Chapter 9
Will Ca really do it? He asked himself minutester after Alex left. The dumbass had teased
him endlessly, asking Liam to let him know anything heter decided to do pertaining to the dinner
with his family. Liam had rolled his eyes and practically chased him out of his office.
Could he really ask Ca? He was her boss for Pete''s sake! What boss would ask his employee
to be his fake girlfriend? A new one at that. He sighed and rubbed his hands over his eyes, feeling
tired suddenly. He had no choice but make her know about it first. Ca came in that moment and
he looked uneasy, feeling words clogged up his throat suddenly.
" Have a seat please " He said as politely as he could, gesturing for her to take a seat.
She obliged him and looked at him curiously, wondering why called her. She noticed he looked
uneasy. Gone was the arrogant, overconfidence Liam, she almostughed at the calm expression
on his face.
" You called me sir? " She prompted when he didn''t make to speak at all.
He just stared at her, a word noting out of his lips at all. She ced her hands on her thighs
and waited patiently for him to get his acts together.
" How was your first day at work? " He started, not wanting to jump into the real subject like that.
She raised one eyebrow, not believing he called her in for that. The uneasy expression she saw on
his face when she came in gave it all away.
" Did you call me in here to ask me that? I''m sure that''s not the real thing you wanna say " The
words popped out of her mouth before she could stop herself. She groaned inwardly, she should
really learn to keep her mouth shut. She had disrespected him enough for a day. She wouldn''t
me him if he decided not to make her a permanent employee.
" Well, my day was good, at least I''m not dead yet " She smiled humorlessly, trying to make
amends but it was toote. She sighed as she watched the surprised look on his face.

His eyebrows shot up in surprise and he looked like he didn''t expect her to say that " How did you
know that''s not what I wanted to say? " He asked curiously.
She shrugged " The look I saw on your face when I came in gave it away. I felt you just
sidetracked when you asked how my day was "
His expression turned into an amused one " I must say I''m surprised " Heughed anxiously.
Ca looked at him suspiciously but sessfully kept her mouth in check as she waited for him to
spill the beans.
" So? " She couldn''t resist the temptation to ask him.
He heaved a long sigh " Okay, the thing is... " He let his voice trailed off as the door opened and
Amanda came in.
" Hi Ca " She waved a little in her direction and turned to Liam " I just came to drop these before
heading home " She dropped the files on the table and straightened up.
" Have a good night sir " She said and turned to Ca " Bye sweetheart " she said with a wink.
Ca frowned, wondering what on earth she meant by the wink. Amandaughed on seeing the
confused expression on her face.
She shrugged as she had no idea what she meant and just bade her bye.
" Have a good night, Amanda " Liam replied and once again turned his attention to Ca.
The door closed behind Amanda and her footsteps faded away.
" You were saying something, sir? " She asked.
Liam sighed " You really have to learn to be patient "
Ca rolled her eyes inwardly but smiled at him nheless " I''m sorry, kindly carry on please "
He shook his head, she was really a difficult woman to deal with " Will you be my date tonight? "
He blurted out.
She looked too dumbfounded to speak as she processed his words " Sorry? " She whispered.
He sighed again and closed his eyes briefly, he was a man of few words and definitely didn''t like to
repeat his words " You heard me right, Ca. Will you be my date tonight? "
Ca''s eyes widened like saucers as she looked at him. There was not a trace of joke in his voice,
he was damn serious! She thought.
" Ca? " He snapped his thumb and middle finger in front of her.
" Huh? " She snapped out of her dazed look.
" Whatcha say to that? " He asked, looking at her with eyes filled with hope.
She finally regained herposure and focused on him. He wanted her to be his date?! Wow
that''s new, she thought. She remembered her friend''s warning on being careful with her boss. Well,
he had another thinkinging if he thought she was the next girl in his list to bed. She made a
vow to herself not to fall into his trap.
Her eyes hardened and she raised her eyebrows quizzically " What do you mean by that? Today
is my first day at work here and you''re already asking me to be your date?! How funny sir " She
huffed, staring down at him under hershes.
He red at her, already regretting why she had to be the perfect person to ask. She was really
difficult and she looked like a woman who would never sumb to a man''s directives. She would
never be submissive to him, he thought. He frowned, why did thetter thought came to his mind?
He didn''t need her to be submissive to him because their rtionship would never be more than a
boss''s rtionship to his employee.
" I would never ask you to do this If there''s any other girl I could ask " He said quietly.
She rolled her eyes " So what happened to your GIRLS? " She ced emphasis on the word ''girls''
He sighed " I just feel like you''re the perfect person for this, Ca "
" What dinner is it anyway? " She asked warily.
" Just so you know, I''m out of this if it''s one of those high social ss parties " She added.
He smiled a little " Nah, it''s a family dinner so I just need you to y my fake girlfriend. You heard
my conversation with my Mom, right? Imma tell you about thatter but for now, I want us to y
my fake girlfriend "
Her eyes widened even more " Did you just ask me to y your fake girlfriend?! "
