Hired Bride (COMPLETED)

Chapter 51 - The Secret

Chapter 51 - The Secret

The next day, Mason took a leave off at work and made a whole day plan with Kelsey. He was so thrilled to spend some time with Kelsey that he had to cancel his meeting with a potential client. At the very moment, he didn't really care about his career. He just really wanted to spend the day with Kelsey. Besides, being away from each other for awhile got him afflicted and upset.

Mason was buttoning up his plain white polo shirt when his phone suddenly rang. He grabbed it from his nightstand table and answered it. "Mason King speaking." He professionally spoke.

"Mr. King, I would just like to inform you that everything has been booked and planned as you have ordered." Nina informed him over the phone. Mason smiled at her news and he couldn't help but feel excited. He really wished Kelsey would enjoy what he had planned for the both of them the entire day.

"Thanks, Nina." He gratefully told her. Nina was about to hang up the phone, knowing her boss had a dismissive tone, but he suddenly spoke up over the line again. "Oh, and Nina?"

"Yes, sir?" She quickly retrieved the phone back to her ears, feeling relieved that she didn't hang up on him. The last thing she needed was another episode of 'Beauty and the Beast'. The beast being her boss every time he was furious.

"Take the day off." He calmly commanded as Nina's jaw hanged low at his words. Did she hear him correctly? Was he actually giving her a day off? Never had she ever gotten a day off from work unless she took a sick/vacation leave. "Get some rest and we'll get back to business first thing tomorrow." He lastly said as he hanged up the phone, leaving Nina flabbergasted.

Nina stared at the phone for a few seconds in awe before she gently placed it back on the landline. "Day off..." She bewilderedly whispered, still peering at the phone. Suddenly, her cellphone rang in her bag and she fished it out to answer it.

"Hello?" She answered without bothering on checking the caller ID.

"You wanna hang out? I heard it's your day off." Ricky asked her. And once again, Nina pulled her phone away from her ear and stared at the phone in astonishment. "Nina? Nina, you there?" Ricky called out, snapping her out of her trance.

"Um...yeah, yeah, I'm still here." She informed him. "What were you saying?" She sheepishly asked him, rubbing the nape of her neck.

"I asked if you wanted to go out. You know, grab something to eat, watch a movie or something? Mason mentioned earlier that he'll be giving you the day off so I figured..." He dragged out. "Well, you know..."

"Uhm... Sure." Nina hesitantly responded.

Ricky did a fist bump in the air as he heard her answer and he couldn't stop himself from grinning widely. "Great! I'll pick you up in a bit." He said before hanging up, leaving Nina in awe and anxiousness.

"Will you get that, please?!" Kelsey called out to Margie as she dashed back in the room she was staying in and packed her bag.

Margie stared at the door as the doorbell rang again. "Where are you going anyway? Who are you meeting with?" She asked while she was strolling towards the door.

"Just get the door!" Kelsey demanded as the doorbell rang once again.

"Okay, okay, keep your panties on." Margie kidded and unlocked the door. She opened it only to come face-to-face with the man she least wanted to see. Her eyes widened as she stared into his confused dark orbs and her mouth hanged agape.

"Margaret, Margaret Wilson right?" Mason asked in bewilderment. "Did I get the right address?" He questioned himself as he pulled his phone out of his pocket to check if the address Kelsey had sent him last night was correct.
