Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 8
🌿LEONARDO 🌿
I arrived at the office after my breakfast meeting with a few clients .
I walked into my private elevator and frowned when someone ran into mine without checking .
I raised my eyebrows in amusement when I noticed it was non other than miss lerato .
And why is she wearing such an indecent dress today ? I wondered as her long fingers moved to pull her dress down.
She seem to be in a hurry and that’s how I noticed she was just arriving.
My eyes moved to my watch .
She’s late Again today ,She tried to put her floor number and frowned .
She Cursed under her breath and tried again .
” What. ..” she trailed probably wondering what went wrong .
” The more you try ,the more confusing it will get ,it’s not going in your direction ” I said calmly and she froze .
Her eyes widened in shock as she turned dropping her coffee in accident the process.
It splashed on his Shoes ruining my socks in the process and I winced at the hot sensation .
I raised my face in her Direction and what she said next shocked me to the bones .
” Sir it’s the Devil ” she muttered under her breath .
Realizing her blunder ,her cheeks heated in embarrassment.
” I perceive I am the Devil then ? Considering the fact that you have poured hot coffee on me twice ” I said and she opened her mouth to say something then closed it back .
” Sir …” She trailed .
” Leon ” I said and she blushed red .
” It was a mistake Sir ” she said immediately.
” Leon ” I Corrected her .
” You are my Boss ” she said in horror .
” You didn’t think twice before pouring coffee on me twice and I’m beginning to think it is now a ritual between us ” I said smirking.
” Sir I have never been this clumsy ,I don’t know what is happening to me lately I just ….” She trailed .
” I’m not forgiving you this time around ” I said and the elevator came to a stop .
I walked out and I could feel her behind me .
She cursed under her breath followed by noise .
I turned and she picked her bag ,my eyes moved over to her Backside and suprisingly I couldn’t look away.
She had tiny waist and her long Beautiful legs complimented her behind .
I pinched the bridge of my nose and cursed under my breath .
Such dresses are not even aloud in the office ,I am a man of great self control and this African woman …..
” Good morning Mr Delgado …” Jeff trailed staring at my feets then his eyes went to miss lerato .
He chuckled and one look from me shut him up .
” Get me now shoes ” I said walking towards my office.
” It will be new pants the next time ” I heard him Chuckle but decided to ignore him .
I walked into my office then took off my shoes .
The weekend is getting closer and I still don’t know what to do about the whole fake girlfriend situation .
Miss Lerato already said No to my face and I am not about to ask another girl to fake date me .
I took off my shoes and wore a room slippers l normally use anytime I stay overnight at the office .
” Sir Miss lerato wants to see you ” Jeff said coming in and I raised my eyebrows at him .
” She is standing outside ” he said walking over to me with the new shoes .
” Let her in ” I said sitting down on my arm chair .
She walked in and stared at my office then back at me .
Jeff bowed and exited the room immediately .
” Have a sit miss lerato ” I offered then gestured towards the chair .
She sat down and stared at me keenly.
” Is there something on my face ? I asked softly and she shook her head negatively.
She’s cute
” Sir ,I swear whatever happened in the elevator was not my intention …I ” she trailed
” You said that already” I cut her shot and she opened and closed her mouth like a fish .
” Sir have you forgotten about the incident ? She asked hopefully.
” No ” I said holding her gaze . She looked away suddenly feeling intimidated .
” Sir this job is really important for me ” she said and I smirked .
I felt like actually laughing but held it in .
I have never met such a dramatic person . I guess she feels I will fire her after her second mistake .
Leaning on my chair I stared at her face .
Button nose and long black lashes.
Her lips ,I looked away before I could think about them.
” You poured hot coffee on me twice yet said no when I asked you for a favor ” I said and she looked up .
” Sir you asked me to be your fake girlfriend ” she said like it was a sin or something .
” So ? I asked staring at her and she stared back in shock .
” That is a crazy request ” she said frowning .
” Pouring hot coffee on me is crazier miss lerato ” I said and she glared daggers at me .
” So you are going to fire me ? She asked softly.
” Think about my proposal ” I said back .
” Sir you are blackmailing me .
” I’m going to pay you just name your price ,I just need you for a few months ,trust me it’s just normal publicity stunt . Convince my family especially my mom …” I trailed .
” Sir you want to lie to your mom ! She said in horror.
” You won’t understand ” I said running my fingers in my hair .
” Sir I can’t …” She trailed .
“There’s no sex involved if that’s what you are worried about ,we just have to pretend on front of people that is it ,plus you have to stay a month with me in Costa Rica ..” I trailed explaining everything.
She stared at me silently.
