"Get dressed in the outfit I placed on your bed, you are on duty," Camila announced without even allowing Grace to take off her shoes as soon as she walked into the flat.Penny was reading a novel and Grace was relieved to know that Camila handled her discharge from the hospital, but at the same time, she was aware that it was only another chain Camila had on she and her sister."Why? Is this how things are going to be henceforth?" Grace frowned."What are you talking about? Go get dressed, we don't want to keep your client waiting.""You should have checked with me first if I'm interested in entertaining anyone. Springing all this on me all of a sudden is making this look like I have no choice at all, but to comply."Penny got up from the couch, abandoning her novel to stand beside her sister, showing her support."Have you lost your mind or perhaps forgotten your place? You have absolutely no choice in all of this. You are under a contract in my agency and I have the right to ask yo
"So what's the occasion today? Forgive me if I sound rude, but I had the feeling that you never wanted to see me again after the last time. You practically threw me out of your car," Grace frowned."I'm sorry about that, I really shouldn't have behaved that way, especially not after you did such a great job at convincing everyone we were dating," Enrique apologized, looking straight into her ice grey orbs.He found himself appreciating her beauty more this night. The other time, her face had been partly covered by a mask. The mask had concealed just how beautiful she was.Her makeup was flawless, her eyes were big and shining bright as she stared at him. Her lips were so full and captivating. He found himself wondering what it would feel like covering those plump lips with his.Shaking his head, he forced himself to stop having such dirty thoughts and said, "it's my cooking show's fifth year anniversary. We are celebrating a hundred episodes of cooking good food and teaching our viewe
"Care to explain how exactly it is that you are dating an employee of mine all of a sudden, Miguel," Enrique queried."It's a long story," Janet replied."Let me summarize it. My parents set us up on a blind date a month ago. We found out that we had common interests and Janet is exactly the kind of woman I need in my life right now. We've been in touch even though I was away for a week. We are taking things slowly for now," Miguel added, kissing Janet's cheek.Grace couldn't believe what was happening in front of her. Of course, Janet had told her about a new boyfriend of hers, but she had never expected to meet Janet and the said boyfriend while she was disguised as someone else. Janet Morgan on the other hand, kept staring at Grace strangely as though she was suspicious of her identity. "Wow, that's impressive. I'm a bit mad at Miguel for not telling me about this, but I'm happy for you both," Enrique said."That was just the shortest summary of how our relationship started. We to
"I don't know what you're talking about," Grace countered."You don't know? I can't believe this, why are you trying to dispute my claim? You are Grace Jones, don't you think I know you well enough to recognize you despite whatever form of disguise you take on?" Janet snapped."I'm sorry Janet, but I have a very valid reason for this, I just can't explain to you yet. Can you just keep this between us?" Grace pleaded."I just don't understand, why do you have to pretend to be someone else. Is your name Grace Jones, after all?""Yes, it is. I'm so sorry, Ms Morgan," Grace said."Ms Morgan? I should have understood that we weren't friends, but I was foolish enough to think we were. You still refer to me so formally, Grace and we are not even at work. Do you know why I didn't expose you to Enrique?"Grace blinked back her tears, she felt like a total fraud. It was obvious that Janet's encounter with her tonight was going to cause a friction between them."It's because I was confident that
"What new job?" Grace frowned at Enrique, wondering what exactly was going through his mind.No matter how tempting whatever job he had for her was, she had to refuse. She couldn't keep being around him while acting as Lila, he could easily figure out who she was just like Janet did.As long as she had already taken the job as his PA at work, it would mean Enrique would have more time to observe her and probably figure out the similarities between she and Lila."I want you to be my girlfriend," Enrique said."What?" Grace gasped.What was happening, she had no intention of dating someone as rude and annoying as Enrique Black, why the hell was he asking to date her?"I don't want to be your girlfriend," she replied."Do not flatter yourself, I have no interest in someone who works as an escort. It will be a contracted relationship. You will only do the things required for a girlfriend to do when we are in public. I kissed you because I wanted to know if you could do a good job at convi
"Ms— I mean Janet, please could you come to the entrance for a moment?" Grace pleaded as soon as Janet answered the phone."What is it, Lila or is it Grace?" Janet snapped.Grace knew that Janet had every right to be mad at her, but she was the only one who could help her get access into the building. "I'm really sorry about everything, Janet, but I'm in a fix right now, please I need your job or Mr Black will have me fired," Grace pleaded."I'm on my way," Janet said before hanging up.A few minutes later, Grace saw Janet walking up to her. She was dressed smartly in a pink business suit that enhanced he slim, feminine figure.Her long blonde hair was pack in a tight bun and her face was set in a frown when she came to stand in front of Grace."What are you doing, standing here like this?" She queried."I left my ID at home, so I can't get into the company.""Really? How could you forget it? Today is your first day as Mr Black's assistant and you are going to be late. It's already f
"Hi, Ms Jones. What are you doing, standing outside? Did you come out for some coffee?" Mr Bright asked as he came up to the entrance where Grace stood.Grace turned sharply at the sound of his voice. Her entire face lit up like a Christmas tree as she saw Me Bright. He was always coming to her rescue whenever she needed help."Yes, Mr Black needed some coffee and asked me to get it from Stella's.""Why are you waiting outside after getting it, then?""I forgot my employee ID at home while rushing to work. I don't have access into the building without it," Grace explained, feeling so stupid at having forgotten her ID."That isn't a problem, why didn't you call me? I would have gotten you a replacement. How were you able to get in before?""Ms Morgan allowed me in.""Let's go in, I'm sure Mr Black doesn't take cold coffee," Mr Bright smiled.Grace followed behind him and when they got into the reception hall, she said, "I'm so sorry Sir, but I have to rush up now. See you later."Mr Br
Penny had stopped by at Tanner's to drop Grace's ID and also join them for lunch. Grace and Janet had just waved Penny goodbye, watching her taxi drive off when Janet asked, "why do you and your sister use mobile phones. Don't you like the convenience that comes with smartphones? I've noticed that you're always using this outdated phone with no camera, but I had thought it was simply your choice. After seeing Penny with the same phone, I knew something must be wrong.""I like it, it works just fine. I mean I used it to call you and Penny, didn't I?" Grace replied avoiding Janet's suspicious gaze."Why don't we get you and Penny smartphones? What do you say?" Janet smiled.Grace looked up at her nervously, thinking of what Camila was going to do if she ever found Grace or Penny with a smartphone."It's not necessary, we are very old fashioned. I like the mobile phone as it is. I don't take pictures and I don't use the internet, so it's not necessary," Grace replied.They got into the c
