Chapter Four

Gwyneth’s POV

The entire room was filled with a deafening silence that got me fidget in my seat even more. It's as if they are waiting for me to explain the whole thing to them. What am I getting myself into?

I silently calm myself down before standing up. "If you don't mind, let me excuse both of us for a moment. We're just gonna talk and sort things out first. It's seems like Kalex over here, is having a misconception. We'll explain everything when we get back, I'm sorry. "I said goodbye to them before turning my gaze to Kalex." Follow me.“ Gesturing for him to come with me.

I sashayed on my way out of the room with Kalex hot on my tail. When were out of their sight and into a solace corridor, I whipped my head towards the asshole who just ruined the whole thing.

"What the hell was that for? Are you out of your mind, Kalex? You screwed us up! What are we gonna do now, huh?" I lashed out outrageously at him whilst tugging my hair in extreme frustration.

"What did I do?" He said, feigning innocence which just heightened my annoyance towards him. Fucking excuse of a man!

"Ugh..." What am I gonna do to him?

Is he aware of what he did earlier? It's like telling Sean's parents that I'm a bogus girl. That I'm not their son's girlfriend and just faking everything.

"Okay, let's put it this way. You will explain to them that I was your girlfriend, and we're over for a very long time ago and that we just met again today since the day that we cut ties together. Did you get it? You had to do this to regain my dignity, Kalex. This is the very first time that I screwed up in my job, all thanks to you, tch.” I may look like a bitch the way I acted, but it's just too much for me to take in. I mean, I worked for it but now it seems like it'll be put to waste. The only way to save my sorry ass, is for Kalex to make amends for what he has done back there.

"Why would I fucking do that?" he asked nonchalantly leaning his back against the wall.

"Because I told you to—"

"Three hundred dollars." he cut me off.

"Are you serious?" Scrunching my face, I can't believe it in my own ears. He even has the audacity to ask me that hefty amount?

"Pay me first before I grant your wish, baby." A lopsided smirk was on his face now while crossing his muscular arms over his chest, taunting me. What a swell head.

This man is getting into my nerves. Ugh!

"And why would I pay you? You were the one who suddenly appeared on the picture and create havoc over there by telling the clueless folks that I'm your fucking girlfriend. I could possibly lose my job because of you Kalex but here you are, taking advantage on the situation." I said with trembling hands.

"Because you really are my girlfriend. Didn't I sign a contract with you just a while ago? Have you forgotten about it already? Oh c'mon baby, you are too young to be forgetful."

"Shut the hell up if you still love your balls." I threatened.

"Besides, Sean is my cousin and I can't stand seeing you having an affair with him while I'm in front of you. If you really want to cheat behind my back, it’s fine with me whatever floats your boat, but make sure you do it with someone else, not my cousin or anyone related to me."

"What the hell is your problem?" I drawled with my mouth wide open. I don't have any idea why he became like this all of a sudden.

"You are my contract girlfriend, so why are you hitting on someone else?" disappointment laced in his now clouded features.

"He paid me to be his pretend girlfriend, Kalex. And have you forgotten? I'll only be your girlfriend up to 5pm, and what time is it now again? It's already 8pm so basically you're not my responsibility as of now. Do you get my point?" I forced him to understand what I'm trying to say.

I guess, he didn't really understand our contract at all.

"But he's my cousin, Gwyn."

"Even if you are his cousin, you still did something wrong. Don't you know that I am meeting his parents?" terror overtook my face and I am now starting to hate this guy.

"I know, that's why my mom forced me to come here just to get some clues on how I should behave the moment they're meeting my girlfriend. Pretty annoying right? If she hadn't just really frozen my account, I would have never gotten my ass in here." He complained like a pampered child who didn't get what he wanted.

I heave a sigh and take time to ponder my thoughts for a moment. "Okay whatever reason it is why you are here is none of my concern. Just make sure to clear things up to them when we get in there. Do I make myself clear?" Squinting my hazel eyes at him.

It takes him few more seconds to respond "Who says we're going back inside?" he asked.

"What?" Gaping my mouth.

He beamed at me before grabbing my hand. "I'll run you away from here whether you like it or not." he finally said and forcibly pulled me without even waiting for my confirmation.

I was about to yell at him when he suddenly ran, dragging me with him. And I couldn’t complain to him for I'm so busy finding ways not to trip on my heels.

Ugh! Prepare yourself for my wrath later asshole. You'll regret messing up with me.
