My Executive Wife |••| MerNick

The Contract

"Ms, Grey I am going to offer you a contract and you can't say no" Nick began, they're in a private room of some restaurant waiting for their order.

"Why can't I?" she frowned.

"Because I said so, so-" before he could even finished his sentence Meredith interrupted him

"I'm sorry, but you said 'offer' so that means I have a choice to make wether if I should accept it or not" Meredith said, trying to make her point.

" I desperately need you in this, Meredith" Nick said.

"What's the contract then, is it about the company? because if it is I am happy to accept it right away" Meredith then said taking a sip of her water.

"I want you to be my wife" he blurted out making Meredith choke on her water.

"I'm sorry what? D-did I hear you wrong?" she asked  confused.

"No, you heard me right. I am asking you to be my wife" he repeated more slowly.

"Aren't you married?" she asked.

"I am not, anymore. I got divorced a few months ago" he sighs.

"What for? I'm pretty sure there's a serious reason for this, because you won't just ask me for this kind of favor for nothing" she pointed "Unless you like me" she chuckle sarcastically. Nick just look at her seriously. "I'm kidding, why so serious" she chuckle.

"I know because I do not like you" he defended.

"What for then?" she asked again.

"My friend from college will be in town and he wanted us to work together" he sigh.

"And?" she asked.

"And his wife is coming with him so-" before he even say another word she interrupted him.

"So?" she frowned confused.

"Will you let me finished" he snapped annoyed.

"Sorry, continue" she said

"And why are you talking to me like a friend and not your boss?" he asked,kinda annoyed.

"You're asking me for a personal favor, that's what you said. I can't just sigh a piece of paper and wear a ring and call you my hubby and be a Mrs Marsh, of course I need to know everything" she shot back "Respectfully,sir" she added in calm tone.

"Can I come in now?" the5 heard Andrew outside.

"Wait there, I'll call you when you can" Nick answered.

"Hurry" Andrew said.

"Tell me everything there is to know and I'll think about it" Meredith said.

"He's my friend, just like I said. He thought I'm still married to my ex-wife and I told him I'm not then he saw the ring on my finger and I told him I got remarried" he tried to explain.

"And why didn't you just told him the truth that you're not?" she asked confused.

"He won't accept the project if he knew that I'm not married anymore" he said.

"So you're basically going to use me to have another project?" she pointed.

"In a good way of course" he said.

"And what would I get if I accept the offer?" she asked "I can't just let you use me to do your dirty dirty little secret and get nothing in the end" she added crossing her arm in front of her chest.

"I heard your sister is looking for a job? I could hire her and assigned her as the head of your former department" he suggested "And 50 thousand dollars a month for you. You will receive the money as long as project is going that's a different money from your salary"
