I wrap Dean’s towel tightly around my chest and step out of his bathroom. I saw him sitting on a sofa in the small sitting area in his room, he’s fully dressed in a business suit.
This is the first time I’m seeing him on a suit, and he actually is undeniably sexy.
He had to go and look up, breaking out in that boyish grin that I’m certain is solely reserved for me,,,, making him even more irresistible.
I feel myself heating up a little, I clear my throat to stop me from blushing.
He got off the sofa and walk towards me with a dress in his hand.
“Here you go, your dress”
“Thanks” I collect it.
My phone beeped and I reach for it,,, I smile widely when I saw an alert but my smile falters at the amount.
I glare at Dean.
“$1000?”
“Yeah!”
“What do you mean ‘yeah’ $1000 is not enough,,,do you know how much I will make if I’m doing this for someone else?”
“How much?”
“Maybe $3000 or $4000! And besides I’m saving up for my dream car!”
He rolls his eyes.
“I can buy you your dream car and besides I don’t have to pay you, my money is yours too”
“I don’t need your money, General”
“Oh? Does that mean I don’t have to pay? Because I’m paying you with my money too!”
I throw the dress on his bed, I huffed and sulkily sits down.
“I,, I,, this is different,,,, whatever! I change my mind, I’m not coming with you”
He chuckles lightly and squat to my level, he tries to peck my lips but I turn my face.
“Fine, don’t get angry, I’m sorry”
He reaches for his phone and starts typing, less than 40seconds I hear my phone beep. I reach for it and I suddenly begin to grin from ear to ear.
My eyes almost bulge out,,,,$5000 extra, making it $6000 in total he transferred into my account.
“Are you coming with me now?”
“Of course, Dean!”
“Can I get a kss for that?” He gestures to my phone, referring to the money.
“I can’t see why not!”
I grab his face, I first kssed his lips before showering ksses all over his face.
Dean laughs briefly.
“I love you, Phoebe”
“Oh, I love you more!” I blurt out.
Wait,,,is that me speaking or the money? Well, I don’t care who is talking, I’m so happy right now.
“I should go get dressed!”
“Hmm”
I quickly got up and dashed back in the bathroom.

“General, breakfast is ready!” I hear Brandon reporting as I step back in the room.
“We will be there soon” Dean replies.
Brandon nods and leaves, Dean turns his attention to me. His eyes trail my outfit,, it’s a short tight gown that hugs me tightly,,showing all my curves and it stops at my mid thigh.
He clears his throat as if it suddenly ran dry.
“You are gorgeous but,,,,” he trails off.
“But,,,?”
“I think it’s a bit too short and too tight, how about changing it?”
“Into what? I don’t have clothes here, remember. And besides, you bought this dress yourself”
He sighs.
“Fine, but you aren’t gonna leave my side!!” He said firmly.
“Yes, sir!”
He wrap his arm around my waist.
“Come on, let’s have breakfast”
I nod and we both head downstairs.

“Finally, you two are down!” Javier said.
Dean ignores him and pull out a chair for me, I sat down and he sat next to me.
“Good morning, Mom” Dean greets his Mom.
“Good morning, son”
“Good morning, Mom” I greet too.
She looks at me for a few seconds,,,I saw an emotion flash in her eyes, but it’s just for a split second and I might not be correct.
But I think she looked sad and,,,, guilty? She quickly put on a smile.
“Good morning, my darling, how was your night, dear?”
“It was fine, ma!” I replied.
She nods and stare at me for a few seconds before turning back to her food.
Javier hits the table gently, as if calling for my attention, and I face him.
“You haven’t greeted me yet”
I eyed him and scoffed.
“That’s because I’m still angry at you!”
“Really? What can I do to make you forgive me, then?”
“Hmmm” I put my hand under my chin and did some thinking.
Then I come to a conclusion.
“You can transfer money into my account and I guarantee you, I will forgive you!”
“Money?”
I nod. He scoff.
“I guess your Dean haven’t told you yet, I’m saving my money for my future kids”
“Oh, I see, then be prepared for your punishment!”
“I’m well prepared!”
“Don’t worry, when I get back we will know ourselves”
He simply smirk and wink at me.
