Boss,I'm Not Your Stand-in Gilrfriend novel Chapter 18

Hearing Gavin's teasing, I smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, what do I have? I only have myself."

Gavin sensed that there was something wrong with my tone, so he immediately comfort me. "Although you having nothing right now, you have to know that you still have yourself! As long as you are alive and healthy, there is nothing to worry about."

I nodded and thought for a moment. Then I said half jokingly, "How about I selling myself to you?"

Gavin smiled and said, "Sell yourself to me? What can you do? I never do a losing bargain ."

I glanced down at my ill-fitting outfit, which looked ugly compared to Gavin's premium. I gritted my teeth. "I can work for you," I said. "I think I am pretty good at working."

I waited for a while but Gavin was stil in silence, I knew immediately that this was the best answer for me.

Gavin was a rich man, but he was not stupid. It was all right to give a million to an insignificant person. After all, with his skills, he could earn it right back. But hiring an unqualified employee would be a big loss for him.

I smiled silently and leaned my head against the window.  I looked out at the cityscape whizzing by and wondered where my future lay.

Meeting a traffic light, Gavin stopped slowly and said suddenly, "Darcey..."

His voice sounded hesitant and halting, and he sheepishly called me by name.

I was a little flattered. After all, he had never called me liked this before. I turned my head and answered him, "What?"
