Gwyneth’s POV

“I'll be your girlfriend from 6am up to 5pm only. If the time is up and you're still in need of my service, you had to pay for my overtime. Aside from that, you need to inform me firsthand if you have events to attend and need me to escort you there so I can prepare ahead of time." I clarified things up with Kalex before giving him the contract he had to sign. 

A goofy smile crept into his picture perfect face as he reaches for the documents I was holding up for him. “Is this really necessary?" he asked, pertaining to the contract.

We are currently here in my own apartment, discussing the do's and don’ts when I'm gonna be his contract girlfriend. 

I opened my bag, rummaging for my pen and handed it to him when I saw it. "Of course it is! This is not some silly jokes you could just crack, Kalex. This is my job, better be sure before diving in." I replied to him curtly.

"What if the contract winds up?"

"Obviously, I am done serving you as your contract girlfriend."

He nodded as if he understood what I was saying. "No renewal of contract?"

I was stunned for a minute before clearing my throat, holding my chin up and slowly took a sit on the love seat sofa right next to him. “Whatever floats my boat."

"What do you mean?" he inquired.

I heft a sigh before sinking into my seat leaning back in the process. “It depends on the situation. If I don't get any clients by then and I'm satisfied with your payment, then why not?”

"What if you'll fall for me before our contract ends?" I saw the reflection of a mischievous grin on his lips, how I wish to wipe that off his face with my fist.

"That will never happen. It is stated there in the contract that the employee is not allowed to like or fall for her client." 

He retracts his gaze from me towards the contract he was holding. He then look back up a lil' later. "What if it's the other way around? What if it's me who'd fall for you?"

That earned him a haughty laugh from me. I folded my arms and flick my tongue in great amusement. "Well, that is not anything new to me. With my sensationally jaw-droppin' physique, who wouldn't? In fact, most of my clients gone obsessed with me after and they're creeping the hell outta me! To sum it up, I'm that irresistible so equip your pretty bum for the fall, dude." I finished with one delicious smirk.

He winced as if I wounded his manliness.

"And oh, it's stated there in the contract that the client is not allowed to like his employee, so if you ever fall for me, let me know right away so I can end the contract between the two of us.” I seriously added before I stood up from the love seat sofa.

"I beg your pardon?"

"What I mean is that, even if you'd fall for me and made it known to everybody how you felt for me, I will never like you as much as you do." 

I’ll screw everything if ever I'll fall for my client, so as much as possible, I avoid getting attach and just play numb to any of them while working.

“Phew! That's a relief that you're professional enough to know your place. I'll sign this one and we're good.” he replied then signed the contract he's holding. 

He handed me the contract so I took it, scrutinizing every pages to see if he really did signed it. When I saw his name and signature on the left end of document, I turned to him with a smile.

"I love you, baby." I said playing coy.

It made him choked a little and coughed several times before looking back at me and asked. "Come again?" Still dumb-founded.

"I love you." I repeated.

He got up from his seat and furrowed his forehead as he walk towards me.

"W-What? Is there something wrong with what I said? I’m officially your girlfriend from now on, so it's normal for me to say those three lil' words." I said pushing him lightly, he's making me feel uncomfortable with his proximity. 

"Do you like me?" he asked me seriously which gotten me red handed.

"Are you for real? I'm just doing my job, nothing personal so don't sweat it."

"Just making sure—Anyways, there will be a party later at my friend's house. I would like you to come and—"

"Sorry, I'll be busy later." I interpose before heading to my room. I opened my drawer situated next to my pint-sized bed and hid the contract beneath my neatly folded clothes before going out coming face to face with Kalex.

"You just said that you would serve me as my contract girlfriend, but you are doing the exact opposite by cutting me off." Disappointment is evident on his face.

I walked back to the living room with him hot on my tail.

"Don't be silly Kalex. I just said my terms and conditions earlier. Didn't you get it? My service will last until 5pm and I told you to inform me firsthand so I could prepare." I said irritably feeling wretched that he didn't listen to what I was talking earlier.

"Fine!" he sat back down and folded his arms like a mulish tot. "There will be a party which will be held at my friend's house tonight, so I'll pick you up later so we can go together like a normal couple would. There, are you happy? I already informed you." full of sarcasm he said.

I huffed and rolled my eyes. What a futile excuse of a man.

"Get the hell outta here before I strangle you doofus.” I yanked his wrist and kick his sorry ass out of my apartment. "Let's just meet tomorrow, bye." I mop-up before slamming the goddamn door .

That man is going to be the death of me. Ugh!

I immediately asked Sean when he greeted me first thing, the time I stepped into the restaurant."Yeah, they just got here not long ago." he replied so I just step my pace up to somewhat regain my composure before meeting his parents."I'm sorry for making them wait.

They were now sitting in a luxurious seat and seemed to be waiting for our arrival."Hello, good evening."

