Author's note: this chapter is supposed to be the chapter 41,but since i wrote something about me in the said previous chapter. Here it is. But i wrote this as the 42nd chapter so you won't get confused by reading the number chapter. Thank you!

-----------------------

Reige looked dashingly handsome in his simple suite. Wearing plain dark blue shirt which perfectly hugged his broad body. Partnered with blue ripped jeans and white sneaker shoes.

His simple wear made him more looked handsome. I have seen him wearing like this years ago. But i didn't expect that seeing him again like this after years made heart beats pounding crazily fast.

It seems like a sin watching him in this handsome look.

Miss Legaspino stood up as Reige reached our table,the reason why i got back to reality.

I stoof up too and looked at him straight in the eyes, and only to noticed his dominating look.

I frowned. He doesn't seemed surprised when he looked at me. Instead, he looked at me like he already knew what i'm going to react after we met.

Wait. Am i thinking surreal towards him? No. It can't be.

The anger looked that i've seen him from the last in the party, is now replaced with different aura. Amused, but yet serious. Then unreadable. I tilted my head.

"Miss.Cathy Gomez, this is Mr. Reige Del Rio the CEO owner of DRIGOC and amdel realty as well. I bet you knew each other. He is also the owner of the clothing line company which was recently opened a year ago. The clothing line that you're going to modeled with. " Miss Legaspino formally introduced him.

Off course i knew him. Who wouldn't know then?

But when miss Leagspino's last words stucked in my head, my expression became obviously confused.

" What?! Come again? "

Did i hear it right? His clothing line company that i'm going to model? Oh. Wait! This is rediculous!

What the hell? What i thought is that, this is another house project from a client and not to become a model. Again. I quited already. Jesus!

This is so beyond my expectation. Did he purposely do it? For what? Revenge again?

"Like i said earlier, Mr. Del Rio will explain you everything once he arrived. So.." she continued.

Reige raised his two hands. Gesturing miss. Legaspino to leave us.

"Oh! I'm sorry." the old woman bowed her head and immediatly left us in just a split of seconds.

I looked at her while walking away from us with a dumdfounded expression and remained standing.

I heard Reige's heavy and deep sigh, the reason why i turned back my gaze at him.

He gestured his hand, giving me an indication to take my seat.

"Sit Cathy, and let us talk." he calmly said.

What? I can't contain my anger when i saw his cold expression. And i find it rediculous to let him see that i'm fine in this agreement even though i am literally not.

"Seriously? Are you kidding me Reige? Well then, i will not going to work under your-"

"Tell that to my lawyer. And yes. I'm deadly serious. If you're going to breach the contract, then i will let you pay triple. No. I will let you pay all your damn money until you decide and beg for this work to have you. Like before. This time, you can't step back from this. No more running away. " my eyes widened.

This man is out of his mind. Oh my god. I can't believe this thing happened. I didn't even know that it was written in the contract.

" I will file a case regarding this issue. I will talk to my lawyer. "

" Then do it. Who'se at fault in the first place. You had a lot of time to read the contract before i came. Then why you haven't read it? You have no choice. Now, sit and let us talk about it. And my conditions about this contract. Unless if you want to live like a rat in hell. Then it would be easier for me. " what the....

" Besides, even if you have read the contract and didn't sign it, i can still make you agree and sign it in my own way. So you have no choice. " he added.

Now, and once again. I am under his authority. Again.

Fucking fool Cathy. You're so stupid. Reige wa right. Why i didn't read the contract when i had the chance to do it. And i can't even fucking answer him about that because it's true.

Should i blame Miss. Legaspino for giving me an encouragement not to read it?

No. This is all my fault. I should blame anybody. It was all my stupidity to be blame.

I almost fell down thinking that i had no choice but to sit. And fortunately, i had mananged myself to sit right in front of him professionally.

Asshole. Stop staring me. Dammit. Shit i want to curse him.

He stared at me like an expensive species with a sparks in his eyes. But i just ignored it.

I don't know what's with him this time. But i made sure that he wouldn't noticed my expression.

I remembered how he talked to me madly last night time in the event.Sitting with him in the same table is really awkward. Is he even aware about my accusing look? Or he does but he just ignored it.

I realized that i should let miss. Legaspino left us both in here. I could've asked her to stay.

I violently let out a heavy sigh with disgusting look. I don't want to give him any satisfaction for dragging me in this situation but i can't help it. This should maybe better, so i can have the chance to tell him about Geu later on.

This is so much absurd. Too much to bear. Damn. Howcan i get over from this situation?

He raised his right hand to catch the attention of some waiter. He talke and just asked the waiter to serve the main course

I bet he already asked some order before we came.

