Episode 2 — "A Contract Between Two Idiots"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDYCDixLyv

Liam did not sleep.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QTsBDxGOH

At all.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvpyg8yJgq

How could he?

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99WDjibslX

He kissed his CEO.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZUjm9tTAq

In front of investors.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeAxneZHdn

In front of employees.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4esRgHvpGg

In front of his future coworkers.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1FQVzgxyp

And apparently...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8JNYNWcEX

in front of several people recording videos.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d1XKYuu0B

Wonderful.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZzAGcusnS

Absolutely wonderful.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPTI8K8GDz

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUWrKeYF4s

The next morning, Liam walked into AstraVex Media looking like a man heading toward execution.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fOkgJIlw3

Scarlett patted his shoulder sympathetically.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn01cXy9Nr9

"Maybe he'll just fire you."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgjvsEjB0a

"That's supposed to comfort me?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62tNfyDxcB

"No."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzdGEaVRbO

"Then shut up."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQqLEKYxIR

She grinned.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WPDvXIuZr

"You kissed him pretty well though."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRgIZmrsBQ

Liam covered his face.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5WZEXe7MT

"I was drunk!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0GmQzauXj

"Still counts."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrUPb9qrX8

"Scarlett!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL83mlDvD7

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv3wkspXxz

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtcYqd6s49

A message suddenly appeared on Liam's phone.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4mbgqtGAy

> CEO Office – 9:00 AM

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH6jpkVsoR

Mr. Adrian Cross requests your presence immediately.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXmhHta6da

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAD79b1Gfe

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH95CtqIKFH

Liam almost fainted.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhu2Idme4F

"Oh my God."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUp3hNDCJD

Scarlett smirked.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMaTo4xe4l

"Rest in peace."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUDH7uYeFv

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rUeNL9nOi

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvildlEHoOP

Meanwhile—

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrIiyrwe29

On the top floor.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCtfzAmICA

Inside the luxurious CEO office.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EkdnKKjH5

Adrian sat behind his desk.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7RrSUI3lc

Calm.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bKk8rJGNe

Elegant.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1IibyxE21

Dangerously handsome.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpazyewi0B

His assistant stood nearby.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv3Kn6TY2M

Nathaniel Gray.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UJjZXgnId

Age twenty-nine.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphk9fGtU2b

Personal secretary.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbyUli1eem

Professional gossip collector.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0Vqymr4rE

Nathaniel sighed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcsB0xFKD8

"Sir."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWI7usae0m

"Hm?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEzJQWwDjA

"The company group chat thinks you're dating."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivOyy5hs3E

Adrian looked up.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWu0qW0BNG

"And?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a59CZyEC8

"And?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtF7yxD3AQ

Nathaniel almost screamed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJa1Ss6MGe

"Sir, people are shipping you!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt56el3k4Z

Adrian looked unimpressed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ52wQQPUK

Nathaniel opened his phone.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbSbP5fKcv

"There are hashtags."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yS323yAmr

Adrian frowned.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiTBwThO1e

"There are what?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHALNj2ZdO

"#CEOBoyfriend."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpEBcfmsuM

"#DrunkenDestiny."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQt9MHlvb6

"#KissGate."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmhgatn1tk

Adrian rubbed his forehead.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlizI9hSWUm

Idiots.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKI1ZlroUH

All of them.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxW31Vp1MK

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ043K1stJQy

---

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX1kXDTPEI

Knock.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9NK97ffMw

Knock.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI42G7dIXm

Knock.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUArzpcYBW

"Come in."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9U2v85z1g

The door slowly opened.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCrn1UwDwi

Liam entered.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfNmUH2IsI

Looking pale.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbvZz3dAPH

Sleep deprived.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuDV6au3AG

And deeply ashamed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq0KDbDOzH

Adrian studied him quietly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEk1QYVj0q

Liam bowed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0D9qD4ZjB

"I sincerely apologize."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo8j5q337m

Adrian remained silent.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgBci9UiqC

"I was intoxicated."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezBoNP2F4r

Silence.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtwqD05aov

"I mistook you for my ex."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQZ0P4f2JW

Silence.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHa5EJCwko

"I understand if you want to fire me."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tl2EmW8BF

Adrian finally spoke.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleex3H45MJ

"I don't."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNImpWaAijS

Liam blinked.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfNGAXAd1h

"What?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNx3EIaYCa

"I don't want to fire you."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH7tSA0cJN

Liam blinked again.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTjgFJFrvH

"What?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU3iMyu8bJ

Adrian stood up.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7KT4A9TsV

Walked toward the large window overlooking the city.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEvtcDq9uO

Then spoke calmly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1peVMUHbz

"Last night investors witnessed an employee kiss me."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BFZnmA4Ay

"Yes."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXOGP66DaL

"Employees witnessed it."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7FrNEASnr

"Yes."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRYJKb4FKn

"Several videos already have millions of views."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IgCgkIMNo

Liam nearly died.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOPb8Ekjax

"WHAT?!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipcxlIQ3nT

Adrian continued.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClciqsSL8m

"One investor called this morning."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2UjBUcJd7

Liam gulped.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tD9dVQeu0

"And?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpFrUnEBJI

"He believes I finally found someone."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwUfARRXMq

Liam frowned.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuXJLwW9iq

"Why is that important?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIERAih0li

Adrian turned around.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtfZnYwSL0

For the first time—

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLOnLCl13F

his expression became serious.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUuzkF7TIc

