Isabella's POV
i wake up the next day still on the floor. Rubbing my eyes i realize my surroundings and last night comes back to my senses
I stand up and hop in for a shower to clean myself then make my way to eat something.
I sit in the kitchen for 30 minutes, my mind thinking of nothing. I feel my phone buzz and open the notifications, most of them about the office.
I quickly turn in an application for not going today then sit back again as i think about what i can do
Nicholas's POV
she seemed worried when she left in a hurry yesterday. I keep recalling her expressions. Something about her mother that she went to take care of
I push my thoughts aside, and hop in for a good warm shower and get ready for my first day at the family company.
I button my sleeve as i look myself in the mirror, 8 years of hard work and finally here i am. Becoming what my younger self hoped me to be
I go downstairs to the kitchen and see my assistant already cooking breakfast
"How are you Carlos" i ask him and he turns around putting on a professional smile
"Good morning Sir, i am good" he replies in a polite tone and i chuckle
"Anything wrong sir?" He raises a slight eyebrow as he looks at me
"You don't have to act so professional when its only us. We've been best friends for 20 years Carlos" i say calmly and he acts embarrassed
We eat our breakfast and make our way to the office
"What's my schedule for today?" I ask him as he gets in the driver's seat buckling the seat belt
He passes me an Ipad and i look through my schedule
"Also sir, the girl that worked for Mr.Anthony has turned in an application for not coming in today." He says and opens her application for me
I wonder if its anything that serious
We drive to the office and meanwhile i get my hand on a few partnerships that we have understanding their importance
"Carlos you will be here with me, you can set your table right beside Ms.Isabella" i say as i point to her desk and he nods
"We will keep update on the hotels too and if something comes up urgent, we will go there" i say and he ensures me to take care of everything
I open the door and inhale the fresh scent of my new office. For some reason it reminds me of her.
I walk to the upmost front and sit in my chair having perplexed thoughts
"If you accept this condition, you can sign it right now, if not you know i have more options" dad's words keep repeating in my head and i sigh in frustration
I need a wife to fully access the position but i have no plans to get married.
I press the button to call Carlos and he comes in a few seconds later
"Anything you need Sir?" He asks me and i look at him in frustration
"I need a bride" i say and his expressions change to somewhat confused
"You said what? A bride? And you?" He repeats as if not believing my words and so i tell him everything
"But where will we find one?" He says after listening to my story and i nod in disappointment
"I don't know thats why i called you" i say truthfully
" its not like we need a contract wife for you who could pretend for a while until you can get the position" he says wondering and thinking about options we could chose
Suddenly an idea clicks in both our heads and we look at each other at the same time
"No Nicholas" he says as if understanding my thoughts
"Why not Carlos?" i say excitedly getting out of my chair and walking towards him
"We can get a girl to sign a contract and pretend to be my wife" i say patting his shoulders and he lowers his head sighing
"God" he says annoyed and i chuckle
"Thank you Carlos, thank you" i pat his cheek and laugh as i make my way out with a new energy of finally getting the bussiness.
