A Christmas Romance Hired For Christmas 001
Blair's POV “You keep slacking behind!” My boss raised his voice at me as he used the document in his hand to hit my head continuously. “I'm sorry sir,” I apologize with my gaze lowered, not daring to meet him. I wish my eyes could kill, so my eyes would kill him now. “Sorry, sorry?” He laughed and threw the documents on the floor, “Are you doing this because your grandfather is the minister of aviation? Or your Grandma is a CEO? Or your rich family?” I ignored his questions and bent down to pick up the file. My boss was annoying as fuck, I don't know what his deal was, it felt like he bullied me for fun. “Sir, I'm returning home for Christmas, the minister of aviation wants me home, so I will be reporting from there,” I said in a low tone, hoping he got the message. My boss glared at me, “Get out, I don't care what you do.” I dropped the documents on the table and left his office. He hated me because I got this job through connection and I was able to keep it. “Are

Blair's POV “Blair, are you okay?” Clover hurriedly hugged me and I shook my head at her, “What happened?” she looked at me then looked at the door, “Where is Zade?” “Clover, I'm not okay Za…De.. ended every…thing…he…. didn't…give ... .me…any…ring…he.. broke…up…with…me,” I cried in Clover’s arms. Clover rubbed my hair gently and whispered comforting words into my ears, I couldn't understand where I had gone wrong, I had done everything right since I became an adult, so why did he end it? “I ..didn't …. do …anything …wrong, I…don't ....know ...why….he…ended…it..,” I sobbed louder as my heart began to feel numb. Clover excused herself from the living room and came back with a glass of water. I drank it and soon began to feel dizzy. Before I could ask about what was in the water, my eyelids began to feel heavy and I found myself falling into sleep mode. I opened my eyes to a pounding headache, when I remembered what happened yesterday, I jumped down from my bed and bolted to

Blair's POV I kept reminding myself I was doing it to get back at Zade for cheating and so my family wouldn't use the holiday to feel sorry for me and lastly for the plot. For the past few hours, I have been declining profiles and emails. I didn't like any of them and some looked weird, like they would rob or kill me. I needed someone to fit the perfect boyfriend. “I think you should go check this one out,” Clover said and I stared at his picture on the screen. He didn't look bad, he was handsome but I was older than him. We had been at it for six hours and finally found someone that was okay. “He looks good, he fits but what if he is a weirdo?” I voiced my concern to Clover. “Get ready, let's go together and figure it out,” Clover said and shut her laptop. We didn't have time, we had decided if we saw someone, we would set up a physical meeting immediately. I went to my room, freshened up, put on something comfy, and went back to the living room. We picked a cafe, convenient

Ace's POV “How long do you plan on staying here and living this lie?” My best friend and support system, Zion asked. “Zion not now, I'm very tired and would like to rest,” I brushed him off. “You need to make up your mind before January and return home, your family is worried,” Zion sat on the couch inside my room. “Are they really worried or do you just need space from me?” I raised my eyebrows playfully. “Ace, you know it isn't…” “Sir, Sir,” The cleaning lady entered my room without knocking, “You should come see this.” Without thinking twice, Zion and I ran downstairs to see my girlfriend Ziora coming out of my car drunk and the condition of my car was in a terrible state. I balled my hand into a tight fist, I just couldn't stand it anymore, “What happened?” I gritted and glared at her. I just got the car two days ago after she destroyed the former one with a fire extinguisher on purpose. Ziora walked zigzag till she fell on me, “My prince,” she giggled and she

Blair's POVI lazily opened the door and Clover jumped off the couch, “You weren't answering your phone, where were you?” Clover showed me her phone and I saw hundreds of missed calls.“I accidentally dropped my phone,” I closed the door behind me and entered the house.“Thank goodness, I thought you had done the unthinkable,” Clover placed her hand on her chest and let out a deep breath, “What are all these?” She took the bag from my hand to check the content, “You didn't take your card.”“Someone got it for me,” I sat on the couch, brought out alcohol from the bag, and drank it, “That was refreshing.”“Who?” A curious Clover sat next to me.“Some strange man, the man was fine and tall as fuck,” I explained everything to her.“So we will have to wait for an answer,” Clover said and I nodded my head, “Do you believe in fate?”What kind of question was Clover asking? “No, I don't believe in such things.”“The man we were supposed to meet for you couldn't come because his cat got into a

