He sighed and pulled me closer to him .With no more space left between us I entwined my hands around his neck. "You don't know what you do to me sweetheart ".
Then he ducked his head , kissed me on my earlobe nibbling slightly , mumbling sweetly "My...

The Gala is now nearly killing me. It's been two days since I have been selected as the head of the team. But I didn't even know what the theme of the Gala should be.
" What about masquerade ? You know long gowns , masked people and lots of shenanigans ", Perry from marketing department sighed as she went to her own world .
" This is not some fantasy book. We need a theme which shows our class and glamour ", May commented
" What about something like dark theme ", Ahmed from HR said .
" Again this is not a Halloween party ", Claire said.
This was getting frustrating as it have been going on for the past hour.
" What about something like golden themed , like Champagnes, big chandeliers , tables with candles ...", as Perry again started with the theme I started imagining the vision .
It would be very glam and beautiful. I could vision myself in golden gown and the hall lighted by golden chandeliers. The champagne glasses arranged in the intricate manner . This was it
As soon she completed everyone started clapping their hands and agreeing with her idea.

We have only six days left until gala and right now I am running towards Caden for confirming the guest list.
Within the last few days , Caden became one of my usual acquaintance. Every time we had a meeting with each other I felt like he was acting very suspicious like he knew some secret of mine.
And I hope he did not.
That's when I saw Mr. Black and Mr. Stanley talking or it seems like arguing with each other in the corridor .
"Marcus , I don't think there is a need for me and your daughter to be married and if your asking me to think about this matter again, my answer will be always a no", Mr. Black said.
" Roman , why are you thinking with your heart ? Just take my daughter as your wife and after marriage you can take as many side chicks as you want nobody would complain about it . I don't understand why are you so emotional about this petty matters", Mr. Stanley said
Now I only saw red, that old asshole how could he even think about ruining his daughter's life.
I am going to kill him.
"For your record I am not a cheater like you " Mr. .Black gritted out.
"So what's in your way. Are you gay or else in a relationship ? " Mr. Stanley asked .
" Yes ", Mr. Black answered. What.
When I looked up I was met with glacial piercing eyes making contact with my brown's.
"Yes , there she is , Mr. Stanley meet my beautiful girlfriend Lyra Davis ", Mr. Black said as he was pointing towards me.
Is he talking about me ?
Wait .. what 'girlfriend' , what in the world.
Am I in a dream like how on earth could I be Roman Black's girlfriend.
I couldn't even process what was happening when I saw Mr. Black trudging towards me in a précised manner .
He stood beside me as he placed his hand gently on my lower back as he said , "Sweetheart, this is Marcus Stanley , you know the one I have been talking about", I didn't answer him anything as I was gawking at him with surprise.
When he looked at me again it felt like he was pleading to me to play along.
And that's what I did.
" Oh Marcus, nice to meet you . Roman talks about you more than anything in his life. Isn't it right darling ? ", I looked at Mr. Black again to make sure that if this was enough.
"Isn't she your employee, Roman . When did you started being so unprofessional ", Marcus scowled.
The audacity of the asshole to call him unprofessional.
" The last time I checked Marcus, you have no right to show your face on my personal matters. Now please find your way out . Shall we have our lunch Sweetheart?", he asked me.
"Sure darling, I am so hungry ", I winked at him as we started to walk away from Marcus.
Now , Probably I am going to get fired because of my overacting.
good job Lyra , wooh!!
My mind was screaming as we went to his office. " What was that ?", I asked him.
" What " he answered.
"Whatever happened there ", he said as he started coming closer to me.
" You called me your girlfriend", I said.
"And you agreed that you are my girlfriend", he said.
"What, I didn't sir ", I said as I vigorously shook my head.
"First of all you should start calling me by my name as I am your boyfriend , Lyra ", he smiled.
Wow I didn't know my name could pronounced in this way , so hot!
Don't get distracted Ly !
" Okay Roman, now I think it's time to tell me whatever games you are planning to playl", I asked him seriously.
" I am not planning anything , Sweetheart ", he said.
"Really, well then let me call Mr. Stanley and clarify about the mistake ", I smiled at him victoriously.
"Fine , Marcus wants me to marry his daughter ", he explained.
"Why ?" I asked him.
"Because he wants to strengthen our alliance", Roman said.
"Isn't he one of our main investors ? " I asked him curiously .
"Yes ,but a man always craves for more" , he gritted out.
" So what's your plan ? ", I asked him.
" I am working with someone who can invest ten times than him until then I want you to act like my fake girlfriend", he said confidently.
"Okay, but what do I get from all of this ", I asked him.
" Anything you want ", he replied.
" Fine, so are you going to keep this between us or tell everyone that we are fake dating " , I asked him.
"Now , Let me deal with that matter Sweetheart" he answered.
