All thanks to the rude taxi who keep making different calls.

” Really?, Is that your good morning? ”
” Oh, I’m sorry, Good morning sir “I greeted immediately, He walked up to me and kissed me slowly.
After some few seconds, He pulled away and made me sit on the table.
” How are you doing? ”
” I’m good, Just that the taxi man ruined my morning ”
” Maybe I should get you a car then, For easy mobilization “He mumbled and I shook my head immediately.
” No, Don’t worry “I protests and he started moving his hand slowly to my laps, Then ny panties.
” Are we doing it here? “I asked Looking around and he chuckled.

ZOE POV
Getting to the office, The receptionist was kind enough to show me the way to Maynard office.
I wore a skimpy dress with split which stopped halfway on my laps.
” Hey, are you the secretary?, I need to see Mr. Maynard “I asked loudly staring at the lady.
She looked up at me and I realized it was Magnolia.
Is she the secretary?, Her face litted up, I smiled at her.
She’s now more prettier.
” What are you doing here? “She asked after exchanging pleasantries and I smiled.
” I’m here to see Maynard, Is he around? ”
” Yes, But don’t you think that dress is too skimpy?, He doesn’t like it when ladies dress like this “She said politely and I scoffed.
Did she just insulted me?
” I came here for a business meeting, And I’m sure you’re not the person assigned to attend to me, Go into the office now and tell your boss that someone is here to see him ”
” Alright, I’m sorry “She apologized softly, I scoffed and watch her go into the office.
She came back few minutes later.
” He said you can come in ”
” Alright, thank you ”

MAGNOLIA POV
The Zoe I know doesn’t dress like this, She’s so decent and a workaholic as well, Seems she’s noe changed.
I don’t expect her to talk rudely at me like that but that part of my job!, I’m a secretary to the wealthiest entrepreneur in California so I should expect more of this.
Ladies simps on him a lot which infuriates me more.
MAYNARD POV
The lady walked in with her shoes clicking on the floor.
I looked up at her and almost cringed, She wore a red dress and it’s exposing too much of her skin.
” Good morning sir “She greeted in a cool voice.
” Good morning, Sit down and let’s discuss about it”

I walked out of the office Feeling so angry, What’s she saying?
A marriage is to be used to seal the deal.
” Sir, are you leaving? “She asked softly and I seethed in anger.
Pick up your phone, Dad.
” May….. ”
” What the hell is this lady talking about?, We need to get married before the contract can be sealed?, Did you know what you’re saying Dad? ”
” That’s her father decision, And the girl is pretty as well, So, I see no reasons why you shouldn’t marry her ”
” Really Dad?, I honestly don’t expect you to say this, You want me to get married to Zoe?, So as to seal the contract? ”
” Yes, And you have no other choice than to comply to it, You should know what I’m talking about, Maynard, Just do it “He persuaded, I took a deep breath before hanging up on him.
I walked back to the office and met her sitting, relaxed.
” You should leave now, I will get back to you about it ”
” Alright then “She said softly and pick her bag before leaving.

FLEUR POV
Immediately I stepped into the room, I jumped on the small bed and groaned.
Such a long day at work!
Geez!, I hope I make more deliveries tomorrow so my salary will increase, there are so many debts to settle.
” Gosh!, I’m so tired “I grumbled before walking to the small kitchen to prepare something to eat.
Then, a knock came on my door.
Who’s that?
I’m sure Mateo isn’t yet back from work.
Dragging my legs to the door , I opened it and realized Brady is the one knocking.
My ex boyfriend, My heart skipped a bit and opened the door wider for him.
” Is there a problem? “I asked immediately he entered the room.
He look so sober and remorseful.
” I came here to apologize, I knew how much I’ve hurt you but I want you to forgive me, It was my fault, And I know that, But please, Find a place in your heart forgive me, I’m ready to make amends ”
” And what if there’s no second chance?, What if I don’t want to forgive you, What if I have another person already?, What if…”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
” That man right?, The one I saw you with yesterday? “He asked and I could sense his mood is changing from remorse to anger.
” Yes, And there’s nothing you can do about it ”
” How cheap you are!, Offering your body already to a man you met yesterday?, Just like the way you did in our two weeks of relationship?, Oh really?, I wish you can cheat on me with someone better “He scorned and I slapped him immediately.
A tear slipped down my face and he took a deep breath.
” Really?, You had the guts to slap me?, Like seriously? “He yelled and grabbed me immediately, He pushed me to the bed roughly, I moved away from him in fear.
” Stop this Brady, We are no longer together” I yelled and he scoffed.
He tore my shirt right almost immediately.
” Let me go! ”
” Not until I’m done with you ”
“Then you have to be done with me first “A cold angry voice interpolated immediately and I heard a loud heavy punch
I cover my face and sobbed softly.
After a while, I bring my hands down and it was Mateo.
I jumped on him immediately and he chuckled.
” Are you fine?.”
” How did you know?, How come? “I asked sobbing.
” I was in my room when I saw him through the window so I have to tail him here, Hope he hasn’t done anything to you? ”
” No, not at all, You saved the day ”
” He’s dead? “I asked immediately I saw him on the floor.
” No, he passed out, the cops will be here soon to take him out, Will you come with me to my room? ”
” Yeah, thanks a lot “I mumbled softly, With my hands wrapped around his neck, His hand cupping my butts, He walked out of the room leaving him behind.
