Contractual Romance 10
I barely slept well last night as all I saw in my dreams was Anthony kissing my cheek, repeatedly. I was still stunned up until now about the sudden kiss. The way he pulled me close to his body and how warm he felt, plus the way his lips felt on my skin was something from a fever dream. I was still feeling hot from the memory of the kiss. It may not mean anything to him but it did to me.I pulled my suit jacket by the hems when the elevator stopped and the doors slid open. I stepped out and started walking, only to notice the way people stared at me and how low their voices were as they did. I bowed my head a bit to take a better look at them and strained my ears to hear what they were saying but all I got were whispers and finger points.“She's finally here!”I shook to a stop at Anthony's loud voice. I raised my head and shifted my eyes forward. There he stood with a bouquet. My heart skipped a beat and confusion followed as I tried to make out what he was planning. This fool needed

Anthony's POVI was feeling hungry from all the work I'd been doing since I arrived. It was already lunchtime and I needed a break, even if it was just five minutes before I returned to continue doing my work. Besides, the important meeting I was supposed to be having wasn't looking successful at all.I rubbed my nose and exhaled before rising. I grabbed my suit jacket from the back of my seat and slipped it on then took my phone, followed by my wallet. “I'll go check if Sandy will have lunch with me,” I said as I walked to the door. I opened it and left the office. I nodded at my secretary across the hallway and turned my body toward Sandy's office door.Before I got close, I saw something that made me stop walking. Sandy had a transparent part attached to her door which made me see the back of a man. With the way she was smiling and speaking to him, it was as if she knew him but what caught my attention was the way they were holding hands. I wasn't sure if it was a handshake but fr

Anthony's POVAs soon as I parked my car in front of the restaurant, I turned off its engine and glanced at Sandy who acted as if she didn't realize we were already at the restaurant. She was just focused on her phone, smiling at whatever was displayed on her screen.“We're here,” I announced and she just spared the restaurant a one-second glance before looking at her phone and tapping on it.“Hm,” she said.I sighed. “What's got you smiling like that?”“Oh… it's Mr. Flintwood.”At the mention of his name, my appetite left. I glared at the phone and then at her. I was trying to understand why he was making her smile the way she was doing.“What do you mean by that?” I asked and she dropped the phone. Finally.“We exchanged numbers after he left your office and we spoke before you came into my office. He's so good-looking, don't you think? He's the only handsome guy I know that works at the company.”My heart felt a sharp pain when she made mentioned him being the only handsome employe

Anthony's POVOur first date was just in a few minutes and I was nervous because I needed our plan to work and hoped that someone spotted us and took pictures. The more hours went by, the more I realized that I needed to make this plan successful enough for my father to believe in and give me my right.While I buttoned up my dress shirt, my phone lit up on the vanity before me. I stared at it and saw a pop-up message from Vanessa; one of my flings. I smirked and picked up my phone. Once the device was unlocked with my face, I read her message which was asking if we could meet and fuck as always. I was down for a night with her since I was stressed and needed sexual relief.I typed back a response that we would meet soon and hit send then finished dressing. This was the first time I was doing such a thing with my best friend and it was so awkward. Awkward in the sense that it would be difficult seeing her as nothing more than a friend. I didn't even have the guts to imagine us kissing

Anthony's POVWe were now at Subway for her to get her dose of unhealthy overseasoned food. As soon as I parked, she jumped out of the car, making me chuckle. I got out and followed her into the fast-food restaurant. The bright lights and smell of fried foods made my stomach churn but I had to hold myself from throwing up.I noticed that people were looking at us and I wouldn't blame them, we were two expensively dressed coupl— Friends walking into a cheap place. “Hi, welcome. What would you like to order?” I snapped out of my thoughts when I realized that we were at the counter. Sandy excitedly gave her order to the girl behind the counter who I noticed was eyeing me like every other woman usually did. I had to hold myself back from flirting back because of Sandy and our plan. So, to put a stop to it, I wrapped my arms around Sandy's front and kissed her cheek.“Are you sure that's all you want, baby?” I asked to the hearing of the girl.“Uh… I… Do you also want something?” Sandy a

Sandy's POVOh, my God!Anthony just kissed my neck. He pinned me to his car. He made me feel his body more than once! My heart was racing more than ever! This was not happening! It had to be a dream.This date had started with a spiral of nervousness after I wore the dress and it had been the sexiest thing I had ever put on around him. The dress had left me wondering what he would think but my heart crashed into my gut when I saw a nonchalant look on his face, even throughout dinner with him, he didn't act like I was dressed so differently around him. All he cared about was if we were being followed.Anthony hadn't said one word since we started driving home and I was in a way glad because I didn't want to say anything to embarrass myself. The only thing that filled the confinement of the car was the soft music playing on the radio.I sighed and my phone vibrated in my purse. I had a feeling it was Trent and that put a smile on my face. I could remember how charming he sounded when w

Just like every day, I was occupied with working to the point that my feet hurt from walking around and standing in meetings with Anthony. His company never had a day when no one worked tirelessly which made me wonder how no one saw Anthony as a good boss even though he hardly interacted with his staff. Even through the stress of work, some people had time to gossip and spread rumors; which was good but not at all good. There were rumors about me finally showing my true colors as a gold digger, how I have been plotting to have Anthony for myself and that I was the reason he didn't look at the single women the way they dreamt about. It irked me and made me wonder if he was aware too.Being friends with someone who was higher than me in social status and financial status was not as easy as people would think. Sometimes, the reason I hated when Anthony paid for my stuff was because of what people would think or see. Just fake-dating him brought out the worst in his staff, even from the

“Is that so?”I rolled my eyes at Anthony when he responded to what Trent had said. I tried to move out of his grip but tightened his hold on me and sent me a warning look. I sighed and leaned on his body. I blushed when I felt his hand start to move softly on my lower back, almost close to the top of my ass. I gulped and lifted my head off his chest.“I will take my leave now. I still have some paperwork left to check,” Trent said and I saw him walk into my line of vision. I offered him a smile and he returned it before leaving the office. The moment I was certain he was out of earshot, I moved out of Anthony's arm and smacked him on the shoulder.“Really? What did I tell you about PDAs at work?” I asked, trying to juggle his memory.“When it comes to him, I'll act like the perfect boyfriend. I don't trust that man, especially since he's been sent here by my dad, I've said this before. He seems smart and I don't like it.”I rolled my eyes and went to the desk where the food bag was.
