His contract Girlfriend chapter 7

in front of the board

BlackTech Towers . 42nd floor.

the boardroom was all glass, marble, and men in suits who looked like they owned the world.

and me in a red dress I couldn't afford , sitting beside Damian.

ms Amara Okafor. Girlfriend.

that's what my nameplate said.

Adesuwa was already there. sitting next to Mr. Adebayo the oldest Board member. smiling like she won.

"Damian." Mr. Adebayo started. " this is a distraction, the kiss. the interview. the rumor. our investors are nervous."

"I agree." Adesuwa said sweetly. "maybe it's time you focus on the company. and on someone... More suitable."

she looked right at me

Damian didn't react. he just stepped his pen on the table.

" you called this meeting to discuss q4 projections, he said. "not my personal life."

"your personal life is the company." another Board member said. "your image is our stock price."

my hands were sweating. #2 million wasn't worth this.

I was about to stand up and quit when Damian stood.

"fine you want to talk about my personal life? his voice filled the room.

he walked around the table and stopped behind my chair.

his hand came down on my shoulder.

heavy. warm.

"then let me clear."

he looked at every single person.

"Amara Okafor is not a distraction.

she's the reason I'm still sane."

Adesuwas smile fell.

"she works two jobs to pay her mom's hospital Bills, she told my mother off to her face. she handled a public scandal with more grace than half of you in this room."

he squeezed my shoulder.

"so if you have a problem with her .

you have a problem with me. and if you have a problem with me. you can sell your shares.

silence.

the mr. Adebayo cleared his throat.

"well. Q4 projections then."

meeting over. I won . we won

in the elevator after. neither of us spoke.

the door closed.

Damian let out a breath like he'd been holding it for hours.

"why did you do that?" I whispered.

"because it was True." he said.

he turned to me. no cameras. no board. just us.

"Amara."

the elevator DINGED. floor 1

people got in. moment gone.

but before I got out. he leaned down and said in my ear:

"Dinner. tonight. my place. no cameras. no act.

my heart was pounding as I walked out.

my phone buzzed.

unknown: he'll get bored of you. they all do. check your email._A

I opened my email.

an attachment. a photo.
