Chapter 2

A normal person would have said no but Leila stopped considering herself normal the moment she signed the contract with Kelvin McKenna. They only went on two dates for God’s sake. Her best friend didn’t even know because he convinced her to do it before telling Freya. And she agreed. She said yes.

Did she make a mistake?

Leila was still thinking about this as she entered her work building, she pulled the door to her office open and paused.

Everyone was here.

She stole a peek at her wristwatch, she wasn’t late. It was only five minutes past eight. She walked briskly to her table and set her bag and files down.

Her head raised when someone sat on her desk. Lily. They were not best of friends but she preferred her to that witch staring at her. Sam’s mission in this office was to make her life miserable but Leila was bent on avoiding her as best as she could. Already, it was working. She had received the best staff of the month award last month for the third time in a row.

Lily hummed in thought. “It depends.”

“On what?”

“If he’s rich. Is he rich?”

Leila didn’t have an answer to that. It would have been awkward to discuss that with him but so far, he looked well to do. He gave her a black card and his apartment was comfortable.
