Contract Marriage; Fated Love

“Who were you with last night at the restaurant?”

“Huh?”

“Never mind. Get the documents ready.”

“Okay.”

While they were seated in the car, he stole occasional glances at her. When she looked back at him, his heart fluttered and he averted his gaze.

He often found himself staring at her in the office and wouldn’t hear a word of what she had said until she was done talking.

He started seeing her in a different way. He noticed she was beautiful and had perfect curves.

Seven years ago, Emily in her sexiest outfit wouldn’t move him but now, even her office wears looked gorgeous and hot to him.

Noah left his office earlier than usual that day. On his way out, he saw Emily standing by the wall. He asked the driver to pull up. He swallowed hard at her sight. She wore corporate office wears but she looked very appealing to him. Her thin lips, her well curved hips, her breasts, were all inviting and he wished he could reach out to touch them.

“Why are you still here?”

“My car has a fault so I ordered a taxi. I’m waiting for it. Thanks for your concern,” she said and flashed him a smile. The smile melted his heart and broke the defensive wall he struggled to put up while talking to her.

“Get in, I will drop you off.”

“No, thank you. I don’t want to bother you.”

“I said get in. It’s not a problem.”

Was he ordering her or he was just offering her a ride?

Humph! Everything must be done as he instructed. Here he was compelling her to get into his car. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get a free ride though.

“Thank you, President Noah.”

Again, he couldn’t take his eyes off her inside the car. She was just so beautiful and she didn’t leave his mind for a second.

“Thank you sir,” she said and got out of the car. He smiled even before he realized it. He quickly frowned his face immediately and acted like nothing happened.

Noah was having dinner and reminiscing over what happened that day when a message popped up on his phone. It was from Benny. She said she was in his house and wanted to go out with him.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“She’s outside? What for?” he stood up and walked towards the door. Sure enough, Benny was there. She opened the door and walked in, smiling seductively and swaying her hips.

She stopped in front of him, stood on tip toes and kissed him directly on the lips. Then she used her hands to wipe the lipstick mark from his lips.

“Why will you show up this late without telling me?”

“Baby! Is that how you will welcome me to your house? Am I not allowed to come here to see you?”

She broke down in tears.

“I only came to surprise you and because I have missed you. Do I, as your fiancée have to take permission to come to your house? Why are you treating me like this?”

“Don’t come over next time without telling me, is that clear?”

“Baby…”

“Your message read that you wanted us to go on a date tonight, is that right?”

“Yes, but now, you are angry with me for coming. I will just leave.”

“Where do you want us to go?”

“Rossvette hotel.”

“Alright. Let me finish up my dinner.”

“Thank you baby, I love you!”

Shd made to hug him but he brushed her aside and went back to the dinning table. He finished dinner soon and ate an apple which was a daily routine.

He had his bath and got dressed. Benny thought he looked more handsome that evening.

They sat in a quiet section of the hotel. A lot of people focused their attention on them. Benny was very excited. She loved being the centre of attention, now, she would be known as Noah Harper’s fiancée to all and sundry. She could even spot envy in some of the ladies’ eyes. She looked at her finger and smiled at her ring.

Noah, who has been sipping wine in silence all these while, looked around the hotel. The ladies who were staring at him quickly withdrew their gaze.

He noticed his enemy, Jessy at one corner of the hotel with a very beautiful girl. He looked closer and was surprised to see it was Gu Yanxi.

He felt a wave of emotion he couldn’t explain when he saw her with Jessy. It made him highly uncomfortable. Benny noticed the slight change in his facial expression. She traced his line of sight, expecting to see Emily or Grace, but she did not see any of them.

“What’s the matter?”

“I’m alright.”

Some minutes later, he excused himself and went to the restroom. On his way back to the hotel, he bumped into someone. He frowned his face and glared at the person, waiting for an apology.

“Humph! You again?”

It was Gu Yanxi.

“Can’t you apologize?”

“Apologise to an adult who can’t look where he is going?”

Ordinarily, no one would speak to him like that. But for the third time, he wasn’t offended at her rude remark. He only studied her for some time and walked off.

“Is this how powerful he is? Why does Emily even fear him when he can do nothing more than a dead rat? He just walked away!”

Noah wondered what her relationship with Jessy was. It also worried him that he never took offence in anything she said.

Was he interested in her as well?

“Drop her off at her place first,” Noah instructed the driver as soon as they got into the car.

“Baby, I want to stay at your place. I haven’t slept well in days, please, let me sleep close to you.”

“No! Go home tonight.”

“You are always on my mind. Why do you treat me like this Noah?”

“I merely asked the driver to send you home first. What is the problem this time?”
