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.
” Did you want it here?, I will love to take you to my farm house tonight but I don’t know maybe your mom will agree to it “He asked softly and I laughed.

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.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
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…”
” 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.
