They decided to go to the parking lot to get some fresh air, and to get away from the noise and from the crowd...
“So, tell me... Are you trying to get all of our attention by dressing up like that? ” Nick asked, out of the blue.
Amaia instantly got annoyed by Nick Sorrento's impertinent question.
"Why, is it a crime to go to a party wearing a dress like this and have some fun? And why are you asking me this kind of question?" she bombarded him with questions.
"Alright, you don't need to answer my question. I'm sorry if I offended you with my question..." Nick apologized rightaway.
"Well, I'm not really comfortable with clubs, anyway. I'm going back home." Amaia stated in a matter-of-factly tone.
“And who says I’ll let you go home?" Nick Sorrento suddenly asks her.
"W-What do you mean?" Amaia asked back, while anxiously looking at Nick.
"I helped you awhile ago, remember? And now, I'm expecting something in return." Nick mysteriously stated.
Nick's voice is so sexy, and it made Amaia's knees weak like jelly.
"What do you want? Money?" Amaia forced herself to speak.
"Money? Are you insulting me? I don’t need it. In fact, I only want one thing from you ... And that is...” Nick moved closer to Amaia as he stares at her without blinking...
"W- What do you want?" Amaia stammered.
"As I was saying... I need your body --- to repay me." Nick whispered at her ear.
"Stay away from me, you p*****t!" Amaia hysterically warns him.
"I helped you awhile ago, remember? And now, I'm expecting something in return." Nick mysteriously stated.
Nick's voice is so sexy, and it made Amaia's knees weak like jelly.
"Hey, why do you look so shocked? Don’t worry, I’ll be very gentle with you. ” Nick said, while grinning from ear to ear.
"If I could only erase that stupid grin from his face!" Amaia angrily said to herself.
"You p*****t!" Amaia shrieked at him.
"Sorry to disappoint you, sweetheart, but it’s not what you think it is. First of all--- you’re not my type. And secondly, I could have any woman I want. To make it more clear, you're not my type of woman. But, I need you to play the role of my girlfriend infront of the cameras." Nick Sorrento suddenly announced.
Amaia feels like a bomb suddenly exploded infront of her. Did she hear it right? Nick Sorrento asked her to become his girlfriend infront of the public and cameras?
"Is this some kind of a joke?" Amaia spoke again, when she finally recovers from shock.
"No, I'm dead serious.And just like what I said before, you’re not my type of woman, so I’m 100% sure I won’t fall inlove with you. I'm doing this so I could ward off those paparazzi who keeps on pestering me. And also some girls..." Nick tries to reason out.
Amaia suddenly fell into a deep thought. If she's going to accept Nick Sorrento's idea, it would be much easier for her to invade his private life, and she'll be able to finish her undercover mission in no time.
And hello, promotion!
Amaia looked at Nick straight into his eyes.
"And when do we start pretending?" Amaia asked again.
“Right now. So you better be a good actress, honey. ” Jun responded.
Afterwards, Nick held her hand and escorted her back to Club Z.
And as they make their way to the VIP Room, everyone's attention are all focused to them.
There were also some cameras flashing on them...
Nick turned his attention at the paparazzis...
“Please let me have some private time with my girlfriend. ” he suddenly announced to everyone, and it made all the people shocked and surprised...
Amaia also saw the shocked expression with the other members of NO Borders as they enter the VIP Room.
“Don’t mind them, sweetheart. Why don’t you take a seat here? ” Nick suggested, in an affectionate manner.
"Wow! Nick finally got himself a girlfriend!" Jason said in disbelief.
“Hello, I’m Richard... If you don't mind me asking, how and when did you meet Nick?" Richard suddenly asks Amaia.
"Hold on, guys. Stop interrogating my girlfriend. I'll let you know when and how we met some other time. Let's just have some fun tonight, okay?" Nick smilingly stated, as he held Amaia's hand...
==========================
The next morning.
Amaia looked like a zombie while standing in Boss Lina's office. It was already 4 in the morning when Nick Sorrento drove her home from Club Z. She just slept for two hours, and after that, she went straight to work.
"You look like s**t, Amaia. So, tell me, what happened at the party?" her Boss curiously asked.
"I know what you're thinking, Boss Lina. Sorry to disappoint you, but nothing happened between me and Nick." Amaia responded.
"What? Are you kidding me?! Then, what did you both do the whole night?" her Boss asked again.
"I'm not kidding, Boss. Nothing really happened."
Boss Lina sighed in return, while shaking her head. She was about to say something when someone suddenly knocked at the door.
The door slowly opened, and her secretary appeared.
“Boss, there’s someone looking for Amaia." the secretary informs them.
"Who the hell is looking for Amaia?"
"Well, it'd Nick Sorrento." the secretary answered, while looking excited.
Boss Lina suddenly stared at Amaia.
"Is there something that I should know?" she interrogated her.
"I was about to tell you what happened, Boss, but I'll tell you all about it later. But for the meantime, I need to talk to him. And don't worry, I've got everything under control... I'll see you later, Boss." Amaia said it all in one breath, and after that, she walks out from the office to talk to Nick Sorrento...
"Here we go again with our roleplay." she whispered to herself.
She saw that Jun having a happy chat with her female co-workers.
Nick stood up when he finally saw her.
"We met again, sweetheart." Nick smilingly greeted her.
"What are you doing here, Nick?" Amaia suddenly asks him.
"I need to talk to you about something. Do you have the time?" Nick asked her.
