Exposed//Shawn Mendes

26

By the next morning, we did as Shawn instructed. He picked me up, we took a 30-minute drive to Andrews office stationed here in Canada and we all sat down in a boardroom at a small table. It wasn't a huge office and I didn't expect it to be but it was still intimidating being in this room in front of Shawn who looked nothing but miserable since he picked me up and Andrew who was a professional at helping Shawn dick me over...

I sat in a chair right across from Andrew who sat upright and looked professional and Shawn who was slouching over just looking at me.

"So... This meeting is this about me...?" I asked breaking our small moment of silence.

"Yes, it is Ms. Harris." Andrew smiled at me as he organized a stack of papers that were sitting in front of him on the table. I couldn't get a good look at what they said but it definitely looked like a contract, was it mine?

"Alright..." I said raising a curious brow at him.

"How would you like a promotion, Ms. Harris?" Andrew asked, his hands folded in front of him as he smiled at me. Shawn just stayed silent next to him still staring at me. His head was low but his eyes were on me. Probably the way he qas just positioned and looking me made it seem like he was mad at me, I felt like he was going to murder me or attack me at any moment... wouldn't be a first...

"What exactly am I being promoted to?" I asked raising a brow as I turned my attention back to Andrew.
"Well, to explain a bit, Shawn here has been under flak recently with the Hailey Baldwin rumors. You may have heard the rumors that Shawn and Haily had a little fling at the time of the Met Gala which is not at all true, you were there, you witnessed it. And although these rumors bring attention, it doesn't bring him good attention... It's ultimately ruining his reputation with big-name celebrities such as Justin Bieber, who may I add, has no problem running his mouth about, Shawn. In general, right now this doesn't look good for Shawn. You may not fully understand but that can damage his career or potential collaborations." Andrew explained.

"Alright, but what does that have to do with me?" I questioned, still not fully knowing what I can do to help.
"Shawn and I ask that you play the role of his girlfriend on top of your current contract-"
"What!?" I cut him off, my eyes shot wide open as I stared at Shawn. He just looked away, probably embarrassed.

"Ms. Harris if you cooperate we can give you a raise, twice as much as what you make now, it will all only be for show, and you will really only have to act like a couple in front of cameras. Aside from that, you will still only be the assistant to Shawn." Andrew quickly explained.

"Right, because I fucking enjoy that enough already!" I sarcastically said waving my arm at Shawn frantically.
"Please, Ms. Harris if this wasn't important we wouldn't ask you-"
"What about Daniel?! My actual boyfriend?" I asked.
"All we ask is that you and Daniel don't show PDA. Anything is available behind closed doors."
"No! Absolutely not!" I refused.
"Shawn, I don't know-" Andrew turned his attention to Shawn only to be cut off once again.

"Do this and I'll delete them all..." Shawn finally spoke up. I looked at Shawn to see him staring at me with the most serious expression I've ever seen on his face.

"Tell me who's idea it was," I said, keeping my eyes locked on Shawn.
"Well, Shawn and I both-" Andrew tried to explain.
"Who suggested it first...?" I raised my voice, still looking at Shawn.
"It was me," Shawn answered, "I told Andrew it had to be you because there's no one else I want to do this besides you, Ms. Harris. I am aware of your situation with your current boyfriend but again this is not real and nothing romantic can happen unless in front of the cameras." He finished explaining. I just narrowed my eyes at him.