I can't believe all of this. I can't believe that after years, i would end up to be with him. Again. Dealing with him. Once again.

This is all his fucking plan. And the contract? Huh! I don't want to assume but i feel something about his contract thingy.

He reached the envelope beside with the contract inside in it. Which i signed earlier. Great! Jjst great!

He opened it, and acting like he has all the interest to read it. Well of course he did this in purpose.

Asshole.

"Can we go straight to point why we're here? Can we just talk about work or whatever written in the contract so that i can start and finish this."

No matter how much i tried to manage my voice to become calm, still it's shaking.

I want him to talk direct to the point so i ignored his expression and gave him a poker facial expression. I'm not kidding aside so there's no point on taking this meeting long.

I decided to do whatever he wants me to do, and to whatever he have written in the contract.

I won't waste my money for breaching the contract. I save that for Geu's future anyway.

I'd rather save and keep my money for my son's future than spending it and pay it to him if i will breach it.

And besides, i have no choice from this. Like what he said. He'll let me pay the riole amount or more once i breach the contract. Fine then!

I need this.

"What do you want.?"

"As what Miss. Legaspino told you earlier. You are going to modeled the clothing company that i have just opened a year ago. You are going to modeled the condos i have built in few distance away from my newly built house too in porbes park manila." he stopped looked at me.

"What-" i was about to ask something when he raised his right hand. Giving me the hint to stop asking and let him talk first.

I sighed. This asshole is slowly getting into my nerves.

"Starting tomorrow........ You will move into my condo under my supervision. You're going to stay in a condo unit. Next to mine. Still remember where my condo at, right?" my eyes widened whilw frowning. Absorbing all the conditions he have talked about.

Oh my god.! I can say the he is literally crazy!

"The hell i'm going to do that! What kind of contract is that? No! I won't-" he cutt me off again in the middle of my sentence.

Oh my goodness! The nerve of this man.

"And last but not the least, you will be the one to design my new house in porbes park manila. Don't worry about the payment about all of these. You will be payed in big amount like what you deserve. That's all stated in the contract you have signed. And wait.. " he trailed off.

What again? Another surprising contract again? I raised him a brow.

" Once you have moved in, you are going to report me from time to time. Which means. I need to know everything. Including your whereabouts. You need to tell me where you go. And where have you been. Or else.... I will ask my men to watch over your steps."

I purposely put down my glass harshly and stared at him in disbeliefs.

" I bet your not looking for a model or an architect. I bet you're hiring a fake wife. " i mocked him but i was only to surprised by his answer.

" Hired wife then."he said smirked.

What the hell?

I tapped the table in annoyance but he didn't care about it.

" I'm deadly serious about this Mr. Del Rio. Stop and quit playing to whatever what you have planned. Stop playing with me.! Are you telling me that i'm going to work with you twenty four hours? Are you kidding me? I need rest. I need spare time for myself. "

" If you're asking about off day, then off course you can freely have it. But you should be with me. That's part of the contract. All these conditions is highly paid. If i will not go to work, then you won't too. You're going to be with me and stay where i am. You' ll go home with me without any questions once i asked you to go home. You will work and live under by my terms and condition. I'll give you the photocopy of the contract so you can read it in your condo later tonight. But.... Make sure that all your thing are all packed up first thing in the morning tomorrow. I will pick you at sharp seven. "

Oh my god! He's starting to command me such things like this again.

And no! I won't let him go inside of my unit. Geu can see him. I won't... Let him meet Geu at this time. Not now. No.

" Unfortunately, you can't pick me up in that early. I'm still sleeping by that time. So, i will just call you once i woke up and ask you to pick me up at the lobby of the building."

I won't refused him. There's no use of doing that anyway. Damn.

Inhale.. Exhale, Cathy. You're no longer a Cassy Ambrocio who were very impulsive.Act professional.

" Are you asking your boss to wait for his employee then? "

" Then ask someone who has the patience to wait me in the lobby and pick me up tomorrow. I haven't asked you to pick me up either if that's what you mean." i shrugged.

"You're my boss. So basically, it's not an appropriate gesture from a boss that he'll going to pick his employee. Ask someone to pick me. As simple as that." i almost laughed when i saw his face with annoyance.

Huh! You can't work with me smootly Reige if that's what you think.

" Be ready at seven. I will pick you. No one will pick you aside from me. No buts. If you're worrying about your rest, then you can have it once you arrived in there at the unit."

Why do i feel like this scenarion have already happened years ago.

Moving in his unit. Before. The only difference now is, i am going to move beside his unit. Not literally his unit.

" Tss. " i shook my head in disbelief. Damn.