“It’s alright, it’s alright,,, let’s eat” Mrs Morgan said.
We nod. Just when I was about to dig in, my phone ringtone blares in the air. I quickly end the call and say a quick sorry.
But I guess the caller doesn’t want me to rest, my phone keeps ringing non-stop.
“Phoebe, I think you should answer your phone” Mrs Morgan told me.
“You wouldn’t mind?”
She shakes her head, I smiled and check the caller ID, it’s Britt.
I press the answer button and bring it closer to my ear.
“Hey, Britt”
Instead of replying, I hear her sobbing. I frown, why is she crying? Did something happen in our apartment? I got off the chair.
“Please excuse me” I whisper and rush to a quiet corner in the living room.
“Britt, are you crying?”
She didn’t say a word, she just continue sobbing and louder this time.
“Talk to me, Britt, what happened?”
She still doesn’t say a word. Wait,,,, I hope it’s not what I’m thinking.
“Is it our landlord? Did he pack us out and lock the door? What did I tell you,,, I said you should hide and don’t let him see you when he comes”
We are owing three months rent,, it’s not as if we don’t wanna pay, it’s just we haven’t got the money.
Ok, fine, Brittany have her half of the rent ready but me, let’s just say I’m saving for my dream car.
“R-rora,, I’m a s-slut now” she cries.
“A what?! Why would you say that? What happened?”
“C-can we meet?”
“Right now?”
“Y-yeah”
“I’m afraid we can’t, I wanna accompany Dean to his company”
“But I really need you now”
“Don’t stress it, I promise I will make it back in time,, I can’t tell him I won’t go with him”
“Why?”
“Money, he’s already paid me”
I hear her sigh.
“Ok, call me when you are coming back”
“Ok!”
I hang up and walk back to the dinning room. Mrs Morgan and Javier are done eating and has left, only Dean sat there waiting for me.
He studies my expression and frown.
“Everything ok?”
“Yeah” I guess I subconsciously wore a sad face.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes” I smile.
He nods. “Let’s eat then”
“No, let’s go, so we can come back early”
“Let’s eat, I don’t want you to get hungry later”
“Dean, I’m fine, come on”
He narrows his eyes at me, but got up anyway.
“I can just order some food later in the office”
He takes my hand and we head out.
“Brandon, start the car!”
*

Brandon stop the car in front of a building.
“We are here, General” Brandon said, Dean simply nod.
Brandon steps out and held the door for us. Dean and I step out, while Brandon drives the car off somewhere.
“Wow!” I gasp out at the sight that befall me.
In front of us is a magnificent building, with Morgan’s enterprise boldly written in front of it.
“Let’s go inside” Dean said.
I nod, he puts his hands on the small of my back and leads me in.
I was rendered speechless when we got in, if I said the outside was beautiful, then words can’t describe what the inside look like,,,, it’s beyond beautiful.
It’s glass everywhere,, sparkling as if they wash the building everyday.
Though it was silent before we came in,but after they notice our presence,,I feel as if the silence increase.
Tension everywhere and I frown wondering why?
I see all of them bowing their heads or avoiding to make eye contact with me,,,,or Dean?
I look at him and see his expression has changed, he had a blank expression on. His expression tells you to beware from him or you might get hurt.
Right from the entrance, I notice a girl glaring daggers at me,,, I guess she is the receptionist.
“Good morning, General” the receptionist greet him with an overly sweet smile.
Dean didn’t reply and I smirk, she scoffs angrily and glares at me. I just ignore her.
“Good morning, General” the workers greets as Dean and I walk by.
Dean didn’t acknowledge their greetings, not even with a nod or wave of hand. He just walks silently.
We made it to an elevator, private elevator written on it. I guess only Dean is allowed to use it. He press the open button and the elevator open, we step in.
He tap no.19.
“Dean?”
“Hmm”
“Why didn’t you reply to their greetings?”
“I don’t have to”
“What? Why? I remembered you did the same thing to me the first day I came to the mansion”
“None of them is greeting me sincerely,, they’re either doing it to look good or they are scared of me”
I roll my eyes,, scared it you? Tell me something I don’t know.
