The Broken Girl Meets Mr. CEO

25| Kendra

Sorry for any mistakes :(

Kendra's POV

"Who would have thought?" Celeste says while we walk out of the Kinsley
Products building.

"What?" I ask walking beside her.

"You are now officially Eric Kinsley's girlfriend." She responds grinning wide at me.

"No, fake girlfriend for one year only." I correct her.

She rolls her eyes, "I like to believe you two will fall in love romantically."

I roll my eyes this time, "Keep dreaming Celeste."

She thinks about it for a little bit and after a long pause she responds, "That means I'm forever alone while you marry a CEO of his own company."

I sigh, "That is no true. Any guy would be lucky to have you." I say smiling up at my friend.

  "I can only wish." She said sighing, "So what kind of things do you have to do?"

  "Well I know that they have a family dinner every week or two. That's the one I went the one day I pretended to be his girlfriend. I met his family that night."

  She nodded, "Speaking of the Kinsley family, I did happen to meet asshole Kinsley today again."

  I furrowed my brows, "I know, I was in the room while you signed."

  She rolled her eyes, "Not Eric, Daniel Kinsley."

  I nodded, "Oh, well I can only imagine how that went."

  She sighed, "He actually apologized."

  "Wait, he went all the way to the building just to apologize to you."

  "Like he would ever do that, like I said asshole. He was talking to this other guy in a fancy suit. He shook his hand just as I walked by. Then, he tried to apologize but of course I don't let him. I just walked away."

  "That probably pissed him off."

  She nodded, "Oh yeah."

  I looked at her snug expression, "You are proud of it, aren't you?"

  She smiled, "Of course." She laughed and I joined her, shaking my head.

  We walked to my apartment. Celeste wanted to spend the night again at my place with the building being closer and of course I said yes.

  I unlocked my front door once we got there and walked up the rusty steps. We both walked in and collapsed on the couch.

Celeste sighs, "I don't know about you but I'm tired."

I rub my eyes, "Yeah, too much asshole for me today."

She laughs, "You got that right, but you know you're gonna have to deal with him a lot now; you know since you are his girlfriend."

I turn my head to glare at her, "Fake girlfriend."

She rolls her eyes, "Fake girlfriend or not, you will have to deal with him a lot for a whole year."

"You really know how to make me regret signing that contract."

"Oh you're welcome." She said smiling sweetly at me.

I sigh and rub my temples. I am starting to get a headache thinking about all this Eric Kinsley stuff.

My phone lights up from where I put it on the table, showing a text message. I pick it up to see Eric's name on the screen.

I show it to Celeste, "Speak of the devil." I say before opening it to read it.

Eric Kinsley

I will be calling soon and I suggest you answer.

"Ugh, if you were going to call then why text me!" I yell at my phone.

I look over to see the confusion on Celeste's face, "What did he say?"

I sigh, "He texted me to tell me he's calling soon and to answer."

"Well, why didn't he just call?"

"That's exactly what I yelled at my phone!" I yell.

"Now you're yelling at me."

I sigh again, "I'm sorry. He just really knows how to piss me off."

"And you have to deal with him as if he was your boyfriend for a year. That sucks."

I turn to glare at her again, "Not helping Celeste."

"Oh, yeah sorry." She says parting my shoulder.

I groan when my phone starts ringing and Eric's name is on the screen. I look at Celeste as she mouths 'good luck' to me.

I roll my eyes and answer, "Hello?"

"Miss.Peterson, good you answered."

"I could just as easily hang up." I reply.

"Wow, that's very rude to do to your boyfriend. I mean I thought you loved me."

I scoff, "Love? You are so frustrating. Just what do you want?"

I could here him sigh, "Well, Kendra I would like you to meet with me after work. We will be shopping for a dress. I have a charity event for Saturday night."

"Saturday night? That's only the day after tomorrow."

"Oh great you know the seven days of the week. Yes it is, is that a problem?"

"Well yes!" I reply.

"And why is that?" He asks.

"Because. I mean that gives me like one day to get prepared. I don't even know what to expect."

"Well that's too bad. I will make sure you are prepared enough. But right now I don't have time to deal with your problems. Goodnight Kendra. Sleep well sweetie."

"You are such an asshole! You did not just-" before I could finish my sentence, he hung up.

I groaned that eventually turned into screams and shouts of frustration. This is what I have to deal with for a whole year. I pray that I will make it out alive or he will because I am this close to killing the asshole.
