Fifth Clause
{Amy’s Pov}
I will be signing the contract with Mr. Clay today. I already took the tests and I was cleared. So we’re moving to the next step.
The director informed me that I would have to meet up with Mr. Brown to sign the contract. I got a call from Mr. Brown’s assistant asking me to meet him at Choco World so I can sign.
I have always wanted to visit Choco World It’s a beautiful and popular place, known for the superb and extraordinary chocolates they make.
They make the best chocolates and the Coffee there is said to be unmatchable. However, the place is very expensive and you have to book one week ahead before you can get a table.
I got to enter Choco World today because of the contract but despite my dreams and fantasies about the place, I couldn’t think of anything else but the contract now that I’m finally inside the place.
My hands were sweaty and shaking, the silence was torturous. So I decided to find out why we weren’t doing what we were here for.
“Mr. Assistant,” I didn’t know his name so l opted to call him that. “What are we waiting for?” I asked.
He glanced at his watch before looking at me. “Mr. Clay will be here soon.”
“Mr. Clay is coming too?Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Yes, he’ll be arriving soon,” Mr. Assistant replied.
His answer stunned me. My head was struck by a strong invisible force with his answer and I immediately got a headache.
“I thought it was just you bringing me the contract?
“Yes, it should have been just me but Mr. Clay had some last-minute adjustments. So he called his lawyer over.”
“Oh,” I nodded and gulped.
“They were running late so he asked me to come over so that you won’t be kept waiting.”
“Last Minute adjustment? My heart pounded heavily against my rib cage.
I knew that couldn’t be good but I tried to calm my heart but my mind was restless as ceaseless thoughts coursed my head.
What could he possibly want to add to the contract?
Then I concluded that as long as he doesn’t ask for my life and he is willing to pay the amount needed to save Nathan, then I’m willing to do anything.
I needed a distraction from thinking. Especially about the upcoming events; Mr. Clay’s arrival.
I decided to look around the room and I couldn’t help but sigh at the beauty of the place.
We were sitting in a room on the third floor. The room had a transparent window which I guessed must be a one-way view.
We can see them outside but they can’t see us. The door was made of glass. The floor was made of Vinyl. The wall had a touch of Marble and an Egyptian Mural wallpaper.
The place smells of elegance and wealth.
I heard the click of the door and turned to see Mr. Clay. He was wearing a Navy Blue Tuxedo today and I got a full view of him.
He has beautiful Auburn hair that matches his amber eyes. His nose was long and sharply pointed. His face had his usual stoic expression on. But he was extremely handsome. “I could already imagine how cute his child will look.
“Mr. Clay,” I waved but I got a nod in response. At least now he looked at him when he nodded. Which is better than the last time.
Without further delay, as soon as he sat down he immediately brought out the contract. he gave it to me and I noticed his assistant get up and left the room.
I went through the contract and my jaw dropped when I got to the fifth clause.
“He Wants A Natural What?
