Contract Marriage; Fated Love

She went to the position assigned to her company and sat down. Where she was enabled her to get a good view of the hall. Then she took a good look at the hall. It was grand and well decorated. It was the most beautiful and perfect decoration she had ever seen.

But that wasn’t her main focus.

She was only concerned about the success of her plan. She wanted to enjoy the party to the fullest knowing fully well that she was going to be an independent CEO soon, as a matter of fact, after that night.

Noah entered the hall and everyone stood up to welcome him. There was a loud noise as the workers clapped and cheered. Many of them were stunned at his physical qualities. He was well built and exceptionally handsome. Some ladies even imagined themselves in his arms. They envied Benny by his side. She looked very radiant in her attire and her beauty dazzled like the sun. She smiled sweetly and proudly by his side.

“Who is she?”

“Who’s that girl beside him? Do you know?”

“Is she his wife?”

“She must be his fiancée.”

“Oh! What a lucky girl.”

Different people with different opinions whispered about Benny in the crowd.

Noah thought of granting his workers some liberty and he allowed them to get closer to him. He had made sure that only employees were allowed and during the card swiping to enter inside, they were searched by the machine without their knowledge.

No one who had anything was allowed to enter so he felt very safe with his workers.

He sat down quietly and enjoyed the party. Throwing a party to celebrate his anniversary wasn’t a bad idea at all. He was amazed by the number of workers under his control. Possibly, some weren’t even present, so he had more than those in the hall that evening. They were all happy to have a massive party and somehow, their happiness brought joy to his heart. He found himself laughing at some point at their hilarious dance steps and actions.

His perceptive nature came to play and his eagle eye spotted one of his workers and his instinct told him to watch her closely.

He however acted like all was normal while tactfully keeping an eye on her.

The workers rallied around him which was a very rare occurrence and a once in a lifetime privilege for every one of them.

They said congrats and dropped whatever gifts they had to offer. Each person tried to outdo the other as they all made efforts to curry the president’s favour.

It was at that time that the girl tactfully, and like a master in the act, slipped whatever it was into his drink. Noah couldn’t believe it. He was even more surprised at her audacity. She dared to spike his drink.! Of course, he was the only one who noticed this discreet act. Noah had well developed sense organs. He lifted the glass and brought it closer to his nose. His sensitive nose picked up the smell.

Why will someone drug him on that day? What was the person’s aim? It wasn’t poison. His great knowledge of drugs made him know the purpose of each. This one in question was to make him feel weak, dizzy and consequently subconscious or worse still, unconscious. He kept his cool and the party continued. He refilled another glass and exchanged it with the other. He wanted to see the aim of whoever it was. He wanted to know the bastard who dared to mess with him!

He pretended to feel dizzy and excused himself.

“Is there a problem baby,” Benny asked

“No, I just feel a bit funny.”

“Maybe because you aren’t used to parties like this?”

“Maybe. Excuse me. I need to use the restroom.”

The rest room at the VIP section was well secured with security measures put in place. He was washing his face when a very beautiful young girl showed up. She was half naked and her dressing could arouse any sexually balanced man. Well, Noah wasn’t so he was disgusted at her. She came closer to him and smiled seductively. She rubbed his back and said sweetly,

“You must be feeling tired. Let me guide you to your room.”

He knew immediately that this was all part of the conspiracy and played along. He let her guide him to a room and even helped him open the door with his card. She laid him on the bed and gave him a good massage. He shifted his face when she tried to kiss him. When she thought it was time and he was nearly half conscious, she brought out a paper and a pen and tried to get him to sign the paper. This was what he was waiting for. He wanted to know who was behind this and was surprised at what he saw. The Grant family was behind this. Having confirmed it, he stood up and quit the act.

His sudden action took the girl unawares. She knew she was doomed. She fell on her knees, shedding tears and pleaded for mercy before he could say anything.

“I…. I… am.. I am so.. sorry sir. Please sir…”

“Who sent you?”

“I am sorry sir. It wasn’t me…”

Noah locked the door securely and there was no escape for her. She quickly spilled it hoping to obtain pardon for her honesty or maybe, a lesser punishment.

She was paid to seduce him and make him sign the papers. She was to slip out and never show up on his face again or breathe a word of it to anyone after the deal is done.

“I didn’t even read it, I swear. I was given strict instructions not to open it. President please, I am sorry sir. Please forgive me sir. I will never do this again.”

She lay flat on the floor pleading for mercy.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Who sent you?” Noah asked again after she was done pleading.
