Chapter two
Lily’s pov
Morning shifts at Frankie’s diner was always the same filled with customers coming in and out. The diner was at the center of the finance district. So to say many business men and women came here.
It seven thirty and the kitchen served hot breakfast but at night it was a bar for watching sports and drinking beer. Early as shit and i couldn’t help myself from cursing that a-hole I bumped into yesterday morning, that arrogant jerk thinks his the boss of everyone how stupid of him.
Just as I was about to head back into the kitchen, the bell attached to the door rang signaling a new customer.
“welcome to Frankie’s how may I help-fuck not you again” standing in front of me was that dick of a person “what are you doing here” we both asked at the same time “I work here” I said to him, he smiled mischievously “I am a customer so why don’t you just take my other first” I looked at him the put on my annoying customer smile “what would you like…sir” I swear I almost puked in my mouth when I said that. “I want tea, either one would do. Make it lukewarm, actually make it hot. I want the tea to taste of cinnamon but not contain it. Are we clear now go on I’ve things to do” that jackass I could see his lips twitching upwards. “That’s a very clever choice sir” I went over to the counter pored him a cup of coffee and slammed it on his table. “This is coffee, I asked for tea” he grimaced “I don’t care” I replied flatly, he looked at me and as if he expected it. “now drink up I’ve got other things to do” he smiled a bit “that bossy uptight attitude you have there missy, don’t try with me okay” I was shocked he stood up dropped a hundred dollar bill on the table “have a nice day……I actually don’t care” he walked out living me speechless well I too don’t care about your name. I found myself murmuring. God he is so infuriating ‘and hot’ a stupid voice in my head said “why don’t you shut up” I said to the stupid voice. Yes I now he is sexy and has those incredible green eyes and that structure that held power but he was still a jerk.
Jared’s pov
It felt so good to see her mouth hanging in surprise oh God she made My day “Mr. Carter you seem to be in a good mood today” my
Sectary said “oh you wouldn’t believe it” she smiled cautiously knowing I was never in a good mood. I am such a workaholic “nice to know sir” she handed me a folder flashing me her diamond ring, she got engaged a month ago.
I should go back to that diner and make sure she gets pissed again. Oh I’ll do anything to see that look on her face again.
My mother suddenly entered my office “mother, I am working” she ignored me and sat on the seat in front of me “I was on my way back home when I saw that girl at the coffee-” I cut her short “please don’t tell me you spoke to her” an elegant smile graced her lips “no, I offered her a ride-” I interrupted again “you did what-” my mother was the one who cut me short “if you dare interrupt me again I will smack you in the face, good, ass I was saying. She refused my offer at first but then I told her that you weren’t even going to be pleased with her presence and then she told me she was feeling a bit faint so I asked if I should take her to the hospital she said no she just needed to rest I asked her where her house was and she said didn’t remember-” she glared at me this time for interrupting her “get to the point mother” she frowned but continued “so I took her to your penthouse” I looked at my mother waiting for the punch line “you what” well played, I applaud her. I turned to my mother “I thought you’ll be going back home. To Florida” my mother has been here for a week. She came only to tell me to get a wife how mother like. “After I speak to you” I can’t believe these seven years of dedicated work hours not even once have I gone off work early but just one day of meeting this girl and I am leaving work barely spending five hours.
I opened the door only to find her in one of my shirts crossed leg on the couch watching “why the hell are you wearing my shirt” I snapped at her but she only smiled a very mischievous smile “oh my, how could I have known for it is your mother who gave it to me” she was trying to act innocent. I was about to longe at her then strangle the life out of her when my mother told me to sit “Jared this is lily, lily Jared” she put her tongue out at me stubbornly “how mature” I said to her my mother called back our attention “I want you two to get married” I looked at my mum in shock but lily started to laugh “for a second there I thought you were serious” she continued to laugh “I am not joking I am very serious, the magazines are ranking you as number one bachelor so imagine the image you will give your company when you get married it would show that you can make commitment and that you would keep the company in the family” lily stood up “this is your problem so I am leaving” my mum turned towards her “I will give you a million dollars for a year and then after that year it’s all up to you both to decide what you want” lily turned around slowly “a year then I am free to do what I want” my mum nodded “okay let me have a little talk with your son here” I looked at her as she came towards me “okay I hate you, you hate me but I need the money and you need a good reputation for your company, and all we need to do is get married and after a year is divorce so what do you think” I looked at her and in those blue eyes I saw desperation she really needs the money, but I didn’t need the reputation my company was huge and everyone knew how hard I worked. “a year then a divorce” I really don’t know why I said that probably I just pitied her or maybe I just found her very sexy in my shirt who knows. We both looked at my mum and said at the same time “deal” my mother smiled “great the wedding would be in a month”
