You blinked several times trying to process the words he just said. His face was so serious. You couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Sir, how can we possibly help each other?" You asked, trying to stop the laugh that wants to escape your mouth. But your boss throwed a sharp glare at you making you stop.
He cleared his throat while loosening his tie before speaking.
"We can move on easily by helping each other. We can show them that we are not vulnerable by the break up and that they don't matter to us anymore."
"How?"
"Let's pretend to be together, that we are dating. Let's show the world that we're not affected by the jerks. That way, your ex boyfriend will regret breaking up with you— but he still cheated so I won't recommend going back together after all."
"Hmm.. Its a great idea but.." You were still having seconds thoughts about his suggestion. Like seriously? Pretend to be dating with your boss who is a popular person and he's a fucking billionaire for heaven's sake.
"Come on, there's no harm trying right? Let's just go with it and have fun while we're at it. We need to move on, Y/N."
"Yeah I know that. But how about you? You'll end up losing Kei."
"That's the point. I need her to get out of my system. She's nothing but a crazy money-loving bitch in my life." He smiled, showing his dimples again.
"Are you sure you want to do this with me? I mean, I'm not the type of girl for you. We live in totally different worlds. Me being in the bottom while you, you're up there with classy and sophisticated people. They'll just laugh at you dating a girl like me."
Namjoon could see the sadness in your eyes while saying those hurtful things about yourself.
"There are no barriers in love Y/N. Let's just try it. In just a year, let's be together in just one year." He said clasping your hands together. You flushed seeing your hands in between his. His large hands totally covering your small ones.
"I'm not convinced." Your lips turning into a straight line. He lets go of your hands and comfortably leans back the couch.
"Really? How about I give you a one year monthly allowance two times higher than your salary, to live in one of my penthouses here in Seoul and a brand new car?" A sly smirk formed on his face.
You hid your shocked expression and cleared your throat.
"You really wanted to forget about her that much?" You said.
"Yes. That's why I am doing this Y/N. I need her out of my life. She's married to Jackson. She's a money-sucking bitch. She really wants all his money that's why she doesn't want to divorce him for me." You can tell that he is really desperate.
You thought to yourself. What he wants you to do is really hard. First, you're a bad actress. Second, he's crazily obsessed with a married woman. Third, the offer is not that great. You will be tied to him for a year and you need to save up for your father's operation, help your mother in pursuing her bakery business and your brother is soon to be going to college. He'll be needing money for his tuition. Your brother is a very smart boy and he said he wants to be a doctor. So being the loving and caring elder one, you want him to pursue that dream of his. You want him to be successful in life so he can help his family in the future.
Namjoon saw your expression that was obviously not convinced by his offer. He sighed heavily.
"Alright. I'll give an additional one million dollars. There will be a contract of course. Fifty percent downpayment upon signing and the other half you'll get it after a year. Take it or leave it."
"Holy—" You gasped. Your eyes grew big like ceramic plates.
Without a thought, you said yes.
Namjoon nodded with delight. Some how amused by your reaction. Your jaw was hanging open by the shock.
"You won't change your decision, right?"
"Umm.. no." You said shaking your head.
"You really need the money?" Namjoon asked. He was curious why you were not convinced by the first offer but whem he added a million dollars you agreed immediately.
"Uh yes. Its for my family. My dad needs it for his operation." You answered.
"He needs to be operated right away then. I could refer you to a doctor that I know. He's really a good one. He can even give you a discount."
Your eyes sparkled and you flashed your sweetest smile.
"Thank you so much Mr. Kim. You don't know how much this means to me."
It was Namjoon's turn to be taken a back by your smile. A quick flash of pink tint passed on his cheeks. He shook his head before smiling at you sweetly.
"You're welcome. By the way, you can call me Namjoon, Y/N."
