Chapter 4 004

THE NEXT DAY

Alina got to her office working on documents and other important things before Mandy came with another news.

''Alina! Did you hear it?"

''What!?"

''There's a rumor going around that Mr. Scott has a fiancée!!".

''HUH!!?" Alina said pretending to be shocked.

''Apparently,someone accidentally leaked it."

Ms. clarke". The secretary called.

''Yes".

''Mr. Scott wants to see you".

She stood up shocked, her colleagues wondering why Mr.scott sent for her.

On getting there she realized that he was working and he did not give her any attention.

''Hello...?"

''Ms.clarke"

''Sir?"

Caden Scott had his gaze on her,like really on her.

In the past she could see that he wasn't paying that much attention, it was like his mind was always somewhere else. At work probably. And now she realized that she preferred it that way.

His stare intimidated her, despite the intensity it didn't reveal anything. His emotions were deeply hidden. Unlike her's which she barely managed to keep together.

She couldn't stop her hands from nervously fidgeting at the hem of her blouse. Nor could she look into his eyes. There was something so powerful about his demeanor.

It just made it impossible for her to stay calm and composed.

''We'll have dinner tonight"Caden eventually broke the silence between both of them.

''Somebody will pick you up at seven, be ready by then."

''Wait.. why?" Alina asked looking surprised.

''Because I say so" Caden replied.

His voice demanding, not leaving any room for discussion.

''You can't just tell me what to do, Mr. Scott"alina said politely.

''I-I mean... you're my boss but... still that doesn't mean you can force me to anything".

''I just want an explanation".

With both of them staring at each other waiting for who to say something.

''I want to talk about my proposal".Caden finally said.

''Get over the contract with you".

''Oh!"

''Satisfied?"

''Yes..."

Without replying her he continued his work while she went back to her office.

Later that night she got dressed, styled her hair and waited for the driver to arrive. She got to the restaurant and was surprised to see that it was a very fancy one.

Seeing her boss not in his work attire was weird. He wore a black buttoned down shirt which sat tightly around his chest,accentuating is toned torso.

His very expensive looking blazer showcased his broad shoulder line while the button on his sleeves shimmered I'm the dimmed lightning. His stare was curious, cold but curious.

He wasn't quite sure what to make of her, she wasn't sure what to make of him. She eventually sat down.

''Mr.scott" she said confidently.

''Ms.clarke... you look fine".

''Thank you...."

''Let's get to the point"

She didn't expect anything less.But she was glad he didn't try to drag this out. The restaurant they were in was definitely not for people like her.

The ordinary folk. This was an high class restaurant and she could have sworn that she had seen an actual celebrity when she came in.She doubted she could even afford a beverage...

He brought out the contract again for her to read to be sure she read everything.

'"Did you read everything?"

''Yes...."she lied.

The contract was way too long and the language used in it overwhelmed her.She had felt incredibly stupid when she only attempted to read the first few words.

''Good.. Any complaints?"

''I... I'm not sure we should do this".

''Why?"

''Because you are my boss!"

''You are right, I'm your boss".

''And I'll make sure nothing is gonna happen to you"

''Still...."

''ALINA!!"

The second he said her name her heart skipped a beat. It felt so weird, so out of place for him to call her who was so insignificant compared to him by her first name.

Like they were close or something.

''It's a simple contract" Caden said.

''All I want from you is to act as my fiancée can't you do that".
