“Miss Malissa, the boss wants to see you now,” the leader of the men in black said as he poked his head in through the opened door.
“Ok…let’s go,” I said as I walked towards the door.
I wished I had gotten to speak with my grandmother, but she was still asleep. I wanted to talk to the boss too. Perhaps, he had already given up on the wedding based on what happened earlier today.
…
“You want me to what?” I said as my eyes widened in shock. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
“Hahaha! You don’t have to act so excited. It is as I said, I want you to move in and live with Hayden. He’s handsome, isn’t he? Just like me when I was younger…” the boss said cheerfully as he sipped red wine.
“Umm…what he looks like isn’t the main problem here…” I muttered.
“You will do as I say. It’s part of the deal. You will move in to live with my son for 30 days. If you both decide that you don’t want to get married at the end, then I’ll set you both free and you can leave. Simple, isn’t it?” the boss said with a satisfied smile.
“I can’t…live with him…” I stated firmly as I enunciated every syllable.
“I’ve already prepared everything. Don’t worry, I’m not forcing you to sleep with him or anything like that. I’ve prepared a two bed-room penthouse suite at the most prestigious condominium in the city for you two so that you can both start out fresh!” the boss said happily as he clapped his hands together excitedly.
Hmm…so we’ll have separate bedrooms. It’ll be like living with a male roommate. I could shut myself in my bedroom forever for 30 days. That didn’t sound too bad, to be honest. There were plenty of people who decided to room with people of the opposite sex and didn’t have any issues. Plus, Hayden seemed to have a girlfriend already so there should be no problem…
“Umm…are there other conditions?” I asked cautiously.
“Yes. Every day for the 30 days that you live together, you must either do something for Hayden or grant him a wish. Of course, the two of you will have to choose between you doing something for him or you granting him a wish for each day. That’s it,” the boss stated.
That’s it?
“When you say do something…you mean like normal things, right?” I asked, still feeling cautious.
“Certainly. You can just listen to what he has to say, cook for him, give him a massage, take out his trash, accompany him on a walk…anything,” the boss said.
“What if Hayden makes unreasonable requests?” I asked skeptically.
“Then you just have to turn him down and convince him to agree to let you do something for him instead,” the boss said as he shrugged.
“I see…” I said softly as my mind thought about all this.
“Good. We have a deal then!” the boss shouted excitedly as he clapped his large hands together.
“Wait…not so fast,” I protested.
“I’m older than you think I am, little miss. I’m not going to sit here and wait forever. Now off you go, you’re moving in with Hayden today!” the boss declared as he stood up proudly.
I blinked rapidly in surprise. This old man and his ‘having the wedding tomorrow’ and ‘moving in together today’ is driving me insane.
