Episode 2 — "A Contract Between Two Idiots"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jg7MHZ6fe

Liam did not sleep.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlinQAAeFf7

At all.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPyhIHk8Tg

How could he?

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3xQBbv4kL

He kissed his CEO.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gmGIbvetX

In front of investors.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiz6aFKZzw

In front of employees.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IS4jqhAKD

In front of his future coworkers.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmm99wbVnl

And apparently...

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1r8RDD5om

in front of several people recording videos.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFovb9AMtJ2

Wonderful.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHBf7vg6yH

Absolutely wonderful.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbKkooXytH

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

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXd85QSaoM

Scarlett patted his shoulder sympathetically.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6793NMx6K9

"Maybe he'll just fire you."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjdTFIENHo

"That's supposed to comfort me?"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBA2h4uIcS

"No."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigxlttMRlv

"Then shut up."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBIYzJJX0Q

She grinned.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2MFjveTlH

"You kissed him pretty well though."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9K9ZYpRer

Liam covered his face.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrcxV2kLAe

"I was drunk!"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8LGL8D8Aq

"Still counts."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUurCEiVbe

"Scarlett!"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxjMVrDA31

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYH9nPGMmO

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlMmvZZ4EL

A message suddenly appeared on Liam's phone.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaoFgvwJQx

> CEO Office – 9:00 AM

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7mB2np4An

Mr. Adrian Cross requests your presence immediately.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGn0JdSsly

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TOgUAFpbl

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9BLqrokxt

Liam almost fainted.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd2yfN78HF

"Oh my God."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbKOSDSb2l

Scarlett smirked.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCtDakoAbW

"Rest in peace."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESXgaueZv5

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUgo0Bmb1L

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nxO6VB0ZN

Meanwhile—

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvWX6pLgjP

On the top floor.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky49qZHkla

Inside the luxurious CEO office.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBGyKEEhS3

Adrian sat behind his desk.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ7ZVts4DN

Calm.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnzerEdU0Y

Elegant.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD8WJxiXpz

Dangerously handsome.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYemW46XSX5

His assistant stood nearby.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFFth4FUNl

Nathaniel Gray.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9CnSIhmsR

Age twenty-nine.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Q8QmOhNI

Personal secretary.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo2cQCYwIV

Professional gossip collector.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQwNQqRYMJ

Nathaniel sighed.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VJdMAmZIX

"Sir."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2yKdEXdts

"Hm?"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxiqkJ7ajX

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

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVzEMvRGxE

Adrian looked up.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPkXq6sGGl

"And?"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7uCvl3t7K

"And?"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGdnx4NbNc

Nathaniel almost screamed.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrVqA5Nfok

"Sir, people are shipping you!"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe41J6Hn6s

Adrian looked unimpressed.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuymIg6ezh

Nathaniel opened his phone.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3WauKrlwD

"There are hashtags."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm7UQ8NYU2

Adrian frowned.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYTbokZy5P

"There are what?"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O7AUV2cvt

"#CEOBoyfriend."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BNdsUgrN2

"#DrunkenDestiny."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BgOcn0Jl4

"#KissGate."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO16st3eHsg

Adrian rubbed his forehead.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHah8uF5tE

Idiots.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteMg9j61en

All of them.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV41SPZBFfk

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX8Q4OfdGP

---

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGM6W5nEfe

Knock.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMds5wfE3K

Knock.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGDobmuE4B

Knock.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGSV6vK9J1

"Come in."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbFvAIEBOP

The door slowly opened.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XohVeU7GI

Liam entered.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABTUa003BJ

Looking pale.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIhiyxsDIW

Sleep deprived.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVGin2cs1T

And deeply ashamed.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa3EsztiQ5

Adrian studied him quietly.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB3UTEmbNA

Liam bowed.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp2ekoaRAw

"I sincerely apologize."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1PoCwHNFp

Adrian remained silent.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23gp8vqNaY

"I was intoxicated."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jYyZnl5Qd

Silence.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWM0br6BTU

"I mistook you for my ex."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMyjOucCsW

Silence.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI7f9U3CrG

"I understand if you want to fire me."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM7unTeUBo

Adrian finally spoke.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qpYsDnN47

"I don't."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNYpnmFuJs

Liam blinked.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGRT6oeDgp

"What?"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eioSyPRjo

"I don't want to fire you."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1GG9Tc0S2

Liam blinked again.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstFrYwy0VQ

"What?"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZXdSe1Bb3

Adrian stood up.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJdnGPQPK7

Walked toward the large window overlooking the city.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir0S6e70bE

Then spoke calmly.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYk3Dez5E7

"Last night investors witnessed an employee kiss me."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQY4XXPWFO

"Yes."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPVnHm1nPH

"Employees witnessed it."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4IrTw3juU

"Yes."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQipflZQyZ7

"Several videos already have millions of views."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimGoigRrVt

Liam nearly died.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWeSpFr40G

"WHAT?!"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cegBnsfIq

Adrian continued.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qc9HSz2HP

"One investor called this morning."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfC0LblHOo

Liam gulped.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mH88EQ0VL

"And?"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFzx4hnSdc

"He believes I finally found someone."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBODjbj3dx

Liam frowned.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCtwCg6Jz4

"Why is that important?"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyzphNCOkK

Adrian turned around.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1WNTQjCGA

For the first time—

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKNbyTIvoN

his expression became serious.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyqQwXSssH

