Chapter 8 Eight

DAMIEN

I sat in my chair in the office as I patiently waited for a knock. I knew she was going to cave in but I didn't think it would be this soon. The door went open and I raised my head in anticipation but Alex walked in. I sighed in disappointment relaxing back into my chair.

"You look almost disappointed to see me" he said noticing the look on my face

"Are you expecting anyone?" He asked again looking back towards the door

"What do you want Alex" I asked sighing

" I brought some files I need you to run through"

"Which files?"

" The one about cherry corporation. You weren't at the meeting, remember??"

"That's right. Just drop them on......." I was speaking before I was interrupted by a knock. I think she's here. I asked whoever was at the other end to come in and she was the one that stepped in.

I asked Alex to drop the files on my table before he leaves. He looked from Scarlett to me before he gave me this look that says "I'll definitely come back for an explanation". He turned and left but not before saying hi to scarlet while giving her his stupid smile.

After he left I offered her a sit as I also got up to sit on the sofa opposite her, but not before I grabbed the contract file from my desk drawer.

"Good morning" she greeted out of politeness

"Morning. I wasn't expecting to see your call last night" I said to her, positioning myself properly on the sofa.

"Well...I didn't think so either" She replied

"So you're ready and sure you want to sign this contract?" I asked her for reassurance.

"Yes. I think so"

"Good"

I pushed the contract papers towards her with a pen, waiting patiently for her to go through the contract and sign it. She picked it up slowly flipping through the pages before she stopped, staring particularly at one clause in the contract.

"I'm going to be living in your house??" She asked with surprise

"Yes. To make it look convincing to the public and my grandmother. Don't worry, we won't be sharing the same room." I answered her question.

She nodded slowly, going back to looking through the contract. She picked up the pen ready to sign the contract when she suddenly asked.

"Why is this clause written in bold letters?"

"Because it's very important. You can NEVER fall for me. The moment I notice any ounce of feeling the contract become null."

I said to her with seriousness. There won't be any strings attached. She might just be like Carol. She scoffed before she silently muttered

"Don't worry, It won't happen. I only need the money."

I said no reply to what she muttered. It was for her own best interest if she didn't fall inlove with me.

"Before I sign this thing, let me ask one thing" she suddenly paused her pen as she was about to sign it

"Sure, go ahead"

"We don't need to have sex right?" She asked me staring directly into my eyes.

"No we don't. Unless you've been dreaming of me inside of you" I replied with a smirk.

"You wish" She said, finally signed the contract and pushed it to me. I picked up the pen and signed in the space next to her signature.

"You'll be moving in tomorrow, I'll send my driver to pick you up. The earlier the better" I explained to her

"Okay"

" And you'll be quitting your job and resuming your old job. My wife can't be seen waiting tables. A lawyer fits better to the description"

" How did you know my profession" she asked, almost surprised.

" You're my wife, I have to know everything about you. Plus it's my company you were working for"

"Oh right I forgot you're a billionaire. Money does move mountains." She muttered the last part to herself. I took the contract file and go to place it back in my drawer.

"I'll take my leave" she said before walking out the door. I sat in my chair swaying side to side and thinking about the whole thing. After a while I switched on my computer, getting to work. I was working for about roughly forty five minutes when the door pushed open and Alex walked in.

"There is a thing called knocking Alex" I said to him shaking my head.

"That girl was the one from the restaurant right? The one you were staring at?" He asked me not making any comments about what I just said

"And so? I don't think I owe you any explanation" I said to him not breaking away from my computer.

"I fucking knew it. You had eyes for that girl! Ah" he exclaimed with a look of happiness on his face. I'm certain he has been thinking about it since that day.

"Get your minds off the mud Alex. It's not what you're thinking"

"Oh correct my thoughts"

I went ahead to explain the real reason she was here. He sat nodding his head, "ohhing" and "ahhhing" unnecessarily.

"Oh now I understand" he said as he stood up to leave. I guess he's finally done with his gossip. Sometimes I wonder why he couldn't be a little like Rider.

"Enjoy your married life buddy. I would do you the honors of passing the message on to Rider." With that he skedaddled out of my office.

I thought about my Nana and wonder if she wouldn't see through the lies and notice that this marriage was arranged. Oh well I just hope she does believe me.

I went back to work and the rest of the day went smoothly for me. I got home and decided to call Nana. It's been a while I heard from her. I know she'll probably chide me, saying I abandoned her.

I called her and we talked for a while, she was the only source of my happiness. I don't know why she stubbornly refused to live with me and opted to live in the country side.

After a while I bid her goodnight and settled in my bed to sleep. From tomorrow I wouldn't be living alone anymore, I was now a married man.
