Chapter 10


    Liam nodded " Yup " He replied, popping the ''p''


    She looked speechless " But... But why?! "


    He stared deeply into her eyes " Because I''m in a tight spot and I really need this "


    " It''s urgent "He added, a pleading expression written all over his face.


    " Let me get this right, you''re having a dinner at your parent''s ce, right? " She asked.


    He nodded " Yeah "


    " So you want me to act as your girlfriend? " She asked quietly.


    He nodded once more " Fake girlfriend, yup "


    She glowered at him " I know you meant Fake girlfriend, you don''t have to emphasize it " She


    ended her words with a roll of her eyeballs.


    Liam sighed, she was one difficult woman " I didn''t mean it that way yunno, and you''ve got arge


    mouth under that innocent face if i must say "


    " I''m still your boss, remember? " He added under his breath. The woman was really getting under


    his nerves and help or not, he had to set the records straight.


    She seemed to calm down a bit but was still a spitfire nevertheless " Sorry, my bad "


    He sighed again " It''s fine, I guess. I just needed your help, that''s all. So, you in or not? "


    " I could pay you for it, if you want " He offered.


    " I would be taking your time after all so paying you money is justified " He added in a light tone.


    Ca quickly thought of the odds of apanying him to the dinner. Did she have anything to


    lose? No. She remembered Jenny''s warning but shoved it away. She could never fall for her boss,


    could she? She was a bit confused. Liam had not made any advances on her and he had not given


    her any reason to believe he wanted to bed her. She sighed inwardly, Jenny would be shocked


    when she heard she agreed to be her boss''s date to a dinner party on her first day of work.


    It''s just a dinner party, right? She just had to y his fake girlfriend, that''s all. He had looked


    sincere when he asked her for help or was it all a facade? Was she just a new game to him? Well,


    she had no choice but to help him since there was no other person he could ask. And it was cool to


    hear he would pay her to show his appreciation. But she knew she wouldn''t ept the money.


    She nodded, resigned to her fate " I don''t have a choice, do I? "


    He gave her a charming smile " I guess not "


    " But you''re always free to back out of this before it''s toote, I won''t hold it against you " He said


    in all seriousness.


    She shook her head " I''ll do it. So what time is the party? "


    He smiled at her gratefully " Thanks Ca, you just saved me from having to make up stories for


    my mother "


    She smiled back " It''s fine, so what time is the party? " She repeated the question she asked


    before.


    " It''s not a party, Ca, it''s a small family dinner. The purpose of the dinner is to see my girlfriend "


    He exined gently, and smiled at the word '' girlfriend ''.


    She nodded slowly and her mouth rounded in an '' oh '' manner.


    " What time is the dinner then? " She asked in a light tone, her eyes twinkling with mischief.


    " Half past seven, I think. So what time should I appear at your doorstep? " He asked in the same


    light tone.


    She looked lost in thought for a while " I should be done at half past six, is that okay? "


    He nodded " Yup, so I''ll pick you up at exactly half past six "


    " Okay " She said and stood up to leave.


    " Should I drop you off? " He asked eagerly, already picking up his car keys.


    Sheughed " No I''ll manage, thanks though "


    His face fell and he sighed dramatically.


    Sheughed at the face he made, finding it funny.

    " What''s so funny? " He asked with a raised eyebrow.


    " Nothing sir " She answered teasingly.


    " Liam will do " He intoned.


    " Liam " She said so softly that he wouldn''t hear her if he didn''t listen well.


    He felt his heart constricted on hearing his name from her lips and something unclenched within


    him, he wasn''t sure what it was. All he knew was, he liked how his name sounded on her lips. He


    wanted her to say it again but managed to restrain himself.


    His eyes darkened as he stared at her " That will do "


    Ca didn''t miss the lust that shed through his eyes, it was gone in moments though. The guy


    was attracted to her just as she was to him. None of them was ready to take the big step and admit


    it.


    She coughed discreetly " Okay,. I''ll see youter then " She turned to leave but looked back on


    remembering something.


    " Liam? " She called out.


    He looked up from his phone " Yeah? "


    She frowned " You didn''t ask for my home address, do you know where I live? "


    He smiled smugly and held up his phone for her to see what he had been doing " Just found out


    now "


    Ca looked incredulous " H... How?? "


    He gave her a smug look " That''s for me to find out, you didn''t expect anything less from Liam


    ke, did you? "


    She huffed " Oh, don''t be full of yourself, it''s not that hard to quickly make a research and have


    my ce found out " She rolled her eyes in a dismissive way but looked impressed nheless.


    He red at her yfully " You should at least pretend to be impressed " He whined


    Sheughed " You didn''t expect that from me, did you? " She threw his earlier question back at


    him, with the same smug look.


    It was his turn tough " You''re one saucy woman, I must say " His tone was light.


    " I know " She replied smugly.


    " See yater " She added and walked to the door.


    His eyes went down immediately to look at her ass. He still couldn''t get over the fact that she didn''t


    shake her ass intentionally, it was the way she walked. His eyes continued to bare in on her until


    she was out of sight.
