Samantha's pov:
I stared at the mirror as I applied a little make up on my face then I fixed my earrings before arranging my dress.
Hmmm
Another workday.
I dressed my hair before standing up from my stool then I picked my hand bag, put on my shoes and left the room.
"(Laughs) Really? Awwn that would be nice, maybe later in the evening?" Amelia said to whoever was on the phone and with the hearing of some particular words, I guess I know who she's talking to.
The way she rolled a few strands of hair around her index finger as she talked made me roll my eyes. I'm still against this Mike for all I care.
She turned to look at me when she noticed my presence and her countenance changed.
"Uhm...ah I will call you back....yeah...love you too" she quickly said and hung up then she looked at me.
"Hey" she said to me nervously and I just sighed.
"Good morning" I mumbled and walked to the dispenser to drink water.
"Morning to you too. Ready for work?" She asked
"As you can see" I replied and gulped down the whole glass.
"Alright" she muttered to herself.
"So when is the wedding?" I asked
"Next week" she replied fiddling with her fingers.
"Next week? Isn't that too close? Have you met his parents?" I asked
"He doesn't have parents... he's parent died"she replied and I c****d my eyebrows at her.
"You knew or he told you?" I asked with my arms folded.
"He told me" she replied and I scoffed.
"What if that was a made up story?" I asked and she rolled her eyes.
"No it's not he has a sister okay, he's not alone. Why are you bringing up questions...I thought you agreed to this already?" She groaned then I sighed.
"Fine fine alright" I raised my hands in surrender before taking my phone.
"When I get back we'll talk more. I'll ask Miss Beatrice for permission today since the wedding is next week. Goodbye have a nice day" I said and left the house even before she would say anything.

Jimmie's pov:
"I'm so happy for you Bro. I knew she would like you" Leo said happily over the phone as I walked to the office..
"Like me? She just liked my work" I replied with a smirk.
"Shut up. You were probably too handsome to resist" he blabbed and I just rolled my eyes.
"You're not serious. Anyway I'm sorry I couldn't come and meet you in person yesterday... We closed a bit late from work but I'll try to come this evening" I said
"Alright" he replied
"Thank you so much Leo for everything" I said and he just laughed.
"I'm serious Leo...I wish I could see you in person to thank you more than this... I don't really know how to repay you" I said with a rueful smile.
"I've told you...you don't have to repay me okay? And hope you received the clothes I sent to you?" He asked
"Yes... thank you ... I wore one of them and everything is so good...I liked it" I said with a smile and he chuckled.
"Alright then take care" he said
"Okay bye" I replied and just as I disconnected, I bumped into someone.
"Oh my goodness I'm so sorry" I said immediately before looking at the person.
It was Mr Richard?...I got to know his name yesterday though. He stared at me from head to toe and I greeted him immediately even if it's not what I would have told him.
I wanted to laugh at him because he looked shocked. He never knew I'd be given the job but too bad for him.
"Mr Jimmie" he said with a feigned smile because I could read one when I see it.
He checked his wristwatch maybe to check if I was late so that he could punish me or something but too bad because I'm always on time.
He just left like that without saying anything and I scoffed.
He can't even pretend.
I walked into the office and without associating myself with anyone, I went to my corner. I looked around to see if I could find Samantha but I only found her bag.
Where was she?

