CEO'S CONTRACT MARRIAGE

In the kitchen of Five~Star Hotel, the curtain was firmly closed, dirty dishes were scattered in the wash bins. Liana sighed out loud seeing everywhere scattered, she immediately raised the curtain up and started washing the dishes. Not long after she was done, the rest of the staff started coming in. As soon as they saw everything was all cleaned, they smiled.

"Thank you so much, Liana" One of the staff said and she nodded.

Finally, the alarm rang and people started entering the hotel. Liana stood up from where she was and attended to the customers. She was still speaking to the customers when her Boss Tony Black stepped into the Hotel with a lady. Immediately the staff saw him, they greeted but he ignored them and went upstairs with the lady.

"Tina, can you stop staring at him, he has gone upstairs already" A voice said.

They turned back to see Thomas, Tina scoffed seeing him while Liana smiled and ordered him to give the plates of food to the customer in room 204. Thomas frowned and Liana tucked her tongue out, he left angrily.

A minute later, a man named Lucas entered the kitchen, he is the manager of the company. Seeing him they stopped chatting and continued what they were doing.

"Laina, go and serve Mr Tony and his mistress the dishes and give them the best red wine" He ordered and she nodded.

He left. As soon as he left, Liana sighed out loud, she had no choice so she served the dishes and took it to the private room, her boss was staying. She knocked on the door but when nobody responded, she barged in. Getting inside she heard a loud moan and groaning coming from the room as she went further inside the room the scene she saw made her cheek flushed red. She can't believe she just saw her boss and his mistress having sex without any shame in front of her. Bowing her head down she walked towards the table to put the tray and silently she turned to leave but Tony called her suddenly making her stop in her tracks.

"Pour me the wine" He ordered.

"Oh shit' She mumbled.

She turned to them and poured him the drink, she gave it to him then he gulped it, she stood there staring at them.

"Will you stop staring at us and leave, bi**h" The lady said with a frown.

"Who is the bi**h between her and i" She thought and left.

She walked into the kitchen angrily and sat down on the chair, Tina moved closer to her and asked if she had anything to share with me and her mind drifted to what she saw in the room then she immediately shook her head.

"You guys should stop chatting and attend to the customers" Thomas said and Tina frowned.

Liana walked out of the kitchen to attend to the customers, she hadn't seen them here before.

"Honey, why did you want us to come here, let's go to our private hotel" The woman next to the man said.

Liana immediately stopped the woman who was about to leave.

'Ma'am, our hotel is a very nice place, we would surely give you whatever you want to put a smile on your face and show you how nice the hotel is" She said and the woman rolled her eyes.

"Let's see if what you said is right" The woman muttered.

She nodded.

They ordered for a room and the attendant gave them a key to the room they asked for, they were going upstairs when Tina mistakenly hit the woman with the tray of dishes she was taking upstairs and the dishes poured on the woman.

"What?' The woman exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, ma'am" Tina said, touching the woman.

"How dare you touch me, you this fool?" The woman yelled and pushed her away.

She fell down landing her butt on the floor, the woman screamed and kept yelling at her, the man held her hand trying to calm her down but she yanked her hand away then stormed out, the man glared at Liana.

"I should have listened to her when she..."

His sentence was interrupted.

"We are sorry, Sir" Liana said.

The man glared at her then left. As soon as the man left, Lucas walked towards them, he glared dangerously at them before speaking.

"Tina, you are fired" He said and left.

Tears streamed down her face hearing what she said, Liana felt pity for her, she pulled her in a hug. She couldn;t hold the tears.

"Is that what you're here to do" A voice said and they turned to see Tony standing in front of them.

They immediately bow their heads down, the lady standing next to him smirked and smiled at him. Tony glared at them and left with his mistress, Tina went to the dressing room to change into her outfit after she was done, she left as soon as she was done.

"Will you attend to the customer or you also want to get fired" Lucas said and she went to attend to the customers.

Hours later, Liana left work quite late that evening, She bade goodnight to Thomas and left the hotel. She was too exhausted to walk home so she waited for a cab to drive by. After waiting for a few minutes, she began to walk home. It took her over thirty minutes to get home. When she got inside, she went to her mom's room to check if she was asleep. Getting there she met her mom and was about to lay down on the bed, as soon as Mrs Victoria saw her, she walked towards her.

"How was work today?" Mrs Victoria asked, gazing at her.

'Fine, I am tired... i need to sleep early, bye mom" She said and her mom nodded.

She left the room and went to check on her sister, who had already slept then she left. Getting to her room, she slumped on the bed tiredly and kicked off her shoes from her feet.

"I need to take a shower" She muttered and managed to stand up.

She undressed her clothes and wrapped a towel on her. After taking a shower, she put on her pyjamas and locked the door. She pushed the window open for fresh air and lay on the bed, she slept.

TBC.

