“What?”
“I said I told him to go to hell with the contract.”
“Gray what have you done? Do you know what this contract means to us?”
“I know what it means, but you don’t have to worry, am willing to take the risk, l can’t let him control me and besides l told you earlier that l love Phoebe, this is the first time am having feelings for any woman and you know it. I can’t allow the God forsaken contact to spoil what am planning to have with Phoebe.”
” Did you just call the contract God forsaken?l know you love miss Phoebe alot but without the contract the company is doomed. This contract will help us partner with three great companies and you know the benefits that comes along with it.”
“Have you ever considered how l feel? all you think about is partnership and partnership, what’s wrong with you? You are my best friend, you should support me, if it’s that easy like you always say it, why not go ahead and marry her in my place! Go ahead marry her, since you care so much about the company.”
“Gray! This isn’t just any company it’s one of your biggest companies. You manage it yourself that’s one of the reasons you shouldn’t neglect this.”
” Offcourse l can, like you said it’s one of my numerous companies, losing one of it won’t affect me in anyway, l don’t know why you are being over sensitive.”
“If the company suffers from great lose it will create a huge scandal, it might damage your reputation, thus affecting the other companies.”
“There won’t be any lose, l will take the risk. Mr Li underestimated me, l will make sure he will be the one at lose, in case he v’e forgotten, l will remind him that am Gray Mensah he can’t mess with me.”
” Gray am worried about this whole thing, l don’t want you to get hurt and loose your good reputation, but since you Insisted, am willing to take every step with you, l got your back.”
“Now you are talking, thanks man. Can you please help me with miss Phoebe’s contact.”

The song “work” by Rihhanna is playing, Daisy and I are competing on who twerks better.
” Your baby! Your baby!" Daisy kept screaming.
” Daisy stop screaming, we are competing.”
” Am no longer interested, l want to watch you dance.”
” You are crazy!
” I know l am, now shake those buttocks, let’s teach your baby some moves” she said and l stopped.
“hahaha….. that’s hilarious. Who won?”
” No one is here to judge so it’s even” Daisy said.”
“No it’s not, l won.”
“You didn’t.”
“I did.”
” You didn’t.”
“I did”
” You didn’t.”
“I did” l argued and was interrupted by the ringing of my phone.
” Hello!
” Miss Phoebe!"
” Mr Gray! Good day sir.”
” How are you feeling?Are you still feeling pains!” he asked.
” No am fine now, the wound has gotten better.”
“Thank goodness! You are fine, l want to ask you to come over to make the recipe.” he said.
“The recipe? Oh! I forgot, yes l will. Where?”
” My house”
” Your house?”l asked.
“I will send my driver to pick you up, thanks” he said and hung up.
What?
His house?
“Why are you frowning? Gray Mensah just invited you to his house, many will kill to be in your shoes.”
“I know that’s what you are going to say fish brain.”
” Go get dressed you a-----e.”

I hear the noise of a car engine.
” Phoebe the chauffeur is here” Daisy said.”
“Coming! I said.
I took a last look at my reflection in the mirror and Rushed out.
” Bye Phoebe have fun” Daisy said.
” Bye bestie.”
The ride was silent, so many thoughts kept running through my mind. The Mr Gray l knew was a bitter and grumpy man, but the Mr Gray l know now is gentle and sweet, what’s with the change?
We arrived the house after the long Drive.
The gate opened automatically.
Woooow! This place is paradise .
“Welcome miss, come with me” said middle age woman dressed as a maid.
I followed her till we got to the living room, l gasped in surprise, the living room is two times Bigger than my grandmother’s house.
” Hey” l hear the familiar voice.
He is being informal again.
I turn around and behold Mr Gray in his handsomeness.
I flip my lashes, how can someone be this good looking?
” Good day sir” l greeted.”
“Good day Phoebe, stop being formal,l want you to be your normal self when you are around me, call me Gray from now on” He said.
I stared at him speechless.
“Will you like us to take a walk?”
” I will start making the recipe right away.”
“You agreed to teach me, let’s go do it together.”
” Hmmmm sir l forgot to tell you that is bad for you to be there while l make it , it will make you feel dizzy” l lied.
“Oh! then l will wait. I will send one of the maids to assist you” he said.
“Better” l said.
Mintues later the middle age woman came in.
“Good day ma’am” l greeted.
“Good day miss” she replied.
"You are beautiful, may l know your name?”
“My name is Phoebe.”
“A beautiful name for a beautiful woman, you are the first woman master Gray as invited over, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Thank you.”
” Are you two dating?”
“No ma, am his secretary.”
” He likes you, you would have seen the way his eyes lit up when l told him you v’e arrived.”
” Ma’am, l don’t think so, he is my boss nothing more, can you please help me with a bowl?” I asked.
l don’t want to have that kind of conversation with her.
I finished making the recipe and poured it in a cup.
Where is Mr Gray?
I walked to the living room, he was sitting on the couch engrossed in his laptop.
“Mr Gray! I called, here is it,l think you should go to bed before taking it.”
” Thanks Phoebe. Come with me” he said.
I followed him to is room.
I wanted to scream woooow at the view in front of me but l controlled myself.
He really has good taste in interior designs.
His room is beautiful and spacious.
“Can l have it?” He said.
I stretch out the cup to him. He took it and drank without hesitation, does he trust me this much. I watch him intensely. Its awkard being alone with him.
After drinking everything he sat on the bed facing me.
Why is he looking at me like that?
” Can l leave? It’s getting late” l said.
” Not yet l have something to say.”
“Okay, am listening.”
"I………."
He couldn’t complete the sentence he slept off.
Drug effect.
What did he wanted to say? I thought.
I use the duvet to cover his body.
This man is beautiful, l mumbled as l stare at him.
I remembered the kiss we shared. Am tempted to kiss him. A light kiss won’t hurt I bend over and kissed him lightly on the lips.
“Good night! I whisper.
I was about leaving but something caught my attention.
What’s my bracelet doing in his room, have been looking for these bracelet.
Hmm maybe it isn’t mine,am not the only one who has it anyways, l haven’t be here before it’s definitely not mine.
I stare at him and shut the door behind me.
The driver was already waiting for me. I got in the car.
After the long ride we arrived at my apartment. I wave at the driver as he drove off.
"Daisy" l called as l stand in front of my apartment.
Suddenly a hand grip me and drag me to a corner.
“Who are you?" I ask shakily.
He pinned me to the wall with his hand on my neck choking me.
l felt a sting on my neck as l pass out.