I smiled to the counter attendant.I picked up the tray that contains the soup and carefully walk back to our table."Gosh! I just want to sleep and not get into the next subject." I heard Zaina muttered as she bent down and proceed to bang her head on the table for several times.She's going crazy.We are here in the cafeteria for an hour break. I laid the tray on the table and placed the soup in front of Zaina. "Here's your soup, 'Madame'." I said, emphasizing the word "madame".She stopped from what she was doing and then finally got up from her seat. "What's this?""Soup, obviously. What e

Zaina asked while I am busy fixing the laces of my shoes, she's doing the same thing as me.We are here in the locker room with the rest of our classmates to change into our PE uniform, so it's not surprising that every corner of this room was corrupted by an ear piercing noise made by them."Can you tie my hair?" I pleaded Zaina as I stood up and went straight to the full-length mirror like usual locker room would have."Obviously they like you and you don't have to ask them that. It's pretty obvious you know, except for Denver who almost bragged earlier that he was flirting with you. How whipped he can get lmao." I saw her reflection from the mirror. "What can you say?

I stated firmly to Denver, then grab him by the arm and dragged him out of the locker room.I still manage to get out even though it's a bit crowded inside because of the scene he created in there."Hey slow down! Are you planning to trip me over?" I heard him whining but I simply ignored it and just continue to drag him with me until we finally got out of the gym.Myriads of eyes were on us as we pass by and believe me dude, some are almost popping out of it's eye sockets. Goodness gracious they're bunch of prying creatures! Can't they just mind their goddamn business?

I don’t even know why I was on my out to see me at this hour when in fact I still had to sleep because my flight will be early tomorrow at five in the morning. I was still yawning while rubbing my eyes as I walk to the door."Gwyn! Gwyneth! Are you there?!" My yawning stopped and my eyes widened when I heard Kalex's loud voice. I immediately ran towards the door thinking that something might have happened to Jase."Kalex?" he was sweating and gasping as he put his hands on his knees to support himself. He's wearing his usual sleeping clothes, his jersey short and a white cotton shirt. "What are you doing here? Why are you gasping?""I ... took ... the ... stairs." He said as his chest is heaving from the gasps. It took me a second

"Where's Jase?""Upstairs. Sleeping." I replied before I took a sip from the glass of whiskey in my hand. I know he's waiting for me to start talking but I fucking don't know where to fucking start."It's about Gwyneth, isn't it?" He asked when I didn't say anything. My chest tightened by the mere sound of her name. I miss her. I miss calling out her name and how she smiles at me in the morning."She's ... she's leaving tomorrow." I said in a low voice as I remember what she said five days ago. I don't even know how long she'll be gone. I was afraid to ask.My mind went crazy by just the thought of her leaving with that fucker and all I ever said to her was that she doesn't need to worry ...

I was on my way down earlier when I ran into him and he asked me to have lunch with him."Jase is with Kalex now and I don't have anything to do because I've already made all the proposals for my next event. I just need to submit." I sighed.This has always been my problem ever since Kalex and I had an agreement. When Jase isn't by my side I can't do anything so I usually just read a book until I fall asleep. Everything's just boring whenever Jase's not at home.Quir and I decided to eat outside the company. Sometimes the food is also boring because the menu is almost always the same."So I was thinking, how about we go out tonight?" He asked as we eat at one of our favorite place near the hotel. It's delicious here in case there's majesty so we only eat here when new wages.

One of our officemates opened a bottle of wine to celebrate and gave me one. "Cheers to Gwyneth!"After months of preparing one of the biggest events of the year, I'm just so glad I finished the job.

I stared at him intently while calling the server to give him coffee.Short stubbles are starting to grow on his chin. There are bags under his eyes and his hair is too long. To some, I'm sure he looked fine, but I know him too well to see that he's not. That's not the Kalex I know. These past few days must've been hard for him.I was making it hard for him."What do you want to talk about?" He asked after his coffee was served in front of him. His eyes made its way to mine, but then he immediately looked away. To this day he still can’t look at me."I'll go straight to the point." He nodded as he mixed his coffee. "I heard you ... at the bar. I heard what you said to Demitri." That made him look at me.His eyes are full of guilt that confirmed that everything I

Said a man approaching us. He seems to be the driver of the car. He helped us stand up. "I really didn't see you." The man approached me. "Are you hurt? Should I bring you two to the hospital?""No. We're fine." Quir replied with a smile and then they talked. He glanced at me before shaking hands with the driver who said goodbye."So, what are you doing here besides killing yourself?" He joked. I was embarrassed to close my eyes because of his question."I haven't seen it." Is this man like everyone who sees me like this? I looked up at him when he chuckled. Since Quir is much taller than me he put his hands on top of my head and beamed at me."Let's get some

I know others here know me because I was once Kalex’s high school friend. Maybe that’s also the reason why some of them were staring at me.I just ignored them because I have nothing to do with them anyway. I came here because of Kalex and they weren’t my goal. I also hate people looking at me, as if spotlight was pointing at me as of this moment. It looks like I’ll be their topic once I turned my back at them. These dumb as* has really nothing to do instead of focusing on their work. Tch.While walking to Kalex’s office I came across a kid chasing a ball. He was running and not looking to where he's going so I tried to avoid but he still collided with me, causing him to fall to the floor. Awts. His back must be hurt.“A
