Relationship of Convenience

Chapter 3.

The plan was pretty simple:

Neymar and Ely were going to be photographed with an iPhone camera, to not make it seem staged, in a mall, Jude would send that photo to a magazine (apparently PR stunts are more common that it seems in the industry) they would publish it to spark some rumors.

Then Ely was going to fly over to Barcelona to attend a football game and go on a date with Neymar, she was going to stay in a hotel but she had to make sure she was seen at Neymar's house. Also, his birthday was coming so she had to attend the birthday party and that earned a few grunts and rolled eyes from Neymar.

Though they were going to be photographed constantly, Ely had to keep a low profile when she was with Neymar. Both managers had an image they wanted their clients to develop:

Ely was going to be the shy, reserved and calm girlfriend while Neymar was going to be the womanizer who was tamed, the one that makes the first move always boyfriend.

"If this goes as planned we will send a statement saying that they have to respect the privacy of our clients and all that," Carlos said, "that'll keep them talking. And stop with the long faces! This will benefit both of you, Ely you can get more roles once your name is out there more than usual, and Neymar, you need her to keep the North American tabloids talking so that your career can get more recognition over there! You know the United States have their own 'football'" he said and handed them each a contract.

"Now, I know this isn't an official contract but I just want you to know that if you break it, you'll have to face consequences. Both of you," Neymar pai spoke.

Ely and Neymar then proceeded to read the contract, skipping the formalities where it said their names and that they agreed to this and the date and place and all that.

So that was it, Ely thought, she was going to go through this not only because, yes, there was going to be benefits for her career, and yes, Neymar was cute and she was a fan of football anyway, though her team was Real Madrid, and yes she wanted to get revenge, to prove Zayn that she was strong and she had moved on and upgraded.

Neymar on the other hand, his ex girlfriend still had a hold on him, he loved her more than anything and anyone and when she broke up with him and started dating someone else as soon as they broke up he felt bad and drowned his sorrows in alcohol, parties and sex. Lots of sex. Maybe this fake relationship was going to help him forget and be a better dad, for his poor soon Davi Lucca who he hadn't seen in so long.

"So are you guys signing or what?" Carlos said with a smirk, and for the next two minutes they did that, signed multiple copies of the same contract.
