chapter27 apology

Since Grace was Maya's ride to Long mansion, she had to drop her off at her next location which turned out to be the mental hospital that is housing Mia

Grace took a brief moment to stare at the mental hospital, she knew that if she didn't play her part well, she would end up there like Maya's sister she could even be killed.

' pretend to be stupidly in love with the man you despise, it can't be that hard right?.. right?"

the ride back to her office was even more nerve racking because she was so sure that Trevor would be there waiting for her. he had already called her twenty six times and left a bunch of messages in the past two hours.

she wanted to make a u-turn and go home but what's the use Trevor would just follow her there too sooner than later, she would have to face him

'why procrastinate the inevitable'

when he entered office she spotted Trevor pacing about by her desk, as soon as he noticed her, he ran up to her. hugged her and showered her face with kisses

"where have you been" Trevor demanded somewhat worriedly "I called and texted you all phone but you did not reply

"I went to Anna's house for lunch"

" with that Maya girl?" she didn't even care to ask how he knew

"yes, with that Maya girl"

"oh"

" can you get going now? I have a lot of work to get back to"

don't worry, just carry on and do you thing, when I'm bored I'll leave"

'I hope so' grace thought

about two hours later, Trevor excused himself and left for work related reasons. she took it as a good sign.

forty percent might be a good chance after all

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

Turns out that when Trevor was not being an excessive crazy person, he was actually a pretty good boyfriend and a small part of her herself actually enjoyed his company.

he was strangely funny, he had an amazing smile and he was such a gentleman. he took her out to places she didn't even know she'd enjoy like an MMA fighting arena, a high class casino and a fancy Opera House.

she now understood why people would fall so utterly and foolishly in love with Trevor to the point of desperation. it was his mesmerizing smile that drew people in, it didn't help that he was absolutely stunning and although he still had the stench of instability, he looked somewhat vulnerable and genuine.

"I hope you had a good time today" Trevor asked as they settle down to have dinner at and exquisite rooftop restaurant

"yeah, i had the best day" grace replied honestly

Trevor let out a laugh, a manly, stunning and husky kind of laugh "care to tell me the best part of the best day"

" well for starters I didn't know you could fight like that so....so.....skillfully" grace gushed

At the fighting arena, Trevor challenged a big muscled man to a fight even though he ended up with a black eye, he did more damage and eventually won the match. it was spectacular. "yeah? when I was a teenager, I wanted to become a professional mix martial arts fighter"

"why didn't you?" the answer was already obvious

"family business" Trevor stated "it was not a bad choice though, I wouldn't have all the privileges I have right now if I was just an ordinary MMA fighter"

" that's true" she agreed

"what about you, what other interests do you have aside from business?"

" nothing really, I don't even have a stable hobby. I do read from time to time but I don't really bother with anything else, I always knew that I'd become a businesswoman so I focused on that"

" it suits you, you are the youngest most successful business woman in the Continent."

Grace was used to receiving praises from friends and foes alike but there was something in the way Trevor said it that made it all the more alluring

when their meals arrive, today ate silently only speaking to verbally appreciate the food in front of them

"Grace" Trevor called

"hum?"

"am sorry" Grace froze she didn't know how to respond to an apology from Trevor. how could she be sure that he was genuine and what should she do if he was or wasn't genuine. "i'm sorry for kidnapping you. I shouldn't have done that and I'm sorry for threatening you with your brothers life that was a shallow thing to do"

she saw it, in his eyes. he wasn't genuine enough. he would still kidnap her or threaten have family in order to accomplish his aim.

how could someone lie like that, so easily and so believably. she wanted to call him out on his insincere apology but she decided to suck it up and smile

after dinner, Trevor drove her back to her place, gave her a simple kiss and drove away hurriedly.

since she met Trevor, he hadn't done anything out of place Grace's ego would have been bruised if she didn't appreciate his abstinence she tiredly made her way back to her apartment, when she entered have bedroom she sreeched just above her bed was a huge picture of Trevor Yang
