Chapter Two

Gwyneth’s POV

“I'll be your girlfriend from 6am up to 5pm only. If the time is up and you're still in need of my service, you had to pay for my overtime. Aside from that, you need to inform me firsthand if you have events to attend and need me to escort you there so I can prepare ahead of time." I clarified things up with Kalex before giving him the contract he had to sign. 

A goofy smile crept into his picture perfect face as he reaches for the documents I was holding up for him. “Is this really necessary?" he asked, pertaining to the contract.

We are currently here in my own apartment, discussing the do's and don’ts when I'm gonna be his contract girlfriend. 

I opened my bag, rummaging for my pen and handed it to him when I saw it. "Of course it is! This is not some silly jokes you could just crack, Kalex. This is my job, better be sure before diving in." I replied to him curtly.

"What if the contract winds up?"

"Obviously, I am done serving you as your contract girlfriend."

He nodded as if he understood what I was saying. "No renewal of contract?"

I was stunned for a minute before clearing my throat, holding my chin up and slowly took a sit on the love seat sofa right next to him. “Whatever floats my boat."

"What do you mean?" he inquired.

I heft a sigh before sinking into my seat leaning back in the process. “It depends on the situation. If I don't get any clients by then and I'm satisfied with your payment, then why not?”

"What if you'll fall for me before our contract ends?" I saw the reflection of a mischievous grin on his lips, how I wish to wipe that off his face with my fist.

"That will never happen. It is stated there in the contract that the employee is not allowed to like or fall for her client." 

He retracts his gaze from me towards the contract he was holding. He then look back up a lil' later. "What if it's the other way around? What if it's me who'd fall for you?"

That earned him a haughty laugh from me. I folded my arms and flick my tongue in great amusement. "Well, that is not anything new to me. With my sensationally jaw-droppin' physique, who wouldn't? In fact, most of my clients gone obsessed with me after and they're creeping the hell outta me! To sum it up, I'm that irresistible so equip your pretty bum for the fall, dude." I finished with one delicious smirk.

He winced as if I wounded his manliness.

"And oh, it's stated there in the contract that the client is not allowed to like his employee, so if you ever fall for me, let me know right away so I can end the contract between the two of us.” I seriously added before I stood up from the love seat sofa.

"I beg your pardon?"

"What I mean is that, even if you'd fall for me and made it known to everybody how you felt for me, I will never like you as much as you do." 

I’ll screw everything if ever I'll fall for my client, so as much as possible, I avoid getting attach and just play numb to any of them while working.

“Phew! That's a relief that you're professional enough to know your place. I'll sign this one and we're good.” he replied then signed the contract he's holding. 

He handed me the contract so I took it, scrutinizing every pages to see if he really did signed it. When I saw his name and signature on the left end of document, I turned to him with a smile.

"I love you, baby." I said playing coy.

It made him choked a little and coughed several times before looking back at me and asked. "Come again?" Still dumb-founded.

"I love you." I repeated.

He got up from his seat and furrowed his forehead as he walk towards me.

"W-What? Is there something wrong with what I said? I’m officially your girlfriend from now on, so it's normal for me to say those three lil' words." I said pushing him lightly, he's making me feel uncomfortable with his proximity. 

"Do you like me?" he asked me seriously which gotten me red handed.

"Are you for real? I'm just doing my job, nothing personal so don't sweat it."

"Just making sure—Anyways, there will be a party later at my friend's house. I would like you to come and—"

"Sorry, I'll be busy later." I interpose before heading to my room. I opened my drawer situated next to my pint-sized bed and hid the contract beneath my neatly folded clothes before going out coming face to face with Kalex.

"You just said that you would serve me as my contract girlfriend, but you are doing the exact opposite by cutting me off." Disappointment is evident on his face.

I walked back to the living room with him hot on my tail.

"Don't be silly Kalex. I just said my terms and conditions earlier. Didn't you get it? My service will last until 5pm and I told you to inform me firsthand so I could prepare." I said irritably feeling wretched that he didn't listen to what I was talking earlier.

"Fine!" he sat back down and folded his arms like a mulish tot. "There will be a party which will be held at my friend's house tonight, so I'll pick you up later so we can go together like a normal couple would. There, are you happy? I already informed you." full of sarcasm he said.

I huffed and rolled my eyes. What a futile excuse of a man.

"Get the hell outta here before I strangle you doofus.” I yanked his wrist and kick his sorry ass out of my apartment. "Let's just meet tomorrow, bye." I mop-up before slamming the goddamn door .

That man is going to be the death of me. Ugh!
