LEILANI'S POV:
I stared pointedly at my laptop screen, my eyes darting from the laptop to the door of Mr Black's office.
It is already time for him to leave but he haven't walk out of his office. After awhile, I stood up from my chair, pushing it back a little as I made my way to the door.
I stood in front of it contemplating if I should knock or not. I swallowed the lump in my throat and turn on my heels, matching back to my desk.
I sat back down on my chair and glanced at wristwatch. 5:49pm, he should be out by now.
I didn't know what to think, I was worried about him. Almost immediately the door was pushed open and he stroll out of the office, his left hand clutching his phone and his eyes searching for something until they rest on me.
I stood up almost immediately, my palm sweaty.
He looked delicious as always, smart, so fucking beautiful. Those pair of gray eyes staring at me silently.
"Good night, Sir." I said as he walk away from my sight. I knew that he heard me. I wanted him to hear me. Few minutes later after rounding up with what I was doing, I grabbed my bag and logged out of my laptop then shut it down, I switched off the light and walk towards the elevator.
I pressed the elevator door and walk inside, my back pressed against the cold surface, my eyes closed momentarily. I let out a strangled sigh.
It has been a long day, but it worth it because he is richer by millions today, I know that the deal with Winchester Corporation will profit him a lot.
I got to the garage and unlocked my car, I throw my bag into the back seat and sat down behind the wheel, I pulled the car out of the parking lot and hit the road.
I felt like shit, my muscles were throbbing, my head itching, I needed a lot of rest, u desperately want to sink into a bathtub filled with warm water.
I stopped the car in my driveway and got down from it, grabbing my back and locked the car. I stepped on the front porch, my feet taking me towards the door, I fumbled with my key, trying to open the door. I successfully opened the door and stepped inside the pitched black house.
Everywhere was dark, I groaned in annoyance remembering that my electricity circuit had some problem last night.
I locked the door and fished out my phone from my bag, I turned on the flashlight and ushered myself fully inside the house. Just as I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, my phone started ringing. I checked the screen and smiled when I saw Serafina's name flashs on the screen.
I quickly receive the call, "Hello, girl."
"If you're not my best friend Leilani fucking Carter, I would have cursed you." She shouted on the phone, I raised an eyebrow then quietly make my way out of the kitchen in the dark.
I sighed, " I'm sorry, Fina, I really thought I could make it but I had to work. You know…"
"Whatever, are you coming over this weekend? I've got to tell you something or you gonna choose sexy Mr Black over me?" She asked, I laughed loudly, I bet my money on it, she's definitely rolling her eyes right now.
"I'll try and make out some time for our girls night Fina, and Dylan have nothing to do with it. I just got back from work, I got to take my bath and order something for dinner." I said as I unlocked the door of my room.
"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow then. Good night," she said and hanged up.
"Good night." I muttered, staring at the blank screen.

After taking a warm bath and spending almost twenty minutes doing so, I ordered for pepperoni pizza.
Pepperoni pizza wasn't really my favorite pizza but I craved it at the moment.
I sat down on the couch in my living room, the TV remote in my hand while I started searching for a perfect channel to keep myself busy.
I came across a cooking show and dropped the remote beside my on the couch when the doorbell rang.
I unlocked the door and smiled politely at the delivery guy. I collected the pizza from him and quickly pay off.
A slice of pizza in my hand, I sat down on the couch, a duvet wrapped around my body as I watch the cooking show. After eating four slice of the pizza, my eyes stings, I turned off the TV and headed up to my room.
I woke up the next morning, took my bath and waste five minutes searching for what to wear.
I pulled out a lemon colored shirt and a black pencil skirt.
I stood before my mirror and smiled at myself, I am beautiful, that I know quite well. I have a blonde straight hair, light green eyes and 5'5 tall. I'm short I know, that was why I always wear my stiletto heels everytime.
During the five years that I've worked for Dylan Black, I haven't seen him with a lot of women. Men like him are tend to have a lot of women in their life but I haven't seen any with Dylan. At a time I believed that he was gay.
I tried to push the thought out of my mind but I still think about it sometime but I tried not to judge him or the sexuality he might choose.
I shook out the thought and stepped out of the house, I locked the front door and stepped inside my car. I drive out of the driveway and hit the accelerator.
After twenty minutes of driving I got to the company, I parked my car at the parking lot and hurried inside the elevator. I got to my desk and dropped my bag on my desk.
"Hi secretary Carter, Mr Black said you should come to him immediately you come to work." Kira, one of the employees told me.
I was shock and stammered out a question, " He…..he is here already?"
"He came to work about thirty minutes ago." She responded before walking away.
Oh shit, I always make sure that he doesn't come to work before me.
I'm in for some shit if he is in a bad mood this morning.
LEILANI'S POV:I nervously walk inside Mr. Black's office, closing the door behind me. I walk over to his desk. He was sitting down behind the huge mahogany desk, wearing a spectacle, his eyes fixed on the laptop before him."Good morning, Sir." I greeted. He nodded and motioned for me to come to his side. I bite on my lower lip nervously and walk behind the desk to his side.He pointed at the screen of his laptop, I bent my back, my hand on the desk and my eyes fixed on the screen reading what was written there."Sir, it is an invitation letter." I said and cursed myself inwardly. I was sure that I got the mail first but since I haven't l

