Trapped In A Fake Relationship

Naia replied quickly: [Who? Who will see it?]

Then, she sent a puzzled emoji: [What's wrong? Why are you so worked up? Is your little boyfriend our mutual friend?]

Wylynn rubbed her temples, suddenly feeling a pending headache.

She didn't even know what to say. Should she tell Naia and Sahana that the man was Levi, CompanyMeta's new boss?

Negative. According to Naia's character, it would only take three days until everyone in the company finds out about their new boss. Wylynn didn't want that. She wanted to work in CompanyMeta for a few more years. She decided to ignore Naia for the time being.

Meanwhile, Naia's response piqued Sahana's curiosity, and she asked Wylynn: [Why, are you really going to move on to find another boyfriend? Do you want me to introduce you to someone?]

Wylynn: [No comment.]

Wylynn couldn't sleep anymore. She decided to put Levi in her group of colleagues and then prayed in her heart he never saw her circle of friends.

……

Wylynn was always on the lookout. When the company held the morning meeting the next day, she couldn't help but observe Levi's expression.

He was sitting in a chair, adjusting the conference microphone, and a faint rumble resounded throughout the conference room from time to time.

His aura was a little profound, which caused the atmosphere of the morning meeting to be very depressing. Vice President Hachtel seemed much more relaxed every time he held a meeting.

Levi was intensely focused on business affairs. He didn't even look at her after the meeting. Wylynn subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he probably didn't see anything about last night.

They had also kept their connection private for so long, and he had never once interacted with her circle of friends. Perhaps she was overthinking, and he saw nothing at all.

Wylynn was distracted all day. It was already lunchtime, and she wasn't done with her task yet. Naia went out to eat alone, and her other colleagues also left. Wylynn sat down on the desk and lazily worked on the weekly newspaper.

Just as she felt a little sleepy, she heard footsteps behind her. A familiar-looking hand that had held her numerous times suddenly reached out in front of her. The wrist beside hers sported an expensive watch; she saw it was one o'clock.

"Aren't you eating?" he spoke softly, his voice almost tickling her head.

Wylynn inhaled the familiar scent of cedar on his body and blushed inexplicably. She cautiously looked around first and realized they were alone in the office. "I'm not yet done," she muttered.

"Is that so?" Levi hummed.

Afraid she'd get too close to Levi, Wylynn carefully turned around. Unfortunately, when she lifted her head to meet his gaze, he was already centimeters away from hers. "Boss, what are you..." she stuttered nervously.

Levi locked his gaze on her. "Why were you staring at me the whole time during the meeting?" he questioned calmly, without a hint of humor.

The question touched her ego a little. He must have thought she was obsessing with him during the meeting. She knew it wasn't the case.

So, she suppressed the discomfort in her chest and replied to him, "I had some questions that needed to be explained more clearly."

"That's it?" Levi obviously wasn't convinced.

Wylynn nodded, acting oblivious. "What else could it be?"

Levi reached his other hand to rest on her work table, trapping her between his arms. "Why didn't you come to the hotel last night? I was waiting for you," he asked, making Wylynn's heart race.

"I had an emergency last night," Wylynn lied without thinking.

Levi raised a brow, certainly not convinced. "What's the emergency?"

Wylynn's thoughts froze for a moment. Just when she was thinking about an excuse, he tapped the table with his finger lightly, and the soft sound of his finger against the wood brought her back to her senses.

"Looking for your next boyfriend?" he suddenly asked.

His voice was loud and clear as the day, and Wylynn heard him. Her mind went blank instantly, her face as red as a tomato.

"Also, what do you mean I can't do it? Can't do what?" he added.
