Anna & George

George

Five years is such a long time and a lot happened in five years. For the last two years, I spend my time looking and waiting for Anna. On year three I gave up and became a mess, I barely go to work and I always drink my heart out with William, who is the only one that's been there for me and the last two years was me rebuilding myself, I focused more on working and right now I'm back on track.

My life is peaceful again.

"George, are you listening to me?"

Not.

"George!" Samantha exclaimed.

"What now Sam?" I ask, annoyed.

"I said, my dad wants you to have dinner with us tonight." I sigh.

"Again? We had dinner with them last week." I complain. "I'm tired of this set up Samantha. When are you going to tell them you like girls?"

"When I'm ready and until then, you need to pretend to be my boyfriend." She said and lean on the chair.

Yep. You heard it right. Samantha is my fake girlfriend, how? Let me tell you. Her father owns one of the top restaurants her in England and wanted to partner up with us, during on one of our meetings, he introduce me to Samantha and actually cut to the chase, saying that he wants me and his daughter to get to know each other. I couldn't refuse, because declining means losing their partnership. So, we went on a date. She basically just pour her heart out to me, saying that she has a girlfriend, but she is not out and proud yet so she needs my help just so her father won't bug her again and the rest is history. Thinking about it, I'm regretting why I agreed to this.

Her, meeting my family and Anna's family at the same time was purely coincidence. They were having dinner at the restaurant we went to and she introduced. herself as my girlfriend leaving everyone in shocked. So now, instead of just pretending in front of her father, we also need to pretend in front of my family.

We heard a knock and then my assistant Maria walk in. "Excuse me sir, your father wants to see you in his office." She announce before exiting again.

"You heard that? I'm busy, you should go home for now." I told Samantha and walk towards the door.

"Oh I'm leaving. I have a date, so I'll see you tonight?" She ask.

"Do I have to? Can you tell him maybe another time?" I sigh. She nod in understanding and pat my shoulder.

"I'll tell him. I'll see you whenever!" She said and walk out. I shook my head before going to my father's office. I knock once, before going in.

"You called for me?" I ask, sitting down on the chair in front of him.

"Yes. I just got off with John on the phone and he told me about a party that will be held in their fashion studio and he wants us to attend."

"What's the occasion?" I ask.

"He's stepping down as a CEO."  For some reason, my heart beat quickens.

"W-who's next in line?" I ask, somewhat nervous. "Is it James o-or" I can't say her name. My dad look at me sadly.

"It's James." I breath again. "You're attending right?"

"Yes, of course." I said and smile. "Is that all?" He nodded. "Then I'll go back to my office." And with that, I went out of his office and hurriedly went back to mine. I close the door and loosen my tie to help me breath even more.

This event is huge and very important, will she be there?
