The Proud Boss Lady.

Chapter 27: 27.

"So what's the catch?" Lauren asked Keane.

“I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend just to get Nina off my back." He told her.

“You could have gotten any other girl, why me?" She voiced out as her friends stood looking at them.

“Because I want you to, would you?" He asked rubbing the back of his neck.

“Fine, I will this sounds interesting." She beamed.

“Good, this stays between us, no one else should know." Keane gestured towards Rita and Amelia.

“We won't spill, so don't worry about us," Rita added.

"Can we go now?" Amelia asked.

“You girls can, Lauren is coming with me. Her role starts now." Keane added as Lauren walked off with

Keane and his best friend Deitrick.

That was so weird, I smell some high school drama rolling. Rita thought to herself as they walked off to

the cafeteria to see what was going on.

“Oh hey, hey Zed." Soraya greeted him as she stood by her car.

“Yh, hi." He responded ogling at her body. She looked more beautiful, and had a glow.

“You look beautiful as always Soraya." He complimented waiting for her sassy reply but her reply

shocked him.

“Thank you Zed, you look good as well." She smiled.

“Thank you, how about we get some coffee if you don't mind." He asked her.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Well, I wanted to get a couple of things but I can do that later, I would take you up on that offer." She

locked her car and headed to his bike.

“Woah, are you sure you want to sit on my bike, it's a bike and you hate them." He rattled on.

“Come on Zed, let's go." She urged as he drove off wondering what had come over Soraya Wayne.

“Beautiful place you have here," Soraya said as they entered his café.

“Zed I've been waiting --- never mind I would see myself out," Freya said walking out of the café when

she spotted him with Soraya.

“Won't you go after her?" Soraya asked entering the office.

“She's going to be fine, forget about her. Also, I would like to let you know I didn't send that message to

you, Freya did and I'm sorry." He apologised.

“It's fine Zed, I would have done same if I were in her shoes." She answered.

“So can we start all over again?" He hoped she would say yes.

“No, we can't, I have someone I am beginning to love, and for you Zed Velasquez, you would always

be there for me. Always, when I come running back." She smirked.

“Let me say, you're my boy toy." She winked pecking him on his lips.

“What if I don't want to be anymore, I want something real with you, Soraya." He admitted.

“Im sorry, but that can't happen now. Maybe if that message didn't come we would have ended up

together." She smiled running her fingers over his thighs.

“ Just when I thought you had changed. You're just that bitch Soraya Wayne, Self centred, over-

pampered, egoistic bitch that would never change." Zend angrily spat.

“I am none of those things you just called me." She softly added.

“Oh, yes you are. I can't believe I always run back to you. You on the other hand would never do same

for me. You only look for me or come near to me when you need sex. Not anymore Soraya, no more."

He declared.

“You would come to find me, Zed Velasquez, just as you always do." She smirked walking out of his

office.

How can I love and hate her at the same time?! Zed exclaimed

He knew he owed Freya some apology and explanations but he needed to get rid of this infatuation he

had over Soraya.

Can we talk? Zed sent a message to Freya's phone. She knew she needed the answers to his actions.

She needed to meet up with him to hear what he had to say. She needed closure at least.

“I am stepping out for fresh air, I would be back." She told Carla as she walked out of the office.

Zed had texted her the address to where he had wanted to meet her. He stood in front of his newest

restaurant that was yet to be opened to the public. He took the keys from his pocket and then opened

the door to the restaurant as he stepped in. He headed to the kitchen to prepare something for himself

and Freya.

Freya was too worn out to drive by herself so she called her driver to drive her to Zed's location while

she was lost in thought. She wondered why Zed brought that woman to his café when they hadn't

broken up, not given a tangible reason why he wasn't speaking to her.

“We are here Miss." Her driver alerted her.

“Thanks, James, you can go I would call you when I am done." She said getting out and picking her

bag as she walked towards the restaurant. The building looked exquisite.

I thought he wasn't open until Friday. She said to herself entering the restaurant. Zed had heard the

door open from the kitchen. He dished out two plates of noodle stir fry and set a bottle of white wine on

the tray as he headed out of the kitchen. He set the tray in front of Freya as he placed her food in front

of her. He dashed back in the kitchen and came out with a hot dish of pepperoni pizza.

“Enjoy." He said as he sat before her with his own food iin front of him as they are in silence. He could

hear her food moaning.

“I wish she could moan out to something else." He thought to himself as his ears turned a shade of red.

“So what did you want us to talk about?" She asked sipping from her glass.

“Us." He answered.

“What about us?" She furiously demanded.

“First of all, calm down." He tried touching her as she pulled her hand.

“Look, I am sorry. I overreacted and I am sorry about that Freya. But I just got confused. She is, was

and would always be my first love. No doubt about it. But I don't want to be with her anymore, she

doesn't love me for me, but for my dick." He said as Freya tried not to laugh.

“Babe I'm sorry, let's take this slowly. Let's just be friends for now. I wanted to learn and grow to fall in

love with you." He said to her making her blush.

“Fine Zed, just this one time. If you mess up. I'm done. Friends?" She raised her glass.

“Friends." He added as they clicked glasses together.

“This tastes good by the way." She praised him.
