More Than A Secretary novel Chapter 8

"Come again, I didn't quite get what you said?"

He said and she repeated herself

"Lucas asked me to be his girlfriend,"

She said much louder.

"Wow, girl, that so nice, wow, your dreams finally came true, he exclaimed with much excitement, too much excitement for someone who claimed not to like her boss.

"You don't look happy about it though,"

He said after a while when she didn't smile or react to his congratulations.

"Well, that's just one part of it,"

"Well, spill girl"

He replied even more concentrated

"Well, the thing is he asked me to be his girlfriend for a week, not a real girlfriend but like a fake,"

She said and trailed off when he gave her a pissed look.

"What the fuck Katrina Elizabeth Jones, tell me you didn't agree to that, I'mma go and wipe that mudafuckers ass right now, who does he think he is and why will he make such foolish request,"

"Calm down, Jord, and hear me out.".

"I finna wanna go and do some ass whopping so you better start talking, wait, why does he need a fake girlfriend when he can get all the girls in the world, okay maybe not all but the majority?"

He questioned his voice calm for the first time since she told him.

"That's why I told you to calm down and let me explain, and before you ask again, no, I haven't given him an answer yet, I told him I will think about it and get back to him tomorrow,"

"Better, but tomorrow is too short a notice though," he argued. "Okay, start talking young lady," he added sitting down and facing her with attentive eyes.

"Fine, the thing is he has this new deal coming up which I only found out about on Monday, it the reason we are going to California, and apparently, the owner of the property he wanna acquire runs a resort in California and is looking to hand over his properties in New York to someone and according to Lucas, the old man is old fashion and believes every successful man needs a woman," she paused and looked over at him and he was watching her with eager eyes.

"Continue, I ain't gonna say a word until you finish,"

"Okay," she continued. "Like I said he needs me as his girlfriend for the week we are in California to convince the old man that he is the man for the job,"

"But you do know it not gonna end there right? That if you agree to help him this time it gonna have to continue till the deal is signed and sealed and also that if you help him you will be deceiving the old man and that's not right,"
