The CEO (Contract marriage)

Andrew Pov

The cool breeze was making flowers dance while I stood in my office watching the beautiful view. I took a sip of my black steaming coffee while ruffling my soft silky honey brown hairs.

A sigh of relief escaped my mouth as the meeting went well and finally, my company, Ford teach company, have a deal with Lee Min Jun. The guy had been against us but as it is said 'Money can buy anything' I always believed it because of which I was here today.

A smirk made its place on my face as my blue eyes looked at the beautiful scenery in front of me. Being on the top floor of the biggest company surely made me feel proud, and it has its advantages too.

The orange-pink shade sky hinted that it was about to be nigh after some time.

The knock on my door made me turn, to face another side of the room. The secretary, Ms. Emma was standing there looking at the ground.

"What is it?" I asked her as I took my seat with a blank face.

"I have checked all these files. I would take my leave now, sir." She said still not looking at me.

She was the only secretary who has been working for me for so long as she knew what her place was and never tried to seduce me or wore a slutty cloth.

"Okay." I nodded while checking the papers on my table that she kept.

******

"Ah, finally." I messaged my temple as all the files were at last finally reviewed by me. I looked at my hand watch to see it was 9 pm.

I stood up ready to have some drinks for celebrating today's successful meeting and then head home.

"Time is passing at snail's pace today." I lay on my bed with a groan and the old bed also made a loud noise. My whole body was shouting at me to sleep and gave myself some rest but my eyes became wide when I remembered that...

"I have still work left." Why my life was full of work? My head felt so heavy because of the lack of sleep. Yet I dragged myself to my small bathroom for changing my clothes.

My dark red hairs were in a messy bun while I wore a small waitress dress. The reflection wasn't appealing to me.

I never liked to go to a club for a party or anything else. But my fate! Now I have to go there every single day for work. I even have to face many idiot-drunken-jerk men.

I felt like crying at my luck but I have to be brave, that was what my father always told me. I had to endure every pain and hardship to achieve what I wanted.

'Work hard to get what you want because you can't get anything for free in this monstrous world where everyone is trying to get benefit from others' weaknesses.'

It was not only about me but my family, all this I have been doing was because I wanted my family to live nicely. I wanted them to rely on me and not be worried about anything.

But in all this, I have forgotten about myself.

I laughed at the word 'My life' there wasn't anything like this for me. All I have ever done after my father passed away was because of my family.

Shutting all my thoughts I walked out of the home with a hoodie and baggy pants on.

I didn't want my mother to know what work I do or which type of cloth I have to wear.

After walking for half an hour I finally reached the club. It was looking disgusting from outside. Not the building as it was beautiful but the inside.....the sweaty bodies dancing so closely. Many ugly men were looking hungrily at girls who were dressed in too short clothes. Why did even they wear clothes? I literally wanna ask them that but then again it was their life, their choice.

The VIP room was on the top, where I was needed today. After removing the hoodie and pants in the staff room, I walked inside the elevator which led to the room.

The room was huge, with a one-side glass wall from where dancing people beneath could be seen and expensive sofas. It has a bar specially designed for the people who wanted this room. I have to just serve whoever it was and whatever type of drink he or she asked for.

There were more than a hundred types of drinks placed. The whole room shouted rich. Only a wealthy man or woman could buy this room and I didn't know who was this another idiot who thought to waste his or her money here. But I shouldn't care because they waste their money here, and I would get that as my salary, so I should be glad.

*****

I stood surprised looking at that guy before me. I mean let's just say the truth, most of the men that I would serve would be having white hairs with yellow teeth as if they haven't brushed them for decades. Their thick neck would have a gold chain, and their stomach, so big that before them their stomach reaches the bar.

But the male in front of me wasn't anything like that, he looked like a decent man with white shining teeth and a well-built body. His jaw was so sharp like a knife and his eyes resembled the color of the sea.

I didn't know that I was checking him out until he smirked and tapped on the counter making me look away from him.

Embarrassed, that was what I was feeling. Gosh, why would I do that?

'Cheese and crackers! What am I doing? Idiot girl!'

