GR Group!

“I wasn’t staring at you.”Audrey snapped.

“Yeah,sure.”He drawled.

“Just where are you taking me?”

“You’ll know when we get there.”

Audrey sighed,getting fed up with this unclear tiny favor.

“And we’re here.”

She looked out the window to see him pulling up at the front of a mall.

He was taking her to a mall?!

He could have just said so.

Was there any need to act so mysterious?

They got down from the car and Lucien handed his car mobilizer to a valet.

Audrey gawked as they walked into the big mall.She wondered why he had brought her here.

She saw about five attendants hurry up to them.They stood in front of Lucien and bowed,slightly.

“Good morning,Mr Reynolds.”They greeted.

“I need you to get her all dolled up.”He gestured at Audrey.”Make her look presentable to meet my father.”

They nodded,curtly at Lucien and turned towards Audrey.

“This way,ma’am.”

“I’m meeting your father?”Audrey probed, surprised.

“Go with them,we’ll talk about the details later.”Lucien replied,dismissively.

Awefully confused,Audrey went with the ladies to get dolled up.

It took quite some time and she was getting so tired of trying out so many clothes.

After the stylists decided on a dress,they found a shoe to match with it and then,they did her hair and make up.

She had only wanted to spend a night with that man.

She didn’t plan for all these.

***********

Lucien stared at his watch as he paced to and fro.

What was taking them so fucking long?

The head stylist walked out and nodded at him.

“She’s ready now.”

And then,she opened the door and Audrey slowly walked out.

She wore a softly draped silk dress in a dark chocolate colour, exactly like her eyes.Gold hoop earrings drew the eye to that slender neck,her dress clung to her breasts, clearly outlining their alluring shape.His gaze skimmed her flat stomach and lingered on the gentle flare of her hips.Her feet were encased in Gold strappy sandals which made her legs look even more lissom.

Her hair had been done in a ponytail and she had light make up on.

He hadn’t been expecting to see much difference of her.

He thought he had already seen everything about her and she clearly wasn’t his type.

But right now,she looked beautiful,exquisitely beautiful.

He moved closer to her,wanting to hold her,to cup her face and drink every bit of her in.

Recalling who could always pull this reaction out of him made him shake his head.

He blew out air from his mouth.

She had gotten well dolled up.

So what?

He had seen and being with woman of all shape and sizes.

No one…no one would ever make a fool out of him again.

“She looks okay.”He said to the stylist.

‘Okay?’Audrey wondered.

Just okay?

When she had stared at herself on the mirror,she had been impressed even by her own look.

Her confidence was bruised a bit.

“Let’s go.”Lucien snorted with exasperation.

They were escorted out to the car by the attendants.

With how they seemed to know and respect him,Audrey was convinced again that he was wealthy.

As she sat in the car,she wondered if this was a dream or it really was happening.

Everything felt so unreal.

Just yesterday,Josh had broken her heart and her step mother had sold her.

And today,she was in a very luxurious car with a man who seem to have terrible mood swings.

“I need to inform my father tonight that I am in a serious relationship with you.”He announced,his eyes focused on the road.

Audrey’s jaw dropped.”A serious relationship with me?”

“We only need to pretend to be.”He pressed on.

“Is this your tiny favor?”

“Do you want your money or not?”He barked.

Audrey was growing tired of his attitude.

When she didn’t answer,Lucien continued.

“My father is an important personality in this city.He owns GR Group.”

Audrey’s jaw dropped.”GR Group?”

He glanced at her not surprised that she knows of his family’s business.

There was not a single person who didn’t know of it in Chicago.

Audrey was awestruck.

GR Group was one of the biggest companies in Chicago.

And they were involved in so many things.They had a clothing line,perfumes,not to mention but a few,they even had an airline.

Even if she had suspected Lucien was rich,she couldn’t have imagined that he was the son of the richest man in the country.

That only meant the amount she called was really not problem for him.She just had to please him well so she could get that money.

“What do you do for a living?”He asked.

“I work part time and study part time as well.I’m majoring in physiotherapy.”She replied trying her best to be polite with him.

“Alright.That’s really all I need to know about you.He’ll have questions, plenty of them about us and I’ll do the talking.Do not speak until it’s necessary.”

“How would I know when it’s necessary?What if he asks me a question?And do you actually think he’ll fall for this?Now that I think about it,he’s the one who called you this morning and he seemed to have been giving you talks about settling down,and just few hours later, you show up at his house with a girlfriend?It doesn’t make any…”Audrey paused when she saw Lucien glaring at her.

“I never asked for your opinion.”He shaped.

She pouted.

She was only being truthful.

And she was scared that if his father doesn’t fall for this,he might reduce her pay.
