2024-10-29 19:42:56Daphne noticed that he was ending his meeting with the woman when he stood up and shook hands with her.
Daphne quickly stood and hurried out of the restaurant.She decided to wait for him at the front of the restaurant.
Soon,he walked out of the restaurant with the woman by his side.She overheard a brief conversation between them and realized that the woman was his client.
Griffin and the woman walked out of the restaurant,Daphne took note of how beautiful and extremely sexy the woman was.
Griffin’s gaze fell on Daphne for a brief moment and then he looked away,pretending not to know her.
He shook hands with the woman again and bid her farewell.
The woman smiled at him,seductively.
“Thank you so much,Mr Reyes.I never thought it’d so easy to get those assets in my name.Thank you for making this divorce process easy for me.”
Griffin offered a small smile.”It’s what I do.”
“Em…if you don’t mind,I’ll like to treat you to dinner for putting my ex-husband in his place.”
Daphne walked closer to them,hoping for an audience with Griffin.
“I have plans for tonight.”He refused the woman,flatly.
“I didn’t say tonight.”She pressed on.
“Well,I have plans for whatever night you mean.”
Daphne frowned at him,finding that rude and funny at the same time.
How can he blatantly refuse a stunning woman like her?
The woman beamed at him,bid him goodbye and walked away.
Griffin finally turned to face Daphne.
“Miss Howard,are you stalking me now?Did you perhaps change your mind about sleeping with me?
Daphne froze.
Seriously?
Did he really think she came here for sex?
She awkwardly brought out a bag and handed it to him.
“I came to return your jacket.”
He grimaced and then nodded.
“I see.”Griffin drawled and headed off towards the parking lot.
Daphne quickly hurried after him.
“Mr Reyes,I have something to discuss with you.”
He narrowed his eyes at her,inquisitively.
“My dad was…”
“I’m not taking his case.”He cut in,flatly.
Daphne sighed,heavily.
It seemed Griffin already knew about her father’s issue.
She lowered her head and asked,tentatively.
“Did Jacob tell you not to take the case as well?”
Griffin stared at her as if he had been slapped.
“Who is Jacob to tell me which case to take or not?I personally do not want to take up your father’s case.”
“Why?I can afford your services,I promise.”Daphne pressed on.
She had a lot of savings.She was sure she could pay whatever fees he charges.
He glanced down at her.”Miss Howard,you and I almost had sex,that means I’ve known you a bit on a personal level and I do not mix my personal life with my work.”
The truth was,he was scared of working with her.
He just couldn’t understand it.
Ever since that night at the club,all he’s ever thought about was bedding her.
So he could never have her as a client.He would not sacrifice his principles of strictly being professional with clients.
He got to his car and opened the door,shoving the jacket and his briefcase on the passenger’s seat.
He glanced at Daphne and said,harshly.
“Find another lawyer.”
Then he got into the car and drove off,leaving her standing there.
Daphne sighed,heavily.
What should she do now?
***********
The next couple of days were filled with worry for Nora and Daphne and then,Daphne gave in to the urge to ask for help from one of her closest friends.
Layla Dumont.
Layla had married a rich and influential man and Daphne felt she could use his help in getting a lawyer.
The two friends met up at a restaurant and Daphne explained all that had happened with Jacob to Layla.
“How could he do that to you?He’s such a selfish bastard.”Layla cussed.”The nerves of him!To want you as his mistress!”Layla continued to cursed Jacob,angrily.
And when she finally calmed down,she asked,quietly.
“Did you really get Griffin to get a hotel room with you?”
Daphne’s cheeks flamed and she nodded.
“Wow,what the hell did you do to him,girl?How did you do it?”Layla cooed.
“I did nothing much.He was on a mask and I just drunkly suggested we spend the night together.Oh Layla,I had wanted the ground to open up and swallow me when I found out who he was.”
Layla laughed.”You know I heard he’s hardly ever fazed by a woman,even celebrities always fail to capture his attention.People had started gossiping that he might not be attracted to women.”
Daphne sighed,heavily.
She really didn’t want to talk about that night anymore.
She just wanted solution to her father’s problem.
“Layla,about getting a lawyer,I really need your help.I have no idea how much Jacob had paid lots of lawyers to keep turning me down.He really wants me at the palm of his hand.”
“He’s not going to succeed!”Layla declared.”But I really think Griffin should take up this case.Trust me when I say that he has never lost a case.If he takes up your father’s case,there’s a hundred percent chance that your dad will regain his freedom.”
“But he doesn’t want to help.”Daphne pouted.
Layla placed her hand above Daphne’s.
“Don’t give up.You should try harder.And I’m going to help you.I’m going to help you make him take up this case.”
She suggested Daphne approaches Griffin more and more until he accepts.And using her connection,she found out Griffin’s schedules.
*************
It was a Saturday,Griffin had a horse riding appointment with some business associates at his ranch at noon.
Daphne went to the Ranch with Layla and her husband but to her greatest surprise,Jacob was also at the Ranch.