I always kick Greg's ass Everytime we play." I told her. She chuckled and kissed Greg on the lips before sitting down on the empty chair beside him."Why don't we bet on that?" She asked. I became excited, I looked at Greg but he wasn't the least interested. It sounded fun, it has been a long time since I last did something fun.Zoey is a fun girl and that was why

I told him.I board my private elevator and not too long later, I was in my office floor.When my grandfather made me the CEO of our pipeline corporation, I wasn't so sure if myself.It was a responsibility I wasn't sure I was ready for, after managing it for four years I realized that it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be at the beginning, it became even more interesting after I employed Leilani Carter as my secretary; my highly capable secretary.She is smart but not so smart sometimes, especially when her feelings for me clouds her judgements.She is love sick with me, it didn't start today, it started years ago b
Dylan's POV:I sat down inside my home office thinking about the possible solution to my current dilemma.I know that grandfather was serious. He doesn't threaten anyone if he isn't going to do what he says.I knew that he would surely take away my hard earned inheritance from me if I refused to do the one simple thing he asked of me.I don't have a girlfriend, I don't deal with girlfriends. How am I going to get someone that will cooperate with me in this?My mind kept going around and around until I thought of Leilani Carter.Leilani Carter.She is beautiful and smart, she is the perfect woman that I can trust with this.With her love for me I'm sure she wouldn't mind being my wife for a few years.I grabbed my phone from my desk and dialed her number.It rings twice but she didn't pick it up so I sent her a message instead.Miss Carter,I'd like you to come to my house tonight.There is an importan
LEILANI'S POV:I waited to see his reactions to my words but he just nodded his head."Margret." He called, a young girl in her early twenties walked in, an apron wrapped around her body. Margret was madame Solange's child, after the woman's death, Margret took her mother's place as Dylan's cook."You called me, Sir?" She asked and Dylan hummed."Get dinner ready, I'll be having dinner with Leilani. " He said, she looked up at me and smiled shyly. I can't believe that he hasn't eaten dinner by now. He always have his dinner before 8pm every night. Could it be that he was working and forgot the time?After Margret as left, I focused my attention to Dylan."We will go through the dos and donts while eating," he told me and I nodded my head.He continued typing on his phone until after a while, Margret came back to announce that the dinner is set.Dylan and I walked inside the dining room and sat down on the chair. Spaghetti
LEILANI'S POV: When I got back from making Dylan's coffee, his lawyer was already inside his office. I sat there opposite Dylan, my hands on my lap as I watch Dylan and David Sinclair, his lawyer and the head of his legal team. "So Miss Carter, before we can discuss anything with you I'd like you to sign this paper. " David Sinclair said and pushed a paper and a pen towards me. I grabbed the file from the table and quickly red the heading. A NDA. No disclosure agreement. I grabbed the pen and put my signature on the file. "Very well then." He said and took the file then kept it in his briefcase. He brought out another file from his briefcase and handed it over to Dylan. Dylan went through the file quickly and nodded his head then handed it back to me. 'A one year marriage contract