"Because my grandfather."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RYa2eTWRA

Pause.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MqJosOPk3

"Owns forty percent of this company."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwPAOKNUp4

Liam listened carefully.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGTdOpjb6l

"He plans to retire next year."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvRygocwKL

Adrian adjusted his cufflinks.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3926otYEYm

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

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pJ8muQcrR

Liam nodded slowly.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh5dxH5UnP

Fair enough.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YHqTmtpDX

Adrian sighed.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF3mV9SAJ2

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

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfnZA5R4Pp

Liam looked horrified.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyrAXCoVzN

"Oh."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya02AFryfS

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

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLeztGTi9x

Adrian's voice became colder.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGkMgDzzOr

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

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPq78AQcH1

Liam blinked.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03JrD4RWSL

Twice.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcJ6KjSzNq

Three times.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKJ1P7Yucb

"So..."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmQg2LaSck

Adrian walked back toward his desk.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ruo2q219M

Opened a folder.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgkhcBZWva

Placed it in front of Liam.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aNYKVedQU

Inside was a document.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPU7kSb4ay

Title:

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYAApyDM8c

RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENT

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKMbIjWq4B

Liam stared.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBApRfPZ14

Then stared harder.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ198naqGvZr

Then stared even harder.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TbXbsGJ4h

"No."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK65GSuxNH1

Adrian smiled faintly.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5lQwe1Mr9

"Yes."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MmL8nkW6k

"No."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLFwttVEMb

"Yes."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR3jVQgGFB

Liam looked betrayed by life itself.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtC8ADqFuJ

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

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38l7mYor5Z

"Correct."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4XvRiDTda

"For how long?"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq2GVYVT7L

"Six months."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAleYExsLsz

"Absolutely not."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oIIuMA6PM

Adrian nodded.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE56BHRFsmY

Expected.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5NtZ8m0sU

Then slid another paper across the desk.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa88ydgLYyb

Liam picked it up.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyhyRHGppk

And froze.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnaBMyYWPN

It was his employment contract.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQa5S9onmA

Alongside another document.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiM9dyEG6d

A promotion offer.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFTRSE85CD

Creative Team Leader.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ePdyCHT6

Salary increase.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf1tzoxlq4

Luxury apartment allowance.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Fiqyerqu

Company car.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYGs8uU6fx

Paid vacation.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfkMM7DXnn

Liam whispered,

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3lgKs3B0g

"You're bribing me."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzonKOfNPLD

Adrian sat down.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbCHp8HPRt

"I'm negotiating."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7zJKvK1ap

Liam looked offended.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoUiCv3M48

"This is unethical."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxbNbFHxSM

Adrian raised an eyebrow.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zd2o03T18

"Did you kissing your CEO seem ethical?"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgwDukhJMb

Liam opened his mouth.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJwDwpxVIj

Closed it.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZrdtSWxpD

Opened it again.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiP3Brr5qI

Nothing came out.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJXAVqXPaD

Adrian smirked.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjZf42cvzP

Checkmate.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmt0nHp0Jb

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8NNoBiIy3

---

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rttd866E7

Liam crossed his arms.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6JiIokTwr

"Fine."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UoIVv5X8L

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

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMMQwltV1Z

Adrian waited.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRSpeN2y2h

Liam pointed dramatically.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaorlyHBDKS

"I have conditions."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v5W585Ac6

"Go ahead."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhggFa3ayQc

"No kissing."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHyHBbnNBQ

Adrian nodded.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNslqH8yXN

"Agreed."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymiltcCEF7

"No touching."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO1m19OCha

"Reasonable."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd89pSMfrg

"No sleeping in the same room."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAD2w6ppPf

"Fine."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAXOSLA0yc

"No catching feelings."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQJJkSQegA

Adrian almost laughed.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t77NX0MaR

Almost.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjx0AgWSlh

Instead he leaned back.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPiDrdkCdT

Eyes dark.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusB859UvpN

Amused.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvZW0dDlOU

"Mr. Hart."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvohxDX1f5p

"What?"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1qVWmWEbt

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

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKhVK9iUNL

Liam gasped.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOfe8R0ohk

"Excuse me?!"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETVHtItKJe

Adrian smiled.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo7vhMzbWW

"You called me a cheating bastard."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1RpRbaQ4e

"You looked like my ex!"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCticQkUwD

"You kissed me."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUWBci15Ou

"You let me!"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P6XG0rpwC

"You grabbed my tie."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreSKP592kX

Liam became silent.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXj9e3OnAR

Fair point.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKocwdTW0wQ

Adrian extended his hand.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17mE1eAk0z

"So."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFbls2fpFF

"A contract?"

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7RhKCae52

Liam stared.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdd6EJWMJV

Long.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe006gIXVH

Hard.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDEydJeTri

Then finally shook his hand.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ncU85iDy

"Six months."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8RS5LkE2F

Adrian nodded.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamdxR36R6z

"Six months."

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bC50o5iSX

Neither noticed Nathaniel standing outside the office.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHe3M1srFS

Secretly recording everything.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOgHJV3KmQ

Smiling like a villain.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe3lSSR3Wb

Because tomorrow—

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUYI6vOBnq

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

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMf1Mugclt

And chaos...

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad6IvMgWGm

was just beginning.

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR9dzf4cBq

To Be Continued... 🖤📞28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZFliFd6Uk
