Grace's POV My phone started ringing loudly in my ears forcing me to wake up. I groaned internally as I picked up the call without checking who it was. "Grace baby girl, I was busy and couldn't pick up your call. " "How was work today?" Lisa's cheerful voice drifts into my ear chasing my last straw of sleepiness away. It's very unusual not to get affected by her cheerful mood but remembering my biggest problem at the moment I couldn't tap into a positive vibe. "Lisa, my boss , sacked me today" I inform her feeling extremely sad and angry. "why?! "What happened, baby? "you didn't beat him up right?" she asked, surprised. If the situation had been different I would have laughed at her question but she knows me quite well and what I'm capable of. "no I didn't, but I wish I had beaten up the old bag of garbage" I replied snapping angrily. "What was the reason dear," she asked again softly this time. I lay down curled up as I narrated what transpired between me and

Grace's POV The day ended as fast as it started. The first day at work wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I bid my boss goodbye and all I got in return was a stiff nod. What the hell? The moment I stepped out of the elevator I got dragged by Lisa to the coffee shop across the street. I'm in no mood for coffee right now, I sit quietly beside her as she orders her coffee. “Isn't it too late for coffee? Give me some alcohol instead” I said with a grimace as the cups of coffee were brought to us. "How was the interview?" "Did you get the job?" she asked enthusiastically after taking a sip out of her black coffee. "I don't think you should be asking me that right now, it's 6pm already" I replied feigning annoyance. "Oh! Baby I'm sorry, I've been so busy today that I forgot to call you" "I was surprised when I saw you coming out of the elevator," she replied, smiling and fluttering her lashes cutely at me. She honestly knows ways to get me whenever I'm upset.

Grace's POV I released a sigh of relief. I didn't notice I was holding as someone called Mr Hyde's name from behind us causing him to remove his hand from my thigh, but a part of me doesn't want him to stop the gentle magic he was doing to me. "Gideon" the lady said softly as she walked closer towards us in an extremely tight dress. Gideon? What a boring name for an arrogant man" I said quietly in my mind as she stopped beside him. She seems to be a couple of years older than me but there is something wrong with the look she gave me a few seconds ago. Pretending not to be aware of her presence, I turned my gaze to my phone and started chatting with Lisa but I couldn't concentrate because half of my attention was directed at Mr Hyde and the poker face Lady. "Ahhhhh! I screamed in pure terror as I felt a cold liquid stream down my body. "I'm very sorry," the poker face said in an overly exaggerated surprised voice. She had tipped her glass of wine on me and was prete

Grace's POV After waiting for about half an hour with no message or call about who I was meeting or where I decided to send him a message. I really wish I don't have to talk to him because I don't want to disrupt anything. I could tell there was something going on between him and that mean bitch, but I'm in no position to do anything or even show my jealousy. Yes, we had sex and he seems to find me attractive but that's it. Some seconds later he sent a response. Well, that's fast. *** I parked my car and rushed inside the fancy restaurant because I'm a little bit late. I was taken inside by a waiter because I definitely do not know what or how the person im meeting looks like. I walked slowly behind the waiter and thanked as he showed me to the man I'm supposedly meeting. I greeted him respectively and reluctantly collected the hand he offered to me because I don't want to be seen as rude but I'm absolutely disgusted by his perverted smirk and dirty looks. I glanced brief

Grace's POV Our lips danced together, I let out a soft moan as he dominated the kiss. He broke the kiss for some air and I stared at the beautiful pair of eyes that were staring back at me. His hair was neatly brushed to the back to show the proud plains of his face. His high cheekbones accentuating the angle of his face not to mention the sensual curve of his lips. I'm still light headed from the intense kiss. I may have been under the influence of alcohol the first night we met but I don't mind experiencing such a moment again. *** I really enjoyed myself tonight even if it is not the kind of place I'm familiar with. "Thank you for tonight," I said as the car pulled up at my apartment. "Mr Hyde?" I couldn't help but mutter as he was staring at me. "what– The rest of the words got forgotten as he leaned over and captured my lips with his. We both got startled as my phone started ringing ruining the moment. Talk about wrong timing. I almost cussed out as Lisa's name
