Grayham’s POV

“I’ll see you tomorrow.” Eric waved and stepped out.

I looked at the plate he was kind enough to bring to the counter and then resolved to wipe my hands with a rag.

My eyes wandered to the cookie pantry beside me. There were about twenty pieces left out of the fifty I baked this morning. I couldn’t be more proud.

It was past 2 pm so if my predictions are right, I should be able to sell the remaining cookies by nightfall.

Who would have thought that the CEO of Wilson Industries would be reduced to a cookie seller?

Well, at least I’m proud I made those cookies from scratch, and trust me, they taste so well.

I finished wiping my hand with the rag and then picked up Eric’s dirty plate. Once I clean the dishes in the kitchen, I’ll grab lunch in my room, and rest for as long as I can before customers show up.

The café is mostly slow during the day. It’s more active in the mornings and evenings towards then at night.

The clicking of her footstep caused me to straighten. My br

    Grayham’s POV“Okay….” I sat and then spread out my printouts on the table. Any moment from now, Miles is going to walk in and I can’t wait to show him what I’ve been working on.We agreed to meet tonight at our usual spot, the private lounge. He’s going to give me a weekly report on the state of the company while I give him a heads up and how to carry on in the coming week.There’s not much to say about the café so I don’t think he’ll expect a report. However, I wish someone who knew who I was might want to know that I was making progress with baking.The glass door automatically opened and Miles walked in dressed in one of my fancy leather jackets. I don’t know why the thought of tearing him into pieces since he was rocking my clothes didn’t cross my mind today.Maybe because he was looking quite dashing. He got a new haircut and- I immediately turned away. I better not be staring.Miles sat next to me on the sofa and I felt it heat up almost immediately.“What are these designs?”

    Mile’s POV“Are you sure about this?” Henry adjusted his silk tie and then leaned toward me.I laughed. “This is the hundredth time you’re asking whether I’m sure about this and believe me, I’m very sure. You’ve got this.”He sat up and began to stroke his tie while trying to keep his breath in check.I never imagined that Henry’s anxiety was going to be so evident. He’s a brilliant businessman and in the last 40 days that I’ve known him, his ideas shine through and his solutions are practical and long lasting.I just hope Grayham keeps him in the long run.Henry and I have spent the previous week working on a new business proposal for our potential clients.Our meeting with them was slated for a few minutes from now so this morning, I asked Henry to make the presentation on behalf of the Wilson Industries.To be honest, the entire concept was his idea and all I had to do was sit tight during the mock presentation with the board members and pretend to cross the Ts and dot the Is.I gl

  • THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    THE PROBLEM WITH SHIRLEY

    Grayham’s POVI tried to turn but it felt impossible.My eyes opened and I remembered that I had spent the night on the couch. I rolled down the blanket, got up, and turned off the alarm clock.I darted my gaze to the bed and saw Shirley wrapped up comfortably like a sausage. The alarm clock was right above her head but the loud buzzing did nothing to her.Last night, she showed up and requested to spend the night here, and out of courtesy or should I say she gave herself liberty, Shirley took a bath and ended up on the bed so I had no choice but to stick to the couch.I went to the bathroom, cleaned up, and made my way to the café. There, I cleaned the whole place, mopped the floors, and by 8 am, I had flipped the ‘open’ sign.While waiting for the day’s first customer, I went to the kitchen to commence baking. I would be making plain cookies. They say if you’re working on something new, start from the easiest.I mixed the batter just as I’ve seen in my tutorial videos. I covered it

    Mile’s POVI got out of bed and then stretched my legs. It was another day to hit the office and today, I wasn’t feeling too overwhelmed like always.I stood up and then strode toward the dressing mirror to tousle my messy hair.I came to a standstill when I caught my reflection in the mirror. My jaws dropped to the floor and my hands began to tremble.In the mirror was a reflection of my face. Not Grayham’s face but my original face, the face I had since the day I was born. I blinked repeatedly and cocked my head toward the mirror.Was I dreaming?My original face was staring right back at me and that was when I realized that I wasn’t dreaming.The curse!Did it lift overnight?I gasped and then looked at my hands then I darted my gaze to my whole body.I was back!Back in my body until-A pounding swept through my head. My eyes shut and my whole body began to tremble like a victim of severe electrocution. My intestines clenched and I was forced to go on my knees due to the sudden ex

    Mile’s POV“I’ll leave you two to talk,” Nathan said and stepped aside the moment we walked out of the house.Grayham sighed and then faced me. “Looks like we’ve been doing this whole thing the wrong way.”I folded my arms across my chest. “Honestly, I won’t blame any of us. We’ve consumed too much information and I don’t think anyone broke it down to us the way she just did.”“So you went to Vistas?” Grayham chuckled.I sighed. “If I had known that all I had to do was be myself in your body, trust me I wouldn’t have shown my face there.” Then I lifted a finger. “Do not remind me of that place again.”He laughed. “Oh stop pretending. You sure did have a good time.”“Maybe.”“It’s getting dark.” Grayham glanced at his wristwatch. “You’re quite far from here so you should get home especially now that you have to be yourself, not the reckless and unaccountable Grayham.”I sighed. “You know what? I don’t like your pajamas.” I spat.Grayham frowned. “You gotta be kidding me. They are brand
