I have to teach Summer to check who drives the car she’s in and not to trust anyone so blindly. Even me. Heather seemed more like her parent, scolding and being persistent, than her manager. I needed to beware of her because Summer trusted her.
“Damon?” Her sweet voice came from the hallway as she knocked on my office door.
“Come in, Summer,” I said, standing up from my chair and sliding my hands in my pockets.
She looked stunning in the dress. Its fluttery hem begged to be tugged up. But I behaved like a gentleman and let her sit on the chair as I leaned on the desk, hands in my pockets.
“Do you have your medication with you?” I asked.
She nodded. “Heather brought it from my home.”
“Good, eat this and take your med,” I said, pushing the egg roll I had ordered for her.
“Right now?” she asked, a small smile on her lips. When I nodded, she continued, “Are you going to sit there and scowl at me as I eat this?”
“Yes.” I crossed my arms. “I want to make sure the actress I hired doesn’t faint and sue me.”
“Meanie.” She narrowed her eyes at me even though she had a smile playing on her lips.
I sent her my test result and checked hers while she was eating. We both were clean. I just needed her answer.
Summer took her medication, and when she walked out of the private bathroom, I leaned back in my chair, preparing myself.
“Have you decided if you want to work for me?” I asked, even though I already knew the answer. I had heard it from her mouth while I drove them to this building.
“And be your fake girlfriend?” she asked, her brown eyes gleaming as she sat down across from me.
“Mhmm, and my filthy kitten whenever I tell you.” I smirked.
Her cheeks flushed as she pulled out the file of the contract that she had kept in her handbag. I waited patiently, my hands itching to touch her.
“Before you sign,” I said, offering her the fountain pen. “I have two more conditions.”
“What are they?”
“Don’t fall in love with me,” I said seriously. Because love didn’t exist for people like me, and she deserved someone better. And I didn’t want to disappoint her.
Instead of agreeing with me, she laughed so loud that a snort came out of her cute nose. I stared at her, her wide grin as she laughed and laughed before wiping the tears from her eyes.
“Are you for real?” She sniffed, grabbing tissues and dabbing her eyes.
I made a face and said, “Yes. Don’t fall in love with me. What’s so funny about it?”
She chuckled, shaking her head. “No, it’s just that… you sounded really cringe and like some hero of a romantic book or movie when you said that. I wish I could have recorded that, dammit.”
“I’m serious, Summer.”
She waved her hand like she didn’t care and said, “What else, Mister-I-Am-Serious?”
I sighed. “I was going to ask if you can go commando whenever I’m around—”
“Not. Happening,” she said, her pupils dilating. “I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. And F-Y-I, I won’t fall in love with you, but you definitely will.”
I hummed, letting her believe whatever she wanted as she scrawled her signature on the dotted line.
“There. Done,” she announced, sitting back in the chair and looking at it.
“Good,” I answered, putting the file away, and leaning over her chair. “Now one more question.”
