Trapped In A Fake Relationship

Levi removed his suit before heading out of his office, leaving him in polo with the cuffs rolled up to his elbow, exposing his muscular forearms.

Upon seeing Wylynn, he put the mug he was holding down on the table, turned around, and leaned on the bar, standing a little idly. He then picked up the cigarette box beside him and lit it skillfully. He raised his gaze to her, puffed a cloud of smoke, and said, "Lock the door."

Wylynn couldn't make out what he was saying, so she asked sheepishly, "Huh?"

Levi flicked his cigarette to remove the burned ashes in it and repeated in a deep voice, "I said, lock the door."

This time, Wylynn heard him clearly, but she was kind of hesitant to do what he instructed her. Still, he was her boss now, not just her bed partner, so that she couldn't say no to him.

After reminding herself of their current situation, Wylynn did as she was told. She locked the room door, turned around, and stood there like a stone statue.

Having something to tell her, Levi moved his hand, holding the cigarette back and forth, and said, "Come here."

Upon hearing his commanding tone, Wylynn could only walk over to him, and as she got closer, a familiar scent of cedar filled her nose.

In a joshing manner, Levi spoke, "Weren't you really angry with how I taught my child just yesterday? So why are you cowering now?"

Who wouldn't? After deciding to be his long-term partner in bed for three months and suddenly becoming her boss, what face did she still have to face him?

Nevertheless, she had the feeling that if he hadn't had a fiancée, their relationship would have continued.

Thinking of this, Wylynn felt her ear warm.

Before that heat spread over her face, she took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at him with a pitiful face. "Boss, could you please not fire me? I worked so hard to join CompanyMeta. I don't want to be kicked out like this," she pled, her eyes glistening with tears.

Wylynn said so as she felt Levi didn't want their relationship to become public. Of course, his reputation would suffer if that happened, especially now that he was the company's CEO. So, before Levi found faults in her and fired her, it was better to beg him now. Besides, they were the only ones here, so no one would see her doing it.

Levi saw how piteous Wylynn's face was and how she begged him, but he just smiled and asked, "When did I say I would fire you?"

As those words fell on Wylynn's ear, her tears that were about to fall suddenly retreated, and she was instantly stupefied.

Levi crushed the cigarette against an ashtray and slid his hands into the pockets of his trousers. Looking down at her, he said slowly, "I just sent you a chat on Facebook."

At that moment, she wished the earth swallowed her whole in extreme shame of herself.

Despite that, she courageously bit the bullet and explained, "I just thought it would be better for us to burn down the bridge that connects us since we no longer have a relationship. Besides..."

As she spoke, she could refrain from glancing at his forearm, which distracted her and caused her to lose track of what she was saying.

Levi, on the other hand, patiently waited for her next word. But after a while of Wylyyn's silence, he prompted, "Besides...?"

With that, Wylynn finally pulled out from the distraction and swallowed hard first before continuing, "Your fiancee will surely mind that, which you might argue about."

Levi fell silent afterward, prompting Wylynn to look at him. But he soon recovered and said, "I thought I made myself clear yesterday that we should do it again before we separate."

After a brief pause, he asked, "Do you think you accomplished it yesterday?"

Wylynn pondered it for a moment and answered in a confused tone, "Probably... Probably not."

"Then it's not over yet," Levi concluded.

He then lifted Wylynn's chin with his thumb and index finger to face her to him and said again, "Add me on Facebook again. I'll watch you do it."

For the nth time today, she was again stunned and stripped of her freedom of choice.

Under Levi's gaze, Wylynn sent a friend request to his account, but she didn't add him to any of her group chats since he only wanted her to add him on Facebook.

Seeing his satisfied expression, Wylynn asked tentatively, "Is there anything else, boss?"

Levi straightened up, forcing her to raise her head and look up at him due to their height difference.

Then, with a cold expression, he stuffed a card into her hand and said, "Come to the hotel tonight."
