His Hired Wife

Chapter Four - The NDA

*****

Jasmine’s point of view

After last night’s disaster, I had just given up and decided I would look for a job early tomorrow morning because, from the way everything was going for me, I do not think that man would have agreed to let me work for him as his girlfriend. But first I needed to talk to Miguel before he left for work if he could help me find another job.

I grabbed my phone and made my way downstairs, knowing right now he would be making crap for breakfast before heading out in a rush.

“Morning?” I greeted him as I went to the coffee maker. I was still dressed in my dusty pink long-sleeved and floor-length nightdress.

“Morning, how was your first night here?” he inquired as I nodded my head, letting out a soft moan while I poured coffee for myself.

“Good! Though disappointing > Your boss didn’t call or anything?” I asked going to take a seat on the kitchen counter as he shook his head.

“That’s how he is. Never change his mind about anything.” He chuckled, taking his phone that was ringing.

“Speak of the devil”. He showed me his screen before answering. I watched him as he spoke on the phone.

“Really? I won’t let you down JT” he said through the phone as I sat there thinking when did they start addressing each other like that? Miguel and Javier (his boss) have been friends since high school and through college till when he started working for Javier, their relationship got distant, or was it just a show they on?

“You won’t believe this” He turned to me as I looked at him, raising my eyebrows as I waited to hear what he wanted to say.

“He thinks you are perfect, of course, with a few changes to your face and clothes, but he wants to go ahead”, He explained to me as I widened my eyes, looking at him in shock. I cannot believe I got the job.

“Really? Is he fine with it? Oh my god!” I exclaimed.

“What should I do? What will I be doing?” I questioned him and he smiled at me.

“Calm down. We have first to produce a contract that will safeguard both of you and, we need you to start working out. That tummy just doesn’t look too good”, he teased at me before grabbing his things.

“Try to find out more about J.T then we can talk later when I am back from the office, okay?” He questioned me as I nodded my head.

“Do you have any money so that I can do some grocery shopping?” I asked him and he took out his card, giving it to me.

“Only food. Don’t go over $1000” he said to me as I nodded my head with a smile on my face.

“Also, you will be staying here for a while. Bring in your boxes” he said, before walking away as I smiled at myself. I was going to have fun today by buying groceries. I do not care what limit he gave me, I was going to get food for this house and whatever we needed.

I finished having my coffee, I went back to the guest room to get changed into something I could wear while I was out shopping. I grabbed black jeans, a black tank top, and a beige jacket with boots.

I took my bag and made my way out of the house, but first I was going to pick which car I would be using from Miguel’s collection. But before I could do that, I just wanted to give him a heads up that I would be taking the car with me.

I grabbed the keys from the shelves that he had them hung. I looked at the keys that I had picked out briefly before convincing myself that this was fine with me, and decided to go for it.

I went down to his car parking lot before trying to unlock one of the cars. When I saw the G-wagon that was parked. I smiled at myself proudly, walking to the car as I stepped in, admiring it briefly before starting the engine and driving off to the mall.

I left the house, going to the mall where I went shop by shop, trying to get him healthier food and the necessities that I wanted to buy. I did my shopping while thinking about my father and how he reacted to me coming back to town. He did not like his own daughter for some reason, but that was fine with me. That was his problem, so you were not going to bother with him.

I finished what I was doing and headed back to the house. When I pulled over in front of the yard, I took a deep breath, thinking of how Miguel was always about my back and I had never done anything to appreciate him for always helping me.

I hope that my coming back here will not bring more problems for him. I shake my head shook myself back to reality before heading back inside the house.

I quickly unlocked the house and started bringing in the bags of things that I had bought for him. When I finished doing that, I decided to start packing all the food it is made to be put when I receive a phone call from Miguel.

“Hey? Calling to check on me?” I asked him as I unpacked the things.

“Not really… Do you have access to your computer?” He questions me and I wonder why he would want me to look at my laptop.

“Yes, I do. What’s up?” I asked.

“I have sent you a document. Look at it, then tell me what you think.”

“What’s in the document?” I asked stopping what I was doing so that I could hear what he had to say.

“It’s a non-disclosure agreement. Before we start doing anything, I want you to look at it” he says. I can sense some concern in his voice, but that is fine.

“Great! I will look at it. Are you coming back earlier tonight?”

“No! Don’t wait up for me and please make sure you read the document? If you need any explanations or have any questions let me know” he says to me, and I smiled at myself.

“Of course. Enjoy yourself” I whispered to him before cutting the line.

If only I had read what was in the contract. I would not have had the problems that I was going to experience in the next few months.