” Please” I said and she stared at me in suprise.
” Okay ” she muttered under her breath and I stared at her in shock .
” What ? ” I asked .
” I said okay ” she said and I had to control myself from actually dancing.
” Oh , good good ..I will inform Jeff to get my lawyer to draw the contract .” I said and she rubbed her hands nervously.
” Sir is it really necessary ,I mean the contract ? She asked .
” I am a business man ,it is very necessary ” I said and she gave a nod .
” How about dinner tonight ,so we can talk about this properly ? I asked and she hesitated for a while .
” Please” I said before I could stop myself.
I am not the type to ask for things not even from scar or mom .
But here I am saying please twice to the same woman .
“Sir your meeting in five minutes” Jeff said interrupting us .
She got up and gave a nod before leaving my office.
Jeff stared at her excitedly then back to me .
” I pay you to mind your business Jefferson” i said and he laughed.
Hopefully she meets me up for dinner because I am about to loose my mind .

🌻 IMANI 🌻
You said yes ? What where you fvcking thinking ? My mind asked immediately I got to my office .
He said please and I just couldn’t resist .
Besides I feel like I owe him one considering the fact that i poured hot coffee on him twice and he didn’t react .
Fake girlfriend ? My mind asked again .
You’re playing take girlfriend , meaning he is playing fake boyfriend too .
Besides I get to walk away with money and he’s not going to get in between my legs .
Plus mom can finally get off my neck for a few months .
It is a win win situation for the both of us .
I don’t think I can tell anyone as of now , because I don’t need more teasing from the girls .
Hopefully they won’t keep Zuri posted about what is going on because if Zuri gets the information, mom gets it too .
After work ,I packed my car and strolled into the estate .
” Goodevning Imani dear ” Nana said and I smiled at the old woman .
” Good evening Nana how was your day ? I asked taking out my keys from my bag.
” It was fine dear, since when did you start wearing short dresses ” she asked and I turned with a smile .
” I know you really want to get married dear but wearing short dresses wouldn’t bring you a good man . Real men don’t eat open food ” she started her long lectures .
” Be a good girl Imani, I think the Nigerian girl and your English friend is beginning to rub off on you ” she trailed .
” Nana please stop it ” i said and her jaws dropped in shock .
” I will listen to anything you have to say but not a word about Tega and Avy . I pay my house rent and you pay yours so stay in your limits ” I said before I could stop myself.
” Oh my goodness ! She screamed in horror.
” You heard me and one more thing ,tell your daughters to know what birth control is all about ..” I said and she placed one hand on her heart she looked like she will pass out from the shock .
” They are taking God’s word too serious ,when he said we should to to the world and multiply ,he wasn’t speaking directly to them ” I said and walked into my apartment .
I could hear her throw harsh words saying I will be nothing like her daughters .
I rubbed my forehead after my outburst .
Anger has always been my weakness ,once i am angry ,I tend to say hurtful things without controlling myself .
Meeting with Mr Delgado by 8pm ,Flora’s Dinner
I stared at the text then threw my phone on my bed .
Sighing softly I went into the bathroom to freshen up .
I changed into something casual .
Feeling a bit under the weather so I wore comfy clothes instead .
What if it’s a formal dinner ? My mind asked .
I don’t care it’s not like We are a real couple or something .
So technically ,I have a boyfriend now ? I wondered.
” Fake boyfriend ” I muttered under my breath.
I wore my sneakers and checked my outfit out in the mirror . Black Sweater and Boyfriend jeans before walking out of my apartment .
The drive to the restaurant was a bit long ,I got down and walked inside .
” Welcome to Flora’s Dinner ” the man at the door welcomed me in .
” This way madame” the Waiter said .
” I’m here for Mr ..” I trailed .
” Delgado of D constructions right ? He is in the Vip section and has asked me to escort his lady ” He said and I gave a nod speechlessly.
His lady ?
I walked into the VIP section and he seem to be busy with a phone call .
My eyes trailed how Sexy he looked .
Black
What does he like the color black do much .
” Scar I am out on ,Why do you wanna know ? He asked the chuckled .
” I will talk to you later Sis , Fine Gracias ” he said and cut the call .
” Hey ” he said as his eyes trailed my outfit.
” Goodevning” I said trying to be comfortable in his presence .
How do I even shake off the fact that I am with my Boss and it’s not even office hours.
” Have a sit ” he said and I sat down ,my eyes scanned the area .
” This place is beautiful ” I said and he smiled .
” Glad you feel so ” he said and I bit my lower lip to stop myself from staring at his attractive face .
How the hell am I supposed to fake Date this man 😭😭😭
How just How ?
