CHAPTER 2: GIRL ON FIRE

Megan's POV

So after I told Sir Antonio that his girlfriend was here, I decided to go bury myself in the library since there was no more work for the time being. I just needed to rest and enjoy reading a novel. I buried myself in my novel and read.

I later, realized it was almost dinner time and had to prepare dinner. At exactly 7 p.m. sharp, I was done with preparing dinner. Roast pork with crackling that could break your teeth and an abundance of roasted vegetables and pasta. The smell of the food was so succulent even I was salivating.

I called Antonio for dinner and served him the food. He munched on the food, I could not tell if he was hungry or because he was loving the food because the way he was munching on the food left me with a lot of questions.

Antonio: Thank you, you should cook like this more often. 

I didn't even reply except fake a smile. The dinner ravenously filled his belly now his talking nonsense. This guy is going to be the death of me. He stays home one day and I feel like I have to quit my job. I cleared the table and cleaned everything and decided to retire to my room.

Oh, I had actually forgotten that today I didn't call Mitch. I mean that girl is my everything. She is the reason I had to be here. 

📲 My deputy parent ha ha ha

📱hahaha, my first child, how are you today?

📲 I am fine, just tired. I had a lot of school work today and how was your day at work today? 

📱Ok, love, my day was so boring. The boss was at home and pissing me off like hell.

📲 hahaha, I don't think it was that bad kkk

📱 Ohh, it was. Believe me, he's the last person you would want to spend the day with.

📲 Shame kkk I feel for you. 

📱Anyway good night love. Let me retire to bed and study hard ok.

📱ok, good night.

Antonio's POV

I woke up in the morning, and I went for a jog then to the gym. After, I did my morning routine and prepared for work. I ate and had Herrera drive me to work. Just when I was about to start to delve into my work I decided to call my cupcake Hanna. 

📱Hanna my love

📲 Hey

📱 Is that how you answer me now?

📲Sorry love, I was getting settled. How are you?

📱I am fine, when are coming back home? I mean, your contract in the States is ending in a couple of days right. I have a lot I want to do with you this side. 

📲Ummm Antonio love, am not coming back yet. I renewed my modeling contract to a year. 

📱And you're telling me this now? A 2months contract renewed to a year? 

📲 No, No I was going to call you and tell you that. 

📱It's fine, Goodbye.

I slammed the phone down, I mean, I was going to propose and marry her sooner than I thought because of my father's stupid wish. Where am I going to get a woman to marry on such short notice? No one, not even the dumbest person can agree to get married in a month from nowhere. 

But I think if I can get to have a contract marriage that will be better. That way both the girl and I will gain something. I will offer her maybe 3million dollars and she can be my wife for 6months and will divorce after that. Wow, that even sounds more stupid than I thought. 

Ummmmm but still where will I get that person in such a short time. A person that will be easily convinced and know the plan. Eish. This is awkward, not only to me but even to anyone. It seems kind of a weird plan. 

At around 5p.m I left my workplace. There was not too much work today. Thanks to my PA he's such a good workaholic. I felt tired and went straight home. I normally arrive home at 10/11 p.m due to huge amounts of workload. I arrived home around 5.45 p.m and I heard an Alicia Keys tune "GIRL ON FIRE" from the kitchen and my maid singing along.

She's just a girl and she's on fire

Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway

She's living in a world and it's on fire

Filled with catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away

Oh, oh oh oh oh

She got both feet on the ground

And she's burning it down

Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

She got her head in the clouds

And she's not backing down

This girl is on fire

This girl is on fire

She's walking on fire

This girl is on fire

Looks like a girl but she's a flame

So bright she can burn your eyes

Better look the other way

You can try but you'll never forget her name

She's on top of the world

Hottest of the hottest girls, say

Oh, oh oh oh oh

We got our feet on the ground

And we're burning it down

Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Got our head in the clouds

And we're not coming down... 

This girl is on fire

This girl is on fire

She's walking on fire

This girl is on fire

Everybody stares as she goes by

Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes

Watch her as she's lighting up the night

Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl

And it's a lonely world

But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

This girl is on fire

This girl is on fire

She's walking on fire

This girl is on fire

Oh, ....

Jackpot, I analysed her to see if she can be the perfect candidate I want. I know she's smart and I think she can pull it off. "So, are you on fire?" I said startling her from her musical. "Sorry, sir. I didn't know you'll be home early. Dinner will be served soon". She said in a bit of a fright.

"But should I report to you on what time I should get back from work? Just because I come home late, it doesn't mean that you'll do whatever you want here! Are we together?" I said strongly. 

"Yes, yes, yes sir". she stammered as she answered looking down. 

"In fact, I have a new job proposal for you. You'll be joining me for dinner tonight and I'll explain everything to you". I said, whilst I rethink my plan. Anyway, I'll see how it goes at dinner.

"Okay". she said in a shocking manner.

"And another thing, be fast with the dinner. I am famished". I said with a smirk and went up to my room to freshen up.

Megan's POV

Like seriously aaagh. This man is something else. Anyway, I hope I am not getting fired. This guy is unpredictable. I really need this job for crying out loud. It's very unusual to be invited for dinner by the all Alpha male "Antonio Rodriguez". 

I finished with dinner making and rushed to my room to freshen up. I called Antonio and dished up the food. If ever I've been in an awkward situation, this one was going to top up all the situations. Sitting on the same table with your so-called mean boss and waiting to hear what he wants to say. 

"Why are you not eating, did you put poison in this food or what," He said busy pouring his red wine.

"When I said, you'll be joining me for dinner I didn't mean you have to be looking at me whilst I eat or you busy salivating whilst I eat. I can choke with your stares". He sounded so bored

"Sorry sir, just that I am thinking of what you said you want to talk to me about". I replied hesitantly.

"Oh that, eat up. You'll need to hear this while you're really full. So don't worry". He responded. You know whenever someone tells you not to worry that is when you begin to worry feel unsettled. That's the kind of feeling I had when Antonio told me not to worry.

Anyways, I give him the benefit of doubt and try not to worry about anything.
