“What is the offer about?" I asked him, curious to know more.

“Relax, princess!” He said, and I got irritated by his repeated use of princess.

“Alright! Let's get this straight! Ain't no princess! So I will appreciate it if you don't call me that again” I said, frowning my face.

“As you wish, SexyRed!” He said, raising his hands up as a sign of surrender.

“Alright, what is your offer?”

“Well…my friend's business is in need of an assistant and I would like you to work with him” He said, carefully weighing each words. Leaning towards me a little bit, he paused to hear my response.

“Why me? And what kind of business do your friend operate?”

“First of all, it's a legit company, not some kind of mafia business or that kind, so relax. Secondly, you don't belong here, SexyRed! I have been here twice, and I have watched how well coordinated you are! You are smart and intelligent and it's a waste here. If you work for him, your pay is attractive and accomodation is also guaranteed” He said a

    "Nah, girlfriend! This one is actually crazier than me, Sande!” I said, while carefully wiping my face with a face cleanser. “Really? So tell me, what makes him crazy? Oh! Don't tell me he demanded a threesome?” She asked, looking alarmed at her own question, and I couldn't hold back my laughter. “Nope, girl! He actually offered me a job” “He did? What kind of job offer?” She said with a hint of exticement. “As an office assistant , or personal secretary, I guess!” I said, putting on my clothes. “Wow! This is a great opportunity for you, Alex! But is it a company or?” She asked with more excitement now. “He mentioned the Blackwood's Corporation! Have you heard of that company before?” I turned to look at her, and was surprised to see her eyes widen in disbelief. “Blackwood's Corporation? My goodness! How did you get in contact with them? Please tell me you are joking, Alex!” She said, trying to hold back the excitement from getting over her. “It's fake, or shady, right? I kne

    CHESTER BLACKWOOD POV “Who were you talking to?” Daniel asked me the moment we walked out of the club. “Nobody, man!” I said, try to be careful with my words this time around. “But I saw you coming out of a room a few seconds ago!" He insisted, and I sigh softly. Seems nothing can escape his eyes when it comes to me. “Went in there to cool off” “With her, right” He said with a grin and I turned to look at him. “With who?” I said, trying to look confused at his words. “With the striper of course! Have you been here before?” He said with an amused smile. “Yeah, just once though! This is my second time” I said, already walking towards the parked car. “Where are you going?”, he asked and turned to stare at him, puzzled at his question. “Back to the hotel of course” I replied wondering what he is up to this time around. “Nah! Come on, Chester! It's too early! Come on, let me properly introduce you to my cousin” He said, already standing close to me. “But, I have seen the jerk

    “Dude, you are awfully quiet! You are sure nothing is wrong?” Daniel turns to look at me after a while. “Nothing, man! I'm alright!” I replied with a smile. “Hey, Marcus! Don't you have any hotties here in the club?” Daniel turns to ask him. “Have got plenty of them! Should I bring them for ya?" He said, a little bit tipsy. "I have one, though she is very special! And she fucks like hell! Man, she is a pro when it comes to sex!” He continued talking and it was already getting on my nerves. Tightening my fist secretly, I tried hard not to hit his silly mouth. “How dare he describe my woman that way? Down down Chester, she isn't your girl yet! But it's the hard truth though! She literally fucks like a pro!” I said inwardly. “Really? Have you fucked her before?” Daniel asked, with such curiosity that irritates me. “Point of correction, dude! You don't fuck her, rather you get fucked by her! And I haven't got the chance to get laid by her!” He said, laughing loudly. “Wow! Sounds

    Quickly I pulled out some dollars from my wallet, placed it on top of the bed with a little note. My plans have been ruined again. I initially wanted to take her along with me after getting a positive response from her. But then, I was unsure if she is going to give me a positive response seeing she is someone I am yet to fully understand. She is originally more steps ahead of my normal flirting games, and for the first time in my life, I am actually afraid of getting rejected by a woman. I was about to close the door when I heard the bathroom door opening but I wasn't intending to explain myself to her. The little note I leave behind will do justice to that. Bringing out my phone, I put a call across Daniel but the dude wasn't picking up. He is probably engaged in his threesome with his hotties. “I will call him tomorrow” I resolved in my mind. I hate being disturbed when fucking someone, and I ain't about to do that to him. “Back to the hotel!” I said on getting closer to the

    “I knew she was up to no good! What Damned baby is she talking about? I have never fucked her without a condom, so who owns the growing baby? I need to put her in her place before she grows more wings!” I said while pulling off my shoes. Soon, I entered the bathroom to shower and heard my phone ringing. Coming out of the bathroom still covered in soap, I hurry towards the ringing phone only to see Daniel's caller's ID staring back at me. Feeling disappointed, I answered the call. “Man, you left without letting me know? That is not fair bro!" He said a little bit annoyed. "Calm down, Daniel! Didn't you see my missed calls? You were probably hooked on your threesome when I called you!” I said and he smirked. “I sure did though! But why the rush back home?" "Check the news and see why! I need to sort it out quickly” “Alright, dude! Let me know if I can help in any way, you are my man, Chester!” He said sincerely. Maybe you can help me with this!” I said grinning. “What is that,

