The Proud Boss Lady. novel Chapter 27

"So what's the catch?" Lauren asked Keane.

“I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend just to get Nina off my back." He told her.

“You could have gotten any other girl, why me?" She voiced out as her friends stood looking at them.

“Because I want you to, would you?" He asked rubbing the back of his neck.

“Fine, I will this sounds interesting." She beamed.

“Good, this stays between us, no one else should know." Keane gestured towards Rita and Amelia.

“We won't spill, so don't worry about us," Rita added.

"Can we go now?" Amelia asked.

“You girls can, Lauren is coming with me. Her role starts now." Keane added as Lauren walked off with Keane and his best friend Deitrick.

That was so weird, I smell some high school drama rolling. Rita thought to herself as they walked off to the cafeteria to see what was going on.

“Oh hey, hey Zed." Soraya greeted him as she stood by her car.

“Yh, hi." He responded ogling at her body. She looked more beautiful, and had a glow.

“You look beautiful as always Soraya." He complimented waiting for her sassy reply but her reply shocked him.

“Thank you Zed, you look good as well." She smiled.

“Thank you, how about we get some coffee if you don't mind." He asked her.

“Well, I wanted to get a couple of things but I can do that later, I would take you up on that offer." She locked her car and headed to his bike.

“Woah, are you sure you want to sit on my bike, it's a bike and you hate them." He rattled on.

“Come on Zed, let's go." She urged as he drove off wondering what had come over Soraya Wayne.

“Beautiful place you have here," Soraya said as they entered his café.

“Zed I've been waiting --- never mind I would see myself out," Freya said walking out of the café when she spotted him with Soraya.

“Won't you go after her?" Soraya asked entering the office.

“She's going to be fine, forget about her. Also, I would like to let you know I didn't send that message to you, Freya did and I'm sorry." He apologised.

“It's fine Zed, I would have done same if I were in her shoes." She answered.

“So can we start all over again?" He hoped she would say yes.

“No, we can't, I have someone I am beginning to love, and for you Zed Velasquez, you would always be there for me. Always, when I come running back." She smirked.

“Let me say, you're my boy toy." She winked pecking him on his lips.
