Be My Girlfriend

Tony came to the Company because he wanted to have some conversation with Liana about what his mother told him. He sat down in his office waiting patiently for liana to show up when he heard a knock on the door.

“Come in” He muttered.

Liana stepped in. As soon as she saw him, she bowed her head down and greeted him, he answered and asked her to sit.He stood up from his seat and moved closer to her, he was about to touch her when she stood up, he pinned her down and looked at her, his breath tickled her soft skin.

“What are  you doing, sir?” She asked

“What am I doing?” Said Tony, hoarsely.

Suddenly he smiled and gripped her hand tightly, “Liana, i want you to pretend to be my girlfriend for a year” He said and looked over her body.

“N..o..no” She stuttered. 

He smirked and pulled her closer to himself, he was about to kiss her when she pushed him away then ran out. He smirked and rubbed his hand on his hair. He left the office and went downstairs when he got there, he met Liana and Thomas chatting, he frowned and called her but she didn’t hear. He walked towards them and tapped her.

“Miss Liana, are you deaf, can’t you hear I have been calling you for a few minutes now?” He scolded her, raising his voice at her.

“I am sorry , Boss” She apologised.

Thomas left and went to attend to the customer, Liana was walking away when he held her hand, he moved closer to her.

“If you don’t accept my proposal I will make your life miserable here” He said in a whisper.

He left her hand and she left to attend to the few of the customers that were standing. Tony was walking out of the Hotel when his phone suddenly rang, he picked up as he hopped into the car then drove out of the building.

On the other hand, Liana was attending to a customer when Lucas commanded to leave whatever she was doing and asked her to take the tray of food that Thomas was holding to take it to room 203, she frowned and did as he instructed. Getting to the front of the door, she knocked on the door then a lady opened it.

“I didn’t call for you so why are you here?” The lady said with a frown.

She checked the number of the room and was confused.

“But Mr Lu..”

She didn‘t complete her statement when the lady shut the door on her. She sighed and glanced at the door.

“What are you still standing there for?” An octave voice asked and hearing the familiar voice, she knew who it was.

She walked towards Lucas  and stared at him for a while before walking her. When she got back downstairs, she heard a woman screaming.

“I need to speak with the manager” The woman shouted.

She rushed to the woman.

“Are you the manager? If you are not, go and call the manager, "the woman said.

“Ma’am you need to calm down” She said and the woman slapped her.

A gasped tore from everyone

Her tantrum attracted the attention of the other customers in the Hotel, disrupting the serenity of the place. Most of them began to murmur. After all, it’s widely believed the customers are always right.

“Calm down, ma’am”  Lucas said as he climbed the stairs.

The man next to the woman consoles her, reaching for the pudgy arms.

Thomas narrated everything to him and he got angry then slapped him.

“We are sorry for everything, ma’am…She’s gonna get you a new order” He assured the woman.

The woman nodded and Lucas turned to Thomas with a frown.

“Why are you still standing here, go get her what she ordered for” He scolded.

Lucan went to the kitchen to get her ordered. The woman and the man went back to their room. Liana shook her slowly and went to the kitchen top check on Thomas. Going  inside, she saw  him serving the food.

“Let me help you with it” She said and collected the tray from him.

She left the kitchen and took the meal to the room.

Hours Later, Liana left the Hotel early, flagged down a cab and got in, she told the driver her destination. After some minutes, she got to her destination, she hopped out of the car and ran to her best friend Rina’s apartment.  When she got to the apartment, Rina wasn’t around so she guessed she hadn’t come back from work.. She tried calling her number but it was not reachable. She sighed and sat down on a chair waiting patiently for her. Not long after, Rina showed up, she was surprised to see her.

“Babe, why didn’t you inform me you are coming here” Rina asked as they hugged themselves.

“I wanna surprise you because it's been a while since I visited you” She replied and Rina nodded..

Rina brought a key to unlock the door and then they went inside. When they got to the room, Liana sat down on the chair while Rina went to the kitchen to get her a cold drink. She was busy pressing her phone when Rina showed up and dropped the drink on the table.

“How was work?” Rina asked as she sat down next to her.

“Fine.. I wanna tell you something” She said and Rina was curious about what she wanted to say.

She narrated everything that happened to Rina.

“That’s bad… I think you should accept his proposal or what do you think?” Rina  asked, gazing at her.

She frowned and shook her head. She dropped the phone on the chair and sighed out loud.

“There are more than a thousand girls in this city, he should pick one of them and not me” She muttered.

Rina  nodded slowly and she took the drink then gulped it.

“C’mon babe, don’t think about it… everything will be fine” Rina assured.

“Hmm” She hummed and nodded.
