The Contract

CHAPTER 2

Erin watched the lady walk out, what was her name again??

Roman? Ron? Ramen?

He laughed at himself, he couldn't say what pushed him to give her the job anyway but she looked like she could use the pay and he was in a very generous mood today

He finalized his divorce to his psycho ex wife, Natasha, and they finally settled their shares, he was sincerely hoping she won't be coming into his life again

Married for a year and he already felt forty-two at the tender age of twenty - eight

They were high-school sweet hearts, it was supposed to be magical as they all say, his parents met in high school and they are still together, how did he and Natasha not have the happy ending

God knows the woman Natasha became after they got married, he could have dealt with how jealous she was and overly possessive but what he couldn't deal with is her impulsive, inconsiderate and selfish behavior
The only person she cared about was herself, and didn't care who she hurt and how she hurt
And Erin couldn't take more of that, and that is why he decided to move to this city, bought a nice apartment and hope Natasha would be too lazy to drive miles away from their home to his new home

Roman was still in dilemma about what to wear, well... She didn't own a car, last thing she remembered is she sold it, because it was Liam who got it for her and she was running low on rent so she had to sell the damn car, she decided it was better to walk all the way home rather than have no place to sleep at all

She had no job for over five months, she and her mom were both living on her savings and now that her mother was sick, thyroid cancer she was told, the doctor told her they would have to do several procedures and it is going to cost a lot of money, she promised she would pay whatever it cost, she just needed them to do everything they can to save her mother

She stepped out of the cab and accidentally stepped into a ditch, she cursed under her breathe as the cab drove away

She walked to the front desk and the girl was Clearly displeased to see her

"Good morning 'whoever your name is' - can you save a girl, stepped into a ditch" she said with a charming smile

The girl was clearly not going to fall for her charms, she stepped behind her desk and pulled a drawer and gave her a roll of tissue paper

Roman quickly rolled a chunk onto her hand and bent down to clean her shoe, her beautiful Louboutin stilettos

"first day to work and i dive feet first into the arctic ocean" she said as she roughly cleaned the front of her shoe

The girl was awfully quiet

She bounced back up and flashed her a smile

"Can you throw this in the litter for me" she said with a sweet smile

She was sure the girl would have answered her with something very mean, but she saw her swallow hard and take the muddy tissue from her hand and throw it in the litter on the floor beside her

Roman flashed her a smile, she saw the tag on her shirt and she quickly said her gratitudes

"I'm really thankful Lorna, is it?? I'm basically a pain in the ass but I'm a real sweet heart" she batted her eyelashes and gave her puppy eyes "It's just that I'm a girl with only one pair of designer shoes and no future" she whispered the last part

She turned around and screamed,

First she didn't expect to see him behind her, and secondly in the midst of her panic, she accidentally began flailing her hands and knocked out the cup of coffee that was in Erin's hands, pouring all the coffee on his white shirt
