Zoey's Pov After Emma gave a knock twice, she opened the door and walked in. I exhaled before following her inside. I felt my tension raising up at the sight of him sitting there, relaxing into his chair at his desk. "You may both take a seat." He offered, gesturing to the seats in front of his desk. He seemed calm in his voice, but his facial expression says a totally different thing. I and Emma both settled in the seats in front of his desk. I don't know, but I can't pull my gaze away from him. Maybe I'm expecting a reaction from him to indicate that he recalls me, but there was none. Or is he pretending not to recall me? "Who are you, and how can I help you?" He asked, resting his arms on his desk. "You don't recall me?" I blurted out, staring straight into his eyes. I don't know what on this planet earth gave me such courage, but I think my curiosity did. Aside from that, it's hard to pull out of his gaze, like it's pulling me to it. "No, I don't. So explain yourself for I
Zoey's PovIt's been two weeks since our last encounter with that arrogant man, and Emma never brought up the topic like it never really happened, which I find very unlike her.Emma was done with her meeting, which they got the deal. After which we stayed a week, though we wanted to stay more but I had work to go back to or I'll be fired before I know it.Being pregnant isn't easy, it's barely a month gone and the baby is already giving me back cramps. And with a very huge appetite, Emma use to suffer it all when I cried out every evening for ice cream. She would rush down the street and get some for me."Don't blame me, it's all the baby's doing." I always used those words to save myself each time she glared at me."Hi Mr. Hart. How are you doing?" I asked a patient, while waiting to hear his response so I could document it in his folder.Mr. Hart is a diabetic patient, who had a cut on his leg. But due to the fact that he has diabetes, the wound refused to heal and rather made the cu
Zoey's PovI can't believe Rowan Weston called me, and he is in Central City LA, just to see me. Just the thought of that sends shivers down my spine.Am not sure why am feel that way!How did he get my number in the first place?!Well, like he said. He got contacts.Why does he want to see me outta the blue?!If he flew all the way to this place to try and offer me the same offer he made at his office, he will regret ever knowing me.Work hours were over, so I picked up my handbag and made my way outta the hospital to my car. I got in and placed my handbag at the passengers seat. I brought out my phone and quickly texted Emma that I'll home a bit late.I don't want to tell her I'll be meeting up with Rowan. I will first hear what he has to say, then I'll tell her. I started my car and made my way to the venue I texted him.Arriving at the cafe I texted him, I parked at the parking area which seemed empty which was really weird. All my years of knowing this cafe, it's parking area has
Rowan's PovIt's been a week since my last encounter with her, that crazy woman. But no calls from her, which means she didn't agree to it and that friend of hers wasn't able to convince her.I was just a fool to have listened to that friend of hers, and also accept the idea.Now am back to square one!Since this stupid idea didn't pull through, I'll have to use my last option cause I can't afford to ruin my reputation. I should've gone for that option before now.I picked up my phone to quickly call the person that will help me get rid of her, permanently. I dialed the number, but a call from my other phone interrupted me.I picked up my other phone to see the caller ID, to my greatest shock it was the woman I plan on getting rid of. Zoey!She finally called!How surprising.I picked the call, and placed it to my ear."What a surprise, I thought you'll never call." I said.I don't know why, but I felt like getting on her nerves like the last time. It's still strange to me why I like
Zoey's Pov"Emma, don't you think this is a little too much?" I asked as I stared at myself in a mirror.I am putting on a short black short sleeve gown. My hair in a tight bun, and little strand hanging at my face sides. A bit heavy makeup.I seriously look like someone going on a date."How is it much? You look perfect." Emma said, admiring how she had styled me.I rolled my eyes."I am only going to sign a contract, not going out on a date." I stated.After calling Rowan three days ago to inform him that I accepted, we picked a date when he'll be free and come down to my city so I'll sign the contract. This happens to be the evening it happens, but my dear friend is making it seem like it's a date and got me so dressed up."Even if it isn't a date, you can't look like a rag in front of the Rowan Weston." Emma said, narrowing her eyes at me when I turned to face her."You make it sound like I'm going to meet God." I said, I really don't know why she says his name with so much admira
Rowan's PovWhen she called and told me she had accepted to be my surrogate, I felt a wash of relief flow through me. We planned on meeting up in her city to seal the contract, so three days forward I flew down to her city.Now today is the day we meet to finalize everything. I got dressed in my black suit, styled my hair to be perfect. I don't know, but I feel like am too overdressed for just a meeting of a few minutes.I brushed the thought off and made my way to the back seat of my car, and soon we hit the road to the venue. Speaking of venue, I totally forgot I didn't send the address of our meeting to her. I picked my phone, and quickly messaged her the venue.Soon we arrived at my restaurant. Three years ago, I had bought this place and turned it to a massive restaurant. One of the best restaurants in this city if i must say. I made my way to the VIP area, there I do stay to host my meetings. No one dare to come that area without my permission.I settled in and ordered two glass
Zoey's PovI made my way to my house door after he had dropped me in front of my house. I rang the door bell, shortly after Emma opened the door. By now, the rain isn't that much."Am so glad you are home safe. I was so worried about you, I tried calling you but networking was furstrating." Emma said as I made my way inside."Yeah, I tried calling you too cause my car decided to ditch me at that moment. But network was bad." I said, sitting on the couch."Really?! So sorry about that, but how did you managed to get home without being drenched?" She asked, sitting next to me."Rowan dropped me." I said, as I pulled off my boot heels."What?!" Emma half yelled, making me jump on my seat a little."You got a ride by, the Rowan Weston?!" Emma asked, excited.I rolled my eyes."You sound like I got a ride from the almighty God." I said with a scoff, relaxing my back to the comfy couch."Hell yeah!" She said.I stared at her like she's gone nuts."Tell me about it?!" She asked."Tell you ab
Zoey's PovI opened my eyes to look up at what on earth i had bumped in to that made me break my glass of milk, and almost pushed me to the ground. I was dumbstruck when I saw it was him, Rowan Weston.I felt such a strange tingles run through my body, I didn't want to avert my gaze from his like there is something interesting in those eyes of his that I can't quite place my finger on it.As if being hit to the head, I pulled out of this intense gaze and out of his arms that I didn't know i was in.For a moment, I felt my heart skipped when my eyes landed on his. Strange right?!"You! What are you doing here!" I blurt out, looking down at the broken glass cup on the floor."This is my house." He replied with a straight face.Oh, yeah. I forgot that this is his house."I mean, what are you doing in front of my door like some statue?! Wait, were you peeking on me?!" I asked, narrowing my eyes on him.His eyes went wide for a moment, before he chuckled and mumbled something under his br
