The Contract

Chapter 64-The Mother-in-law

I texted Hillary as I got down the stairs, I haven't seen her since the meeting with The Baxters' yesterday, she had began lodging at a hotel with Justin.

I just hope they were serious.

I looked up to see Jeffrey waiting for me by the door, "Good morning" I greeted. "Good morning, Mrs Ferrari" he returned it and opened the door for me.

We headed in and I paused when I saw a car right in front of the pool, it had a huge red bow on it. "What's that?"

"It's a gift from, Mr Ferrari" Jeffrey answered and I stared at the the white Bugatti.

He got me a car? Talk about him fulfilling his hubby duties.

"I'll drive today, we'll be taking it" I replied, a faint smile on my lips and he handed me the keys.

As I drove to the office, I sighed and leaned back, I was kind of in a good mood today, I don't know why. It kinda feels like before, you know, before I got married.

When I was single and on my own.

I sighed and turned to Jeffrey who was right beside. "Do you mind if I grab coffee?"

Moments later.

I pushed the door open and stepped in. Today I wore a mini skirt, cropped long sleeve top with its matching blazer, my hair in a bun with few strands framing my face.

I took a sip from the coffee in my hand and there was Kourtney already heading to me. "What's up?"

"There's news"

Minutes later.

"I'm getting married!!!" Bethany announced, wiggling her ring in our faces.

Yes, I had already spat my coffee in shock, I was just frozen in place now, still staring at her with wide eyes.

"Please, tell me it isn't to Eric" Kourtney pleaded.

"Of course, it's to Eric. Don't be silly!" she squealed before falling on the seat in front of me, she twirled staring at the ring in her finger.

I exchanged looks with Kourtney, she was also in shock but I got hold of myself and had to ask. "what...how ...when did he ask?" I stuttered.

"Yesterday, he surprised me at my apartment. Oh my gosh, it was so sweet!" She beamed, excitedly.

"You know this dude cheated on you, right?!" Kourtney exclaimed. "He confessed everything, he apologized and promised to be the best husband ever"

I slowly sat down. "Bethany"

She turned to me. "Congratulations!!!"

"Oh my gosh, thank you!" she got up and embraced me. "I'll give you a day off today!" I declared.

"Really?"

"Yeah, go enjoy with your fiancé" I encouraged and she squealed. "Thank you, you're the best boss ever, I promise to treat you guys for a meal. I'm getting married!" She announced again as she hurried out.

I chuckled and looked up at Kourtney, who was shooting me an incredulous look. "Really? You aren't gonna advise her?" She demanded and I sighed.

I've got a couple of reasons why I couldn't chastise Bethany, here I was married for money, I'm not in the right position to even advise.

"They are gonna divorce anyways and look at how happy she is" I pointed out and she sighed and sat opposite me.

"I can't believe I'm the last to be single in the group, we had a bet that you'll be the one" she whined. "Ouch"