    ALEXANDRIA POV “Alex, Alexandria! Come take a look at this!” Sande hurried towards my seat immediately after the lecture ended. “What is it all about?” I said, not interested, and secretly hoping it is not about her recent whining about Murphy's job offer.“Take a look at it yourself, block your head!” She said, on seeing the tired look on my face.“Breaking News! The prestigious Blackwood's Corporation has in today's press conference announced a vacancy for the position of a personal secretary to the CEO himself. All interested candidates are advised to visit the company's website for more details!” I read the headlines with almost a million views, silently on her tabloid. Almost at once, loud and excited whimpering broke out among the ladies in the lecture hall. It was all centered on the same job application.“Alexandria, this is your last chance! Murphy won't wait for you forever, girlfriend!” She said, and I whined inwardly, completely exhausted at the rising bills waiting to b

    “Oh, hmm…I am still interested in the job offer!” She said and I couldn't hold back my smile anymore. Andrus was still looking at me. “Please, give me a minute, I will get back to you!” I said and then hung up. “Sir, is anything the matter?" Andrus said, with curiosity in his eyes. “Is there something else you want to inform me about?” I glare at him and he quickly composes him. “Yes, sir! This is the file of legal team B, concerning the industrial park project” He said, before placing it on my desk. “I will go through it” I said and he walked away murmuring to himself but I heard it. “Boss, act strange all the time. A minute he is happy, another minute he is angry! Who can understand him better?" He mumbled and I was not surprised to hear him describe me like that. In this world, especially the cruel business world, you must not show any weaknesses because it will be used against you!.

    I fell in love with the simple, yet elegant decorations. It made me feel a little bit at home.Ten minutes later, I was done. You look beautiful, ma'am!” Selena said after putting the final touch to my clipped bun-hairstyle.“Thank you!” I said while staring at the sea blue eyes gazing back at me from the dressing mirror. The emerald necklace compliment the black color off-shoulder styled lengthy gown. Suddenly someone knocked gently on the closed door.“Yes!” Quickly Selena went to check out the reason for the knock. Opening, and closing back the door swiftly, I couldn't tell who the person was.“Ma'am, It's time!” She rushed towards me while I stood up slowly. Holding my black color clutch sized purse, we both went downstairs, where he was already waiting for me.“I thought I said twenty minutes?” He said while checking his wristwatch, the moment he saw me. “Sorry I'm… .. late!” I paused on my words on seeing him dressed up in a simple white color totem-neck styled long sleeve swe

    “What?” I said, deeply embarrassed with his stare. “You love it so much?” “You can say that again!” I said before chewing on the noddles with chopsticks, no longer embarrassed of his silent stares, and smug smile. He can go on watching me without eating, while I finish off everything. Murphy did informed him well about my favorite dishes. Eating more of the noddles, and pork meat, I suddenly saw something shinny inside the broth of the noddles. Curiously, i picked it up with the chopsticks. On seeing what it is, a loud gasps unconsciously escaped from my mouth. “I know it's not a proper marriage, but what is worth doing, is worth doing! Will you do me the honor of being my contract wife?” He said, already on his knees, staring intensely at my eyes, and I went mute unsure of what to say or how to respond to his crazy question. “Despite my traumatic past, yet I have always secretly hoped and dreamed about the day of being proposed to by a man that loves me.

    “I know it is possible for million of people to have the same eyes color, but how can they feel the same? The hidden warmth, and kindness behind the cold aura emitting from him, just like Murphy's” I thought inwardly while his eyes keeps trying draw me in, to trap me, and make me one with him. “Are you done?” He suddenly asked, and I jolt out of my thoughts. Swallowing my saliva back, I shifted uncomfortably in the seat before releasing the seat belt. “Yeah! Can we go in now?” I said, looking away from his face, feeling embarrassed. “Right after you, Milady!” He said with a soft chuckle, and I paused on my track. “Is there something you are not telling me?” I turned to look at him. “Humm…Something like what?” He asked, I saw those hints of fear in his eyes again. “I don't know! Maybe you should tell me about it!” I watched him nervously rubbing his palm against each other vigorously. “Tell you what, Alexis?” Listen dear, I am not hiding anything from you, okay!

    “And why is that?" She interrupted , frowning her face. "Because you are the wife, and hence I won't want eyes on your reputation as well as that of my family’s?" "Oh! I get it! Well, honestly, isn't fair!” She said, but I choose to ignore it. “The fifth one, I like I said, no flirting with the opposite gender as a married woman, and don't expect any form of intimacy from me!” I said, and she breathes out softly. “I have a condition too!" "Go on please!” “I won't be working with you at the company! And can we live separately?” She asked, and I frowned at the last part. “How do you intend to make it look real to the outside world if we were to be living separately? As the wife of a famous billionaire, all eyes especially the media eyes will be on you, finding faults from all angles!” I explained, and she breathes out softly, again. “I am smarter than she is!
