A Deal With The Millionaire

* Next Morning *

Layla wasn’t going to work today, today was her day off. She heard the door bell ring and she was on her way to the door.

She twisted the door knob open and the door opened, revealing Bryan. He had a light smile on and he was fully dressed.

” Hi ” He said cheerfully as his eyes roamed over Layla’s body. She wasn’t dressed. ” Hey.. um, why are you here? ” Layla asked tho she had a little clue of why he was standing before her. The date! But she wasn’t really interested in the date.

If Shane found out too, it might cause a misinterpretation and she doesn’t want that. Not like they were dating anyways but she cared. ” Um… You saw the text message I sent last night. Didn’t you? ” Bryan asked itching his hair.

” Oh, the date right? ” She asked, pretending to be oblivious and Bryan nodded.

” Oh, sorry but I have to go to work soon ‘ She lied and Bryan muttered an * oh * disappointedly. ” Yeah, sorry ” She faked a sorry.

” Buh I could talk to Shane you know. We’re kinda friends, he could grant you an off for today ” He said and she shook her head hurriedly.

” Um.. no, don’t! ” She rushed and Bryan raised his brows. ” Huh? ”

” Um, nothing.. sorry ” She bit her lips. ” Go get dressed then. We shall go see him together ” He said and she nodded slowly before walking back in.

She bit her lips as she made her way to the room. She got there and began searching for a dress to out on. She really hopes Shane wouldn’t allow her, tho she strictly knows he wouldn’t allow her anyways.

After getting dressed, she walked out of the room. Mirah had gone to work.

” You’re looking pretty ” Bryan commented as they both approached his car. ” Thanks ” She muttered and he let out a gentle smile. He opened the door for her and she entered. He got in through the other side and the drive to Kent’s Enterprise began.

*** Kent’s Enterprise **

” Come in ” They both heard Shane’s voice and Bryan pushed the door opened and they both walked in.

Shane’s gaze landed on Layla first and she bit her lips slowly and looked away from his gaze. He saw that she was fully dressed and he also looked at how dressed Bryan was too. Were they going out?

” How may I help you? ” Shane asked and Bryan let out a smile. ” How professional ” He teased but when he saw Shane gave no reaction, he cleared his throat.

” I wanted to take her on a date.. ” Shane’s face twitched on hearing that and he took a glance at Layla who gave no reaction but she looked nervous as she fondled with her fingers.

” And she said she had a morning shift today so I want to plead on her behalf to grant her a day off ” He completed but got no reply. He noticed Shane had been staring at Layla all through.

” Shane? ”

” Not permitted ” Shane cut him off. Bryan raised his brows. ” Sorry?.. ”

” Layla! Back to work! ” He commanded. ” Sir?.. ” Layla asked, pretending to be suprised. ” I won’t repeat myself! ” He said giving a stern bossy attitude.

” Yes sir ” Layla said and bowed before rushing out of his office. ” Really? Shane! ” Bryan called unbelievably.

” She has to work Bryan, you should understand that! ” Shane said without looking at him as he walked back to his seat.

” You like her don’t you? ” Bryan asked and Shane didn’t give a reply. Bryan scoffed. ” Dude, you’re married! ”

” I’m only being professional right here. No strings attached, I have nothing of such with my secretary ” Shane denied and Bryan nodded. ” Alright then, I guess I’ll postpone the date then ” He said and with that walked out of Shane’s office.

Shane let out a sigh. ” Claus! ” He called and almost immediately he rushed in.

” Bring Layla here! ” He said in a commanding tone and Claus nodded before rushing out. Shane sighed and ruffled his hair slowly.

” Layla? ” Tina called unbelievably. Layla let out a sigh. ” Hi ” She muttered. ” I thought today’s your day off? ” She asked and Layla nodded.

” Yeah, something happened and I’m here ” She said and Tina raised her brow. ” I don’t understand ” She said in a chuckle.

” It’s nothing seriously ” Layla said and she nodded. ” Is he mad at me? ” Layla thought, biting her lips slowly and reminiscing on the stern glare Shane passed her at the office then and how she shouted at her.

” Miss Layla ” She felt a tap and she raised her head. It was Claus. ” Morning” She bowed and Claus smiled.

” Sire wants to see you ” He said just as she thought. She nodded slowly and bit her lips. ” Is he really mad at me? ” She thought as she walked over to Shane’s office with Claus behind her.

They finally got to his office and Layla expected Claus to lead the way but he didn’t, instead he stood beside her. She turned to him with a raised brows.

” Only you ” He said and she muttered an * oh * She bit her lips before pushing the door open. She closed the door behind her and walked slowly to Shane’s desk. ” Shane.. Sire ” She corrected immediately, thinking he might be mad at her.

Shane raised his head and when he saw her, he let out a smile.

He stood up and walked out of his desk and closer to her, he pulled her into his arms. She was suprised at first but she was quick to get over it as she also hugged him back.

” You know I didn’t mean to use that bossy tone right? It was all a cover up ” He said and she nodded with a smile tho he couldn’t see her. ” Yeah I know, but I liked it ” She said and he chuckled. He broke the hug and stared into her eyes and she did the same. ” I’m sorry ” She said and Shane raised his brows.

” Why? ”

” For bringing Bryan here and probably disturbing you. I just didn’t want to go on the date with him and I had to lie ” She said and he chuckled. ” I know, but why didn’t you want to go with him? ”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

” What? Would you have liked it if I went on the date with him? ” She asked and he shook his head. ” That’s why.. ” She paused and raised her hands to his unbuttoned shirt at the upper part. She began buttoning it.

” That’s why I didn’t agree.. I didn’t want you to feel bad ” She muttered, and made to button the last opened button on his shirt but he held her hand.

” Why? ” She asked with a raised brows.

” I love it this way ” He said and she scoffed before jerking his hands off.

” That will be unprofessional. You’re a CEO , you don’t wanna look like a bad boy in your office ” She said with a pouty lips and he smiled. ” But I like it ” He said and she shook her head.

” I don’t want other girls staring at your chest ” She finally said the words he wanted to hear. He smiled and released his hands from his shirt and gave her the go ahead.

She chuckled and finally buttoned the button and made to drop her hands but he held it and pulled her more closer to him. She stared at his face and he did the same. He planted a kiss on her lips before releasing her. He touched her hair and grabbed an handful of it. He kissed it slowly. She smiled slowly as her cheeks flushed.

** Later In The Evening **

* The Girl’s Apartment *

” And where ard you coming from? ” Mirah asked immediately, standing abruptly as Layla stepped a foot into the apartment.

Layla stopped on her tracks. ” Work ” She replied and Mirah scoffed. ” Oh really? You lie now ” Mirah asked scornfully and Layla raised her brows. ” Mirah, what are you?.. ”

” You went on a date with Bryan, didn’t you? ” She asked angrily. ” No, I didn’t… ”

” Stop!! Stop with the lies!! ” Mirah snapped angrily.

” Mirah, I’m serious. I didn’t, I.. ”

” You disgust me! ” Mirah spat before walking out on her angrily.

” Gosh ” Layla sighed.