"Um- what would you like Sir?" I asked with a polite smile, trying my best not to make eye contact.

I smirked at the girl in front of me, she was beautiful that I can say and before I could stop myself I said.....

"You?" For me, it was more like a question. Wait! Why would I even say that? Damn man, you are an idiot. One nightstand wasn't a big deal for me but by her face which changed into an unhappy one, I knew she wasn't a big fan of it.

"What drink would you like?" She said more sternly but a forced smile was still on her face.

"6 shots of Vodka," I said as she nodded and turned to take a bottle of vodka. Drinking wasn't in my usual routine. As I don't have time to drink but when I have, I like to drink a lot. High tolerance for drinking is helpful as I don't get drunk easily.

I was fucking wrong, he wasn't a decent man. He was being a pervert and brat but then I think it was because of his state cause he was drunk.

"Alyssa James Dalton~~" The annoying fuc- man, who I thought was a nice guy sang my name loudly.

"What is it!" I shouted in anger, but he looked at me with his big doe eyes and a pout.

"You talk to your customers like this?" Even though his face was cute, his sentence held a threat.

"What do you need....sir," I said with gritted teeth.

"More whiskey," He smiled so big that I felt his face would tear down into two..... 'Rub it, don't imagine it cause It's horrible to picture.'

"No sir, I don't think so. You are already drunk." I said not wanting to give this drunken man more drink.

"Give. Me. A. Drink." He said angrily and I rolled my eyes.

"He and his mood swings," I muttered to myself as I bend forward to take the whiskey bottle which was placed on the lower shelf.

"Yo that ass!" He shouted on which I glared at him. I wanna punch his face but when he pulled his lips out, I wanted to pinch his cheeks at that time.

Gosh, this man was making me crazy too, just like he was. I didn't want to give him more spirit as he had already finished two bottles of vodka and one of whiskey. But still, I couldn't do anything.

I was about to pour the liquid into the glass but he took the bottle and gulped the half liquor in one go.

"My father doesn't like me, he just orders me around." He said looking like a baby.

I didn't know if he was saying the truth but if he was then I felt sympathy for him. His arrogant jerk father just wanted to control his life, he never loved him and the same would go for his stepbrother who hated him to the core.

"What do you think about me?" He looked at me with his big cute eyes.

"Pervert." Before I could think the word was out of my mouth.

"I'm CEO of a big company, you can't say bad things about me like this." He snorted on which I rolled my eyes again and raised a brow.

"How about pervert CEO," I laughed when he tried to look angry.

Tonight was the first night when I had fun serving someone, but it all ended. His bodyguard came to take him back but not before he asked me to join him for a nice night on which I yet again rolled my eyes.

Today was different, I met a stranger who I named 'Pervert CEO' as I didn't know his real name. But no one knew what was coming next, I didn't know that man wasn't going to be a stranger for long.

Andrew Pov

Terrible, that was what I felt when I woke up because of the annoying sun rays that had been able to escape from the curtain and hit my face directly.

I looked beside me to see a glass of water with a headache pill on the side table, mentally making a note to thank Catherine for doing this, I took the medicine.

Gulping the water down from the glass, I went through my morning routine.

******

"Are you sure you wanna PA?" Noah asked. Well, this annoying man who would usually eat my mind from his blabbering and would make me want to punch his face was sadly my friend and a Ceo of a big company.

"Why can't I get one?"

"You are working for five years and you never want a PA, why now?" He was curious, which meant he would not leave me until I would tell him what he wanted.

"There is a lot of work nowadays and it would be better to have someone who can do some of my work." My head was hurting like a bitch but I still focused on the paperwork that I was doing.

"Be careful." I nodded knowing why he was saying that.

After attending one last meeting for today I was ready to meet someone, I didn't know what to say or do but some questions have to be answered.

"What drink would you like sir?" I asked the four men who were sitting where I was serving today.

"Beer for all of us." Nodding, I turned around to take the drink they wanted.

"Today, it's too busy here." Startled I looked toward the voice to see my friend looking at me.

"You gave me a heart attack Eva!" Laughing at me, she handed an envelope to me.

