What did dinner say to Aryan? "I'm feeling stuffed, I should take my leave!"
"What do you mean?" Aryan asked Maya, his mind racing to understand her words. "I mean I can't go to dinner with you. Remember when I mentioned that my day wasn't planned yet? Well, it is now. I'm truly sorry," Maya explained. Aryan felt a pang of disappointment; he had meticulously planned the evening, even making reservations at his favorite restaurant. "I understand. Just let me know when you're ready to make it up to me," Aryan said, mustering a smile despite his disappointment. Maya continued to apologize, expressing her regret. Aryan let out a sigh. "Like I said, let's focus on getting you under those bright lights. It's Saturday, remember?" he redirected Maya's attention to the task at hand. Maya followed Aryan's lead, and the photo shoot began. To her surprise, it didn't take long for her session to wrap up, not even two hours. "Wait, that's it? For the day?" Maya asked Aryan, who had just shouted, "It's a wrap!" moments ago. "Yes, that's it. And today is..." Aryan pause
As they waited for Mr. James to finish up his work, Maya turned to Elena and whispered, "You know, Elena, I brought you along for another reason too. I thought having a beautiful and charming colleague like you by my side would make Mr. James more inclined to agree." Elena's eyes widened in realization, and she couldn't help but chuckle. "So, I was your secret weapon to charm the CEO, huh?" Maya grinned mischievously. "Well, let's just say you added an extra touch of charm to the whole situation. But hey, don't worry, I promise I won't steal your crush away from you." Elena laughed, feeling relieved. "Thanks, Maya. I appreciate the honesty. Let's see how this little adventure unfolds then!" As Lily made her way back home after the coffee, she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. She kept glancing at her phone, eagerly waiting for the text from Maya. Every passing moment felt like an eternity, and her mind was filled with endless possibilities of what Maya's mischievous p
Mr. James' question hit Maya like a sledgehammer, causing her to stutter as she tried to come up with an excuse. "Oh, yeah. This is Lily. What are you doing here? I thought you were busy at work?" Maya redirected the question towards Lily, hoping to shift the focus away from herself. Lily didn't have a convincing lie to tell, as she had simply followed Maya's instructions. Now Maya was putting the spotlight on her. "Well... I guess work wasn't as busy as I expected. I actually finished up a few moments ago and decided to hang out here. That's what I was about to do," Lily explained, gesturing towards her meal. "Well... we'll see. I hope we're included in that meal?" Maya playfully asked, attempting to steer the conversation away from the topic of a thief. "So... Lily, right? Why were you hiding and not coming out when we called?" Mr. James inquired. Lily froze, realizing she was running out of excuses. Maya, noticing Lily's predicament, jumped in to assist. "Who wouldn't hide? I
"Who's at the door?!" Maya called out, her voice echoing from the bathroom where she had been taking a bath. Lily hesitated, unsure of how to respond. She hadn't met Mr. Tony before, but she knew he wasn't the same person who had left just moments ago. "I'm not entirely sure, but I think it might be the other billionaire twin!" Lily replied, her voice filled with uncertainty. Upon hearing this, Maya's heart raced with disbelief. "What?! How did he manage to find me here?" Maya thought to herself, swiftly exiting the bathroom in a state of shock. She hastily grabbed the first dress she could find and made her way towards Lily. "If it's really him, I'm definitely calling the police!" Maya declared, her mind filled with apprehension. Maya joined Lily in front of the video doorbell, staring at the screen in disbelief. "How did he even discover my home address?" Maya wondered aloud, her fingers hovering over her phone as she prepared to dial the authorities. However, Lily intervened be
The next day, as the sun began to set, Maya anxiously waited outside her apartment for Mr. James to pick her up. She couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. The thought of visiting his billionaire mansion for dinner was both thrilling and intimidating. Finally, a sleek black car pulled up in front of Maya, and Mr. James stepped out, dressed in a sharp suit. Maya's breath caught in her throat as she took in his impeccable appearance. "Good evening, Maya," Mr. James greeted her with a warm smile. "You look stunning tonight." Maya blushed and returned the compliment. "Thank you, Mr. James. You look quite dashing yourself." As they made their way towards the car, Maya couldn't help but admire the luxurious vehicle. "Wow, this car is something else! It's like a mobile palace on wheels." Mr. James chuckled. "Yes, it's quite extravagant, isn't it? But wait until you see the real palace." Maya's eyes widened with anticipation. "You mean your mansion? I can't even imag
The next day, Monday, Maya arrived at work with a spring in her step. As she entered the modeling hall, she was sighted by Elena. "Hey! Elena Davis, good morning!" She exclaimed with a grin. "Good morning, Maya. How was your weekend?" she asked, starting the conversation with a friendly tone. "It was fine. You know, I had dinner with the boss yesterday," Maya vented, expressing her mixed feelings. Elena squealed with joy, her eyes filled with genuine happiness for Maya. "Girl, that's amazing news, Maya!" As they continued chatting, Aryan joined them with a warm smile. "Good morning, ladies. I heard some exciting news. Maya, congratulations on the promotion/marketing job offer. I heard the boss' brother offered it to you. I guess we will both be working double shifts now." He jested. Maya beamed with gratitude. "Thank you, Aryan. But how did you know about the job offer?" She asked, curious about the source of the information. "Oh... well, Tony's P.A., John, is a close friend of
James grinned mischievously. "You guys have already met? Well, that certainly makes things easier. Allow me to introduce you properly then. Maya, this is Aunt Loretta. Aunt Loretta, meet Maya, one of our finest models as you already know her to be. But apart from that, she's also my friend." "Friends, huh? not bad!" Aunt Loretta exclaimed smiling. Maya's jaw dropped in disbelief. Her mind raced to process the connection between the charming woman she had been conversing with and James' Aunt Loretta. How could she have missed this? The pieces of the puzzle started to fit together, and Maya couldn't help but feel a mixture of surprise, excitement, and curiosity. As Maya and Aunt Loretta locked eyes, there was an unspoken understanding between them. Maya sensed a warmth and genuine affection emanating from Aunt Loretta, despite the negative description the twins had shared with her. It was as if the stories Maya had heard did not align with the woman standing before her. "Well, since
Laughter filled the air as Maya, Lily, Aunt Loretta, Mr. James, and Tony settled around the beautifully set dining table. The room was adorned with elegance, and the atmosphere was vibrant with anticipation. Aunt Loretta, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, turned to Maya and asked, "So, Maya, how did you end up meeting these Makin brothers and becoming friends with them?" Maya couldn't help but chuckle at the question. "Well, it was rough and crazy, I must say." James and Tony quickly chimed in simultaneously, "It was indeed rough and crazy!" They exclaimed. Maya chuckled and continued. "But it all started when I was in need of a job to pay the bills. Lily here told me about Tony's company, the M.T boutique. I thought, 'Why not give it a shot?' So, I applied online for a job offer, but they kept rejecting my application." Tony interjected with a playful grin, "Yeah, we thought we could keep her away, but she was persistent!" Maya laughed and continued, "Oh, I wasn't going to
