THE GAY BARTENDER

Chapter thirty two

Laura looked at the man sitting infront of her . His brunette hair looked well trimmed and well kept , with his broad shoulder leaning against his seat .Even without standing , she knew that he was quite very tall.

She took another sip from her drink awkwardly . He had been staring at his phone for over ten minutes now and not even sparing her a glance. She shifted uncomfortably on her sit . Laura was starting to worry , maybe the deal was like a trap to get her or maybe he wanted to have his way with her , but he didn’t look interested in her, not even a little bit.

Laura was so anxious to hear about the deal when it was offered by Chloe , Getting married for a year wasn’t a bad idea. She thought . her eyes grew big when she learnt how much she would be paid on a monthly basis , if she takes on this deal , she would be getting her body’s worth . She would start so many businesses of her own and even grow the bakery with Maya . She was very optimistic of this new found opportunity. Her mothere was getting worse her condition was worsening and she needed to get more funds for her . She thanked the heavens for this new opportunity. She left the house that morning witout telling her mum since she went back to stay with her mom to cut on expenses. She stopped a cab and told the taxi driver the venue that Chloe told her . She was not surprised of how big the building was anybody willing to pay her such a huge amount of money to be his wife, was surely very wealthy . She was ushered in by an old man who told her to follow him. She looked around to see if she could find Chloe but she could not .

Now here she was , waiting and praying patiently for the man infront of her to say a word . She took the time to study the living room .It was really huge , she loved the way he kept the colours all neutral , as neutral as possible if you asked me. She looked up at the beautiful chandelier hanging on the ceiling . He sure had a nice taste.

He finally dropped his phone on his table as he looked at lazily .

‘’Sorry for the delay , I had to settle with someone .’’ he said with his dark eyes peering into hers.

‘’It’s fine .’’ she let out a reassuring smile .

‘’Miss Adams?’’

‘’Just call me Laura and you?’’she asked trying to be as polite as possible .

‘’My name doesn’t matter , Am sure Chloe must have briefed you on the contract and the details?’’ He said sitting up.

‘’Not all, she said it would be better if I talked to you personally.’’

‘’True.’’ He nodded.

‘’So when do I get the contract?’’ she asked impatiently.

‘’Right now , but before that , how good is your acating skills ?’’ he asked looking at her intently.

‘’very good.’’ He grinned .

‘’Back in highschool , I was always selected for a school drama and I always delivered.’’

‘’Impressive , because you are going to bedoing a lot of acting .’’

‘’I don’t have any problem with that , but may I ask why you need a awife for just a year?’

‘’That’s not your business, your business is to always be there at my beck and call.’’

‘’But I need to know some certain things about the contract’’ she scoffed .

‘’Jasmine has already told you what you need to knw , what should be worried about is how payments would be made ‘’ he said non chanlantly.

She cursed herself for what her lifge had become. Soighning unknown contracts from strangers just to meet ends meat. She also cursed her father for abandoning her and her mother to fend for themselves .Her mum could barely even walk , so there was no way she could work . Laura had to do this , she had to, for the sake of her mother.

‘’If you are not interested and you want to keep asking all these , you can walk out the door .’’ he said.

‘’Of course I am , I just feel like I have every right to knw why. But since you don’t want to tell me, them it’s fine ‘’ she shrugged.

‘’Good ‘’ he turned around and beckoned on the old man who stood by the entrance .

‘’Cosmos , can you get me the file.’’

‘’Ok sir.’’ Cosmos replied as he headed inside.

He took the bottle of wine on the table . He carefully poured into his cup and took a sip.

Laura stretched her hands towards the bottle that was drawn towards him . she was tired of acting all good girl and nice . she knew that acting good girl wasn’t taking her anywhere but just broker and broker.

She needed to toughen up so that he won’t play her . She wasn’t a newbie when it came to men . The more you acat all nice , the more they would want you to submit to their every demand . 

 I f he wants to be bossy to her? Then she would be a million times more bossy.
