The Billion Dollar Contract novel Chapter 5

Gabriel came out of the apartment building, he let out a long sigh he had been holding in, he got into his car and told his chauffeur to take him home. When he got home he took a good look at his mansion and realized that Nicole was right, he ought to be married under normal circumstances but unfortunately the circumstances weren't normal so he has to do anything to get his mom off his back, he went into his bedroom, took off his clothes and took a shower.

After shower, he laid on his bed and began thinking if he was doing the right thing. Things shouldn't be handled this way he thought to himself, he should learn to get Ashley out of his mind but it was easier said than done, he only prays that Nicole would give his proposal a thought because she was his only hope now. He decided to go to bed and stop thinking too much since it was already 2:00am and he is supposed to be in his office early, at least that was the only place he could concentrate and be at peace with himself

Nicole couldn't sleep that night, she kept thinking about the event that took place earlier in her living room. She has always dreamt about being rich, living the good life, a life of luxury and pure bliss and now the opportunity came knocking on her door but yet she is confused. She doesn't know if accepting such an offer was the right thing to do, what if something goes wrong along the line? What if his girlfriend shows up and she ends up getting caught? But he never said anything about a girlfriend and if she gets caught he should be able to defend her right?

Nicole was so confused, she was supposed to be having a blissful sleep but here she was messed up with her own thoughts. The amount of money in question was quite tempting, anyone would accept his proposal in a heartbeat but at the same time she could tell he was desperate even though he tried to hide it with his stern face, she felt he really needed her to say yes right away but why was he still single anyways?

It's not like it was any business of hers but she needed to know the kind of person she is going to be dealing with. Besides she hasn't been with a guy for quite a while now, gosh why was she thinking towards that direction, it's not like anything was going to happen between them or was something going to happen? Nicole was already having a headache from all these thoughts so she decided to try and get some sleep because she needed it at this point.

Gabriel was in his office looking through some documents when his phone rang, he looked at his caller ID to know who was calling but it was an unknown number

"Hello?"

"Hello?... it's me Nicole"

Gabriel straightened himself on his office chair the moment he heard her name, he didn't know why but he was internally excited to hear her voice

"Um. I called so we could talk about your proposal"

Her voice was soft and relaxing to the ears, Gabriel didn't say anything yet, he just let Nicole speak so it wouldn't seem like he pressured her into accepting to do this against her own will that is if she actually called to accept his proposal