"Not with this again. How many of these have been given to me this week?" I raised a brow as she shrugged.

"Shouldn't be you like.....happy?"

"Seriously, these....these sons of guns don't have enough courage to talk to me even. Who knows if they are one of those old men who come here. What angers me more is they don't wanna go on a date or something, but more like one-night thingy." Shaking my head I tore the envelope which would have a letter from some random guy asking for me to call them or some shit like that.

"Here is your order." Keeping the drinks in front of them I walked out of the bar for some fresh air as I was feeling suffocated in there.

****

"Aren't you lonely here?" A voice asked me from behind.

"No, I'm not and you better leave me alone." I was irritated that even outside the club I could not get some time alone, I took my mobile to see it was 10:30 pm only. Why could not time pass fastly?

*******

"What is it?" I asked Eva who was serving a guy.

"Nothing, but I know one thing, you are supposed to serve them." She smirked while I looked at the crowd which was mostly of girls in front of the bar.

"Umm.....What's going in here?" I muttered to myself. Girls were pushing each other to come near the bar, some were trying to talk to the guy who was sitting at the stool.

'Wait, why do I feel like I have seen him?'

"No, no....it can't be! Or is it really him? Why I'm so anxious, could be that he wants to drink. Calm down, you don't know him." After thinking a lot I finally walked near them and asked the guy and other girls what drink would they like.

"I would like to talk to you in private." His voice was deep but soft.

"What do you want to talk about sir?" I looked around to see many girls glaring at me. What was the problem with these girls here?

"Somewhere alone." He looked at me with his blue eyes.

'They are so pretty.' Shaking my head, I scolded myself.

'Dumbo just focus on your work.'

"Umm, I'm working here. I can't leave just to talk to you." The reason for not going with him alone was that I didn't wanna be alone with him but my friend has a problem saying wrong things at bad times.

"I will take care of everything here, you can go." That sly cat, a smirk was as clear as a day on her face.

"Ah, I owe you." The pervert CEO said as he asked me to follow him. With a glare at Eva, I walked out of the club with him.

"What do you wanna talk about?" I raised a brow, wanting to be done as fast as I could be with this conversation.

"Did something happen yesterday?" His intense gaze was making it hard to look at him. Why was I feeling like this? Yeah, maybe I was going crazy.

"What d'you mean?" Even though I knew what he meant from the question I wanted to make sure.

"You were the one who served me last night so did anything happen when I got drunk?" Why was he so curious? Did he go around asking this from every girl with whom he spent the night?

"No." Fidgeting with my ring, I stood there not knowing where to look or what else to

say to him. God knew better why I was acting so different in front of him.

"Nothing?" Annoyed I looked at him.

"D'you want anything to happen between us?"

"Ye- I mean no...no I was just asking." His cheeks were changing into crimson red.

"You're worrying about nothing, I gotta go." It wasn't good getting comfortable with him, who knew who he was? Oddly, I have met him two times but still didn't know his name.

********

"What!?" I snapped at Eva who was annoying me.

"Don't you dare to give me that look, I wanna know what happened there?" It would be the sixth or seventh time she had asked the same question.

****

"You aren't telling me that you don't wanna talk to him again." After telling her everything this was what she said.

"Why can't I say that?"

"Because he is a guy of every girl's dream. Girls would do anything for just a glance of his." I couldn't believe these girls, why did they have to be like this?

"Is he prince or something?"

"Don't know about prince but he surely is a king of business and beauty."

"Who is he?"

"You don't know him?" Overdramatic, that was what she was being.

"He is Andrew Michael Ford." I didn't know what to say, laugh at it or cry.

"Nice joke."

"It's not a joke my friend." She was hella serious and I was questioning my existence. Did I just talk badly even scolded one of the richest men? I was so done for.

I did say my life was boring but dear God you took it seriously, I didn't want so much drama in it. Who knew what he would do?

"Do I have to, Liam?" I asked the guy who was looking at me with a look which was shouting 'Yes'

"But that dog sits anywhere and then doesn't walk for the next hour or so! He even barks at me! and shows his big teeth to me," I whined but not even a muscle of his face moved as he kept staring at me.

