Paid To Love You

Chapter 16

To say I'm surprised is an understatement. I know he is rich, but I never assume he's this loaded.
Mrs Parker and I followed him inside and I took a seat far away from him.

I couldn't enjoy my sleep since the flight is just 1hour and 3mins.
I notice I was the only one that slept and Nick's eye is glued to his laptop, while Mrs Parker busied herself by doing God knows what on her phone.

We landed and Nick instructs the driver to take our luggage to the hotel. I was half expecting that we would at least rest for a while since it's still early but my joy was cut short as a car pulled up in front of us and Nick order the driver to take us to star gallery.

Surprisingly, all the workers at the Star Gallery are already present and we are welcome Immediately.
They didn't even give us time to relax, instead, we are boomerang with different issues that need to be addressed.

I work immensely with their team to help resolve the issue or misunderstanding as the case may be.

After hours of working nonstop, we can trace the artwork that was said to be stolen to a man who originally owned it, before he sold it.

He loved the art so much that he had to make another one.
Seeing different emotions that the image entails, the other company who happens to be the cause of the whole issue bought the second one, despite being informed that he had sold the original one to the Star Gallery, and he only makes a redo, due to his emotion the Art carries.

After talking to the artist who apologises for causing trouble over a piece of art, he proceeded that he will stand as a witness in court if the case could not be resolved within the two companies and have to lead to court.

After hearing this, we are rest assured that the man means no harm.
Nonetheless, he was made to sign a paper in case he changes his mind.

We agreed to sue the other company for defamation.

After settling what seems to be the issue, we decided to take a break and that is when I realize that I'll break down soon if I don't get an actual rest.

It is 5:00 in the evening and I still haven't eaten other than the cereal I had in the morning.

I feel so tired and it's starting to show in my features because I've been getting a lot of concerned look from everyone, constantly telling me that I look pale and sick.

I saunter towards the exit to take a stroll and maybe, find something to eat when I stumble upon a rock.

Why would any sensible being leave a rock in the middle of the road? "I mutter to myself."

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard someone voice, asking if I am okay.

Turns out the rock is a man.

Looking at his appearance, he looks like he spends most of his life at the gym. I wonder if he ever gets out.

He looks so fresh and well built. His abs are obvious from his fitted shirt and I wonder what he will look like if he doesn't have cloth on.

Mmm... "Clear throat"

Once again, I forgot am still standing in front of him.

Hi, I greeted rather embarrassed for being caught.

"Hello," he smiles handsomely.

Damn, I am so engrossed with his hot body to notice he has a pretty face too.
How can someone look so perfect?

"Are you okay?" He asked, looking worried.

"Yeah, I guess, a little tired but it's nothing I can't handle."
