Hello!
I know it was a long break and I am sorry to make you people wait for such a long time!
There was so much going on... in this book and my life...
So, here is the chapter!
==========================

I stared at him
10,000 dollars for one month!
For just a cup of coffee whenever he asks!
"It's 10,000 dollars, Ashton, no joke. That is my six plus months salary!" I glared
"I am not joking" he said in a serious voice but cracked a smile when he said "And this deal will bring me a lot of profit"
"Please! It's anything but profit for you, Ashton. You can get a better cup of coffee in less price" I cleared

"It's completely profit baby. Look, I don't know when I'll be in need of coffee so you'll have to shift to my room and come with me to office whenever you won't have college. And, besides, 10,000 is nothing for me since I make much much more money then that in just one meeting" he grinned
Presumptuous ass!
"What! So is it your way of asking ' please move in with me'?" I asked

After a while he answered "Sort of. But I like being professional when it comes to work and employees though. So it's not the same"
Sounds like a great deal for me.
Easy money and I can buy whatever I want after just three months even if I spend required amount from the salary in one month. I'll have just one customer!
And besides I get to see Ashton daily. BUT!
"I refuse" I answered

"What?!" he was beyond shocked.

"Yep,I refuse your proposal. I know you are paying me that much just because I am your mate and girlfriend but if it would have been any other girl you wouldn't have done that. It's not fair of me taking advantage of the situation" I explained my decision to him.

"Woah... Any other girl would have killed anyone for such an opportunity but you...you refused it. What are you, Rachel Wilander?" he looked amused
"You said it yourself - Rachel Wilander" I shrugged
"And let me clear this - it's not taking advantage of situation it's taking full use of what you are blessed with" he shrugged
I just rolled my eyes in response.

"You haven't seen this penthouse, right? Let me start with the bedroom" he got up
Where did that come from?
I got up nonetheless
I wonder why bedroom first though.

As he led me to a beautiful

Room with hazel wood color scheme. It had sofa and a desk
Bed with separation by few stairs. It was amazing with a hanging TV
He told "There are two closet here"
He took me to one closet filled with a woman's need - shoes, bags, jeans, T-shirts, dresses. He opened a big drawer with many neck wears and ear wears.

"You could shop all of this endlessly if you work with me" he smirked
"Ah-ha! Now I know why you chose bedroom first! To bribe me!! But I'll let you know that it doesn't work on me." I told him
His smirked vanished
"God! How many dresses you have for me" I tried changing the topic because he was losing this which would hurt his ego leading us to fight or him getting angry and exploding.
"This is nothing compared to the New York stock" he smiled
"New York? Why would I go there?" I looked at him confused
"What do you mean why? You are my mate and when we marry-"
"What?! Where did marriage come from! And when did I tell I'll marry you?" I asked him
Now his anger was seen on his face "Do you expect me to let you marry someone-"
"Wait" I cut him " I didn't mean that. I meant I wasn't ready for a marriage now. But then I thought of it your way and realized that for you the next step is that. But I am human, Ashton. We humans are not sure who our mates are. You are very lucky because you know that I am the one for you but we humans are not that lucky! Though I am too because since I am your mate then you should be mine. It's not even one day since we are in relationship so it's too quick for me.
You need to understand that I am a human" I sighed because I hadn't taken any break in between
I wonder how people talk break less. I just can't!
"I understand, Elle" he came and hugged me "And I am thankful you are my mate because if it would have been a war between us right now but you stopped it. I am very lucky I got you as my mate because you know exactly how to settle a fight. You try explaining things and talking it out which is very important in a relationship. Also you don't only consider your own opinion but the other person's too. I love you, Elle"
"I am afraid it'll take a bit of time for me to say the same" I smiled in his chest
"Take your own time, cutie pie. We have a life time together since we know we are made for each other" I heard him smile
"Next time you call me cutie pie or cupcake or muffin or any other sweet then I'll murder you in your sleep Ashton. I just hate those names! Those are edible items which could be finished in less time. And plus all the sweets give you cavity so you'll have to intake with supervision. I don't want us to be finished in less time and to be with each other carefully! I want it to be crazy and limitless" I explained him
For the first time I got emotional about us!
Hmmm, this is what time of the month does to me
"But don't you think for one second I forgot about the refusal of my proposal" I broke the hug and looked at his face "I don't take no for an answer Miss Wilander"
"Try your best, Wolfe, cause it's impossible to break me. I'll be jobless than work with you and take advantage of our relationship" I challenged
"Let's see how hard you play, shall we? And let me warn you I don't play fair" he grinned
"Neither do I" I turned around and tried walking away but he caught me and pulled me back to his rock hard chest.
"It's impossible to win from me" he whispered in my ears
"Seems like you are living in a fantasy world. But don't worry, I am here to break that. I'll help you come out of it" I answered
I could feel him being down as my heart started pumping blood to an imaginary rate. He pressed his lips on bare skin over my first ribcage.
Just then his phone started ringing making him growl and leave me.
As if on a competition my phone starting ringing too.
We looked at each other and then went to our respective phones
"Hello" I answered without checking the caller ID
"Hi" said a low but irritated voice
"What happened? Don't tell me she said no" I asked after recognizing his voice
"Ghhh" David shouted "I couldn't tell her"
"Quit shouting" I advised "And tell me why couldn't you?"
"Because" he said in an urgent voice but calmed himself and whispered "I couldn't gather enough courage. Where are you?"
"Ashton's house"
"Why?"
"Date"
"Date?"
"Yeah, after all he is my boyfriend"
"What?!" Only after he exclaimed did I realise what secret did I reveal to him
I mentally gave myself disagreeing look while I warned "Don't you dare spill open this piece of words in front of anyone"
"But when did all of this happen? A boyfriend, Rach?"
"What! Boyfriend?" I heard a faint voice grasp behind him
' oh Jesus, please let that be someone else not what I guess. Please let my doubt be wrong'
But it seems the angel of my life took no notice to my prayers and I heard that voice crystal clear "I want you home right now!"