The next morning, Liana woke up and looked at the time when she saw what time it was she cursed herself waking up late as she was already 30 minutes late for her work

After some minutes, she emerged from the bathroom and quickly got dressed, combing her hair into a neat bun, and she scurried out of the room. Walking towards the living area she saw her sister already eating. She greeted their mom and rushed out. She flagged down a cab and got in, she told the driver her destination address. After a while, she got to her destination, she hopped out of the car and ran into the Hotel. Liana pushed the door open and went inside the hotel. As soon as she entered she met Lucas who was frowning his face, she greeted him but he ignored her.

"Liana, can you please clean Boss's private room, i need to use the washroom" Thomas said and she nodded.

She took the equipment.

She got to the room and saw everything in the room scattered with a messy bed. She changed the bed and pillow cover with a fresh one.

Minutes later, she was done and left the room. She was walking out of the room without watching where she was going when she bumped into someone. She raised her head and the person turned out to be her boss. Tony glared at her dangerously and she immediately bowed her head down and greeted him.

"Are you blind? Can't you watch where you're going" He said, furiously.

"I am sorry" She mouthed and ran away.

She ran into the kitchen, she breathed heavily, she poured herself a glass of water and gulped it. She inhaled and exhaled, she walked towards Thomas with a frown and hit him slightly.

"Next time you do this, you will see my worst" She muttered and left the kitchen.

"Will you guys stop chatting and attend to the customers?" Lucas shouted and they came out.

Liana walked closer to a man who was busy smoking, a lady was next to him, she greeted them and they responded. She started to tell them about the hotel and then gave them a key to the room they asked for her. Not long after the man and his mistress went upstairs, Lucas called her and informed her to give dishes to those in room 209. She nodded and did as he said. As soon as she served the dishes, she left the room. She was on her way downstairs when he heard a deep voice, she recognised who it was and had her head lowered as she turned back slowly. Tony extinguished his cigarette and stared at her.

"Raise your head up" He commanded.

Liana's mind drifted to what happened in the room, she shook her head and Tony raised her chin and squinted, "It's you again"

She nodded slowly and turned her away and caressed her cheek.

"I'm sorry, Boss" She said and was about to leave when he held her hand.

"You look pretty" He said with a smile.

"Oh shit, what's all this?" She thought.

Tony, however, could not read her thoughts and continued to stare at her. Some minutes later, he was still speaking with her when Lucas showed up, he was surprised to see them together, he glared at Liana before speaking

"Your mom is coming upstairs now" He whispered.

"I need to leave now" Liana said, walking away.

He immediately pulled her closer and pinned her to the wall, he kissed her, Lucas was shocked seeing his boss kissing her. As soon as Ms. Black saw them together, she smiled and walked towards and tapped him.

"Mom," He muttered.

Ms.Black smiled at them, she turned to Liana and saw her in the work uniform. She frowned and moved closer to Tony then slapped him. A gasped tore from everyone.

" You can fool everyone but not me. If truly she is your girlfriend why is she putting on the company uniform"

Laina ran downstairs. She carried the plate into the kitchen and told Thomas to prepare a steak so that she can serve it to the customers, he nodded, then she left the kitchen to attend to some customers that just arrived.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the hotel, Tony was in his office speaking with his mom, with the expression on his face, it was obvious that she is still angry at him.

"How are you gonna explain this? Do you take me as a fool? I gave you three days to bring your girlfriend to the Mansion but you didn't, now i saw you kissing one of your staffs" She said but he didn't say anything.

He was too dumbfounded to even speak.

"Don't you have anything to say about this? "

He managed to say something after some minutes, his mom was shocked when he was done speaking.

"You truly loved the girl" She muttered and he nodded.

"Okay, bring her home and introduce her to us" She said.

"Okay, mom" He mouthed.

As soon as Mrs. Black left, he frowned.

"Fuck!" He groaned in anger and frustration, pushing away everything on his table.

Lucas rushed in and was shocked to see everything was smashed and scattered on the floor, seeing it was Lucas, he sprang up from his seat and walked out. Getting downstairs he met Liana attending to some customers, he rushed to where she was fuming with rage, he was about to tap her when someone called him. He turned back to see his bestfriend Liam standing in front of him, he glared at Liana dangerously and left to meet Liam.

"Hey bro" He said with a smile and brought his hand for a shake.

They shook hands together and gave a tight bro hug because it had been a while since they saw each other, so they went to his office to have some conversation. When they got inside, he narrated everything that happened to him.

"How am i gonna tell her..."

His sentence was interrupted.

"Cut it out bro, seems like you have forgotten who you are . You're Tony Black, the only son of Black and the CEO of Five Stars Hotel, one of the city's youngest Billionaires" Liam reminded him as if he had forgotten who he was.

"Yes, that's true" He said with a nod.

