Chapter 63 - Contract

Jake was surprised to see his mystery girl standing in front of his company as soon as he stepped out of his car. She looked so elegant. He had thought she looked beautiful before but it seems he was mistaken because now... she looked stunning in that formal piece.

He wondered how she keeps looking more beautiful every time he bumped into her.

Jade's heart skipped several beats when her eyes met those familiar hazel eyes. She stepped back subconsciously when Jake took a step towards her. Jade turned around in search of an escape route.

Jake's lips curved into a smile when she acted like she was about to make a run for her life. This girl keeps amusing him in every way.

Jade's head felt blank with every step he took towards her. She wished a miracle could happen and stop him from coming closer. She still hasn't forgotten how utterly insensitive this man had been to her the last time they had met at the party.

"Jake" A coquettish voice called making Jake stop on his track.

Jade noticed something caught his attention when he turned around. She decided to use the opportunity to make a run for her life. It didn't take a second more before she ran into the lobby, with the hope that he wasn't following.

Jake frowned when he saw who had called him. That slender figure looked familiar but he couldn't remember where he had met her.

He returned his gaze back to Jade, his frown deepened when he noticed she was...gone. Jake looked around to find her, but he couldn't. He sighed out in frustration.

"Jake" He heard that voice call him again as she hurried over to him with a smile hung on her face. Jake sighed when he recognized who she was. It was the girl he had met at the club last night.

"Good morning" Stephanie greeted a coy smile.

"Good morning, Miss..." He paused when he realized he didn't even remember her name. It wasn't his fault. He had never cared about knowing the names of the women he slept with, except for one. How he wished he knew her name. He was sure her name would be as beautiful as she was.

"Stephanie" Stephanie said with a shy smile as she tucked her almost perfect hair behind her ears.

"Sorry I didn't get to remember your name" Jake apologized with a smile. Honestly, he wasn't interested in having a conversation with her or any of his conquest.

"Why are you here?" Jake asked curiously.

"Well I'm here to sign a contract with you" Stephanie said with a coy smile which Jake understood perfectly.

"You're here for ProGuard?" Jake asked rhetorically. So this was the reason she had hooked up with him last night.

"Yes" Stephanie nodded.

"Sir" Jake's secretary, Patrick called. Jake turned to him with a questioning look.

"Sir it's time" Patrick informed Jake, who responded with a simple nod. He turned back to Stephanie who was trying to be obvious about her familiarity with him.

"I'll see you inside" Jake informed Stephanie before taking his leave.

Stephanie had a smug smile on her face, when she noticed a few envious eyes on her, most especially from the ladies who had been drooling over Jake when he stepped out of his car.

"Tch...What's she trying to do? Seduce him?" A Lady snorted as she glared at Stephanie. It was obvious she was trying to flaunt her familiarity with Jake. Stephanie glanced at her with a confident smile before walking into the lobby. She was sure Jake would sign with her especially after the passionate night they had shared together.

Stephanie was desperate to secure the contract with Acrosoft, so she had asked her cousin who was familiar with Jake's friends to hook her up. Since it was common knowledge that Jake was an infamous playboy, she had decided to try her luck. Fortunately, her cousin introduced her to phil who in turn introduced her to Jake.

Her heart leaped for joy when Jake didn't reject her and they had both spent a pleasurable night together. Although she had felt doubtful about Jake giving her the contract when she woke up to an empty bed with a check lying by the bedside table. But now she was sure this contract was hers.

"Jade just you wait and see" Stephanie said to herself with a proud smile on her face.

Jade's mind kept wandering back to 'him' as she rode the elevator to the conference room where the meeting had been scheduled to hold.

'Why was he there? Was he here to sign the contract too? Or maybe he worked here? Jade gasped at that thought. She shook her head at that thought.

It couldn't be. But she had seen him here before right? Maybe he had come to visit someone who works here, like she usually do visit Amy. Jade could only wish that was true. She couldn't imagine the embarrassment she'd have to face if she met that guy again.. She kept trying to convince herself against the possibility of Jake working at Acrosoft.
