THE TYCOON'S HIRED LOVE CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX
Grace was just about to call Penny to bring one of her suits to Howard Tech when she remembered Penny had an interview with her editor that morning.She realized that she had no other choice, but to look for a suit in the nearest boutique. Just as she was about to enter the elevator to go down, the doors opened to reveal Giselle and Grace sighed in frustration.Once she was inside and the elevator was moving, Giselle asked, "what happened to your designer suits? I thought you had a new one for every single day.""I don't think my choice of outfit is any of your business," Grace snapped."You seem to have got yourself a backbone, I have a feeling I prefer the Grace Jones of before," Giselle frowned."Can you just leave me alone?""I'm sure you must have watched The Cook Room, you should know that Mr Black is way out of your league. His new girlfriend is what you dream of becoming," Giselle said."What I dream of becoming? I think you're speaking for yourself, excuse me," Grace said, le

"I'm looking forward to working with you, Mr Black," Mr Chan, a slim, tall and lanky Chinese man said, shaking Enrique's hand.Throughout that week, they had been very busy, working on the business proposals to merge one of The Black family's most famous restaurant in Beijing.Mr Chan was an incredibly influential businessman based in Beijing. His traditional and outdated way of doing things made it impossible for Enrique to wrap up the deal as quickly as he normally would.Grace had been working like a dog during the last four days, Enrique had become much more irritable at the slightest opportunity. There was always an issue with the drafts she made and then he would have her redo the entire thing once again.Luckily for her, she always had Mr Bradley's help with the numerous tasks she had to handle. Enrique had fired a number of staff from the offices and restaurants he had in the city. Grace had been shocked to witness his ruthless side, firsthand.She couldn't help, but feel wor

Swiping the room card across the lock, Grace rushed into the suite, looking around anxiously for any sign of a break in.On her way there, she had imagined a number of scenarios where a bugler got in and attacked Enrique, leaving him unable to finish the call or answer the ones she had put through."Mr Black? Mr Black, are you alright?" She yelled from the living room.With no response from him, she walked into the bedroom, still with no sight of Enrique around. "Mr Black, are you in the bathroom? If you're there, can you just make a sound, so I can know you're alright?"She still got no response and was forced to say, "I'm going to walk in under five seconds, Sir. I need to make sure you're alright, okay?"Just as she was about to begin counting, she heard a faint, "I'm in the shower," from inside the bathroom.Enrique usually spoke in his rich, deep, Spanish accented voice, but oddly his voice just now sounded low and very much unlike him."I don't hear the sound of the shower, thou

Throughout the flight in Enrique's private jet back to New York, Grace didn't speak to him except he asked her a question."Ms Jones," he called when they arrived at the airport and got into the car waiting for them.She turned in her seat to look at him. He was of course, immaculately dressed in a charcoal black business suit with his jet-black hair styled just perfectly atop his head.Enrique looked so intimidating with the cold stare in his hazel green eyes. Grace replied, "yes Sir?""Whatever happened between us in my suite should stay between us. I wouldn't hesitate to have you fired and ensure that you never secure a job elsewhere if an article about us is published," he threatened."Don't you think you should be apologizing for sexually harassing me like that, Sir? You kissed me without my consent and you're making it seem like I had you set up. I won't be foolish enough to post anything about us, because contrary to what you might think, I have a boyfriend," Grace bragged.She

"You can stop the car here, Sir," Grace said when they reached her former neighborhood. There was no way she could have given Enrique her new address at the house he got for she and Penny. As Enrique had promised, he had bought her a new collection of business attires.He had wanted to get about twenty different suits, but Grace had insisted that ten was just enough."Why don't we just stop you directly at your house? Wouldn't you have to walk there if you stopped here?" Enrique frowned."It's alright, Sir. I have some errands to run," Grace said, unclipping her seatbelt."Okay, then. Have some roses delivered to Lila's address, I'm heading to her place now," Enrique said."Of course, Sir. I mean, Enrique," Grace said and rushed out of the car with the shopping bags.The chauffeur took out her luggage and she waved them both goodbye. Once she was sure they were out of sight, she quickly hailed a cab and told the driver her address.She had to get to the house before Enrique did and al

It was another Saturday and Grace was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing. She groaned and felt her hand across the bedside table to pick it up.Without bothering to check the caller information, Grace answered the call with, "hello, good morning.""Spare me those foolish greetings, what is it that's wrong with you?" Came Camila's husky voice."What is it?" Grace frowned.She wondered how it was possible for her to start her day with another of Camila's nagging."Why haven't you got the money I asked you to get from Enrique? You are being very stupid and you need to know that. You already have the man wrapped around your little finger, so why the hell is it so difficult for you to get money from him. He's a fucking billionaire for God's sake!" Camila yelled."I understand, Camila. I'll get the money," Grace sighed."You had better get it before tomorrow," Camila warned and the line went dead.Grace got up from her bed and groaned. Since the day Enrique celebrated Grace's birthday

