Episode 2 — "A Contract Between Two Idiots"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0CFj0rKW6

Liam did not sleep.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AW9KdLD0l

At all.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeQKUNI2ao

How could he?

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH39WiBp95h

He kissed his CEO.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIaOdGks2g

In front of investors.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TxB6zjgCM

In front of employees.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOr4f0MxDt

In front of his future coworkers.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw1ODmoyFz

And apparently...

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASZdjq2Jca

in front of several people recording videos.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mE0aT1Pml

Wonderful.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGSAGdPSV8

Absolutely wonderful.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4aJpNU1Pn

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dUSH44LnN

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

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryj2fO0rj4

Scarlett patted his shoulder sympathetically.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsXcUiO4dV

"Maybe he'll just fire you."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKmBSWkqal

"That's supposed to comfort me?"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfM0EWP3jh

"No."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q44KC7eGD

"Then shut up."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fCKi7prcn

She grinned.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bXGbQQ1Z1

"You kissed him pretty well though."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6liRzHPNF

Liam covered his face.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRF65c6KZX

"I was drunk!"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAy0XACF9E

"Still counts."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFY2PAhXv1

"Scarlett!"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxXbBNa7sM

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4o7neMGa2

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPg5dNYtPI

A message suddenly appeared on Liam's phone.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBTPrGxOeL

> CEO Office – 9:00 AM

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wV6s25EcU

Mr. Adrian Cross requests your presence immediately.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA8y0HaCwN

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIKPDyEM60

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywmi84Wr98

Liam almost fainted.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQkv8XLpA4

"Oh my God."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO2E2AMtyl

Scarlett smirked.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aOVO7hRFA

"Rest in peace."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0cfkRb8a2

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBnHOOooou

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd35zhE9c1

Meanwhile—

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh2GprVyWc

On the top floor.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaGEfRbwa8

Inside the luxurious CEO office.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemVpnMX2YC

Adrian sat behind his desk.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbzpJMxXUW

Calm.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq53I578l7g

Elegant.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vqtOImJ6h

Dangerously handsome.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8FVnVCtAY

His assistant stood nearby.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaknmtWnGE

Nathaniel Gray.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufv3qwRRLN

Age twenty-nine.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga2fMurVYo

Personal secretary.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLodIrw6WNZ

Professional gossip collector.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFAhp44I9M

Nathaniel sighed.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1FxIf36qf

"Sir."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBwZ4AzVMy

"Hm?"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnIruyZe8P

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

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyttNjSYnvM

Adrian looked up.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO2WXcX7yA

"And?"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqDMOyKJI4

"And?"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPYSIMuYKM

Nathaniel almost screamed.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemuw29wGWz

"Sir, people are shipping you!"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8sV4Th1Jn

Adrian looked unimpressed.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDAuqDPUqS

Nathaniel opened his phone.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3CQ5WUWnh

"There are hashtags."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqW3hDuA3F

Adrian frowned.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PUW7F9gcG

"There are what?"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSnzSuY1gn

"#CEOBoyfriend."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaH9RGNr17

"#DrunkenDestiny."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHS7yjktlA

"#KissGate."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdYXKyksdC

Adrian rubbed his forehead.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87RSh7zbfa

Idiots.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOCqRfEeny

All of them.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuldG6q7Ur

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvp67v3Iu1

---

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8UL4zLvUd

Knock.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbIxbZP805

Knock.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA9gICL5YC

Knock.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKETZHmCMo

"Come in."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpDgmzfJCY

The door slowly opened.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG75xVI4zTD

Liam entered.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MFg8tUCsm

Looking pale.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhEfNl3waM

Sleep deprived.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXPdLDLQEn

And deeply ashamed.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecLCHuAS2b

Adrian studied him quietly.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEt7Agn3QG

Liam bowed.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMLxDqH0My

"I sincerely apologize."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpRzEOtaRP

Adrian remained silent.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyvtbLoXRF

"I was intoxicated."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKD80ICz1e

Silence.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkPiw2iBSE

"I mistook you for my ex."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucBeDMIZsG

Silence.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYRp0WGJnL

"I understand if you want to fire me."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBxrquAeUJ

Adrian finally spoke.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWwy3Eaxhq

"I don't."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvpGwsXZxD

Liam blinked.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1ENiV36KZ

"What?"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJlRRosbVb

"I don't want to fire you."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBZG5qYMsr

Liam blinked again.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAKBLwiQWP

"What?"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubQHrftVxl

Adrian stood up.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSCYu9aXgO

Walked toward the large window overlooking the city.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQQXPRy3di

Then spoke calmly.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w9qisFZS5

"Last night investors witnessed an employee kiss me."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcNoZl3ckc

"Yes."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoUNNJ1dm2

"Employees witnessed it."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X6oYGQw2R

"Yes."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT5tRHt7Mx

"Several videos already have millions of views."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLRnjY25QY

Liam nearly died.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RgN9eztOt

"WHAT?!"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeZXvgwUZL

Adrian continued.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5Dh1vmXA0

"One investor called this morning."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUlCfu8IvX

Liam gulped.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6ys7OKBW2

"And?"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeUYATfa4F

"He believes I finally found someone."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy477k08CA

Liam frowned.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0EDWhYMIj

"Why is that important?"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhtxurlsNu

Adrian turned around.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqyyJQ07bp

For the first time—

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMG51kuquK

his expression became serious.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBoAyxaENu

