Staring at Muna for long would only lead to irrational behaviours from me- Grant.Twelve Days Later...GRANTI was working on a proposal when I heard the phone on my desk, ringing."Mr Stephens, Ms Rowland is here to see you," Abigail said as I answered the phone."Send her up and please hold all my calls until I say otherwise, thanks.""Right away, Sir."I counted the steps necessary for Muna with her long shapely legs to get to my office and she arrived at the exact moment I expected her to.I stared at her, taking in her beautiful appearance. Today, she had her hair packed in a high bun and she wore a fitted white shirt with black pants. They flattered her shapely figure so well.She looked so elegant and just like always, when she walked into my office, I was hit with the sweet fragrance that she favoured ever since we were teens."Before you ask why I'm here, I'll tell you. I have a few questions for you," she said in her usual husky tone."Go on then, sit please. I assume you ha
Underestimating Grant's Level Of Ruthlessness Would Only Lead To Undesirable Situations Like Moving In With The Enemy- MunaMUNAI had no idea why I welcomed that kiss from Grant, but as soon as he said what he did after pulling away, I got back to my senses.I raised my hand to give him a tight slap, but he dodged before my hand could connect with his cheek."You succeeded in hitting me the other time, but not now. What I said is reasonable," he smiled."Reasonable? I'm sorry about hitting you, but trust me, you're the only one who inspires such violent behaviours from me," I almost choked on the words."That's exciting, it means I'm finally getting under your skin. Listen, what I said is reasonable, you need the money, I also need the money your father borrowed back. You need to save the three galleries and I need to secure such a genius under my company before someone else does. I must be the investor that Adewale turns to for expanding his work. We will be helping each other if yo
I'm not very sure why I asked Muna to live with me, but I couldn't possibly say there's nothing more attached to it-Muna.GRANTI watched all the colour drop from Muna's face as I said that. "Did she really think I was going to leave any loopholes in our pretend relationship?" I thought to myself as I studied her."What nonsense? How dare you make decisions for me just like that? Who the hell do you think you are? Why would you move my things to your place without my consent?" She queried, nose flaring in anger."Calm down, my dear, we are supposed to be a loving couple now. I know about the fact that your rent has been due for a while now. I'm sure with what's happening to precious Daddy, you don't have the necessary funds to pay up your rent, so I'm doing you a favour. You can stay at my house, it's big enough," I replied, smiling.She let out a scoff before saying, "I don't care about how big your house is, but there's no way that I'm going to live with you. I don't trust you one b
I guess nothing can prepare me for Grant's fury. Picking a fight with him will only result in me getting hurt anyway- MunaMUNAI woke up the next morning in an unfamiliar room. The pink walls and lilac coloured bedsheets was something I definitely disapproved of. Grant knew that I wasn't the girly type who favoured pink or purple, so I'm sure he designed this room this way just to piss me off, which he clearly succeeded at.Every single item was either in pink or purple. I touched my head, trying to remember what exactly happened yesterday.I remembered the terrible migraine that gave me signals while I was talking with Mr Flint and Mr Moore. I had always suffered from migraines, ranging from mild to terrible ones. Yesterday's episode fell under the category of the latter, it started about a year ago. I had an episode at least twice every month.Yesterday was the worst so far, I had felt as though drumsticks were being used on my head. I know I was at the office lying on Grant's co
Throughout the entire ride to Rowland Galleries, Muna ignored Grant who sat beside her, frowning for some reason unknown to her. It was a huge surprise to see him hop out of the car as soon as they arrived in front of the gallery. He quickly moved around to her side and pulled the car door open for her. She frowned, wondering why he had to do that, but soon realised his reason when she saw a curator from the gallery watching them. Placing his hand at her lower back, he took her purse in his hand before kissing her briefly on the lips. Muna stared at him, totally confused by the sudden kiss and big smile plastered on Grant's face. His dimples were on display, making him look even more handsome. He had gone for a charcoal grey suit which seemed as though it was sewn right on his body. He looked every bit like an intimidating billionaire which he was. Seeing how confused she looked, he explained, "It's time to put your acting skills to use. This is our first official public outing a
I sometimes feel like a real fiancé when I visit Muna in her office, just kidding. I'm not that stupid to forget what she did to me, but seeing her in a state of undress might be my undoing- Grant.GRANTI sat in my office working on some new proposals when my phone rang. It was Olivia calling, I answered the call quickly."Hey friend, you seem to have forgotten me," Olivia joked in her usual calm voice.I could just imagine how she was sipping a glass of mango juice after concluding with her recent romance story.Olivia was a famous novelist and was often busy writing romance stories for her hungry readers. She was also my best friend since we were little."I couldn't possibly forget you Olivia. How's it going? Did you conclude that story?" I asked as I typed up an email."Yes and that's why I want to celebrate with you. How about dinner at 6 pm at Bella's? I'm in the mood to spoil you with some Italian cuisine. What do you say?""Well, I don't know how to say this, Olivia. I need to
Having Grant attend to my zipper might come with some strange emotions, but that won't keep me from remembering that he's my nemesis-Muna"Oh my God! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to just barge in on you like that," Grant apologised while feasting his eyes on Muna's body."Sorry for yourself. I'm sure you walked in on purpose. How did you know I wasn't properly dressed?" She queried, tugging the jumpsuit into place and trying to draw up the zipper."Let me help with that," Grant suggested, unsure of why he even wanted to help in the first place.Muna did her best to ignore the tingling sensation she was feeling due to Grant's fingers on her back."Can you just zip up the damn thing and leave me alone?" She frowned, trying to sound annoyed, but the words came out sounding breathless instead.It took a whole lot of self control from Grant to pull his eyes away from the designer bra that she had on as he zipped up the jumpsuit.Finally decent, Muna sat on her chair behind her desk and said
The idea of other guys staring at Muna's rather ample curves might just have my chest tightening in a knot- Grant. Muna was about to step out of car when Grant halted her with his hand on her wrist."What is it?" She frowned."I wanted you to have this, I'm sure this is not how you expected your first engagement be, but we need to make our relationship more believable. I can't call you my fiancée without you having my ring on your finger."Muna stared at the beautiful and simple diamond ring that Grant had placed on her ring finger.The ring was a perfect fit and was just what Muna had once described to Grant as her ideal ring. They were friends back then and had spoken about proposals randomly.She wondered if Grant remembered what she had said and decided to get her ideal ring for her? He couldn't have, he hated her after all, she concluded, casting away that idea."It's beautiful and it must have cost you a lot," she remarked in a fake excited tone."Purchasing it had no significa
