THE TYCOON'S HIRED LOVE CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
"So are you ready for the fun stuff I said we were going to be doing together?" Enrique asked as they walked out of the aquarium.He had noticed her cold and detached behaviour ever since they discussed Margot in the car earlier. He had no idea why she was being so nosy, it wasn't like they were in a real relationship, after all.He still couldn't deny the fact that he was hoping she was curious because she was catching the same feelings he was, but he always had to wake himself up to the fact that she was only an escort he had hired. She was incapable of loving him or anyone else."Yeah, sure," Grace replied in an almost robotic tone. Their car stopped in front of Enrique's mansion and Grace turned to look at him, confused at why they were at his house.They got out of the car and she let Enrique wrap his arms around her waist like a real lover would."Why are we here? You said there's something fun you and I would do, is that—?""I can tell where your mind is headed, but that's not

Enrique finally dropped Grace and Penny at their new home. Throughout the ride, Penny and Enrique had been discussing non-stop. They got on like a house on fire and Grace couldn't help, but feel a kind of happiness at that."I'll leave you guys to do all the kissing stuff," Penny said winking at Grace before running into the house.Grace blushed at her sister's comment and turned to stare into Enrique's hazel-green eyes."Your sister thinks we are for real," he prompted."Yeah, sure," Grace lied."Would it be so bad if it were, though?" Enrique found himself asking. It was becoming clearer to him that he really enjoyed spending time with Lila, he liked how happy she had been throughout the day. She had totally forgotten about her own birthday, but he had gone out of his way to make sure she had an amazing day. Enrique had never felt so determined to make someone else happy."What?" Grace frowned, confused. Was he suggesting a real relationship with her?"It's nothing, go on in, it's

Grace resumed work the following day in a sour mood. The previous day which was Sunday, she had been eager to get a response from Enrique and also see him again.She had assumed he would invite her to Sunday brunch with his family or even take her to church with him as he had done the previous week, but he didn't.Reaching her office, she hung her bag and coat and sitting in her seat. She was just about to let out a sigh of relief for getting to work early enough that day when she heard Enrique's voice through the intercom."Ms Jones, I need you in my office now!"Grace rushed to her feet and made an attempt at smoothing out the wrinkles on her grey dress. Her hair was also a bit out of place and she tried her best to arrange it, but gave up when they didn't budge.Why was she trying to look good? For whom exactly? Mr Black wasn't interested in Grace, he was attracted to Lila's enchanting beauty and at the moment, she wasn't Lila.She knocked before rushing into the large office where

Grace was just about to call Penny to bring one of her suits to Howard Tech when she remembered Penny had an interview with her editor that morning.She realized that she had no other choice, but to look for a suit in the nearest boutique. Just as she was about to enter the elevator to go down, the doors opened to reveal Giselle and Grace sighed in frustration.Once she was inside and the elevator was moving, Giselle asked, "what happened to your designer suits? I thought you had a new one for every single day.""I don't think my choice of outfit is any of your business," Grace snapped."You seem to have got yourself a backbone, I have a feeling I prefer the Grace Jones of before," Giselle frowned."Can you just leave me alone?""I'm sure you must have watched The Cook Room, you should know that Mr Black is way out of your league. His new girlfriend is what you dream of becoming," Giselle said."What I dream of becoming? I think you're speaking for yourself, excuse me," Grace said, le

"I'm looking forward to working with you, Mr Black," Mr Chan, a slim, tall and lanky Chinese man said, shaking Enrique's hand.Throughout that week, they had been very busy, working on the business proposals to merge one of The Black family's most famous restaurant in Beijing.Mr Chan was an incredibly influential businessman based in Beijing. His traditional and outdated way of doing things made it impossible for Enrique to wrap up the deal as quickly as he normally would.Grace had been working like a dog during the last four days, Enrique had become much more irritable at the slightest opportunity. There was always an issue with the drafts she made and then he would have her redo the entire thing once again.Luckily for her, she always had Mr Bradley's help with the numerous tasks she had to handle. Enrique had fired a number of staff from the offices and restaurants he had in the city. Grace had been shocked to witness his ruthless side, firsthand.She couldn't help, but feel wor

Swiping the room card across the lock, Grace rushed into the suite, looking around anxiously for any sign of a break in.On her way there, she had imagined a number of scenarios where a bugler got in and attacked Enrique, leaving him unable to finish the call or answer the ones she had put through."Mr Black? Mr Black, are you alright?" She yelled from the living room.With no response from him, she walked into the bedroom, still with no sight of Enrique around. "Mr Black, are you in the bathroom? If you're there, can you just make a sound, so I can know you're alright?"She still got no response and was forced to say, "I'm going to walk in under five seconds, Sir. I need to make sure you're alright, okay?"Just as she was about to begin counting, she heard a faint, "I'm in the shower," from inside the bathroom.Enrique usually spoke in his rich, deep, Spanish accented voice, but oddly his voice just now sounded low and very much unlike him."I don't hear the sound of the shower, thou

Throughout the flight in Enrique's private jet back to New York, Grace didn't speak to him except he asked her a question."Ms Jones," he called when they arrived at the airport and got into the car waiting for them.She turned in her seat to look at him. He was of course, immaculately dressed in a charcoal black business suit with his jet-black hair styled just perfectly atop his head.Enrique looked so intimidating with the cold stare in his hazel green eyes. Grace replied, "yes Sir?""Whatever happened between us in my suite should stay between us. I wouldn't hesitate to have you fired and ensure that you never secure a job elsewhere if an article about us is published," he threatened."Don't you think you should be apologizing for sexually harassing me like that, Sir? You kissed me without my consent and you're making it seem like I had you set up. I won't be foolish enough to post anything about us, because contrary to what you might think, I have a boyfriend," Grace bragged.She

"You can stop the car here, Sir," Grace said when they reached her former neighborhood. There was no way she could have given Enrique her new address at the house he got for she and Penny. As Enrique had promised, he had bought her a new collection of business attires.He had wanted to get about twenty different suits, but Grace had insisted that ten was just enough."Why don't we just stop you directly at your house? Wouldn't you have to walk there if you stopped here?" Enrique frowned."It's alright, Sir. I have some errands to run," Grace said, unclipping her seatbelt."Okay, then. Have some roses delivered to Lila's address, I'm heading to her place now," Enrique said."Of course, Sir. I mean, Enrique," Grace said and rushed out of the car with the shopping bags.The chauffeur took out her luggage and she waved them both goodbye. Once she was sure they were out of sight, she quickly hailed a cab and told the driver her address.She had to get to the house before Enrique did and al
