JADEN

I adjust my chair,so I will be more comfortable in the discussion.

The moment I made the offer,I saw Isabella' face go completely blank,I knew I'd won her over permanently been rich is like you can have everything and anything,After all money could buy anything.

"So what are the terms and agreements?"she asked and I found myself grinning widely with an atmospheric belief that I won.

"Let us discuss then"I suggested.I unlocked my phone pulling up the agreements and terms,I worked on for some days.

Robert stood up from us deciding to give us some privacy in our discussions.He went over to the marbled counter to keep Chloe company as she stared at us,obviously curious but don't want to invade our privacy.

Isabella watched me closely and in full attention that I could almost see the inner struggle she was undergoing.while I didn't blame her for agreeing to it,I didn't see as much what is wrong with it as she did.We were using each other.It's how all business deal work.

Then she asked "Don't you think fifteen grand is too much."

"Not at all"I responded truthfully and I was completely honest,I'd doubt even noticing any money missing in my account.Not wanting to be immodest,I kept it to myself.

Isabella smiled and let out a quick laugh that sounded more like"Alrig...."

"I have the basics laid out here"I stared,setting my phone on the table and pushing it to her.Read it through and let me know if you'd like to change anything.

She pushed her blonde hair backward with her hands while inspecting the phone "You wrote up this agreement?"

"This is business deal,I responded immediately"

"We may as well do it the right way,I have outlined all and what we have to do together.We will be seen together many times in a week.So the relationship will be convincing and noticed by people.All financial needs will be taken care of by me like traveling,meals and attire.

Isabella shook her head and snapped back up "Attire?"

I nodded."I will purchase the required and suitable attire for you"

"Huh,what is wrong with my clothes?"

"Then I will like to see and check your dresses but if i don't find them suitable,I will buy you something else that will be more suitable."

Her gaze and expression became defensive but I fought back with a smile.I figure it will be like that.why people have problems with other people buying them stuffs,I had no idea"What,Do I need to look rich enough to be with you?She asked.

"Of course,yes because it was the truth before she could become defensive again I added.I am not trying to offend or insult you but we need to fool people and my father into thinking,you are of a higher class,I'm not saying there is anything wrong with you Isabella as you said I know nothing about you,However I know my father he will always want to go on research If he is not convinced you are from an elite and rich family with a business that gives you good figure in a year."

Isabella paused and looked up and down looking a little embarrassed,I don't know why.

Was she planning on changing her mind again,We won't have interact with my father often"I planned on keeping that limited.Even I didn't want to interact with my father always."

"If I have to,I will buy my own things then"she replied.

I hardened my face a little,don't worry about it,I am sure you don't have the money to waste.

Her face became red in colour.

"If you are going to make fun of how poor or lowlife that I am then I am not going through with this,It's not like that I am homeless and starving."

"You work two jobs though,I said in a low tone."

"yes,so I am not starving and homeless."

I adjust myself again and sat back in my sit a little and watched her closely.She is quite the spirited type of girl.I'd like.

"How old are you?"

Her mouth paused then dropped open "That's right,you don't even know my age,what if i am underage?"

"I know The Groove restaurant don't hire anyone underage,so I know you are at least in your early twenties."she looked younger so i figure she wouldn't be more than twenty-one.

"How old are you she asked?"

"I am twenty-five in few months time will be twenty-six"I answered.

She nooded carefully.It sent a little bit of warmth in my body and our age gap is four years.which is a pretty common difference.

She twist her lips one side and looked away from me.I took a sip of my coffee,enjoying the feeling that I am ahead"Do we have to kiss?"she suddenly asked turning back to me.

"As it is common thing for couples to do,yes."

Her eyes grew round and big"Maybe this Isn't a good idea."

Was she worried about a kiss,kisses where nothing.I took her arm on mine noticing how soft it was and quickly press a kiss to it"That wasn't so bad,was it?"I asked with a grin.

She seems to be in a shock for some moment,her cheeks turned pink she then wipe her hand off on her apron.

I raised my eyebrow.why did she went as far as wiping it off,many people were dying for a kiss from me."I. wouldn't kiss you more than want is necessary I promised but inwardly I wouldn't mind kissing her more though"she was cute and seem hygienic enough.

"You have thought this out very precisely"she muttered.

"I don't want to marry someone i don't love,Partially true and didn't want to get married period"I'd rather go for a romantic facet.

Nodding slowly,she pushed my phone back to me.I knew she hadn't read all of it but i didn't say anything.I don't know what you lifestyle is like but i think someone should not be forced into marriage.I also need the money so i will help you.