Samantha's pov:
"So for the next two weeks you won't be available?" Miss Beatrice asked
"Yes Ma'am" I replied with a bow then she sighed.
"Alright then there is no problem... just that the company is going to miss you and I wanted to pair you with Jimmie on a project since you are more experienced. I felt you would be of help to him" She said and I raised my head to look at her.
Really? I would love to be paired with Jimmie.
"But since..."
"No don't worry I'll still be available... I'll be back before you know it... I'm not going to waste my time in Korea" I replied and she furrowed her eyebrows then shrugged.
"Alright then... Jimmie will have to wait for you..."
The door flew opened and...
Oh my God!
Mr Wesley_ Miss Beatrice Boyfriend. I gulped hard and composed myself when he entered. Miss Beatrice looked pissed when she saw him. She frowned and it made me feel like there was trouble.
"Good morning sir" I bowed respectfully but he didn't reply he just stared at Beatrice with his hands in his pocket.
The air wasn't comfortable at all.
You know what? Maybe I should just leave.
"Excuse me" I muttered and turned to leave.
"Where are you going to Sam? We are not done talking" She said to me and I froze.
"And as for you, you don't have the right to barge into my office like that Mr so get out and learn some manners" she said to Mr Wesley and I almost choked because he didn't react or say anything.
My heart was racing for the unknown and Mr Wesley glared at me.
"I'm so sorry Miss Beatrice but I need to go" I bowed and ran out of her office.
I held my chest when I got into the elevator and I wondered what happened between them. Did they break up or do they just have an issue?
Gosh!
I walked into my department and Jimmie waved at me.
"Hey good morning" I said and sat on his desk.
"Yeah morning. Are you okay? You look terrified...where were you?" He asked and I sighed.
"Miss Beatrice office and her boyfriend just came in. They seem to be quarreling or something. You wouldn't want to get involved" I said
"Wow that's bad" he replied and I just nodded.
"You look so good today" I complemented him and he smiled.
"Thank you and likewise you as well. You look beautiful" he replied and my cheeks flushed.
"Guess what?" I asked and he looked at me, expecting me to talk.
"Well Miss Beatrice said that we would be partners for a new project coming up" I said and he beamed.
"Really? That would be awesome!" He exclaimed and I laughed.
"I know right...but that would be after next week or so because I won't be around" I replied and his smiles dropped.
"Where are you heading to?" He asked.
"Korea for my sister's wedding" I replied
"Wow... that's good" he muttered and we kept talking about other stuff.

Beatrice's pov:
"What do you want?" I rasped at him and sprang up on my feet then he sighed walked closer to me.
"Can't you see that I want you?" He asked and I scoffed.
"Say that to all your mistresses because you're nothing but a Man w***e and I've warned you, stay away from me." I said and he rolled his eyes.
"Was that why you ruined the dinner at your house. Come on, if you want me to stop sleeping around, I could" he said nonchalantly and I hissed.
"What I want you to do for me right now is to leave my office and stay away from me!!! Don't you get it? I don't want to marry you" I half yelled at him then he crashed his lips on mine, kissing me softly. I tried pushing him away but he held me strongly close to himself.
I bit his lips and he gasped then I pushed him away from me.
"Get out" I yelled at him and he touched his lips then smirked.
"You'll still end up with me" he said like a threat before storming out of the office. I panted heavily and frowned at the door.
You know what? I'll go with Penny's plan.
I huffed and sat down on my chair before dialing Jimmie's telephone line.

Jimmie's pov:
As I and Samantha where laughing over what we where talking about, a guy walked passed our department furiously.
Was that?
"I guess things didn't end well" Samantha mumbled.
"Is that him?" I asked and she nodded then my telephone started ringing so I picked it up.
"Hello...Oh Uhm Good morning Ma'am...al.. alright?" I replied nervously and dropped the phone.
I felt a twitch in my stomach when Miss Beatrice said I should meet her in her office.
"What's wrong?" Samantha asked.
"She's calling me" I replied and she cracked not wanting to laugh out loud.
"It's your turn. What did you do?" She asked teasingly and I glared at her then she laughed.
I left to Miss Beatrice office and when I got there, I gave a soft knock on the door.
"Come in"
I walked into her office and bowed respectfully.
"Good morning ma'am"
"Morning Jimmie" she replied with a smile as if nothing happened.
"Have a sit" she said and I sat down with my palms interlocked.
"Uhm...I called you here because I need a favor from you" she started and I nodded staring at background objects before looking at her again.
"It's not work related" she added and I furrowed my eyebrows already having second thoughts but I still nodded.
"I'm having issues with my mum and it has to do with marriage but the person she chose for me is a duck" she said and I c****d my eyebrows at her.
"I broke up with him but my mom is still persistent. So my sister suggested that I should be in a fake relationship maybe that would help get rid of my ex boyfriend" she added
Okay? Where is she going?
"So I don't know if you would be of help?" She asked
"I don't really get you...How do I come in?" I asked still a bit confused.
"I want you to be my boyfriend" she said
"Ma?" I forced out not believing my ears.
She wants me to be her...like her boyfriend?
"A fake boyfriend... just act like we are both dating for the next 5 months" she said and it was still sounding really weird.
Wait am I dreaming?
"But..."
"I'll pay you $10M" she cut me off almost immediately.
Wou... that's alot of temptation.