Blair's POV“Maam, we have arrived,” I opened my eyes to the sound of Clover and the driver's voice.I didn't sleep through the whole journey, I watched movies, I watched Tiktok and I looked at the houses as we drove by.I removed my eye mask to see we had arrived at Clover's house, “Don't carry my things with yours,” my sleepy ass said.“I should so you will come to my house sooner,” Clover said playfully as she brought her things down the van.“Whatever,” I rolled my eyes playfully, “I will come to see you once I'm settled in,” I screamed and waved at her as the driver began driving.The town really had the smell of Christmas, each house was well decorated with their families around and the smell of baking filled everything.We arrived at my house in less than ten minutes, me and Ace got out of the car and brought our things along. “Let me do all the talking,” I said to Ace before I knocked on the door. “Aunty Blair!” My little niece opened the door and ran to hug me.“How is my l

Blair's POV“What is the matter? I just arrived and was outside for a moment, I expected a good welcome but y'all are raising your voices and insulting my fiancé,” Kayla, my cousin, said with a smile on her face.“Kayla?” I was surprised to see her pregnant. The last time I checked, she didn't have a boyfriend.“Babe, what took you long?” Zade asked Kayla with a smile on his face and Kayla leaned in to kiss his lips.What? What was this? What just happened? Was I tripping or what?“What's…. going…on..?” My eyes darted between Zade and Kayla. I hoped I was dreaming.“Hmmm, as we already know, this is Zade, he is my fiance,” She showed us the ring on her finger, “And the Father of our baby,” she pointed at her tummy with so much happiness on her face and Zade flashed her a smile.“You..your….wh…what?” I didn't understand what was going on.“Kayla!!” Thaila shouted, “What madness is this?!!”“What do you mean?” Kayla pouted and asked the most useless question ever.“What?” One of my seni

Blair's POVI had told Ace not to bring up the matter and he was strictly here to pretend to be my boyfriend and not to interfere in my personal affairs.I had excused myself from the room and came to Thaila's room so Ace wouldn't ask anything.“The way he protected you was so manly,” Thaila praised, “So where did you meet this gentleman?”Ever since I stepped into Thaila's room, she hasn't stopped gushing over Ace. I had never lied to her and even now, I don't plan on lying to her.I avoided looking at her eyes and said, “On the street.”“On the street?” Thalia asked as if she hadn't heard me earlier.“I met him on the street one random night,” A small smile stretched on my face as the event of that night played in my head.“The streets, fair enough, I didn't know you randomly meet those kinds of guys on the street,” Thaila smiled mischievously, “So how long have you both been together? How long have you known each other?”The question I have been treading was finally asked, I didn'

Blair's POV “You don't have to go to the farm today; I already paid some laborers to do the work,” Aunty Barbara placed a bowl of the newly fresh fruits we had plucked yesterday on the table. Aunty Barbara was related to Clover, that's why she gave us shelter in this small village. It was a very peaceful place where elderly people and a few young people stayed; it was very far from the town, and they rarely had an internet connection there. All they did all day was farming and loading a truck that would take those things to the city to supply. They would give the truck driver a list, and the truck driver would return with their supplies. I didn't know such a place existed, now I know and it's been the most peaceful and beautiful place ever. “There is no need for that; I will finish the work; Blair can rest today,” Clover took from the fruit and threw it in her mouth. I will always be grateful to Clover for being more than a friend; she left everything she had and brought me he

Ace's POV “What will you do now? Will you go through a custody battle with her?” Landon asked when we entered the house. “A custody battle with who?” Rosè asked when we entered the house, “Hi Landon.” “Hi, his girlfriend doesn't want anything to do with him, so she said her lawyer will contact him once the child is born,” Landon explained without my permission. Rosè stood up from the couch and threw a bottle of water at me. I caught it and drank it, “Is that why you two didn't come back home last night? And Ace you reek of alcohol,” Rosè pretended to gag. “I just had a lot on my mind and I was trying to figure out a way to get Blair out of that…” I paused when I saw Ziora coming out from the gym room in her yoga wear. “You don't need to look for a place for her; she isn't there; she is already gone,” Confusion set on my face. What was this mad woman saying? I ignored the nonsense that came out of her mouth, “What are you doing here? Why the fuck are you still in my house? Have

Blair's POVI sat in the car and waited for Clover. She had gone inside the supermarket because she felt it would be safer to go alone.I checked my phone and I began to feel anxious as she had been gone for a long time. I couldn't help but feel scared, maybe something happened to her.I was about to come down from the car to look for her but stopped when she opened the trunk and kept things she bought in there.“I was really scared, what took you so long?” I inquired when she got into the driver's seat.“I was just taking care of some stuff,” Clover answered and I immediately understood she was defending me inside the supermarket.“Did you take care of it well?” I didn't want to ask many questions. Clover nodded her head with a smile on her face as she started the car, “Thank you,” I mumbled under my breath so she wouldn't hear.“What madness is this?” I heard Clover's voice when I got upstairs. She had left the car before me.I paused when I saw the scene before me; our windows wer
