Trapped In A Fake Relationship

Just a few months ago, Wylynn joined CompanyMeta, the largest design firm in Bellona City specializing in large-scale tooling projects, and just earlier, she learned that there would be a new boss. Since it was said that a new broom sweeps clean, enthusiasm suddenly surged into Wylynn's body. But she was also worried that the new boss would extinguish an inconspicuous little fire like her first in order to stand out.

CompanyMeta occupied the entire flat floor on the 16th floor of the No. 81 Building. As a result, Wylynn had to take an elevator, which would take a long time due to the company's floor number. Luckily, she successfully timed in before 9:30 am.

As it was still early, only a few of her colleagues were present in the design department, and upon walking in, a woman standing in front of her desk, seemingly waiting for her, welcomed her.

Wylynn put her bag down first before looking at her and asking, "Is there something wrong?"

With a bitchy aura, Litzy Sacher folded her arms across her chest and sharply said, "Since you and Neo have already broken up, don't make excuses to tangle him any longer."

Upon hearing the warning tone in the latter's voice, Wylynn said ridiculously, "Litzy, you're the third party involved in my relationship. What right do you have to say that to me?"

Due to the unexpected attack, Litzy's expression faltered, but she still managed to declare, "I don't care what happened to you two in the past. All I need you to remember is that I'm Neo's girlfriend now!"

Shortly after, she remembered something and added, "Anyway, he mentioned he'll go to your family house this weekend; why?"

Litzy learning about it didn't bring any shock to Wylynn. Cooly, she goaded, "Why don't you ask him?"

Wylynn was not easily piqued, but her short interaction with Litzy pushed her to the limit.

While Litzy was frowning in annoyance, Wylynn even showed her a smile and said, "Litzy, Neo is not only my ex-boyfriend but also my stepmother's nephew. Strictly speaking, he is a relative of our family. Do you really think he's no longer allowed to meet his relatives after you two get together?"

She then snorted as her brow shot upward and scoffed, "Are you that afraid of losing him? Then why should you get a rope and tie him up? That way, you two will be together 24 hours!"

"You..." Litzy uttered only in her rage.

Wylynn and Litzy went on with their war of words when they suddenly heard two coughs, and Naia Wagener called Wylynn out.

Only then did their catfight come to an end. They turned around only to see several people standing at the door. Aside from their colleagues from the design department, Vice President Hachtel was also there, along with a striking man. The latter stood there in a neat suit and had his mouth shut. Whether in appearance or his temperament, he was clearly superior to others, making him stand out from the crowd.

As soon as Wylynn met the man's gaze, her body froze in place, and her mind went blank.

Just then, Vice President Hachtel introduced the man. "This is President Zacharias. Starting today, he will lead our company."

However, the Vice President's loud, clear voice did not help her break out of her trance.

There were a few steps between them, but Levi's enticing aura had reached her.

Finally, Wylynn woke up when the new boss spoke. "Is that the professional quality that the staff in the design department have, Vice President Hachtel? Discussing private matters during work hours? Their voices were even so loud that everyone on this floor could clearly hear them. I don't see any team cohesion here."

"Mr. Zacharias..." Vice President Hachtel attempted to explain, but Levi didn't wait for him and directly headed toward the President's office.

Vice President Hachtel quickly followed him, still trying to explain as they strode away.

Litzy was embarrassed as the new boss had witnessed her squabble on his first day. It would undoubtedly make a negative impression on her.

She scowled at Wylynn and spat, "Are you satisfied now?"

Wylynn hadn't yet responded, but Litzy had already turned her back and walked away.

Employees in the department looked at Wylynn with sympathy for a few moments before the crowd dispersed. Naia approached Wylynn and whispered, "Is she picking on you again?"

Looking at Litzy's disappearing back, Wylynn pursed her lips, clenched her fists tightly, and sharply uttered, "She's sick."

As the new CEO of the CompanyMeta, Levi held several meetings one after another on his first in the company. Knowing this and witnessing the scene earlier, employees knew that the new boss was strict. Hence, they did not dare to relax even a bit. But the most frightened among them all was Wylynn.

Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine the man who had been in her bed the day before would be her new boss today.

Wylynn was at the meeting at that moment, but her mind was elsewhere, wondering, 'Have I offended Levi in the last three months? It's very impossible that it's all because of what happened yesterday, isn't it?'

Her thoughts were racing throughout the meeting, and they didn't pause until the meeting ended at 3:30 pm. Only then did Wylynn breathe a sigh of relief.

In her cubicle, her thoughts again wander, rendering her unfocused and only relying on her habitual instinct for a long time. Realizing this, she grabbed a cup and went to the pantry to make coffee hoping it would help her wake up.

Unexpectedly, when Wylynn walked into the room, she saw the man standing in front of the coffee machine, his back facing her.

Hearing some footsteps, Levi turned his head and looked at her.

Wylynn's slack nerves tightened instantly, and she stuttered, "Bo... boss!"