"Because my grandfather."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkpbRoA7zo

Pause.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LZW99Zb1e

"Owns forty percent of this company."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsHi6jUSlq

Liam listened carefully.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE0lv2g93L

"He plans to retire next year."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5dBXMyz6d

Adrian adjusted his cufflinks.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZkTGps3JX

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

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbuNW3h7ar

Liam nodded slowly.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03bUlrJ5Ls

Fair enough.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHC87IvMcG

Adrian sighed.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2CY2hwq8f

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

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0mid8Pni8

Liam looked horrified.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75lLCQK7Ey

"Oh."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHDsQvQa1p

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

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ22Rd8ZZX0

Adrian's voice became colder.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kUUzbRWQh

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

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tFEdaZf73

Liam blinked.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX4MvedwJO

Twice.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTswdzZiEK2

Three times.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwNB5puzfp

"So..."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8pUCuR9VV

Adrian walked back toward his desk.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaZXY4XJLx

Opened a folder.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgroYBxHa9b

Placed it in front of Liam.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsA91bq7mE

Inside was a document.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyy4Lfux0Y

Title:

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPHMXEVLcU

RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENT

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKmynVKx8c

Liam stared.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvCej1kHcb

Then stared harder.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv0RzNwYR5

Then stared even harder.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZDZ2I4Zij

"No."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww7Ch4nBJ7

Adrian smiled faintly.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvGI1ICeEE

"Yes."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbIkptLfEC

"No."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BKq5NbHnN

"Yes."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLSUmc0TLa

Liam looked betrayed by life itself.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VhQ81ScZe

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

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP35BIyVY2

"Correct."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi4XVdJxla

"For how long?"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h2q4gyVFA

"Six months."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UoD1Fy7h8

"Absolutely not."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwJuYAFkjn

Adrian nodded.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosdlPeKvv2

Expected.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpCiT8JhWd

Then slid another paper across the desk.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xUhRCw9ru

Liam picked it up.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrsFfyLM6z

And froze.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K71AFTN1m

It was his employment contract.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMXWNnTzSb

Alongside another document.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1hvgTwnhn

A promotion offer.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSvvCNfyxI

Creative Team Leader.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXhVRKt4yd

Salary increase.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDmZSzR2KE

Luxury apartment allowance.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVJeZ6ijAe

Company car.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHYJR6UjFX

Paid vacation.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDkPenejB5

Liam whispered,

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tRD8B0fGH

"You're bribing me."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOboZjm04BH

Adrian sat down.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiktJgJ1SuH

"I'm negotiating."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAtDN1Krwv

Liam looked offended.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGPaZbj8Pp

"This is unethical."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkipiNmxSTG

Adrian raised an eyebrow.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEH1dMoWIE

"Did you kissing your CEO seem ethical?"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCdIjADi9z

Liam opened his mouth.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjE8CJENPd

Closed it.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Wjehbn87

Opened it again.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRiKJZpXXj

Nothing came out.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrDhgyQwgm

Adrian smirked.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzEcHpK7ki

Checkmate.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuia7CjlBX

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrS8GQ7gUN

---

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYDervzSE6

Liam crossed his arms.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXPkmlXbHz

"Fine."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGEHi4pTir

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

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC1yroCJzh

Adrian waited.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPRBeDQ8bt

Liam pointed dramatically.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqGnjCbvMe

"I have conditions."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKuFpShPo5

"Go ahead."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF8bfLiHCg

"No kissing."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6GkxjaWwb

Adrian nodded.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhDJocgtk3

"Agreed."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKSesV4CsI

"No touching."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnsnjj0eA4

"Reasonable."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3cuUmz7hS

"No sleeping in the same room."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNFd6MwKvO

"Fine."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVX1vzEsHx

"No catching feelings."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW5NaAsPQs

Adrian almost laughed.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUn9iHEvul

Almost.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon67dKSnC4

Instead he leaned back.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP5En3zV9p

Eyes dark.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQj88ATRYD

Amused.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fdDTH4mYU

"Mr. Hart."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKQQMqI16x

"What?"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4TsYWfGlN

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

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZanqjCxw2e

Liam gasped.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCitAkSHo07

"Excuse me?!"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBtnVsHRHm

Adrian smiled.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjP3P1rBds

"You called me a cheating bastard."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeNXO7IHAF

"You looked like my ex!"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OpkKL1X6G

"You kissed me."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6BeIr4rOp

"You let me!"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15HuENmT4S

"You grabbed my tie."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ303xESnTxP

Liam became silent.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8fLswZMqj

Fair point.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5Z3gnbm14

Adrian extended his hand.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K7SayOh5n

"So."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwYXLM1d62

"A contract?"

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwZx1q0AXq

Liam stared.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVCd2uKiB9

Long.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyRA1qbyaK

Hard.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6CNlT6yd8

Then finally shook his hand.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUQ9FuOg3r

"Six months."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeky3t5jJHm

Adrian nodded.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sGu6IW3Ri

"Six months."

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj2sMNmvgW

Neither noticed Nathaniel standing outside the office.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYTVDEzkQ2

Secretly recording everything.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7avw5eoRkQ

Smiling like a villain.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuIpApucZt

Because tomorrow—

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp0i6zjixC

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

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhAyUP1031

And chaos...

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSngrQd17N

was just beginning.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOavnGMzFv

To Be Continued... 🖤📞84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx5stQDok5
