Once Leah got up from his sight ,she rushed for her things and left the restaurant in a hurry .
She quickly took off her glasses , her bob wig and let her long upsweep silvery hair rest calmly on her hips as she walked swiftly along the pavement blocks.
She didn't even look back or minded how people would gawk at her ,she just kept walking as fast as she could.
"Follow her !"Adonis instructed his driver and he did so obediently .
The black Sedan tailed at her distance. Leah arrived in front of a hospital and hesitated before taking the entrance .
"Find out everything about her! Not even a single piece of information should be missing ."Adonis instructed one of his men .
The next morning , Adonis walked into Mason's Incorporation in an odious mood while his subordinates followed obediently .
Once he took a seat in his office , he cancelled all of his business meetings waiting to have the information about the nerd he met at the restaurant the night earlier.
In no minute the man arrived with what he wanted in a file .
He quickly took the file and looked through .
*...Name : Leah Flair
*...Age :26 years
*...Occupation : Waitress
*...Marital status : Single *
He read into the file and his lips curved into a smile when he saw her marital status as *single*!
Suddenly , a group of photographs fell to the floor from the file and he was wowed by her beauty .
Never had he seen such godly beauty like the Sirens before!
Quickly ,he turned to his man in awe .
"Why does she work as a waitress and dresses as a nerd?
What did she go to do at the hospital last night?
Does she really stammer ?" A host of questions were thrown to him within seconds by Adonis .
"Young Mason ! To start with , she and her mother moved from Colma to Hildale not long ago .
According to the reports I received , Leah and her mother fled from Colma because of her father's debtors who were chasing after them .
Her father passed away two years ago in a fatal car accident and this caused her mother to live in shock !
As I'm talking to you now , her mother has dementia and she's in urgent need of money for her treatment as it has reached a critical state .
I've even heard that her father's debtors are in Hildale too , chasing after her , hence her disguise !
Young Mason ,it does seem that the leader of the gang chasing after them has interest in her ! He plans on making her the collateral."
The man explained .
"Dismiss!"Adonis said with his hoarse voice .
The moment he left , he made his PA send a secretarial job proposal to her email .
Once Leah received the message that she was invited to an interview at Mason's Incorporation , she didn't even bother to disguise herself since she knew the money involved at working at Mason's Incorporation.
In no time , she arrived and as planned ,Adonis had his men waiting for her to arrive .
They led her straight to his office where he sat with his back against her .
He continually tapped his index finger on the armrest in excitement from seeing her .
No woman made him smile but a simple photograph was doing all the magic !
"Young Mason! She's here !"One of his men announced before quitely dismissing himself
"Miss Leah Flair !" Adonis said ,turning his chair towards her .
"Sir Adonis ?" She exclaimed in shock as his mouth curved into a devilish smile .
"Leah ! What a pleasant surprise. Seems fate doesn't lie ,does it ?
Please have a seat ,my PA would soon treat you with something to drink. "
Leah still wondered how he could recognize her after the disguise .
She was starting to regret jumping in for the job in the first place .
She cursed inwardly and asked herself why she never saw that coming !
"This way please...!"Adonis led her to his condo .
Once they arrived at the condo , food was served to them at the dining table.
"Eat please!" He gestured sweetly and she nodded with a "sure!" look .
At a point ,even Leah didn't understand why she found herself following his orders .
After a while of allowing the cutlery sets disturb the silence , he decided to break it with his husky voice .
"So let's get straight to the point here ,Leah !
I need your help immediately so I called you here !" Adonis said
"Don't be worried , I'd rather we keep things real ,I know everything about you .This is a deal .You want something amd I also want something so let's work together to achieve our individual goals .
"Adonis added while Leah widened her eyes at him .
"So what kind of help do you need sir ? I thought you wanted a secretary or ....!"She narrowed her gaze at him .
"Well , let's just say that , that was just to get you here !
Honestly the job I have for you is different!" Adonis explained .
"What kind of a job is it ?" Leah asked , dropping her fork in the food abruptly .
"Don't freak out ." He said smoothly.." I want you to pretend to be my fiancee!" He broke the news to her .
"What?" She blurted.
"That's why I said don't freak out !"Adonis added calmly .
"Freak out ? No ! I've not freaked out !
I'm just kind of shocked that you want me to carry out this task for you !
But Adonis ,why me?" Leah asked , curiosity filling her brains .
"Well Leah ! It's simple ! Because you need the money and I need your help!
Nothing too partial here !"Adonis said simply and before Leah could speak again .." One million dollars is at stake here but only if you agree!"
The amount Leah heard widened her eyes .
Why wouldn't she accept the job offer ? After all ,she probably needed to sell her soul to the devil to earn such an amount of money .
That money could give her mother the treatment she needed !
"Okay ! So what's the plan?" She asked , and this made Adonis smile in satisfaction even without her notice .
"You will get to know as the days pass by but for now ...!"He snapped his fingers and one of his men entered with a sleek briefcase .."This is half a million dollars," he said smoothly. "Think of it as an advance ,a sign that I always keep my end of the deal. The rest comes as the job begins and continues." He said , while opening the briefcase to her outmost shock !
Even half of what he promised was more money than she had ever seen at once.
After a while she closed her mouth in embarrassment .
"For me ?"Leah asked for emphasis.
"Yeah Leah ! For you !"As soon as Adonis said this ,she quickly grabbed the suitcase from him and he wasn't surprised , she was desperate to save her mother !
"When do we start ?"
Adonis's lips molded into a satisfactory smile.
