Wow, I think I just made Stuart Dirk jealous. Me! The girl he called unmemorable and a side piece.
Suck it, asshole; Landon wants me. I’m not gray and insignificant to him.
Wait, what the heck am I talking about. I totally am. He only wants to use my body once, maybe twice and that’s it.
That’s all I’m good for. Well, it won’t happen. I won’t be anyone’s side dish anymore. With my euphoria over shoving it at Stuart’s face fading, I turn toward my boss, who has a full-blown smirk going on.
Right, I’ll have to pay for this show.
I exhale an irritated, defeated breath moving back to my side of the table, and fold my arms in front of my chest, looking right into his steel eyes. “Okay, what’s it gonna be?”
“Hmmm, I have so many ideas, I don’t even know where to start. What would be a good payment for my top-notch performance tonight?” He places his index finger on his lips and pretends to be in deep thought.
Asshole.
“One wish. That’s all you get. After all, I didn’t actually ask you to play the role of my boyfriend,” I smirk back at him. “You volunteered.”
Landon leans over our table, bringing his face closer to mine. God, he will totally ask me to sleep with him, won’t he? Will I be able to say no?
“Six months,” he says, and I’m drawing my eyebrows together in confusion.
“Six months of what?”
“You will stay as my personal assistant for six months.”
“What?” I shriek. That’s what he wants as payment? What kind of game is he playing?
“You heard me, Miss Ellis. I want you to stay at Fashion Linc for six months, and that’s final.”
This is officially the most confusing, roller-coasting day of my life. People are dropping surprises at my feet left and right, and my brain can’t take it anymore, but I can’t do anything about it. He did help me, and I have to pay him back.
This is why I prefer no gifts. They cost too much in the end.
“Fine,” I grid out.
“I’m glad we reached an understanding,” Landon smiles and digs into his food that was brought to the table.
What is he trying to achieve with this? Does he genuinely believe that having me watch his fuck-games with other women for six months will help him get into my pants?
Yeah, no.
But I guess I owe Kate a hundred.

LANDON
My little kitten just signed her life away.
This evening couldn’t have gone any better, apart from seeing that prick’s eyes undressing Lexi. But in a way, he helped me achieve what I ultimately wanted.
Her.
I have no idea what their history is, but it’s clear they dated, and it’s also obvious who broke up with whom. Every muscle and tendon in Lexi’s body tensed up as soon as Stuart came into view. Her posture went rigid, and you could basically hear the pain of her heart ripping at the sight of him.
Just for that, I wanted to hunt down the bastard and make him bleed. Make him suffer a fate worse than death. And I might know a thing or two about that.
Watching him with her made me see red, even though they were just talking. A possessive hand with sharp claws took hold of me. I was possessive of her.
