Chapter 8: Signed contract

I was arranging my table when suddenly I heard a commotion, the girls in the office were screaming like they had just seen a celebrity.

So I went out to see what was going on. When I went outside I saw Mr David walking in like a king who was greeting his subject.

I was dumbstruck as I subconsciously said,

"Why does he look so freaking hot...." He was dressed in black trousers and a black jacket that hugged his broad shoulders and.....

Before I could say any more things I heard Jessica and Fiona saying something behind me.

(Jessica: Did you see how faith was staring at him.

Fiona: Yes, he was also staring at her and you hear what she said.

Jessica: Yes oh my god I think she likes him....)

Before they could keep talking I turn to them and told them they were just imagining things and quickly turned around and left covering my face because I could swear my face was already read with embarrassment.

When I reached my office I was shocked how could I say all those things that too unknowingly........

The rest of the day passed by fast and very soon it was time to go home. I took a deep breath, packed all my things and went straight to the door, but before I could open it someone already pushed the door open causing me to stumble backward and I slipped but before I could fall down he caught me and helped me up.

When I regained my balance, I finally go to see the person's face and it was none other than Mr David. I was grateful that he caught me and said thanks even though he was the last person I wanted to see today.

But what he said next surprised me. " You're welcome besides I don't want my future girlfriend to get injured"

What future girlfriend how, what was he even talking about. I asked frantically but he only said.

" Don't worry miss Faith you will understand soon."

And like that he took me to his car and drove us to the bouchers's cafe.

( At the boucher's cafe)......

So miss Faith if you remember I told you to get prepared for my condition, so I hope you are prepared.

Yes. Faith was quick to answer but then she started to get worried why did he call me his girlfriend.

Oh no could it be that he...... Before I could think of any more things Mr David called me back to reality.

Hey miss Faith are you listening I was about to tell you my condition so please pay attention.

Okay, sorry you can talk now I'm listening. I said urging him to speak as I was getting nervous and curious to know what his condition was.

My condition is that you will have to be my....... CONTRACT GIRLFRIEND.

WHAT!!!! Wait, wait, I don't think I heard you properly, did you say " Contract girlfriend".

Yes you heard me correctly, if you want me to keep your secret you have to be my contract girlfriend for two months.

Faith's jaw dropped she was sure she had mentally prepared herself for what he had to say but this, oh no she was not expecting this.

I am totally not going to agree to this, but if I don't he's going to tell everyone my secret and what if my Dad finds out. He is going to go crazy and kick me out of the house and even if he doesn't find out every one in the company may even use me to get back at my dad.

Which may cause his company to collapse or even worse what if they think I'm a spy sent by my dad to find out the secrets of the company and bring it down what would they do to me then, would they kill me.

(Snaps finger) hey miss Faith what are you thinking of just give me your answer, you have to pick yes because you don't have another choice.

He was right what other choice do I have. After thinking for a while I reluctantly agreed but I have a condition.

What condition. He said looking surprised as he raised one of his eyebrows.

You will give me a week to prepare and tell my family where I am going okay. I didn't care if he agreed to my condition or not all I knew was that I needed some time to tell my parents and prepare myself mentally, but I heard him say.

" Sure I agree to your condition" ....... So would you like me to drop you room or are you going by yourself.

I was relieved that he agreed to my condition and answered his question by saying." Yes please drop me off I actually need to be home quick I'm waiting for someone special."

Someone special!!! Who could this special person be?

Faith did not notice the change of expression on Mr David face because of excitement, she was so excited that her brother was coming home that she forgot all her problems.

As they stood up to enter the car David asked for Faith's phone and they both exchange numbers.

And exactly three seconds later Faith's phone made a beeping sound indicating that she had received a message, she checked her phone and saw that it was from David he sent her an address and told her that it was one of his houses and that anytime she was ready she could come and meet him.

Faith was confused and asked why she had to meet him at his house.

Well because as my contract girlfriend you have to live with me under the same roof.

What!!! I'm sorry but I think you don't know the difference between being someone's girlfriend and being someone's wife.

Miss Faith do you know the saying "always being contented with what you have" you should be grateful that I just asked you to be my girlfriend and not my.......

Your what. I asked getting slightly angry.

My WIFE.

And he was right if he actually asked me to be his wife I would have had no other choice but to be his wife, so I stopped complaining and accepted my fate.

I saw David bringing out a piece of paper from his pocket and I asked him what it was.

Oh this is just a contract you have to sign stating that you will be my contract girlfriend for two months.

I was already tired of fighting so I just angrily signed the paper and placed it on the table.

Before standing up and going to the car, but before I could get to the drivers seat, David stopped me and told me he already knew the way to my house and wanted to drive.

I chuckled slightly remembering the first time I drove his car and the look on his face........

NOTE TO READERS: How will Faith be able to manage her new relationship with David while still trying to break her alliance with Jack.........
