Publicity Stunt // C.H

~2~

So today's the day I'm meeting my new 'boyfriend'. Frankly this whole idea makes me sick. Why should I have to pretend to date someone to get more publicity it makes no sense.

I quickly got dressed in a pair of jeans and a white blouse and put on a pair of brown boots. Then I gave my blonde hair a quick brush but left it down to flow past my shoulders.

I grabbed my house keys off the counter and was about to leave before my roommate
and best friend Zoey spoke up "Bye to you too."

I laughed and told her I was going out. Zoey had been my best friend for as along as I could remember. People say that once you get 'famous' you leave behind all your friends, but I would never do that to Zoey.

We've been friends since before we could both walk and I don't think that will change any time soon.

"Be back soon?" She asked.

"As always."

As I left Jack was already outside waiting for me. Jack is my driver and as much as I hate having a driver I'm thankful for it because I met jack. Jack is a second father to me.

"Hello miss Becket."

"Stop." I laughed, he then laughed along with me. He knew that I hated being called Miss Becket, I find it way to formal and its weird.

"But I'm just following orders miss Becket."

"Urgh!" I groaned as I sat down in the back of the car. As I got in I noticed that he was playing his best of the 80's album.

"Come on you listen to this all the time." I complained.

"Only because it's the best Miss Becket."

After singing to various 80's songs we were at my management building.

"Have fun Olivia, don't worry you'll be fine."

"Okay thanks, are you picking me up?"

"I don't know but if you need me just give me a ring."

"Thanks jack." I said as I got out of the car myself. I remember Jack used to always want to open the door for me but I stopped him from doing that a long time ago.

As I walked into the building I was greeted by an excited Susan. "Okay this way Calum is through here."

"Who's Calum?" I asked extremely confused, In all of my years working I'd never once met a Calum.

"Your new boyfriend silly!" Susan said as she dragged me down the hall to the conference room. I think that the only reason she's so happy about this is because 1) it means that she gets more money from the publicity and 2)she was probably excited to finally see interact with a boy in a romantic manner.

Even though I've become more popular and have had a lot of boys clearly hit on me I would much rather be by myself and just chill with a tub of ice cream and a nice John green book but no, I'm here being dragged to a room to go and meet a new guy who's supposed to be my fake boyfriend.

As We were about tho enter the room Susan's whispered to me "be nice." Followed by a stern look.

"Aren't I always?" I asked with a clearly fake innocent grin.

I waked in to see a man with dark grey hair who was wearing a blue suit. Well that can't be him, he looks at least 40.

Behind him was a much younger boy with dark brown hair and tanned skin. I assumed that this was Calum. I looked back to see that Susan and the man, who I now thought to be Calum's manager, hugging and chatting away as if they were old friends.
