As planned, Zayn picked Reese up from her house the following morning and drove her to work. All through the ride, he kept filling her ears with unnecessary chatters, and she kept rolling her eyes all through the ride. Zayn was a talkative and she couldn’t possibly deal with him if she ever agreed to his request. "Bye, see you after work." She said, when he pulled up in the company’s parking space, and she quickly opened the door without waiting for his response.She jumped out of the car, and before she could shut the door, He lifted a finger and said. "Wait!""What is it?" She asked. "Uhm… There’s one more condition I didn’t tell you about. It should be part of the contract clause." He said. Lifting her brows, she nodded her head, urging him to continue."I won’t be faithful," he blurted out. "I’d cheat. Just because I don’t believe in love doesn’t mean I won’t have sex.” His lips curled into a smile. “I love sex!" He said exclaimed, proudly. She scrunched up her face. "Sleep

The meeting with the Chinese clients lasted three hours. Fortunately, Axel was able to push thoughts of Reese to the back of his mind, and he was able to pull through the meeting smoothly, without dazing off.Although it was a really tough one, they came to an agreement that was suitable for Perfect Touch Inc. He was back at his office and was about to go out again for the meeting with the marking team, which they had adjourned to today. They had already come up with a marketing plan for the product that was to be launched the next day—foundation with SPF—but after giving it a second thought, he realized that the plan wasn’t good enough, and they had to come up with another one quickly.After the long meeting with the Chinese clients, his head was on fire from thinking so deeply and hard, and he needed to rest his brain before the next meeting.But he couldn’t. He had no time to rest. They had to get the meeting done with today and come up with a unique marketing idea that would br

Tom was able to get four printing companies to do the jobs, and the employees that would place the labels on the bottles were already at the warehouse, waiting for the companies to deliver the labels. The first batch of labels arrived in two hours, and everyone got to work. Axel kept going around, supervising and shouting at them to work faster. They were too slow, and if they continued at that pace, they might not be able to finish in time for the launch tomorrow. His eye caught the attention of an employee who made a mistake while placing the label and had to discard it and pick another. "Hey you!" He yelled, pointing his index finger at her as he sauntered to where she was, ready to go nuclear on her for wasting the label. "What’s your name, and why can’t you fucking do it right?" He snarled. "I’m sorry, sir." She apologized, the perturbation in her voice palpable."Mr. Griffin," Reese called.He darted his gaze at her. She was sitting on a bench with her legs crossed.She l

Axel was standing there, his heart beating fast against his ribcage as he waited for their response. No, this can’t be. Could it be that she had been engaged all this time and had been cheating on her fiancé?But her cheating on her fiancé wasn’t what was troubling him. It was the fact that she was someone else’s and not his."Uhm, that’s not it." Reese quickly said, cutting through his thoughts. Before he could reply, she continued. "What are you doing outside?"She had to change the subject, because there was no way she could possibly tell him that she and Zayn were planning a marriage of convenience—which she hadn’t agreed to anyway. His eyes narrowed as he gazed at her. It was obvious that she was trying to change the subject because she didn’t want her little secret to be revealed. Nodding his head, he decided to let it go for that moment and confront her later. "I came out to receive some fresh air." He replied to her question. But that was a lie!She was gone for too long

Swinging her head to the side, Reese followed Axel’s line of sight to see Tom standing beside them. Was he a ghost? because she didn’t hear him approaching them. There was not a single sound of footsteps. It was probably the torrent of emotions coursing through her that blocked her senses. "For how long have you been standing there?" Axel asked, staring daggers at him. "I just got here." Tom spoke quickly. He scratched his temple and continued. "About the marketing, the marketing team is still waiting for you at the company."Axel let out an exasperated sigh. "I totally forgot about that." His arms went akimbo. "What do we do now?"“Tom scratched his temple. Should we just go with the earlier devised plan?”"No, I don’t like it." Axel said, shaking his head. "That was why I asked them to come up with another one in the first place.""Would you go and meet them, or should they go ahead with the meeting?" Tom inquired. "I am so tired and frustrated right now." He muttered, running h
