MATEO POV
•~•
She look so pretty and jovial as well, I guessed she owed the agent house rent because of her sullen look.
” You’re Mateo?, Such a nice name “She mumbled and I smiled.
” Thank you, Fleur “I said softly, After some minutes, She’s done showing me all the premises and other things I need to know.
” I think that’s all, I will be going to my room “She mumbled tiredly, I held her hand back and smiled.
” I got to the room and realized there are lots of thing I need to get, I don’t know any supermarket around here, Can you help me with it? ”
” Maybe you should use your map, I’m so tired right now and I don’t have anything to eat at home unless I go to the restaurant, I need to rest first “She turned me down immediately.
” I promise to treat you dinner, And every other thing you will need “I interpolated and her eyes widened.
” Really?, that’s kind of you then, Let’s get a Uber “She offered and I shook my head.
” No need of using a Uber, I have my own car ”
” Oh!…, Alright then “She nodded gently and we both walked towards the car.
FLEUR POV
He look so rich and handsome and kind as well, I wonder where he’s working at or who he’s working for.

” This is your car? “I asked in shock and he nodded.
” Yes, is there a problem? ”
” No, not really, I was wondering why you rented a house here ”
” This place is closer to my place of work, And it’s not bad, The facilities are good and the agent is nice as well ”
” Oh, you’re right about that “I replied gently, He opened the car door for me.
Getting to the supermarket, I helped him choose all what he needed and got some for myself as well.
The attendant took us to the bathroom accessories sections.
” What’s your favorite colour of house footwears and bathroom flip flops “I asked stretching my hand to take the mop, He walked to me and place his left hand on my waist, He moved into me more closer before helping me with it.
My heart fluttered and I smiled.
” Mine is blue, You can take the blue one “He mumbled.
I choose the most pretty ones there and dropped them in the shopping cart.
” You’re not getting yours?.”He asked and I scoffed.
” I don’t think there’s any reasons for me to get footwears since I have mine at home ”
” That means you don’t want to visit me then “He pouted making him look so cute and I picked mine.
” Pick the bathroom slippers as well ”
” But…. ”
” Won’t you take your shower?, After having a long stressful night in my bed? “He whispered in my ears and I cringed.
I pushed him away and laughed.
” I don’t know you “I stuttered and he laughed.
” I’m joking, But take the bathroom slippers ”
” Alright, thank you ”
ZOE POV
LATE AT NIGHT(10PM).
” Dad I’m home “I yelled immediately I entered the living room.
He came out of the kitchen with a glass cup in his hands.
” How are you doing? “He asked softly and I pulled him into a passionate hug.
” I’m good but tired, All thanks to your urgent message “I mumbled rolling my eyes and he sighed.
” You should know that I want the best for you, And you love Gael a lot, So, that’s the reasons why I called, Maybe you can help us “He said softly and I nodded.
” What’s it this time around? “I asked softly and he took a deep breath before taking his seat.
I sat beside him, he sipped little from the glass cup before dropping it.
” Maynard is involved as well ”
” Huh???, Maynard? “I asked curiously and he nodded.
Dad knows how much I love Maynard, The only surviving son from the Alvarez clan.
He has so many connections, companies, houses, corporations, Textile industries, cosmetics industries and also a big investor as well.
Despite how much I’ve tried messaging him on Instagram, he doesn’t reply, I’ve only see him once, He look so cute and has a good body structure as well.
” I know how much you love him and this is the only opportunity you have, If you utilize it well, You might be with him for the rest of your life ”
” Okayy, how do I utilize it? “I asked dragging the first word.
” Maynard just aquired a new secretary, And through my undercover agents, I found out that he is so fond of the Secretary, Since we’ve been working towards having a business deal with them, You will be used to seal the deal, By getting married to him, It will start with dates, party nights, then you will look for something to hook him down with, Be it pregnancy or anything, And I’m sure you know what I’m talking about? ”
” Yes, But did you think it will work like that?, Maynard isn’t easy to be tamed ”
” Oh!, And where’s the manipulative daughter I have, Where’s the sensible Zoe I have? “He asked spreading his arms and I chuckled.
” Alright, I promise to do whatever I need to do, And where’s Gael at the moment? ”
” He’s in his room sleeping, He’s been moody since all these days ”
” Oh!, Alright then, I will be in my room”

MAYNARD POV
I got to the house and met Dad waiting for me as usual.
” Have you eaten? “I asked later after exchanging pleasantries and he nodded.
” Yes, I just ate with Mrs. Cora, You should go freshen up after our discussion ”
” Discussion?, Is there anything you have to say?”
I asked in surprise and he nodded.
” Mr. Jordan called, About the business proposal, He told me he’s ready for it now ”
” And where did he left his sense of reasoning before?, I thought he said he’s not interested? “I scoffed and he chuckled.
” I don’t know what pushed him to call me this morning, But I hope we will be able to cooperate at the end, At least, for a better future of the company, Or what do you think? ”
” Dad, we are partnering with lots of companies, And I’ve started making thrice of a year income within a month, I don’t want to partner with poor companies who doesn’t have anything good to offer, But if you insists, Tell their representative to come to my office tomorrow ”
” Alright, thank you, Please, make sure you attend to them well ”
