And there came Roman out of nowhere after she was finally finding herself again.

So the contract thing how are you going about it. He asked

No it will still be what you want it to be . He said following her through the crowd

Business, nothing more and no one understands the situation better than i do

She stopped walking .

Look , i think that some one to do anything relationship with is some one off my work area , even if it is fake. I thought that you were really professional.With that she walked out without ever looking back.

After staring for a second, Amara, said

Why do you like it when other people are in love but hate it foe yourself?

Hmm, Imani sighed. Where is this coming from, look if you are going to advise me to get married because you think my life would be better that way i should better get going.

Amara, took her hand .

You know that i am with you on what ever you decide but atleast just get a taste for yourself then if it does not work out

You can damn them all.

Yeah, exactly thats why i want to do fake marriage to convince my mother that marriage is not for me.

What, you want to get married for fake.

Well if you said, you both are facing the same thing that mean, that he understands the situation more than any random guy you will find out there to not the tie for fake

But if you are still not sure about maybe you should come up with the terms for agreement.

Oh yeah , i will think about that , so now lets celebrate that i finally signed the wonderful contract and that you met Matthew and you can tell me everything about him .