Daphne felt so uncomfortable by Jacob’s presence.Layla pinched her husband’s arm hard and whined.“Why didn’t you tell us that Jacob would also be here?This will make it hard for Daphne to ask for Griffin’s help.”Layla’s husband apologized,profusely.”I’m sorry,babe.I didn’t know.I swear.”Before Daphne could think of turning away,Griffin already caught sight of her.She swallowed seeing him dressed in a hat,an expensive looking shirt,a pair of breeches and black boots.He looked so rich and handsome.He was so tall that he stood out among the crowd.He walked up to them and suddenly pretended not to know Daphne.He only greeted Layla and her husband.Griffin stole a secret glance at Daphne.She had such smooth,supple skin,and she had worn clothes that highlighted her good figure.The tight fitting white T-shirt made her look energetic,while her light grey shorts showcased her perfect long legs.Her long,wavy brown hair was tied in a neat bun,which added to her charm.Griffin glanced at

Daphne panted as she stared at the big and muscular form of Jacob.She was no match for him but she couldn’t let him do whatever he wanted with her in here.So she darted for the locked door but he grabbed her and pushed her against the wall again.“Let go of me!”She thundered,pushing him away with all her might.“What the hell do you think you’re doing?Going after Griffin?Making him teach you how to ride a horse?Do you seriously think he’d want you in his bed?!Where the hell did you get the nerves from to go after a man like him?You barely ever responded to my touches and now you want him?!”Daphne glared at him.What was he getting angry about?If it wasn’t because of him,she wouldn’t be after Griffin right now,trying to get him to take her father’s case.She glared at him and snapped.”This is none of your business!”Jacob eyed her.”I know what you’re trying to do.You’re trying to make me jealous.You’re trying to get my attention by being around Griffin.”Daphne shut her eyes,briefl

Griffin was quiet for a few minutes.If he was surprised by what she had just said,he didn’t show it.And then finally,he asked.”Do you only want to have sex with me because of your father?“Daphne swallowed,not knowing how to reply to that.She knew that deep down, she was physically attracted to him but she didn’t want to admit to it.Her cheeks heated even more and she stared at her fingers.Griffin finished off his cigarette just as the traffic light turned green.But he didn’t move.Instead,he pulled over at the side of the road.Daphne looked at him in confusion,but before she could ask why,he unbuckled her seatbelt.She gasped when he pulled her up from the passenger’s seat and made her sit on his laps,fitting her thighs on the either side of him.She swallowed when he took off the coat from her body.Her wet clothes clung to her skin,outlining all her curves,his trousers got wet because she was sitting on top of him.The winds outside the car howled loudly.The windshield wipers rh

