Shirtless beauty

"Like what you see mi amor?”Rodriguez deep masculine voice rang across the room kicking Nerfetiti out of her temporary daze.

Her cheeks flushed red as she pulled her eyes to his face and they met Rodriguez' piercing gaze.

Nerfetiti mentally slapped herself.One second she was raging at him and another second, she was drooling over his body.

What could best define her madness?

Although she knew that she had been caught red-handed she didn't want to give him the satisfaction he wanted "What do I see if I may ask?" She asked with a slight raise of her brows.

The smirk on Rodriguez face dwindled drastically he did not expect that she would have a reply for him but then he wasn't ready to lose to her yet.

Chuckling lightly he continued; "Well I'm sure it's something wonderful to keep you staring for minutes mi amor." Why in hell does he keep calling me that! Nerfetiti screamed in her head but she did well to hide her blush.

It wasn't just because he called her mi amor that made her mad, it was because of the way his voice sounded when he said it.

Normally his voice was deep and had a hint of breathiness and when he called her mi amor.

It nearly made her squeeze her legs and she shouldn't be having that kind of feelings because she hates him!

Nerfetiti coughed lightly forcing the nasty thoughts to the back of her mind "You really think highly of yourself dear Boss But now I think about it how do you know I was staring for minutes if you weren't also staring?” Her eyelids widened and a sly smirk washed her lips.

The triumphant smile on Rodriguez face disappeared instantly and he was dumbfounded, This woman!

How does she have an answer to everything? He couldn't even find the words to reply.

It seems his brain was on a momentary shutdown mainly because what she said was true.

Rodriguez gazed at her a little redness in his ears.

Although he had lost to her he was a little glad that they just had a conversation.

Even though there was a glare in her eyes she was smiling triumphantly and he felt a warmth in his heart.

That was the first time she had smiled because of him.He had never been happier.

If winning against him would make her smile then from that day onwards he would make sure she always won against him.

Rodriguez laughed lightly and walked to the vanity to blow dry his air.Nerfetiti's brows creased; Why was he laughing?

"Nerfetiti it's so good to see you come come over here." Grandpa waved and Nerfetiti walked over to him to greet him.

It was past seven in the evening when the paintings in the room was completely changed and Rodriguez and Nerfetiti came down for dinner.

Everyone was sitting at the dining table when they came down. "It's good to see you grandpa." Nerfetiti greeted as grandpa patted on her back

" loved the tea bags you got for me how thoughtful of you. Grandpa smiled;his gaze turned to Rodriguez who was still standing waiting for Nerfetiti.

"I see you grandson I'm sure it's Nerfetiti who forced you to come home you don't even bother to send birthday wishes to your old grandfather such a stubborn boy!" Grandpa fumed at Rodriguez but he didn't say a word his expression unchanging.

Nerfetiti chuckled;"No grandpa on the contrary Rodriguez was very excited to come home I think he's changing for the better.” Grandpa knew that she was just trying to cover up for him but he didn't want to press on further.

"Alright go sit down we'll chat after dinner." Nerfetiti walked to where Rodriguez was standing and he pushed out a seat for her before taking his seat.

Her eyes glanced around the table and they fell on Bella the woman that tried to make fun of her that day.

She was sitting beside the same man from that afternoon her husband obviously.

Just at that moment Rodriguez Auntie Lucy walked in with her husband Vincent. "Rodriguez Nerfetiti! When grandma said you guys came I couldn't believe it;it's so nice to see you." Lucy greeted and Nerfetiti smiled at her.

"it's nice to see you too Auntie.” After the meal the family sat in the living room as they chatted the television showing a reality show.

"So Nerfetiti how did you meet Rodriguez?" Grandma asked and every gaze turned to Nerfetiti who was sitting beside Rodriguez his arms around her waist.

She feigned a blush and glanced at Rodriguez who was watching the television as though she was shy. "We met at work i'm his personal assistant. I have always had a crush on him but because of his iciness I tried to hide it.But what I didn't know was that he had been eyeing me for a while too! When he asked me to go out with him I was so shocked that I fainted. Everyone laughed at her story.

"Yeah I couldn't believe that my dear grandson who didn't have any friends could have a girlfriend.It was a surprise!"

"Mmm and just after his position as the CEO of Rodriguez Corporation was threatened it seemed very suspicious but it's good to know that it wasn't just a plan and now we're all waiting for the wedding date" Bella added quickly.

The whole place grew awkward at her statement.

Nerfetiti shifted her gaze to her although on the face of it her statement looked innocent;it however carried a deeper meaning.

The message she intended to pass what that indeed Rodriguez had hired Nerfetiti to be his mistress and the proof of it was that he would not marry her.

Nerfetiti didn't even know what to reply.She knew that there was no marriage of any sort happening he was damn speechless.

One second to everything becoming tense Rodriguez whose eyes were on the television glanced at Bella who was sitting beside Aaron briefly and then he turned to Nerfetiti.

"Mi amor ” He pulled her towards him her faced inches away from his his hot breath tickling her lashes making it flutter

"I didn't want to rush it but now she has mentioned it let's get married.
