My stomach rumbled as we drove to my flat and Ace made a look.“I asked you to eat at least something, don’t deny that you’re not hungry now Raven. I just heard your stomach rumble.”“Would it hurt if you minded your own business?”“You’re my fiancée I have to make sure you’re healthy.” I glared at him. “At least as my assistant, it’s my duty to make sure you’re well taken-care of.”“Oh really?” I retorted. “I didn’t think so when you were making me work endlessly to death.”“I was sort of pissed that you didn’t kiss me that day.” He sighed. “Let’s not do this now. I’m taking you to the closest restaurant right now for you to eat something, I’m not going to listen to anything you say. You will eat something.”“I prefer a diner.” He narrowed his eyes at me. My expression matched his.“Fine.” He mumbled.I gave Ace directions to a diner I usually ate at. They had great food even though it looked mediocre. To my rich and snobbish soon-to-be husband, it would look low-class and he’ll prob

“You wanna go out for lunch at that Asian restaurant?”“The one five blocks from my flat? Or is there a new one?” I asked her.She chuckled. “The one close to your apartment. Come on Raven please?”“Uh..” I had been avoiding Lana. I felt bad that she knew nothing about my engagement. Ace found ways to block the news from reaching her and her family. But I was afraid she was going to find out soon. Avoiding her would also raise suspicions too. I just have to go this time. “Sure Lana. I just have one or two things to finish up and I’ll be out soon.”“Great. Can’t wait to see you.”She hung up and then I heaved a sigh. “What’s wrong?’ Ace asked, entering my room, with just his towel around his waist and his hair was wet. The temperature in the room suddenly rose up.“Do you mind going back to your room and putting on some clothes?”“From the look on your face, you’re enjoying the sight.” He smirked and I tried to look anywhere but his face. “you can’t even hold eye contact.”“Just go and

My door rang right after I had finished rearranging my flat and making it look more like home again. I took in deep breaths and answered my door.“Hi.” Todd was smiling when I opened the door. He had something in his hand, plastic bags. “I brought snacks.”“Come in.” I let him inside the flat.“Nice place.”“Thank you.” I let Todd sit while I got him something to drink. “So what’s up?” I started.Todd brought something up about the stuff he did when he moved away after we broke up and how he missed me. I knew they were all lies but at least I was being entertained by those lies. Then he brought up those fun times we had when we were dating.“Do you remember the time when you poured dye in the swimming pool while the swim team was practising and everyone on the team turned black?”“Oh I remember.” I chuckled. “Those racists.” I said under my breath. “But it was fun.”“Yeah. You showed them not to mess with you. It was really cool. It was menacing but it was very bold of you.”“Of cour

“Raven whether you like it or not, we’re going to that event.” “A classy event full of rich and mostly snobby people from your old Secondary school for rich kids. Is that an event I want to attend? No Lana.” “Secondary school?”“High school is what you call it.”“Raven, please go with me. Please.” She pleaded. “For the last time Lana, no. Don’t worry about leaving me here alone, I’ll be fine. It is my flat after all.” “If you go with me, I could help you find people interested in art and maybe they’ll let you paint for them. Or you could find an actual job.” I stared at Lana through the mirror. “I’ll go with you, for the people who like art. But I’m not dressing up in fancy clothes.” I said to her and rushed to my room to put on something simple. Black leather pants and a white tank top with a black leather jacket matched with black boots. I applied little makeup and tied up my hair nicely to give me that biker girl look. Yeah, I like bikes. But I don’t own one. “I’m ready.” I sa

I stopped and pulled back when our lips almost touched. “I’m sorry. I have to get back inside.” I said. Ace cleared his throat and nodded. “Before I forget, please don’t tell Lana you’ve already met me.” “Sure. It was nice meeting you Ace.” I said and ran inside before he could reply. My heart was racing but I managed to calm it down. When I entered the gymnasium, the party was almost over and I was glad that it almost was. “Raven, what took you so long?” Lana asked. Her friends weren’t at the table and I was glad. “I got lost?” Lana gave me a questioning look. “I also didn’t make the effort of looking for the washroom fast because I didn’t have to use it urgently.” “Raven.” She dragged my name. “Misbehaving won’t help you at all if you’re looking for clients and a job.” “I can find myself a job on my own Lana.” I used a firm tone. “But sure, I’ll need the clients you’ll hook me up with.” Lana has been trying to help me find a job and I appreciated her efforts but since she’s a r

“What was that about? I have never seen you so nervous before.” Lana laughed at me. “What are you talking about? I was not nervous.” I denied. “I just didn’t feel like talking.” “Right.” She kept laughing. “Alright, get out of my car and quit laughing at me.” I parked in front of her flat building, where she owned a big penthouse. “You know, if you’re interested, I could be your wing woman.” She teased and winked at me. “That’s it. I’m kicking you out of my car.” I playfully pushed her. “Ok. I’m leaving. I wouldn’t be treated this way if this was my car. It’s be the other way round.” “Well, it’s not. Bye now.” She opened the door and got out. “I’ll call you later. Let me know how the interview goes, okay?” “Okay. And get your car repaired so that I can stop using my free time to drive you around. Or get a chauffeur or something.” “I hear you. Good night.” I nodded and drove off back to my flat. Kicking off my boots after entering, I jumped on the sofa and decided to fall asl

“Calm down and tell me everything that happened.” I nodded and began my story. I sat down for about two hours before I was called in. I thought maybe they had changed their minds about offering the job or maybe I had missed the interview. I almost gave up and walked out. Then a lady came to me, telling me Mr. Black wants to see me. I straightened my dress and recited the words that Mama taught Ray and I, before I followed the lady into Ace’s office. Ace was sitting there calmly behind his desk, as if he had been waiting for me. I took the empty seat he offered me in front of his desk. Ace stared right into my eyes and I froze. That was unlike me, but in my defense, he caught me by surprise. He trapped me with his beautiful blue eyes. They reminded me of that night when we almost kissed. Then he glanced at my lips and I glanced at his, remembering our little moment yesterday which I ruined. Ace cleared his throat, startling me. Then I realized he just messed with my mind. I did a gre

“So you mean to tell me that he denied you the job just because of your outfit?!” Lana asked in disbelief for the tenth time. I groaned. “I’m sorry I asked again but I know Ace very well, he wouldn’t do that.” “Well, he did Lana. Can we move on to the next topic?” I lied to Lana not wanting to tell her about the reason why Ace didn’t give me the job. I didn’t “You look and sound terrible. We’re not going to move on to the next topic because there isn’t any next topic. What we’re going to do is to call Ace and give him a piece of our mind.” I rolled my eyes. “I’m sure you already did that but we’re going to do it again.” She paced in front of me while I fixed my eyes on the TV. “Don’t make things worse for me. Who knows what he’s capable off? What if he calls other companies to tell them that I’m incompetent? And that I didn’t kiss him.” I mumbled the last part, making sure Lana didn’t hear me. “He won’t do that because you have me.” “Let’s just let this go. I’ll think of something
