THE TYCOON'S HIRED LOVE CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
Grace resumed work the following day in a sour mood. The previous day which was Sunday, she had been eager to get a response from Enrique and also see him again.She had assumed he would invite her to Sunday brunch with his family or even take her to church with him as he had done the previous week, but he didn't.Reaching her office, she hung her bag and coat and sitting in her seat. She was just about to let out a sigh of relief for getting to work early enough that day when she heard Enrique's voice through the intercom."Ms Jones, I need you in my office now!"Grace rushed to her feet and made an attempt at smoothing out the wrinkles on her grey dress. Her hair was also a bit out of place and she tried her best to arrange it, but gave up when they didn't budge.Why was she trying to look good? For whom exactly? Mr Black wasn't interested in Grace, he was attracted to Lila's enchanting beauty and at the moment, she wasn't Lila.She knocked before rushing into the large office where

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 His traditional and outdated way of doing things made it impossible for Enrique to wrap up the deal as quickly as he normally would.Grace had been working like a dog during the last four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
