Dalia’s POVHis words go over my head.“I could give us a chance but I am engaged. It may not look like it but he is pretty serious,” I don’t know why I feel a sense of pride swelling in me.“Can we be friends?” He asked and I nodded my head without thinking twice. Aren’t we friends? I know I haven’t been the best of friends but...Someone save me from this conversation. I need to get out fast! Emily, Where are you?! “We are already friends. Now we have made it official, I don’t think it would be suspicious if anyone sees us together. I could just introduce you as my brother. Emily’s brother.” I add to make him stop his ramblings about love and what not.He gives me a quick smile. “They wouldn’t be suspicious if we were together.” Finally, he will let me be. “Excuse me,” He says, looking over his back. Just then, I see Emily chatting with Chris while making her way towards the elevators. The man and women from earlier this afternoon, held her clothes, shoes

Dalia’s POV“Wake the hell up Dalia! You are famous!” Emily screamed from the other side of the bed.No, no, no.. I need to sleep. But her excited screams wouldn’t let me. I buried my head further into the pillow. I don’t care if I am famous. I just need three more minutes of sleep.Her hands found the television remote, raising up the volume. It nearly deafens me. “You are on the entertainment news! Alongside West Inc. In cooperation with MELT’s new product. They call it Manhattan’s Peak!” She said dreamily and I was forced to peek out of the layers of blanket. “It says we can place an order to get it. I’ll be the first!” She continued mumbling to herself and I heard shuffling in the background.“What is Manhattan's peak? What headline?” I managed to see her desperately digging into her handbag. Then I glared at the television with all my might. It was the cause of this. No matter what, I won’t be able to get back to sleep. At the sight of myself and Manhattan’s Pea

Dalia’s POVHe just embarrassed me. Although they won’t know who I was seeing as Emily covered me from head to toe.Dimitri gives me a curt nod. “I am sorry, ma’am.”I roll my eyes. What’s with his professional reply and where has he been? “What’s with that attitude and where have you been?”“You are no longer Ms. Dalia Thompson. You are Boss’ wife. I am not allowed to speak casually to you.” Answered Dimitri, like a robot.I scoff in disbelief. “When do you ever speak casually to me?! You know what? You can keep that attitude. I love it,” I sneered sarcastically. Emily will marvel at my sudden change in character.I don’t care.He didn’t say anything and the car was quiet until he suddenly stopped. I look out the window to see where we are. To my surprise, we were at the front entrance of West Inc.“Why am I here?” I ask in panic. I didn’t plan for all this! I didn’t get a reply but Dimitri wasted no time in opening the door. He was practically askin

“The contract,” He suddenly said and my heart sank. He no longer had that mischievous look on his face. He.. he is serious.“It’s at home.” I finally said without looking at him. Looks like we will have to go through all of this again. If he wants to ruin the little connection we have over some contract then...“I have a copy here,” he brings out the document probably from the same place he took out his golden pen. “The contract remains. We have a few rules to go over again.” Then he paused. “I am doing this to help the both of us. I am very particular about... certain things. So here.” He handed me a copy and I scrutinised it. I haven’t seen this contract since the burglary incident. It must be lying in the dust somewhere in my old apartment.I should visit there soon. “What rules?” I ask irritably.He goes into a business mood and I couldn’t help but miss his casual attitude earlier. I thought we were going somewhere.. Why the sudden change? Or maybe he didn’t chan

The attendant glanced uncertainty at the clothes on the rack. They were the most expensive clothes she could find. And she doubted I had the money to purchase them.Well, she is in for a surprise. “All?” I dismissed her confused look.She nodded affirmatively with her hands folded in submission. “All.”I kissed the roof of my tongue while glaring at the labels and price tag on them. They were insanely expensive. I have a black card and I was going to use it.There was no way I’d have come here with a regular card. The label tags read West Inc.Just great.“West? As in West Incorporated?” I spelt it out for her, sighing when she nodded vehemently. She didn’t have to make it so obvious.Then a small smile found its way to her lips. “I have seen you on television.”I was wrong. She wasn’t wondering if I could pay for these clothes. She was wondering why I am here. What am I doing here? I just came out of West Inc. I turned to the clothes from Eros and sh
