Did anyone hear the story about the boss and his assistant who are forced to fake date in order to secure funding?

Yeah… It isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Sage

Being an assistant is not what I want to do with my life. But when my father arranges a job for me when he thinks I need a push, I can’t say no. However, my new boss?

He’s insufferable.

He’s cold, callous, and he certainly doesn’t want me there.

One heated interaction with my ex ruins everything, and I’m forced into a fake relationship with him. If he wants funding from my father for his basketball team, he has to play nice.

In public, he’s all charm and suave gestures. He’s the picture perfect boyfriend.

In private, he does things that make me question how fake this is. Things like feeding me when I forget to eat, teaching me confidence in the bedroom, and kissing me when no one is looking.

None of that seems to be a problem for him, but it’s a big problem for me. Because foolishly, I start to want more.

It can never work though… Right? After all, he’s my boss.

Asher

All I’ve ever known is my job. Work, sleep, eat, repeat—that’s my daily routine.

Until our funding is put in jeopardy, and I’m forced to take on an assistant as a favor to a potential new donor.

Sage is unlike anyone I’ve ever met. She’s herself to a fault. She tells me that we’re friends until finally, I believe her.

But you don’t have the thoughts I do about someone who is just a friend.

What’s worse? Her ex shows up one day while I’m around, and I’m so furious with the way he treats her that I step in and tell him to leave my girlfriend alone. Of course the guy runs back to her daddy to tell him what he saw.

Now I’m stuck fake dating my assistant so her father doesn’t pull his conditional funding from the team.

Between acting for the public and trying to keep everything together, Sage begins to slip between the cracks of my exterior, making me fall for her.

Love left me a long time ago, but I fear that after meeting Sage, it’s decided to come back.

I just don’t know that I deserve it.
