After driving for over forty minutes in silence, Grace finally asked the question that had been on her mind."Where exactly are we going?" "Yesterday at dinner, you told me you hadn't ever enjoyed a normal childhood. I'd like to give you an amazing experience today, show you what you've been missing,""You remembered that? I just said that without thinking too much about it," Grace blushed."I take everything you say seriously, Lila. We are going to the beach, that's why I asked Mr Barrett to go home. I wouldn't want him seeing you in a swimsuit.""What? Swimsuit, beach?""Yes, we're going to the beach. Remember David Stone, my cousin?""Of course I do. The fact that he kissed my hand caused the both of us to trend for a while on social media. What about him?""His family have several hotels, just like the one I used for the anniversary party the other time. We're going to one of their hotels which has a private beach. David allowed me exclusive access to it for the entire day," Enri

"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

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

"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

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
