"5 million just got deposited into your account" she said shocked.
"Let me see" I said immediately as I quickly looked at my phone to see the credit alert and back to the road as I was still driving.
"So do you mind explaining how you got this money"
"Anthony gave it to me"
"And why? Details baby, I need details"
"I'll explain after we get something to eat besides aren't you tired, you've been in the car for so long". I said trying to change the topic.
"I'm not and I actually went for a walk before you got back and met this really hot guy that I think is my dream man and I want to have his baby, buttt, before I go off track again, tell me why Anthony gave you this money as I am more interested in this than any other thing right now".
"Ok I'll spill"
"Talk already, you're wasting so much time" she said impatiently.
"Ok so Anthony hired me and that's why he's paying me".
"Hired you to do what?" She asked inquisitly.
"Well I'm supposed to be his pretend girlfriend for a year" I said as she just stared at me. "Look, I didn't want to do it at first but the pay was good and this is also going to get me alot of exposure which is good for my career so that's why I agreed in the first place" i tried explaining.
''So what you're saying is you're Anthony like Anthony Williams girlfriend now?" She asked.
"Yes. Well pretend girlfriend to be more accurate" I replied. She went silent for a while before she suddenly screamed.
"You have got to stop screaming. I'm driving here darling" I said with my ears ringing.
"This is good news. Remember how I joked about you spying on the triple gang and getting first hand pictures? It's now a reality" she said excitedly.
"I'm not going to spy on anyone".
"Yea sure" she said in that I don't believe you tune. "So are you going to make your relationship public?"
"I guess so. He wants to avoid his engagement that's why he's doing it in the first place and he already has a background story for the both of us, I just need to stick to the script and not break the contract".
"You even signed a contract and all. I thought things like this only happens in movies and novels, who knew it's gonna happen in real life and with my best friend" she said excitedly.
"Yea I guess. He must have seen too many movies. I don't really think this plan of his is going to work anyway".
"Who cares if it works or not as long as you are close to hot guys. He's for sure going to introduce you to his friends right"
"I guess".
"That means you're going to meet Scott".
"That's so true, I didn't even think of that" I said suddenly excited.
"Look at you looking all dreamy" she teased. "But you know you're going to meet Scott as Anthony's girlfriend right?".
"Shit! I didn't think this through" I said suddenly in a bad mood.
"You never think things through. But it's good too. He's probably going to tell his friends that it's an arranged relationship because they are sure going to know if he's lying about dating you as they are always with him" she said.
"That's true, but what if he sees me as a money hungry girl and despises me" I said sulking.
"You're a money hungry girl" she said giving me a knock on the head. "There's nothing wrong with that as long as it's not excess, besides we all want nice things right? So are you going to tell Uncle Dran because he needs to know about this little charade if you want to be successful" she said seriously this time.
"I guess I need to tell him. But Anthony said I shouldn't tell anyone" I said conflicted.
"C'mon, there's no way those around you will just buy the story of you dating a billionaire CEO out of nowhere. You have got to fill us in so we can cover the loopholes".
What she said makes sense. My trusted people needs to know about this so they will be no mistakes in the future.
"You're right. I'll call Anthony later and discuss with him later" I said.
"Look who's calling Anthony now. I thought you didn't like the guy" she said teasingly.
"And I don't like him now either. It's just he's not as bad as I thought he would be" I said sincerely.
"Ok whatever you say sugar baby".
"Just shut up or you'll walk".
"You do realize I own the car".
"You do realize that I'm oppressive and don't care if you own the car and make you walk either way" I said grinning.
"Sorry sugar momma" she teased.
We talked through out the ride and I told her every detail of what had happened. We arrived at the restaurant she had booked and she ordered alot claiming that I had hit the jackpot so I would have to take care of the bill. After our little feast, we went to her beauty shop together to get facial treatment. She later dropped me off at home. By the time I got home it was already late afternoon, so I decided to make dinner early. Uncle Dran had gone out for a date again. He's been going on dates recently as he just opened an account in this new dating app. Most of his dates had turned out bad and he always had stories to tell. I finished preparing the meal and decided to go watch a movie. I should probably finish the one I started in Anthony's office earlier. Uncle Dran finally returned and he complained about how worn out he was. As you have guessed, the date was a total disaster. Apperently, the lady seemed nice and a perfect match, but she had just recently divorced with an obsessed ex-husband who had been giving countless restraining orders. So this ex of hers came to the restaurant she was having a date with Uncle Dran and created a scene. Uncle Dran ended up getting punched in his left eye. He already had it iced down before coming home though.
"Why is love so hard" he complained.."
"Maybe it's not for you".
"Don't jinx me with your foul mouth" he said glaring at me.
"Sorry old man. But I do admire your determination to finally find love Old Dran". I teased..
"I don't want to be lonely" he said with a blank expression and I knew right away that I shouldn't tease him so I remained silent and watched him. "So when are you finally going to be in a relationship you Single Pringle" he said to probably lift the mood as he never liked dull moods.
"I'm already in a relationship" I said looking away.
"Oh really? With who, one of your K-pop boygroup band members I presume" he teased.
"No. With Anthony". I said playing with the plates in the sink.
'' Who is Anthony?" He asked interested.
"Anthony Williams" I replied.
"Like Anthony, the Anthony from the Williams family that's really popular and handsome?"
"Yes" I replied as he burst out laughing.
"You're delulu all of a sudden. You have got quite a big imagination dear" he said still laughing.
"I'm serious he even sent me money" I said bringing out my phone to show the alert. He looked at me for a while before taking the phone from me. He exclaimed immediately he saw the amount.
"Where did you get this kind of money from. I hope you didn't sell your kidney or anything".
