Chapter 2 002

"Can you talk"?

''Uh... yes I.." Alina was speechless.

''Oh.... my... God" her body went rigid.

Just like her brain. The man standing in front of her,the man that turned out to be her boss looked straight up like a god. Her eyes met his chest and she had to crook her neck in other to look at his face.

And eyes so beautiful yet so cold looked down at her. His stare -icy, dismissive and bothered at the same time.

''Is her brain working"? He asked.

She snapped out of whatever trance she was in. ''Don't worry it works just fine" Alina replied.

''I was just inspecting your tie, it looks neat".

James laughed.

''You have good taste sir".

His eyes scanned her up and down his eyebrows raised. It almost seemed like

he wanted to dislike what he was seeing.

But couldn't help but like her outfit choice. She swallowed. He walked to his desk then took his phone and began to operate it.

''Why aren't you happy to see me Caden?" James asked.

''We haven't seen each other in so long"

''I don't have time for you right now" Caden said.

''Rude... is it your mom again?".

''She's not leaving me alone".

''She really wants you to get married huh.... "

Caden rolled his eyes.

''Caden! Why didn't you return any of my calls".

A woman dressed in a green and black gown walked in.

''Because I'm working".

She rolled her eyes.

''I wanna introduce you to someone" the lady said.

'' Come in dear".

''This is Miranda Jefferson, Richards daughter".

''I thought maybe you wanna take her out to lunch".

''Nice to meet you caden, I heard a lot about you" Miranda said.

The girl said in a high pitched voice that obviously did not belong to her. Her face lit up the second she saw caden. Her eyes slowly wandered down his body.

She bit her lip.

''I need to work"Caden said.

Caden didn't even look at her.

''All you do is work" Mrs. Scott, Caden's mother said.

''You need to set time aside to focus on family,caden!"

''And who is running the company while I do that?"

''You have enough employees!".

''They can't do what I do".

''ENOUGH!! I want you to go out with this beautiful lady and get to know her, No discussion!! ".

They stared at each other for a while.

''Mrs. Scott don't you think it is inappropriate to expect something like that from your son?" James asked.

''When he already has a fiancée".

''What!? Who?" Mrs. Scott asked.

''What are you say-" Caden asked.

''Don't you want to get rid of her?" James whispered interrupting him.

''There's a solution for that".

''Right.... Mum, let me introduce you to my fiancée". Caden played along with James.

Caden Scott said and stared directly at Alina.

''Huh!? "

''This is..."

''Alina'' James interrupted.

''Is that true?".

''Are you my son's fiancée!!?"

'She looks just as intimidating as her son..." thought Alina.

''It's true, caden proposed to me".

The second she mentioned his name she noticed his body flinched. He didn't expect her,his employee who is NOT his fiancée to play along with it.

And call him by his first name.

''You started this" she thought glaring at James.

''C'mon Mrs. Scott let's give the soon-to-be couple some privacy".

''Was nice meeting you caden" Miranda said.

''I hope to see you some time".

She shot a suggestive look in his direction.

''Didn't she just find out I'm his fiancée?" Alina whispered to herself.

Miranda was waiting for caden to give her a response but all she got was awkward silence.

So she turned around her heels while still managing to shoot Alina a death stare.

''Your name's Alina?" Caden asked.

''Y-yes, Sir...!"

''Don't misunderstand any of this, Alina. I'm not interested in you".

''W-".

''But you need to do this for me understand?".

''Do what?"

''Marry you??!! "

Caden burst out laughing.

''I won't marry you" he said.

All I want from you is to act as my fiancée whenever my mother is around".

''Are you nuts?"

''Excuse me?"

''Sh*t he is still my boss, idiot" Alina thought".

''Look..."

''She's not going to leave me alone unless she knows I'm married with kids".

''KIDS?!"

''You don't have to worry about that for now".

''For now?!"

''Why don't you just... meet someone and get married for real...?"

''Are you dumb?...Do I look like I have time for that".

She gave him a death stare.

''See all you have to do is to play the role as my fiancée to get her off my case".

''Why me?"

''You just happened to be in my office, Alina".

''But-"

''I need to get back to work...you know where the door is".

She became so pissed that she left his office angrily.
