my eyes again in the morning. I checked the time and I was about thirty minutes late for work. I jumped up and hurriedly got into the bathroom to take my bath.I pic

Nathaniel PovI was hurt by her words and even though I tried to hide it, my emotions failed me. I lay on the bed, exhausted by the day's activity and Ray’s harsh words.Aunt Eli wasn't helping matters in any way because she had told Ray to spend the night in my room. After a few minutes, I observed Ray was not comfortable and then I had to ask her.She told me the challenge she was facing at that moment and to me, it wasn't something that she should be stressed about.I told her a few business tips and also what to send to Mr. Nelson and her next move came as a big surprise to me.She hugged me and muttered a thank you. For the first time, I got very close to her and even sniffed in her perfume. She smells like heaven.I could tell she was very grateful and that's because she hugged me. When she sent the reply to Mr. Nelson and he gave her a response, I explained a few more tips to her.We spoke about business for a long time before she felt sleepy and couldn't hide it. We argued a l

All through the day at the office, I kept getting congratulations and that gladdened my heart. I have not been regular to work for some days and then I returned with a big contract. It was things like these I prayed for.Before the end of the day working hours, I was informed by a security personnel that Joel was waiting for me. Director Kim allowed me to go as he didn’t want to keep Joel waiting but asked me to tell Joel the actual closing time or I should call him to come.It was a great idea and I was going to tell him that.“Why did you come this early? I still have about forty-five minutes before I can leave work.” I asked him after getting into the car.“I am sorry Ma’am, but it’s an instruction from Mr. Blackwood just to be sure you are safe.” He explained.“It’s fine but from tomorrow, you should arrive here when it’s about ten minutes to, okay?” “Yes Ma’am,” he replied.“Great, take me to my place, need to get the other stuff,” I said.Joel turned the car toward my house, an

Rayner’s Pov“Wow, it's good to see you back to work again,” Carista exclaimed as she ran toward me to hug me.“I have missed everyone so so much,” I said patting her back.“You are looking very beautiful,” He bit her finger and then continued, “Perhaps, I would take a week off, I am looking like a shadow of myself right now.” She said.“You can say whatever you want to say, but I will be honest with you. You still look amazing. Also, I didn’t intentionally leave work. I had some engagement, and then I brought good news, which would be made known later.” I explained to her.“Alright then, I can’t wait to know what it is,” Carista said with a hopeful smile on her face.“Director Kim?” I asked her.“He is in his office. Since you left, he has always been angry at everyone and he has a lot of work to do with no one to share it with.” Carista crossed her hands over her chest and gently shaking her head, she said, “The man is going through a lot right now.” She turned to me, “But thank goo
100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 34 - Thank you Nath
Rayner’s PovI was matching out of Nath’s room with so much energy, my heart jumping with so much joy inside of me while his heart was broken, I don’t know though. I opened the door and as soon as dropped my first step outside Nath’s room, I saw Aunt Eli looking at me.I jumped up and almost screamed but I managed to control myself.“Aunt Eli, you scared me,” I said holding my chest. I heard Nath rushing to the door.Aunt Eli smiled, “I am sorry, Ray. I didn’t mean to.” She apologized, but I still haven’t gotten myself back.“Aunt is everything okay?” Nath asked her from behind me.Aunt Eli nodded, “Yes, everything is okay. I was just so surprised to be told by the maid that Ray was inside your room like it’s the first time since she came here.” Aunt Eli said.I moved my hand to my back hiding the agreement file in my hand, she must not see it. “Umh, yes, I went in to ask him about something.” I came up with an excuse.“That’s great. Since the both of you are now engaged and live in t
100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 33 - The agreement
Rayner’s PovGetting a contract from Nath’s business partner was not something I had ever imagined although Betty had told me I could get a lot of such opportunities but I still didn’t think about it.Mr. Nelson kept saying a big contract but I still couldn’t get a glimpse of the big he was referring to. Would he get more gadgets than Nath from us? Over the years, Nath’s request has been the highest which is one of the reasons Director Kim would do anything to get it.And besides being the highest, it adds to Cee Enterprises' name.“I will send you the design of the computer I have and then will we continue from there. Good luck.” Mr. Nelson said before he left.The other men with him have assured me that they were going to get to me if they needed any gadget. They left before us and after a while, Nath asked if they would leave. The truth is, I have been thinking about work and the fact that I haven’t gotten any client in a while was killing me.But I think right now I will say, you

Nathaniel’s PovI had called Ray earlier to get ready so she could go see Mac Jayson and spend some time with him. I gave her a few hours and I called her again and she said she had dressed already so I left my room to meet her.When Ray opened the door and came out of her room, she looked very beautiful and I must say that I got lost staring at her. I knew she was beautiful before then but the beauty I was seeing while I stood in front of her was beyond what I had seen before.I kept looking at her, fantasizing and complimenting her in my head when I saw her wave her hands in my face. I quickly responded to what she said and after that, I took her outside to introduce her driver to her.She left and I couldn’t clear her beautiful face off my head. I went to the company where Davis informed me about the interview I was supposed to have at a media house but I told them to come to Blue Nath and they were already waiting for me to arrive.I got there and the arrangement began immediately
