Chapter 3 003

He didn't even ask me.. he just told me what to do and then threw me out" Alina whispered to herself.

''What an a**hole!".

''Dang I couldn't forget that this a**hole was still my boss".

''Was I even allowed to refuse that job?"

''A job where I had to pretend to be his fiancée...."

"How the hell did that happen?".

While she was still wondering about what just happened her phone rang. It was a call from her best friend Riley.

''Ali.. why didn't you call me? "

''What do you mean?.. we just talked two days ago".

And you didn't miss me in those two days?" Riley asked.

''Riley..."

''How is it going?.. Anything exciting happening at work?"

''W-w-what?...W-why are you asking me that?!!".

''Because all you'd talk about is this new job...I thought you wanna talk about it".

''I... it's pretty boring absolutely nothing".

''Why did you move away then?!!" Riley asked.

''You could have found a job here!!"

''Like what?.... Become a farmer?"

''Why not!?"

''I want this job"

''Still...I miss you, it's not the same here without you".

''I miss you too, Rilo".

''Promise to text me as much as you can".

''Yeah Yeah". She ended the call.

Her phone chimmed.

''Already!?... sounds Riley...".

It turned out it wasn't Riley who had just sent her a text.

It was Caden telling her that his lawyer will visit her with the documents she needs to sign.

''Lawyer!?.... Documents!!??.."

''What is happening!!?"she said out loud.

When she got home she found the landlord standing right near her apartment telling her to sign the new contract about a raise in her rent, or she leaves the apartment. And that he is going to call his lawyer.

''Who's calling a lawyer"? an unfamiliar voice asked.

''I wasn't talking to you''

''Well but I'm talking to you...Sir".

''Is that your boyfriend, is that why you don't wanna agree to my offer?". Mr. Sanders asked.

''Mr Sanders I would recommend you step away and let Ms.Clarke enter her apartment".

''I'm her-"

''Landlord I know".

''That doesn't mean you can just change her rent out of nowhere"

''I-''

''Nor make inappropriate offers, Mr.Sanders".

''You may leave now".

Trying to wrap her head around what just happened and who this guy is debating on whether or not to thank him or ask who he is.

''Thank you... for that."

''You are welcome Ms. Clarke".

''And how do you know... my name?".

''I'm Logan resse, Mr. Scott's Lawyer".

''L-Lawyer...?".

''Yes I believe Mr. Scott notified you that I'd pay you a visit, right?".

''He did..."

''Shall we go inside and talk?"

Already settled down Logan brought out a contract for Alina to sign.

''Mr. Scott intends to hire you as an actress, playing as his fiancée"

''While the contract is active-"

''You are not allowed to go into any dates, see other men or women-"

''You need to be available at all times".

''And you need to act appropriate in public to not cause any damage to his image".

''Bu-".

''This is the amount you'll be paid for this job".

He dropped a cheque on the table for her.

''Oh.. my.. GOD!" she thought aloud.

''Are you serious?"

''Not enough?"

''No!I... mean... it's... insane..."

''Great, Mr Scott expects you to sign all documents."

''As soon as that happens you are officially hired. I need to leave now"

''Here is my number".

Let me know if you have questions or concerns regarding this contract".

Logan left leaving alina to ponder on either accepting the contract or rejecting it.
