"You play dirty, don't you?" Grace smiled, noticing how many people from the press were outside taking photos of them."I never knew that, are you ready?""Yes, I am.""Just ignore the stares and hushed talk around. We are going to have dinner, if we want people to buy this idea of us dating, then we have to at least be seen at the most expensive and famous restaurant around," Enrique said.Enrique got out of the sports car and made his way over to her side to open the door for her.Grace got out of the car, forcing herself to keep smiling. She wasn't surprised when Enrique opened the door of backseat and handed her a bouquet of red roses.She was the one who picked the flowers up for him at work, so she wasn't even flattered. She simply smiled for his benefit as well as that of the other people watching them.They walked into the restaurant and were excorted to the best table upstairs. After getting seated, Enrique asked, "so what would you like to eat?"Grace pointed the fanciest dis

"Why are you still up?" Grace asked Penny when she walked into her room."I've been setting up my new phone and yours too. We really have a lot to learn, this phone is amazing. Why did your former CEO let go of a company that makes something as amazing like this?" Penny asked typing away on the phone."I don't know, I guess he didn't have the necessary resources to keep the company running. Let me see what you've done to the phone," Grace said, sitting beside Penny in the bed.Penny turned and looked at her sister who looked kind of happy which was strange. Grace was always in a terrible mood after getting back from work at night."Did something happen?" Penny asked."W— What would happen?" Grace stuttered."Something must have happened, you just stuttered. Wait a minute, why are your lips like that?"Grace quickly covered her lips and muttered, "like how?""Like they were just thoroughly ravished. Did the client gift you those roses?" Penny teased.Grace choked on a laugh and tried to

Grace was just about to get into the taxi when her phone rang. "Hello?" "Ms Jones, I forgot to mention, please come with the thick black file on my desk," Mr Black said and hung up.Grace was so pissed, he must have called the office phone and realized that she was already on her way, why didn't he just say everything all at once. She apologized to the taxi man and the man simply gave her a pained look before driving away. Grace rushed back up and picked up the file.While in a hurry, she didn't notice the papers that fell out of it and instead closed the door and went back into the elevator.Grace got to Aroma twenty minutes later and was taken to the fifth floor where Mr Black was waiting.She forced herself not to gasp out loud when she saw Sophia sitting with Enrique in what looked like an interview room."There she is, my new PA. She is the one I was telling you about," Enrique said to his sister.Grace didn't need an oracle to tell her that it wasn't anything good he told his s

"I will send you an email with the list of the things I need you to get done before the end of the day," Enrique told Grace as the car came to a halt in front of Howard Tech."Okay Sir, don't forget the appointment with Mr Valverde," Grace said."Thank you, see you next week then," he said and Grace simply smiled knowing that she was going to see him once again that night for the movie.Grace tried her best to keep her head up as she walked into Howard Tech. It was a sort of challenge though.Everyone seemed stunned at her new outfit, some even had their mouths open like fishes while watching her."My oh my, isn't this Ms Grace Jones, what happened to you?" Giselle asked.She was as usual, at the new receptionist's desk, gossiping when she saw Grace."Hello Giselle," Grace smiled."That pantsuit is a from a designer brand isn't it? How did you get the money to afford it?" Giselle queried in her high pitched tone."I also love your suit, Giselle. Have a nice day," Janet Morgan said, ta

"So what movie are we seeing?" Grace asked as Enrique drove."It's a surprise, I just hope you haven't seen it already, though."Grace almost scoffed at that statement. She had hardly ever seen up to ten movies since Camila's husband passed."I'm not really the movie type, so I couldn't have seen it," she replied."Oh okay, then how about music. Do you like it? You seem like a fangirl of a boyband.""Really? Well, I'm kind of retro, I love Backstreet Boys, Westlife and NSYNC, they are my favorite," she smiled.Music had never been forbidden for Grace and Penny because Camila was a music lover. She usually had a Westlife song on whenever she was checking Stunning Agency's accounts."I absolutely love those guys too," Enrique said, tapping on his phone and then the intro of one of Backstreet Boys' most famous song filled the car.Grace yelled excitedly and started singing along, Enrique joined her and they sang song after song from his playlist."You have a terrible singing voice, you k

Saturday morning passed in a blur for Grace, she was in the hospital with Penny for her regular check-up.She spent her afternoon waitressing at a restaurant close to the house and then in the evening, Albert arrived at the flat to inform her that she was on duty that night too.Grace knew it couldn't possibly be Enrique who had hired her again, so she wasn't surprised when Albert showed her the details of the client, a sixty year old politician who was throwing a lavish party and wanted a beautiful young woman by his side.She dressed slowly, dreading spending time with the client. She had to remind herself that this was her job and she didn't need to like it, she just had to endure it for a little while longer.By the end of the year, she would have enough money to get she and Penny out if Camila's clutches. It was the only thought that motivated her to get ready for the night.She opted for a strawberry blonde wig and deep green contact lenses. Albert did a great job at darkening h

"What the hell do you think you're doing? I have a client waiting for me?" Grace yelled at Enrique when he started driving."I'm trying to knock some sense into you, damn it!" He yelled, his accent becoming more prominent."You're the one who isn't making any sense here. You have just kidnapped me from my client, do you have any idea how much he paid for my time?" Grace frowned."I am not stupid, while you were in the bathroom, I called your boss and made the necessary arrangements to purchase your time tonight.""What? Why would you do that?""Why not? I think I've delayed the contract signing. I'll get my lawyer to prepare the contract as soon as possible. How do you want anyone to believe we are in a serious relationship when you still go around with old bats like Mark?" Enrique fumed.He was so angry, when he saw Mark kissing Lila, he had the strangest urge to knock out the old man's teeth. How could he cheat on his wife like that?Enrique convinced himself that he would have been

Grace dressed casually in red sweatpants and a sweatshirt and Albert did his flawless makeup for her. Her long brown wig and ice grey contacts in place, she left Stunning Agency to find Enrique leaning on his black Sedan. He roamed his eyes all over her figure and smiled appreciatively."You look good even in a casual attire like this," Enrique smiled."Thanks, you look great too. Are you coming straight from church?""Yeah, contrary to what many people think about me, I'm actually a serious Christian. I never miss a Sunday service. Let's go," he said opening the car door for her.Grace and Penny had never been actively engaged in any religious beliefs while their parents were alive. When they started living with Camila and her husband, they had been allowed to attend church.As the years went by, Camila forbade them from doing so. She couldn't risk them mixing up with others and telling them the truth.They arrived at the same clothing store Enrique had taken her to the other day. "
