DANIEL'S POVMax and I entered into our favourite weekend diner. We've been visiting this place for over a year now since we discovered it. One reason is they cook nice homemade meals. But my worries isn't about food, it was about the lie I told my grandma, she's been calling me over a week asking when she will meet my girlfriend and i kept on lying that she was still out of the state, but my grandma even says since my girlfriend couldn't come, we should fly over to meet her.I told Max my predicament and he only laughed at me. In his words, why lie to NaNa? I did it because I was tired of her calling me up to go on blind dates with girls I don't find interesting, and worse guys, she very well knows I'm straight.Max had suggested I hire an actress to play as my girlfriend to NaNa, but NaNa would know immediately she walked in, she was an actress during her younger days.We sat on a seat on the diner when my secretary Lilith sent me an email, that a client had rescheduled our meeting
CHARLOTTE'S POV"Call him already!!!" Anika, my best friend shouted, today is Saturday, a day after I quit working, unlike how people in the TV act when they quit a job, they wake up late, get to do their exercises and work out, they meet new people, no, I didn't wake up late, I woke up to the thought of how I was going to get the bills paid, and I'm already two months due on my rent, not to mention, my mother and her constant need for money. I picked up my phone and called the one person who could understand me, and that's Anika. We've been besties since highschool and even as she's married with two kids, Laila who turned three, two weeks ago, and six months old baby Neyo, she still made time for me.After I told her everything that happened last night, she was so mad that she said,"You could have called me, I would have pulled up there with a baseball bat and beat the shit out of that bastard" I knew she always got my back, I told her about the offer by Daniel Lee and she wanted
CHARLOTTE'S POV"So let me get this straight, he offered to give you fifty grand to date him?, Huh?"Anika asked, but I shook my head"Not to date him, to be his pretend girlfriend" I corrected, sipping my coffee.After the events of yesterday, I called Anika, and she quickly came with baby Neyo, who was teething and very cranky and hadn't have enough sleep,lil dude was crying so bad, Anika felt like crying too, but after I held and petted him for a while, he's been sleeping for over thirty minutes, Anika always said I had my magic with babies, but I'll say they just love me."And you refused!!" She scolded with wide eyes, almost shouting,"Shh .. you'll wake Neyo up, and yes I refused, he was trying to buy me" I replied with a roll of my eyes.And he body shamed me, I mused, there was no need to tell her that, I knew he never meant it but I couldn't help but feel that way, I knew this was going to be Anika's reaction, she wouldn't try to be reasonable when it comes to money."You re
DANIEL'S POVThe ring of the phone was loud enough to wake up the dead, in this case, it was loud enough for me to answer, right in the middle of an important meeting with my board members, "Hello NaNa"It was my grandma, and gods be damned, if I didn't answer, I would see a flying eighty four year old woman kicking my boardroom open, and I don't want that to repeat itself."Daniel, I've been trying to reach you all day"."I'm sorry NaNa, I've been busy with work"."You're always busy, you don't even have time for me" a lazy smile escaped my lips as I could envision her rolling her eyes and pouting her lips as a child.NaNa Janice Lee was one woman I couldn't contend with, at eighty five she's still as strong as a bull, but last month she had a hip replacement and I have been a bit protective, I even hired the best nurses to look after her and a doctor on standby. I dismissed the board members, they probably would be happy as this meeting has been on for over two hours."NaNa, I p

CHARLOTTE'S POV"Lottie, table number twelve needs a refill for their drinks" Andrew, the manager on shift called out to me.I blinked up at him, wondering if he didn't see the trays of food I had for a different table"I'll head over there now" I replied, I've been working my ass off this shift as the other two waitresses who had same shift with me are in the back chatting with the new hot bartender."Good" I served the couples I had their food order and smiled sweetly at them, I walked over to table number twelve which honestly I didn't want to go, I've worked for Cosbow for two years now and honestly the pay is nice and since the restaurant was located in the heart of Manhattan, we mostly have customers that are cleaner and better dressed since most of them worked white collared jobs in the companies around the restaurant, and again they tipped better, but sometimes you can meet some condescending and crudest people who looked down on our Jobs.Today, it happens to be the guys se
