"I'm so sorry if this bores you, but Enrique and I met in the most uninteresting manner possible, right my love?" Grace laughed, giving Enrique the signal to fill in for her.Catching her signal, Enrique was quick to reply with, "yes, that's the best way to describe our first meeting. You see, Lila here has plans of running a book cafe and the amazing thing is that she chose one of my properties for the location.""Really? That's great, tell us more about it? I would absolutely love to be your regular customer, Lila," Sophia said."Well, it's far from open right now. I'm still considering some decisions first. We should be open before the end of next month," Lila said."So how did it happen that you got close enough to become our dear, Enrique's girlfriend? As far as I know, my nephew has several properties and I see no reason why he should get involved in the process of you renting out one of them," Lucia said with a frown."Well, that's where Miguel comes in," Enrique said."Miguel?
"Good morning Mr Black, here's your coffee, Sir," Grace said as she walked into Enrique Black's office the following morning.After their kiss the previous night, neither of them had bothered to talk about it and Grace had simply left the car and headed into Stunning Agency where she spent the rest of the day training the new escorts at the agency.She had set her alarm and got to work twenty minutes before work time and also taken the initiative to buy Enrique some coffee. She was determined to make him realize that she wasn't an incompetent idiot.Enrique looked up from his computer and was surprised at how polished his usually dull assistant was looking.She was in a pink pantsuit which fit her slim body perfectly. The white heels she had on augmented her short height and her hair was styled neatly in a high bun."You look great today, Ms Jones. Pink is a nice colour for that hair colour of yours. Thanks for the coffee," Enrique said, accepting the drink from her."Thank you Sir. I
It was finally lunch time and Grace was just about to go down to the cafeteria to get some cheap donuts for lunch when her phone rang."Ms Jones, I'm waiting for you at the parking lot. Remember you promised to have lunch with me?" Mr Bright asked when she answered the call."I'm on my way, Sir," she said and hung up.This was her chance to finally get close with Mr Bright, why was she being so hesitant about spending time with him. What if he was interested in her? Shouldn't she seize this opportunity?Grace decided she was going to be open to the possibility of a relationship with Mr Bright. He was after all the man she had been crushing on for the longest time.She wasn't going to let her complicated relationship with Enrique Black blind her from the obvious interest Mr Bright had in her.Having come to that conclusion, Grace applied some lip gloss before entering the elevator. The doors were about to close when Giselle rushed in.The entire space was quickly filled with her druggi
"Wow! Oh my God, this place is so beautiful, Enrique," Grace gushed.For the past two weeks after signing the fake relationship contract, she and Enrique had been going out in dates. With the new house under renovation due to the book cafe she wanted to set up, Enrique had made one of his apartments available for her to stay in.She and Penny had moved in and Grace was extremely glad because her younger sister now had a better place to relax and write the novels that she so much loved writing. They also had a heater installed that ensured Penny didn't catch colds at night.Camila had been surprisingly quiet about Grace and Penny's moving out. Grace realized later that she was only interested in the money she was earning from Enrique's contract with Grace.Since the staircase incident, Enrique had been very much civil with Grace at work. She was now familiar with his likes and dislikes and even though coming to work everyday, meant she had to get up very early and work so hard at meeti
After driving for over forty minutes in silence, Grace finally asked the question that had been on her mind."Where exactly are we going?" "Yesterday at dinner, you told me you hadn't ever enjoyed a normal childhood. I'd like to give you an amazing experience today, show you what you've been missing,""You remembered that? I just said that without thinking too much about it," Grace blushed."I take everything you say seriously, Lila. We are going to the beach, that's why I asked Mr Barrett to go home. I wouldn't want him seeing you in a swimsuit.""What? Swimsuit, beach?""Yes, we're going to the beach. Remember David Stone, my cousin?""Of course I do. The fact that he kissed my hand caused the both of us to trend for a while on social media. What about him?""His family have several hotels, just like the one I used for the anniversary party the other time. We're going to one of their hotels which has a private beach. David allowed me exclusive access to it for the entire day," Enri
"Where are we going next?" Grace asked Enrique once they were back in the car and on the road again.It was already 1pm and Enrique had assured her after they left the beach that he still had other exciting places to take her to.She had never felt so free and happy before. Her life since she was eighteen had been revolving around going to several occasions with men she didn't like. She had always longed for getting home after the functions were over to spend time with Penny.Was it wrong of her to not be as eager as she normally would have been to get back to spending time with Penny? "The aquarium, I'm sure you haven't been there either," Enrique smiled."No, I haven't. I'm so glad we're going there, I really love aquatic animals and I've always wanted to visit an aquarium," Grace smiled back at him."Feel free to turn on the radio," Enrique said."Alright," Grace replied, turning the radio on. Her favourite song at the moment filled the car and she squealed in excitement. "I real
"So are you ready for the fun stuff I said we were going to be doing together?" Enrique asked as they walked out of the aquarium.He had noticed her cold and detached behaviour ever since they discussed Margot in the car earlier. He had no idea why she was being so nosy, it wasn't like they were in a real relationship, after all.He still couldn't deny the fact that he was hoping she was curious because she was catching the same feelings he was, but he always had to wake himself up to the fact that she was only an escort he had hired. She was incapable of loving him or anyone else."Yeah, sure," Grace replied in an almost robotic tone. Their car stopped in front of Enrique's mansion and Grace turned to look at him, confused at why they were at his house.They got out of the car and she let Enrique wrap his arms around her waist like a real lover would."Why are we here? You said there's something fun you and I would do, is that—?""I can tell where your mind is headed, but that's not
Enrique finally dropped Grace and Penny at their new home. Throughout the ride, Penny and Enrique had been discussing non-stop. They got on like a house on fire and Grace couldn't help, but feel a kind of happiness at that."I'll leave you guys to do all the kissing stuff," Penny said winking at Grace before running into the house.Grace blushed at her sister's comment and turned to stare into Enrique's hazel-green eyes."Your sister thinks we are for real," he prompted."Yeah, sure," Grace lied."Would it be so bad if it were, though?" Enrique found himself asking. It was becoming clearer to him that he really enjoyed spending time with Lila, he liked how happy she had been throughout the day. She had totally forgotten about her own birthday, but he had gone out of his way to make sure she had an amazing day. Enrique had never felt so determined to make someone else happy."What?" Grace frowned, confused. Was he suggesting a real relationship with her?"It's nothing, go on in, it's