Griffin thought it wasn’t necessary to tell his mother that Daphne was Jacob’s ex.Afterall,he was only interested in sleeping with Daphne.There was nothing more to it.After sending his mother off,Griffin returned to the transfusion room where Daphne was sitting in a daze.He felt his trousers growing tighter and that made his teeth clenched.Damn it!Even while she looked so pale and sick, she still managed to get him so aroused.He adjusted himself,discreetly and sat beside Daphne,putting on an aloof look.“How long do you have to stay here?”He asked,coldly.Daphne wasn’t expecting that he would really come back to be with her.She didn’t want to think too much about it so she replied.“The doctor said I have one more bag of drip left.And then I’ll be discharged.”Griffin didn’t say anything anymore.He brought out his cellphone and tried to get busy with work to distract himself from the beauty beside him.Daphne sat there feeling uncomfortable by the awkward silence but she didn’

Daphne left his house,dejectedly.But she didn’t go home immediately.She didn’t want Nora to see the sad look on her face.She wanted to get rid of the look before she goes home.Night fell and Daphne walked down the street alone.The Ferris wheel in a theme park came to life with colorful light.From a distance,she could see the silhouette of a young couple hugging and kissing under the Ferris wheel.She stopped and looked at the romantic scene,quietly.She had always longed for romance in her life.And then she realized Jacob rarely took her out on dates.He was always too busy to take her out.She recalled the exciting way her body responds to Griffin.It was the first time in her life that her body was responding to a man like that but she couldn’t be with Griffin either.He wasn’t even interested in her to take the risk and be with him.She sniffed as tears fell from her eyes.Would she ever love and be loved in return for all the right reasons?Would she be loved like the beautiful

Seeing them entering the restaurant,Daphne quickly covered her face with the menu and cursed at her bad luck.But Asher,oblivious of her panic,called out to his friend.“Yo!Jacob!”Jacob grinned and was about to say hello but then his eyes fell on the girl sitting across Asher,the menu was doing so little to cover her face.His smile disappeared.Frowning,he walked up to Asher’s table.“What are you two doing here?”He asked,unable to hide his annoyance at the fact that Daphne was having dinner with another man.“My father is helping Daphne with a case.We met by chance at the front of his office and I offered to treat her to dinner.”Asher explained.Hearing this,Jacob’s expression darkened even more.He knew that Asher had a fondness for Daphne.“Why would you offer to treat her to dinner?Everyone knows you rarely take women out.”Jacob sneered.Lucia who has been standing beside Jacob the whole time felt uncomfortable by his mood.“Jacob,do you know this woman?”She asked,tentatively.As

Griffin’s car pulled up to a stop at the front of the Thai restaurant so Jacob could get his car.Jacob got out the car and thanked Griffin,politely.The two men exchanged meaningful glances.Griffin pulled away slowly but Lucia quickly climbed onto the passenger’s seat from the back seat.“This is a moving car.You should be more careful.”Griffin scolded his sister.She stuck out her tongue playfully at him and fastened her seatbelt.All of a sudden,her eyes lit up mischievously.“That woman at the restaurant,you know…Asher’s partner.We didn’t talk much but I got to know that her name is Daphne…she’s so beautiful and sexy.”Griffin swallowed, discreetly and rolled down the window.For some reason,he started to feel hot.But Lucia was oblivious of that and continued talking.“I almost thought that there was something fishy about her and Jacob but thankfully,she’s Asher’s girl so I don’t have to worry about her.”Griffin didn’t say anything and kept his eyes on the road.After a long tim

Griffin didn't say any more and led her inside.The entire French restaurant he had reserved, probably because he wanted a quiet space to talk, but Daphne was stressed instead, and as she sat down to order, she whispered, "There's no need to break the bank like this!"Griffin didn't care what he ate, it was up to her.He took a small sip of his pre-dinner wine in his hand and smiled slightly, "Daphne, we've been good for so long, but there don't seem to be many private dates like this one, this place is quite nice, let's come here more often from now on?"Daphne ordered two set meals.After she thanked the waiter, she looked over at Griffin, who was leaning back in his chair and watching her.He does have a nice looking face!Under the luxurious crystal, he was more radiant than the lights.Daphne drank a mouthful of white water and opened her mouth in a hard voice: "The matter of Roscoe and Layla, I would like to ask you to do it."Griffin put down the cup in his hands, long fingers