"This is lovely, how did you organize all this?" Grace asked Enrique, pointing at the tent, pretending like she wasn't the one behind all the planning."My assistant was of great help, she assured me you were going to love this, I'm glad I took her advice," Enrique smiled.They had spent the entire day hiking and afterwards picnicked at a park. Now, Enrique had driven them to a private camping ground. Though Grace was very tired, she was grateful for such an amazing opportunity to be with Enrique."Well, she was indeed right. I absolutely love everything we've done together today. Thank you so much, who knew someone with such great looks, money and came like you would be such a romantic," Grace teased."I plan to do a lot more for you, so don't be so thankful all the time," Enrique blushed."Are you blushing right now?" Grace laughed."What? I don't blush," Enrique frowned, covering his cheeks."If you say so, I'll leave it at that. So, what's for dinner?" She smiled."You?" Enrique w

"I feel like you're going to look even more beautiful without all that makeup on," Enrique told Grace.After waiting for over an hour for Grace to finish with her makeup, Enrique had finally decided to join her in her hotel room to wait. It was finally Sophia and Cesare's wedding. The past few days since they had gone camping had been spent with preparations towards Sophia's big day.The wedding ceremony had been intimate and lovely, Enrique had shed tears while watching his sister say her vows and finally get married to the man she loved.They wedding party was starting in an hour at the very same hotel, David Stone's father owned.Enrique and Grace had been almost inseparable except for when they had to use the bathroom and eventually go back to their different houses to sleep."You think so?" Grace smiled at Enrique through the mirror."Of course, you are very beautiful," Enrique replied stooping to kiss the crown of her head."Thanks," she said in a low voice, knowing that she cou

"Mr Black?""Yes, Dr Fernandez. What is the situation now? How is she? How is Grace? Can I see her?"Enrique had been waiting the entire night with Penny and Sophia. The rest of their family had gone back home to return the following morning.It was about 2am when Dr Fernandez came out of the operating room. "I am truly sorry to be the one to tell you this," Dr Fernandez began with sad eyes."What is it, doctor? Please, talk to me," Enrique pleaded, dreading a bad news."What is wrong with my sister, can we see her now?""She is out of danger right now. She suffered a serious head injury, but we have operated and stitched her up. She is unconscious fir now due to a concussion. She would probably regain consciousness later today or tomorrow perhaps. There was no brain damage. She suffered several fractures and there are some cuts and injuries which we have treated. It is unfortunate, though that we couldn't save the baby. With the bruise on her belly, we suspect that she hit her belly

"My question for you is why a used condom is in our trashcan? Don't even try to lie your way out of it. This is concrete evidence of the fact that you brought in a man while I was away. Tell me how many times was it?" Enrique roared in anger."Why are you raising your voice at me? How is it my concern if you forgot to trash the condom?" Grace frowned."Of course I will raise my voice! You have no idea how disgusted I feel. Someone else has had you in our matrimonial home, how do you expect me to react to that?""Wait a minute, let me get you. You are accusing me of having sex with someone else? I haven't even been around for a while," Grace frowned."It's an old one, which shows that you and your partner made use of it while I was away at the office! We didn't use any protection the last time we had sex here, so it obviously isn't mine.""I don't have any partner, what nonsense are you accusing me of? Is this how lowly you think of me. That I would let someone else asides you to touch

Grace had to interrupt Enrique's advances as soon as they entered the hotel room for her best friend's wedding party. She questioned, "Enrique, what exactly are we doing here?" as her eyes surveyed the venue.Enrique pulled her closer and replied with an air of mystery, "We're here to fulfill a need, can't you tell?" before planting a kiss on her neck.Grace pushed him away and asked, perplexed, "What did you just say? This is my best friend's wedding party. I can't believe you would suggest we have sex during the reception. Plus, we're supposed to be the maid of honor and best man for the wedding!"Despite looking dapper in a white tuxedo, Enrique's behavior sent chills down Grace's spine. His eyes bore an unfamiliar look, and she couldn't help but feel like something was off.He persisted, "I don't see why we can't have some fun when we're both feeling it. Don't you feel the same way? It's frustrating."Enrique compelled Grace to touch his erect member, but she recoiled and questione

