The Rules

"Boss" Rachael pauses at a spot in surprise and immediately drops the tray on the counter, Tony approaches the counter casually.

"You have been absent for a while now" Tony asks annoyingly and anxious Rachael falls silent.

"If that's how you are willing to run my business, you better quit!" Tony cautions angrily and turns to leave.

"Boss" Rachael calls politely and he pauses at a spot, she approaches him sadly.

"I was running a home tutoring for Jake's son, nothing else" Rachael pauses.

"You seeing us together doesn't mean ..."

"I don't care!" Tony interrupts abruptly.

"Don't miss work even if it's for a second" Tony snorts annoyingly and leaves the café.

"What a jealous jerk" Rachael roll her eyes annoyingly and walks toward the counter.

The car rides smoothly as the pleasant music "Like You by Tatiana Manaois" plays rhythmically, July sits comfortable on the passengers' seat as she operates her phone slyly. The driver peep her through the inner drivers mirror and smirks softly.

"You must have an important meeting with president Gerber" the driver asks sarcastically and July raises her head upright.

"Kind of" she said politely as she cross her arms.

"Do you know anything about him?" she asks cautiously and anxiously.

"President Gerber is among the top five richest bachelor billionaire in London" the driver pauses with a small smile.

"He is hard to deal with" the driver added apathetically and July becomes more anxious.

"He hardly invite guest to his private mansion thus only his old maid stays with him" the driver informs politely.

"Thank you for the tips"

"It seems you are popular here" July compliments the driver ironically with a mischievous smile.

"If you want to hear latest gossips, ask your driver" the driver teases and July laughs softly, the engine goes off at a spot.

"We are here, good luck" the driver informs politely.

July pays double of her transport fare and highlights from the car nervously, the driver drives off smoothly.

"Wow, so hideous" July mutters softly to herself as she approaches the big bronze gate anxiously. Before she could think of her next move the gate automatically opens and she cautiously walks into the wide yard, immediately the gate locks itself which made a fret at a spot.

"Woof!" she exhales nervously and starts walking cautiously along the gravel cemented path. July caresses her two arms softly "So cold" she mutters to herself, it seem the snow poured here last night.

After minutes of walking along the path, a landscape huge mansion becomes visible.

"O.M.G"

"Is this a castle?" July exclaims in surprise to herself as she hasten her pace approaching the entrance.

The building per say is as long as a train as one couldn't figure out the end of the building, it has totally five building on it. The yard was covered with snow and there was waterfall at the middle of the yard.

July nervously presses the call button on the entrance twice and the door wide opens. She walks into the huge mansion, hangs her coat that is already covered with snow on the hallway hanger and walks into the inner room.

Immediately an old lady of sixty years or there about approaches her with a weak smile in the hallway.

"Good day" July greets courteously.

"Who are you?" the old lady asks anxiously.

"Let her in" a loud authoritative voice commands politely and the old lady leaves the hallway respectfully, July exhales.

July stares at every corners of the living room in admiration as she settles on the soft comfortable cushion.

"This is heaven" she mutters to herself in a low tone as she arranges her hair slyly.

"Bark!"

"Bark!" a lovely dog runs in happily and immediately July recognizes it and smiles happily. July being a pet (animal) lover unconsciously sits on the floor covered with a tick soggy carpet, she tickles the dog joking as it dances and barks softly one could tell the dog is happy.

"Where is your handsome master?"

"You look healthier"

"Where are your babies" July asks sarcastically in a polite tone as she caresses the hair of the dog, the dog subtle on her laps quietly enjoying her touch.

Damien V. Gerber who has been watching the scene clears his throat nervously and July immediately turns to his direction.

"Oh my goodness" she said unconsciously as she stands up while the dog runs to its master.

"You are incredibly handsome, I must say" she mutters softly in a low tone, Damien smirks as he could hear her clearly.

"I'm July Thompson" July nervously stretch her hand out for a handshake but Damien ignores her and takes his sit, she follows.

"Agatha already gave me your details" Damien said confidently and July nods sheepishly.

"What's the name of your dog?" July asks nervously in other to break the unbearable silence.

"Roxy" Damien replies vividly with his eyes still fixed on the contract deed.

Damien Victor Gerber, current CEO of G group and the owner of few investment companies, twenty eight (28) years old bachelor, stinkingly rich and also a hot cake for bitches in London. He is a tall handsome man, two pairs of ocean blue eyes that isn't noticeable until one stares deeply into his eyes, thin matte ash lips, athletic physique, he is the perfect definition of handsome. He is arrogant, rude, proud, reserved, loves deep but could be noticeable if close, doesn't love and the heir of the G groups.

"Check on the contract deed, you will see some empty pages" Damien commands professionally with his leg crossed on the other, July nods her head slowly as she flips through the pages of her own copy of the contract deed.

"Seen" July responds confidently.

"The spaces are for the rules in our relationship" Damien informs vividly and July clears her throat nervously as blush flusters on her face.

"I will set the rule..."

"I am hungry" July interrupts Damien awkwardly, he ignores her annoyingly and continues speaking.

"Take a pen the first ..." July's stomach growls loudly thus Damien stares at her annoyingly and she smiles shamefully.

"Nanny" Damien closes the document and stands up heading towards the large dining room, July follows nervously from behind while the dog sits at a corner quietly.

The old lady had already serve dinner before they walk in thus she courteously ushers Damien in and leaves the dining room.

"Food" July squeals unconsciously as she walks over to the table, Damien sits smoothly on the chair and she joins.

"I am not always like this"

"I got hungry all of a sudden" July explains nervously.

"Will you eat or not?" Damien asks apathetically.

"Eat ... I will eat" July replies sheepishly as she take the cutleries and starts eating, Damien smirks mockingly under his nose.

While July eats impatiently Damien leaves the dining room without her consent, the old nanny comes in and stands at a distance.

"Thanks for the meal" July appraises happily and the old nanny nods her head slowly.

"Aside his little mistress, Master Damien never invites any visitor home" the old nanny pauses.

"Who are you?" the old nanny asks anxiously.

"I don't know who I am yet" July replies sarcastically and rushes out of the dining room, the old nanny exhales as she walks over to the long table.

"Roxy baby" July quickly caresses the hair of the dog and walks over to the cushion were she had drop her document.

"Where should I ...?" to her surprise, Damien has already written the rules for her in her document. July stands closer to the cushion as she places her hand on his handwriting in admiration.

"No physical contact with the dominant's skin, lips or any part of his body restricted"

"No clingy relationship except in the presence of the dominant's family members" July read the rules sadly as she unconsciously sits down.