Currently, I was doing my morning job which was at the animal shelter. I like animals, really but a certain dog, Max, a big black hairy and double my size animal was not liked by me. He would make me work double than I have to, I guess our feelings were mutual. Many animals have gone on a walk with me as Liam thought it was good to take them out for once in a while and I enjoyed doing it. But Max seemed to have a special hatred towards me as he would always make his place dirty so I have to clean it twice and last time when I took him for a stroll.......well it was the worst day ever.

I had to stand in front of the garbage can for an hour because Max thought it would be great to take a nap there. I tried to drag him because he wasn't listening to me sweetly but something unexpected happened.

Instead of hauling him, I was the one who got pulled by him. Because of the rain, the roads were wet and he left me in wet mud while he leisurely sat away from me. People walking or standing nearby would give me a weird look but what could I do? Nothing.

So not liking that certain dog wasn't a bad thing. With a sigh, I walked toward the dog who was staring at me.

'Why do I feel like he is gonna make me suffer again?'

"Can you not accompany me?" I pouted. Liam was my boss but he had never acted like one. We both were more like friends, though I was not interested in relationships, if I were I think Liam was great boyfriend material.

"I would have taken him for a walk but I don't feel really good and of course one of us should stay here." He said and I nodded.

"Fine, take care of yourself." Giving him a smile I walked out of the shop with Max who was wagging his tail excitedly I felt like he was smirking and thinking 'ah, now I'm gonna have fun while making her embarrassed'.

Shaking the crazy thoughts out of my mind, I walked toward the route where I would usually go for walk.

******

"You-.....you, Max, get up!" I stomped my feet but the dog wasn't affected at all from all this. He turned his face to the other side and sat calmly on the road.

If the last time where he sat was bad this time it was worst, he was sitting in front of a big building where people were giving me weird looks because my dog wasn't moving and the cars that were passing by were asking me to move this dog away.

"Max, please move away." I patted his head but all he did was bark loudly to gain more attention.

After trying to move this dog from here in every way, I was exhausted but he remain seated.

'What should I do now?'

"Need some help with it?" A voice said. I looked behind me with an irritated face just to turn away with the speed of lightning.

No, no. How the hell it could be? I was dreaming, right? please tell me I was.

"Why are you being so stubborn?" The guy who had black hair and grey eyes patted Max who moved his head down letting the guy stroke.

"Are you serious Max?" I looked at the dog with disbelief, he was barking so loud when I tried to touch him.

"Seems like this guy likes me." The man said.

"And hates me." I rolled my eyes on which he laughed.

"My name is Noah," he moved his hand out to shake.

"My name-"

"Her name is Alyssa." The man who was standing behind us quietly for long now spoke up.

"Yeah." I smiled awkwardly while shaking Noah's hand.

"You know him?" He said and I nodded, it was so very bad situation.

"I met her at the club." He smiled and I didn't know what to do, ran away from them or should I bury myself six feet deep in the ground.

"Club?" He raised a brow at me.

"I work there," I said fastly before the man who was standing beside me could say something.

"Ah, I see." He smiled causing his dimples on either side of his lips to appear

"Your dimples are cute." I wanna beat myself, why would I say that? Why was I embarrassing myself like this?

"Thanks." I nodded and walked toward Max who stood up easily this time.

"You like embarrassing me huh? I will kill Liam if he asked me to bring you out next time." I said loudly forgetting that the two richest and most handsome men were standing right behind me. Noah laughed while Andrew chuckled lightly.

And what about me? Well, I was looking like a tomato because of embarrassment. 'Liam, you are not safe from me today.'

"I will drop you where ever you are going, come on," Andrew said suddenly when I was about to walk.

"No need-" Before I could say he took a hold of my hand on which my eyes widened but he just pulled me with him.

"Bye!" Noah shouted and I smiled at him before sitting in the luxurious car. Max was seated beside the driver and I was sitting at the back with Andrew.

Who knew there would be a day when I would be sitting with Andrew Michael Ford in his car. I was sweating even when the AC was on. This was too much in one day to handle.