Perfect I knew she won't be able to resist for long.my offer was more than gracious.I could probably found someone else and pay less to what i offered her.but i didn't want anyone else she was the perfect candidate.I,didn't mind spending the extra money.

"On a condition though."

This was unsurprising,there was always a condition.

She leaned toward me a bit,killing spaces between us.A tactic I used to"when all this is said and done,you tell everyone I broke with you not the other way around."she presented.

I immediately caught myself leaning toward her to but quickly straighted my back"why?"

She smiled harshly with her eyes dimned and fixed on mine this time"Hmm,something about the poor girl braking the rich guy heart appeals more to me "still ending it with playful smile crossing her face.

I nodded instantly"I can agree to that term"It will be easier to explain that why I am so heart broken to my father.If she is the one to break up with me.

"But you must agree to one of my condition."

"what's that?"Isabella shot back.

"You must definitely cannot fall in love with me,I said holding her gaze."

Her beautiful eyes widen and the dimned again"Trust me that won't be a problem,you are not my type.I should be the one telling you not to fall in love with me. "

She shot back again,flipping her hair to her shoulder on the last word,holding her chin up high.

I wasn't her type?I was every girl dream man and everyone favorite and type.Why was she getting so arrogant?

I found myself folding my arms over around my chest."You are not my standards."

She raised an eyebrow and smiled a little."Then good,there won't be anymore problems."

Why did she sound so confident?she didn't find me attractive at all?

That is a good thing,I told myself.

But still I wanted her to find me a little bit charming"Sign the agreement"I said pushing the phone back to her,"Right at the bottom."

"Is it really necessary?"she asked swiping her finger across it anyway.

Satisfied,I took my phone back "Only for precaution I doubt you will back out anyway.Believe it or not.I make a pretty good boyfriend.Pretend or not."

"I will be the judge of that."she replied.

"put my number in your phone and save it.the number on the receipt is my cellphone and that's where I can be reached.I want you to send to send me your work details or schedule.so I can work around it. "I also want you to write your address,bank account number and your body measurement,I listed trying to remember everything important.

She watched me with an apprehensive expression and I paused waiting for her to comment.I knew she wanted to.

"Body measurement?"she said slowly so not losing the syllabus of every word.

"So I can find the right size of dresses for you"I shot back immediately.My eyes scanned over her body.she looked like a five feet and maybe four or five inches tall,medium build and a breasts that is somehow a little big for her form.I can't really guess her size afterall.

she shifted and my eyes rolled back into her face."I don't want clothing that are that are made for my exact size if that's what you mean.Clothing from Kris Wears is fine. "

Clothing from a Chain store?Is that what she wore?maybe that's why her breasts pushed against her button ups easily"You cannot be seen with me with a clothing from Kris Wears and if you get your custom measurement maybe your breasts won't be trying to escape your top like they are now."They are a bit larger for your size"I informed her wisely.

Her mouth dropped,her face became red while her cheeks turned pink.she opened and close her mouth for a moment as if she was at a loss for words"Get out"she finally said.

"Excuse me?"

She repeated "Get out"her voice raised but in a few high pitch.

I winched a little "why".

"Leave"she said again standing up from her seat and grab me by the collar of my shirt and pulling it.

I was a little surprise and dumbfounded,I quickly grabbed my phone and allow her to pull me out of my seat.Then I realized how much the shirt I wore cost and i made her realize it,she then decide to shove on my back towards the door"what?"I asked turning back my head to her.

She was glaring at me,"Just leave we are done for today."

Robert came up to us,looking just confused as I felt.Isabella blew out an angry look and pointed to the door"Out"

"why?"I repeated,a hint of indignity in my voice.

Robert put a hand on my shoulder.

"Let's take our leave for today"

"But why?"I tried again but he was already pushing me to the door.It closed behind us with a slam and a tinkle of bell.

Once I was outside,I smoothed down my shirt and was wondering.No one had ever pushed me around so much in my life.Where did she think got that stuff or the right to do so?

"What did you say to her that made her so offensive?"Robert asked.

I turned to him,his thought was this was my fault?I didn't say anything bad.I just said she shouldn't shop at Kris wears that her breasts where to large for her shirt and it was to tight.

He immediately burst out into laughter.

"What?"I asked

Shaking his head,he placed a hand over his mouth,trying to smother it.

"What?"I said again,now irritated.

"I knew there was a reason you are my bestfriend".He clapped his hands on my shoulder,"Let's leave for today."

still wondering what i did wrong,I walked into my car,the sound of Robert laughter following in my wake.