The elevator ding, it stop and open. We step out into a long hallway, he takes my hand and we start walking down the hallway.
I noticed there’s only one office on this floor and that’s we stop in front of, it has a big glass door, with Dean’s name written in bold letters. “GENERAL IAN DEAN MORGAN; CEO!!”
Dean push the door and it open. We step in and saw two men dressed in suit sitting on different couches.
“Good morning, General” they both stand up and shakes hands with Dean.
“Good morning, Barr Dede” Dean replied.
Barr Dede turns to me with a smile.
“And this is….?”
“My girlfriend, Phoebe,,, Phoebe meet my lawyer, Barr Dede”
I frown as this is the first time I’m hearing such name.
“Dede?” I asked.
“Oh, he’s a Nigerian but has lived here in New York all his life” Dean explained.
I smile and quickly shake hands with him.
“Nice to meet you”
“Same here!”
“Please have a sit” he tells Barr Dede.
“Thank you”
Dean sit on a couch and made me sit next to him. He turns to the other man.
“Josh, get the conferrence room ready!”
“Yes, sir!” Josh leaves immediately.
Dean turns his attention back to Barr Dede.
“So, Josh called me late last night and briefed me on what happened” Barr Dede said.
“Has he shown you the sketch?”
“Yes”
Barr Dede check through his briefcase and brings out a file.
Seeing as they are about to get do in business, I stand up to excuse myself.
“Where are you going?” Dean asked.
“I wanna look around, and also see if I can get a cup of coffee”
“Wait here, I will have Brandon or Josh bring you a cup of coffee”
I shake my head,,,I don’t wanna stay here and die of boredom.
“I can get it myself,, I will be right back”
He reluctantly agrees, I quickly step out of his office and head for the elevator. I punch on the first floor button and wait patiently as the elevator ride down.
Bing! I step out and bumped into someone.
“Ouch!” I exclaimed as I rub my forehead.
“Watch where you are going, girl” a voice growled at me.
I raised my head and see a man standing in front of me, he seems to be in his forties.
Since he’s an elderly man, I should show some respect and apologise to him.
“Sorry, sir, I was too excited and didn’t watch where I was going”
He glares at me in pure disgust and,,,,,, hatred? and pushes me out of his way.
“Sorry for your pathetic life!!” He said and stomped into Dean’s private elevator.
I scoff unbelievably,,,,he behaved as if I’m his long time enemy, someone I haven’t seen once.
Well, that’s his problem, my mission right now is getting coffee.

|| Ian/Dean||
“I gone through your sketch and also compare it with that of Mr Rogers, and I must say they are the same” Dede said.
I lean back on the couch.
“How can they be the same? I personally came up with the idea of building a honeymoon resort in france Georgia”
“I think somehow Mr Rogers got hold of your sketch,,, cause one is obviously copied from the other”
He’s right, there must be a spy in my company.
“So, we will,,,,,”
The door opening cuts me off. I turn and see someone I haven’t seen in a long time walk in.
“Hello, Ian!” He said.
“Uncle!” I nod in respect.
He strode in as if he owns the place and help himself to s couch.
“Uncle,, what are you doing here?” I asked.
“Oh, I heard your company is in a bit of crisis, so I thought I should swing by and see how you are handling things”
I narrowed my eyes. He heard?
If I remember correctly, I just got to know about this last night, how come he already knows about it too….
Unless,,,,, he knows something?
“Don’t worry, uncle, everything is under control”
“Oh, that’s good”
He turns and see Dede, he reaches out and shake hands with Dede.
“I’m Jeremy Ian’s uncle,,,, well, I love to see myself as his dad though. And you are,,,,,?”
“I’m Babatunde Oyedele Williams, I’m the General’s lawyer!”
All these while I keep studying my uncle, his sudden visit and him knowing about what goes on in my office doesn’t sit well with me.
I have a nagging feeling that he’s got something to do with this.
Don’t blame me that I’m suspecting my own uncle,,, I have never liked him,, and I don’t know why.
“Well, don’t mind my presence, you should carry on with your work!” Uncle Jeremy said.
“We’re done here, Dede, let’s wait until Mr Rogers arrive with his lawyer!” I said.
“Yes, General”