Janet and Miguel's wedding ceremony finally took place after two days of meticulous planning. Miguel's best man was Enrique and Grace was honored to have been chosen as the chief bridesmaid. She had been residing in a sumptuous suite with Penny and Sophia since the night of Janet's bachelorette party.Grace had been perplexed to learn that not only had Enrique been acting strange on the phone whenever she rang him, but he had also been avoiding her entirely by not taking her calls or visiting her at all, making excuses about work whenever she questioned him. The previous day she had driven from the hotel where she was staying all the way to their mansion, only to be informed by the housekeeper that Enrique had been sleeping outside since the night she left for the bachelorette party. She had attempted to contact him numerous times to ascertain his reasons for staying away, but her calls remained unanswered.Enrique's family was also present for the wedding, but at the reception party

Grace inquired, "Where are we headed?"After a morning without feeling any morning sickness, Grace woke up with an unusual sense of happiness. She even prepared breakfast, without any feelings of nausea.Enrique couldn't help but gaze at the sight of Grace's gorgeous face. She ate her breakfast with a sense of ease, feeling relaxed and content.Not wanting to be intrusive, Enrique refrained from checking Grace's phone for any traces of past messages from the unknown sender. Could it be that she was unaware or had not received any messages from them before?"Ricky, you seem to be lost in thought. What are you thinking about?" Grace asked."Nothing, my love. First, we plan on catching a movie, followed by a picnic, and then I'll take you somewhere nice," Enrique answered."Where?" Grace asked eagerly."You'll find out soon enough. Go get dressed, so we're not late for the movie. Sophia and Janet will come in the evening to snatch you away from me," Enrique joked."Alright, honey. I'll s

"So tell me, what is it between you and Margot Prescott? Don't even tell me that it's nothing, because I know what I've been seeing on the internet. I might be dyslexic, which prevents me from reading properly, but that doesn't mean that I can't see the photos of you two," Grace said."So you do care?" Enrique smiled."What do you mean by that? Of course I care and that's why I'm asking. Are you trying to avoid the question or what?""Margot is doing business with me," Enrique replied vaguely."Business? What kind of business could she possibly be doing with you, Enrique? Last I checked, Margot was still very much a supermodel. So tell me what a supermodel has to do with a famous restauranteur and businessman like you, my dear?" Grace asked with her hands akimbo."I find this amazing, Grace. You didn't even ask me this question on my return. Why now all of a sudden when the answer doesn't even matter?""Of course it matters. I want to know why my own husband was traveling all around E

"So what is it? Why won't you tell our close friends about our good news?" Enrique replied when they were seated on a couch in their house. Enrique had decided to stay at home with Grace for the entire day and hence delegated his duties to his executive assistant."I just don't want the news to be out there yet. Camila wouldn't be happy to hear that I'm pregnant, neither will your aunts. I just can't help, but feel reluctant to share such news with them," Grace replied."I never said we would tell them about it. Surely, you will tell Penny and Sophia about the baby at least?""No, not even them. I just want to take it all in first. I'm not even sure I want all of this right now. I don't want to tell anyone until I'm sure," Grace said, honestly. "What do you mean by that? Are you considering a termination of the pregnancy? Why? I don't have a problem with us getting so lucky at once," Enrique said."Enrique, please understand me. I have never been pregnant before, not even while slee

"I don't know why I'm feeling so nervous all of a sudden," Grace sighed. She was dressed in a purple business suit with her ginger red hair let down in waves across her shoulders.Her makeup was flawless, making her look regal and untouchable. Enrique had helped with her makeup and dressing because he had been afraid to let her be alone for a second."You have no idea how nervous I am too, but then we have to get you treated. You can't keep feeling this way. I don't like it," Enrique said, arranging her hair to cover the red patch on her neck.Grace suddenly remembered what happened earlier that morning between them and she blushed when she realized that Enrique was also thinking of it."I'm sorry that I got so wild with you like that, you weren't even feeling too good and I did that," Enrique said."Why are you sorry? I wanted every bit of it too."Grace hugged him and then Enrique kissed her forehead before leaving the car.He opened the door for Grace, holding her by the waist. The

Grace rushed out of the bed, bolting straight to the bathroom. She bent over the wash basin and spilled out the contents in her stomach.She felt so sick to her stomach and the gagging continued until she curled up like a ball on the white tiles."Baby, what is wrong with you?"Grace was about to reply, but instead felt another bout of nausea hit her as she threw up once again. Enrique held back her hair the whole time and Grace felt terrible that he was seeing her in such a state."Take it easy, I'm here. You will be fine," Enrique said, patting her back, softly.Grace attempted to get up, but her legs felt so heavy and weak, she only squatted once again.Enrique washed her face with warm water Enrique lifted her up in his arms and placed her on the bed."How long has this been going on?""I don't know, about two or three weeks back," Grace replied weakly. Her head felt like it was spinning around and she just wanted to feel fine.The constant nausea was something she couldn't underst