"Because my grandfather."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAb7alryAF

Pause.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenyWIvhIRv

"Owns forty percent of this company."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94pmYtR35W

Liam listened carefully.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00U28pqA0q

"He plans to retire next year."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vK7w8PscA

Adrian adjusted his cufflinks.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eJAkub3De

"He believes people who devote themselves entirely to work become emotionally unstable."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSEEUgH3IW

Liam nodded slowly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGE6CE0gqa

Fair enough.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1FEtgrvAz

Adrian sighed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHgSb9L73L

"He has spent three years trying to set me up with people."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrux9DMVkQ6

Liam looked horrified.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiU1W3ppKF

"Oh."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGmM53f42A

"He said if I don't settle down..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix95dstTGI

Adrian's voice became colder.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYMoeJEh5t

"...he'll appoint my cousin as temporary CEO."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWIWLtoTVG

Liam blinked.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLZSmVW82R

Twice.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhQpv2Twr2

Three times.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm0W1wRaxy

"So..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE986AtWY1

Adrian walked back toward his desk.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimg2tzbH4w

Opened a folder.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPALce0AR1c

Placed it in front of Liam.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsusaQw1h5T

Inside was a document.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZKz8i62Wy

Title:

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GPE2irgNg

RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENT

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAkbGaygLs

Liam stared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG369TwGEDa

Then stared harder.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSFLx79cAo

Then stared even harder.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDS7XI6jBs

"No."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ141aMGHZpL

Adrian smiled faintly.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEacQRBOXL

"Yes."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQSHrt2yr8

"No."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIfRrx2iDy

"Yes."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPSBnlZ62i

Liam looked betrayed by life itself.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRojOpD6e3W

"You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0qprqoDAM

"Correct."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0lVtE8v07

"For how long?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVMhTVgAKQ

"Six months."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWynPnsSFWe

"Absolutely not."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTlAhVKucO

Adrian nodded.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyGMjcmTPB

Expected.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqPi80dwzw

Then slid another paper across the desk.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipqfWpTwNv

Liam picked it up.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkokeGJNzl1

And froze.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR2ekw0Z4y

It was his employment contract.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWInKgOMZxz

Alongside another document.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVj2wXeyRO

A promotion offer.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkuTSEBHhM

Paid vacation.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2gdNVXcRD

Liam whispered,

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoc75yHNnr

"You're bribing me."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxsTw4qRZ8

Adrian sat down.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtOB4Kov6M

"I'm negotiating."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHhiTMGI4B

Liam looked offended.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHuc4EvbCT

"This is unethical."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqRpBIiUnd

Adrian raised an eyebrow.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDJ8Pmzc7R

"Did you kissing your CEO seem ethical?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotqk7YGFYC

Liam opened his mouth.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvOraCp6ro

Closed it.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzibtuT04ff

Opened it again.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpOSHk5d9j

Nothing came out.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq4njJQYHH

Adrian smirked.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJvbHAjqNk

Checkmate.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYrYVwTmOU

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb1Sgb4oy0

---

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0rqsHQn9m

Liam crossed his arms.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4v37Xdy7Z

"Fine."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FEFmZPqo7

"But if we're doing this..."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIEiDjnByL

Adrian waited.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8iWOIeP3v

Liam pointed dramatically.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMiYMMYVXo

"I have conditions."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkzDK9ah66

"Go ahead."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzracse7v7h

"No kissing."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkSgL7GUOg

Adrian nodded.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5SFJ8XblU

"Agreed."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDIoXXvhmq

"No touching."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxmDvJEHMg

"Reasonable."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uF2RyGFIm

"No sleeping in the same room."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS7uOqmeXa

"Fine."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cACMOTkU5

"No catching feelings."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYJmaSWIgy

Adrian almost laughed.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGxRXGobvC

Almost.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jz3pLoZvo

Instead he leaned back.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjHX7rGEID

Eyes dark.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnySXnwlgI

Amused.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKR2tXkDgm

"Mr. Hart."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJjonbLN7e

"What?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5D8ozEtF6

"I disliked you the moment you opened your mouth."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO72v8aazf

Liam gasped.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8IqevinIW

"Excuse me?!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi8cPHLrBP

Adrian smiled.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBM5IqmUx3

"You called me a cheating bastard."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hWhrUKAId

"You looked like my ex!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7XsOjqrjN

"You kissed me."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMLTMPWT4y

"You let me!"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENH3A9KI4y

"You grabbed my tie."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzP9AQ8Npf

Liam became silent.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9ziptQrce

Fair point.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclwFa3AMdo

Adrian extended his hand.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWTzFSUlpt

"So."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIzMY2uT70

"A contract?"

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wxbo20Rh0

Liam stared.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszup6EDOju

Long.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDIkSwNYwR

Hard.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhMnq2YxSV

Then finally shook his hand.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdc9YXdzvl

"Six months."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtURjW5WNy

Adrian nodded.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadOsfwOkvc

"Six months."

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqYsKTEREZ

Neither noticed Nathaniel standing outside the office.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiUoSgiwza

Secretly recording everything.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh36bN8BRLw

Smiling like a villain.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyGgLixmum

Because tomorrow—

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBvewR7kPW

the entire company would learn that their cold CEO suddenly had a boyfriend.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoZkm9DtD7

And chaos...

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8xov1wcTH

was just beginning.

6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC84OVbXbk

To Be Continued... 🖤📞6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQtDcOEO2C