"And this lady we are speaking about is working under you so it is easy to make her pretend to be your girlfriend...you have to give her some time to think about it" Liam said, gazing at her.

"Yes, that's ..." He was cut off by his ringing cell phone and Liama took the phone for him.

"It's your Dad" Liam announced to him, bringing the phone to him.

"I can't take it... Let's go out and have fun" He said and they left.

TBC.

Tony came to the Company because he wanted to have some conversation with Liana about what his mother told him. He sat down in his office waiting patiently for liana to show up when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" He muttered.

Liana stepped in. As soon as she saw him, she bowed her head down and greeted him, he answered and asked her to sit.He stood up from his seat and moved closer to her, he was about to touch her when she stood up, he pinned her down and looked at her, his breath tickled her soft skin.

"What are you doing, sir?" She asked

"What am I doing?" Said Tony, hoarsely.

Suddenly he smiled and gripped her hand tightly, "Liana, i want you to pretend to be my girlfriend for a year" He said and looked over her body.

"N..o..no" She stuttered.

He smirked and pulled her closer to himself, he was about to kiss her when she pushed him away then ran out. He smirked and rubbed his hand on his hair. He left the office and went downstairs when he got there, he met Liana and Thomas chatting, he frowned and called her but she didn't hear. He walked towards them and tapped her.

"Miss Liana, are you deaf, can't you hear I have been calling you for a few minutes now?" He scolded her, raising his voice at her.

"I am sorry , Boss" She apologised.

Thomas left and went to attend to the customer, Liana was walking away when he held her hand, he moved closer to her.

"If you don't accept my proposal I will make your life miserable here" He said in a whisper.

He left her hand and she left to attend to the few of the customers that were standing. Tony was walking out of the Hotel when his phone suddenly rang, he picked up as he hopped into the car then drove out of the building.

On the other hand, Liana was attending to a customer when Lucas commanded to leave whatever she was doing and asked her to take the tray of food that Thomas was holding to take it to room 203, she frowned and did as he instructed. Getting to the front of the door, she knocked on the door then a lady opened it.

"I didn't call for you so why are you here?" The lady said with a frown.

She checked the number of the room and was confused.

"But Mr Lu.."

She didn't complete her statement when the lady shut the door on her. She sighed and glanced at the door.

"What are you still standing there for?" An octave voice asked and hearing the familiar voice, she knew who it was.

She walked towards Lucas and stared at him for a while before walking her. When she got back downstairs, she heard a woman screaming.

"I need to speak with the manager" The woman shouted.

She rushed to the woman.

"Are you the manager? If you are not, go and call the manager, "the woman said.

"Ma'am you need to calm down" She said and the woman slapped her.

A gasped tore from everyone

Her tantrum attracted the attention of the other customers in the Hotel, disrupting the serenity of the place. Most of them began to murmur. After all, it's widely believed the customers are always right.

"Calm down, ma'am" Lucas said as he climbed the stairs.

The man next to the woman consoles her, reaching for the pudgy arms.

Thomas narrated everything to him and he got angry then slapped him.

"We are sorry for everything, ma'am...She's gonna get you a new order" He assured the woman.

The woman nodded and Lucas turned to Thomas with a frown.

"Why are you still standing here, go get her what she ordered for" He scolded.

Lucas went to the kitchen to get her ordered. The woman and the man went back to their room. Liana shook her slowly and went to the kitchen top check on Thomas. Going inside, she saw him serving the food.

"Let me help you with it" She said and collected the tray from him.

She left the kitchen and took the meal to the room.

Hours Later, Liana left the Hotel early, flagged down a cab and got in, she told the driver her destination. After some minutes, she got to her destination, she hopped out of the car and ran to her best friend Rina's apartment. When she got to the apartment, Rina wasn't around so she guessed she hadn't come back from work.. She tried calling her number but it was not reachable. She sighed and sat down on a chair waiting patiently for her. Not long after, Rina showed up, she was surprised to see her.

"Babe, why didn't you inform me you are coming here" Rina asked as they hugged themselves.

"I wanna surprise you because it's been a while since I visited you" She replied and Rina nodded..

Rina brought a key to unlock the door and then they went inside. When they got to the room, Liana sat down on the chair while Rina went to the kitchen to get her a cold drink. She was busy pressing her phone when Rina showed up and dropped the drink on the table.

"How was work?" Rina asked as she sat down next to her.

"Fine.. I wanna tell you something" She said and Rina was curious about what she wanted to say.

She narrated everything that happened to Rina.

"That's bad... I think you should accept his proposal or what do you think?" Rina asked, gazing at her.

She frowned and shook her head. She dropped the phone on the chair and sighed out loud.

"There are more than a thousand girls in this city, he should pick one of them and not me" She muttered.

Rina nodded slowly and she took the drink then gulped it.

"C'mon babe, don't think about it... everything will be fine" Rina assured.

"Hmm" She hummed and nodded.
