A Deal With The Millionaire

” Sir?.. ” She asked, like she had heard something strange.

” Yeah, just for the wedding, and after then we can go on our separate ways ” He said, hoping he could convince her.

She looked like someone that could help and that was why they had thought about asking her for help, hoping she would accept.

” Please ” Claus pleaded, when she hadn’t said a thing.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

” I… ” She sighed softly.

” I’m sorry, but I don’t think I want to do this, in as much as I would have loved to help, but I can’t… I mean, people could find out about this… I.. ”

” No one will, trust me ” Shane said in a pleading tone, and she wondered why he was acting soft towards her.

The Shane Kent she had knew always wore a cold look on whenever he was being interviewed, but here he was, acting like the sweetest man ever.

Honestly, Shane doesn’t really know why he’s acting leniet towards her, for some weird reasons, he kinda trusts her, even though they met once, he could read her, she was kind and nice, and that made her have a soft spot in his heart unconsiously.

” But, you could get anyone to do this for you, why me? ” She asked slowly.

” We just.. ”

” Cause I trust you… ” Shane blurted out and Layla stared at him in suprise.

” I trust you to be a trustworthy lady and a nice one at that, you would help us ’cause you have a soft heart, without anyone hearing about this ” He said, staring at her and she was doing the same.

” You don’t even know me ” She tried to defend.

” But I can read you ” He replied, and she looked away, breaking the stare.

” I’m sorry, but I would have to reject this, this isn’t right, people could find out ” She said and made to stand.

” It’s just for a day.. no one is going to find out, trust us, we have our ways ” Claus interrupted.

” You don’t get this?, I have my dignity to protect, I don’t want it bashed ’cause of a silly act, this isn’t right… ”

” How much do you want? ” Shane asked, interrupting her.

She turned to him with a raised brow.

” 10 million dollars?, 20 million?, Any amount.. name it… I’ll pay ” He said and that seems to get her slightly angry as she turned to him, with a hard glare.

” Really?!, That’s it!, You think everything I about money!., Huh?!… ” She asked, rasing her voice slightly and Shane was stunned.

He didn’t expect her to flare up, he was only trying to negotiate a deal.

Who flares up at the sight of money?, But this lady right here doesn’t seem like the type to do things she doesn’t want even when she needs the money, this seemed to get him attracted to her as he wouldn’t stop staring at her.

” Miss, you should calm down ” Claus said and she sighed.

” I’m sorry, but I would like to leave, sorry for declining your offer ” She said and bowed respectfully before walking away.

He was older than her, she had to show respect.

All these caught Shane’s attention and he stood up while Claus stared at him worriedly

” Sir, what do we do now? ” He asked.

” We wait ” He replied and with that walked away.

” Wait? ” Claus thought in confusion.

Layla was finally out of the big mansion and then realized, she has no idea where she was.

” Should I go ask him? ” She mumbled under her breath and made to turn but was stopped by the driver who had brought her there, he bowed and led her into the car and she heaved a sigh of relief.

” Oh my gawd! ” Mirah exclaimed as she saw Layla alight from a luxurious car.

She’s been worried and had been waiting for so long and now Layla is here, but alighting from a luxurious car.

What happened?, How?.

Ignoring all these, she rushed to her friend and pulled her into a hug.

” Layla!! … ”

” It’s fine, I’ll explain everything when we get inside ” Layla muttered as they unlocked from the hug and Mirah nodded.

” I’ll leave now miss ” The driver said behind them and Layla turned.

She bowed thankfully and he did the same thing before entering the car and he drove off while the two girls walked into the apartment.

” So?… You rejected it? ” Mirah asked to be sure of what she had just heard and Layla nodded trying to study her expression.

” Alright ” Mirah replied but Layla noticed she doesn’t seem okay with it.

” Hey, are you okay? ” Layla asked, pulling her back and Mirah sighed.

” I just don’t think you should have rejected it, I mean we need money!, Your dad is there, he needs money and we have no hope of getting any right now!, We’re hopeless.. I mean, that money could sponsor our tution fees throughout our university… Layla… I know you had always tried to protect your dignity, but this.. you have to, we don’t wanna lose this opportunity ” She said and Layla sighed.

” I know, I mean, we need the money.. I just think it’s not right, we could get caught ” She said and Mirah scoffed.

” No, we won’t, Shane Kent is a millionaire, he has lots of great connections, he’s well known, come on.. he has everything under control.. and since he assured you everything will be fine, then it will be fine.. and, this is also you helping him out, I mean he might die of depression or shame if the media found his fiancee left him some days to their wedding, am sure he’s devasted right now and he’s just trying to keep it in, let’s help him if this is the only way we can ” Mirah said and she nodded lightly.

” You will? ” She asked and Layla nodded again.

Mirah jumped on her happily, smiles beaming on her face.

Their dream was finally coming true

” But, how do we contact him? ” Mirah suddenly asked and Layla’s eyes widened.

” Card! ” She suddenly spranged up.

” What? ” Mirah asked as she also stood.

” He left me a card with his phone number the other day I helped him, but…. I didn’t take it ” Layla said and Mirah sighed.

” We should check the restaurant! ” Mirah said and Layla nodded.
