Lacey's P.O.V
Her cheeks where scarlett red Victoria gave her her drink. " would it be that bad to be wined and dined by wealthy man?"Victoria always talked bout how she would adore it. Why doesn't she tell William yes instead of me.
Lacey Drank the drink in one swallow she needed all the courage she could muster . She was tired of being" the scared little mouse " as Paul would call her.
She walked down the aisle towards first class if she was gonna do this she was gonna do it right. James was sitting next to the guy she had previously spilt her drink upon. They both turned to look at her. Confidence lacey took in a deep breathe. She put her hand on her waist.The guy got and took the empty seat infront.
She noticed He is very handsome in a male model kind of way . Lacey had a weakness for blondes but they got her in trouble (hints Paul).she swore off men especially one that handsome as his long dark bangs fell into his face covering his dark cedar eyes. Think of Paul's betrayal . She steeled he spines and gazed back at James.
Mr. Taylor I have thought about what you have proposed. I will take the position you offered but there will be rules.if one of my rules are broken the contract will be instantly dissolved . Yes ,I am ,expecting all this to be in writing .everyone on both parties are clear and no one will be hurt in the future. Are you ready to write this down so you will remember my rules.
I have two questions before we start. One what kind of company does he run? What is to be expected of my while playing his fake girlfriend.? James was taken back by her bluntness Zander chuckled. She kicked the seat lacy batted her eyes at him" sorry" James busted out laughing at the shocked expression upon Zander's face. James whiped the tears from his face.
Ms. Miller can I call you Lacey
Yes, I can call you James she laughed nervously
Well, lacy my friend is in the publishing company he also owns.They both said it simontaniously Walton distributor .. I use to work there as an editor she gritted her teeth.
So your already accustomed to the business. The position as you referred to it as.you will have to go to two banquets one brunch and dinners . You may have PDA -public displays of affection. If required by my friend more activities we will always give you time to prep and all gowns or clothing will be proved and maybe taken at the end of two weeks. How does that sound?
Lacey face brightened to a Scarlett color. First off mr. Taylor I cannot be bought off such frivalies do not impress me. James leans in "what does I'm impress you dear lacey? " a sharp witted mind , someone I can have a conversation with .that my ears won't bleed and I try not rip off their face to shut them up. " not too many men these days goes for conversation". James purred at lacey as he advanced closer "That's why I'm single no one caught my fancy" James slumped back as Zander busted out laughing.
James shocked expression was priceless .. take that player. Taking out his cell phone to record the rules.
My rules ready,James, there will be no fluid exchange of any kind. He will keep his hands to himself .if he goes south of the boarder I will punch him in the throat.
Zander once again busted out laughing . I will be having my best friend Victoria with me at all time.be prepared for double date mr. Taylor. I will not fall in love with him no matter how sexy he thinks he is.
Lastly I would like a letter of recommendation for my next job. If it's who I think it is then his letter will be golden in the editing world. James eyes twinkled so you will do it?
Yes
I felt like I'm dealing with the devil. Zander got up and extended his hand towards me. Why ?....it all fell into place ... ur the friend
Yes ,I'm Alexander gage, everyone calls me Zander .
"I will call you Alex then" Lacey said with a wink
Our palms grazed he kissed the top of my hands I felt like melting into a puddle of goo right at his feet. He's the devil himself . Lord help me at this point.
