Contract Marriage With My Ex's Boss fifty six
Just as I'm about to scold my receptionist for spilling coffee on some important documents, I feel someone tap my arm. I turn to find a tall, red-haired woman smiling up at me—big green eyes, an aura that practically screams sex. She's the kind of woman Levi, back in his fuckboy days, would've been all over.She flashes a seductive smile that probably works on most men.It doesn't work on me. In fact, it irritates me. Something about her rubs me the wrong way, though I can't quite put my finger on what."Do you work here?" She asks, batting her lashes in a way that makes me wonder if she has something in her eye. I ignore her and turn back to the receptionist. She's usually meticulous, which makes this slip-up even more disappointing. And even worse for her, I happened to be passing by when I caught her dabbing the papers with a towel. "How did that happen?" I ask in a calmer voice this time, completely ignoring the lady. Maybe the redhead will take the hint and walk away. She do

Levi's POV "So let me get this right," I say, pushing myself out of the seat—Hailey’s seat, technically—and start pacing the room. "You want me to be in the shoots?" Matt nods, a smile on his face. "Exactly." I glance over at Hailey. She’s sitting across from us in one of the client chairs, arms folded, lips twitching like she’s trying not to laugh. What the hell did I get myself into? "You’re serious?" I ask, stopping to face him. "Oh, I’m dead serious," Matt replies. "And you won’t be doing it alone. Hailey’s joining you." My eyes flick back to her. Her eyebrows shoot up in surprise, and I know for a fact this wasn’t part of the plan... at least, not her plan. Figures. The moment I walked in and heard the first part of what Matt had to say, I realized that he'd used Hailey's name to deceive me. She didn't even know that he'd called until he told her. And now, he didn't inform her that she'd be a part of the photo sessions. I can't help but wonder, what is he really up

Hailey's POV The nerve of that guy. Marching into my office and barking orders like he owns the place.God, I hate his cockiness. And what do I even hate more? The fact that I found myself obeying his command like I'm some dumb puppet. 'I won't repeat myself, Hailey. Let's go.' Who the hell does he think he is? I'd kill to wipe that smug smirk off his lips. Those frustratingly perfect lips. Ugh. And now my mind even wanders to his lips on its own accord. Great. All because of that stupid, deep, sexy voice of his. I hate him so much! "I can literally see steam coming out of your ears," he says and I can hear the smile in his voice. I ignore him, my cheeks puffing out as I exhale a breath. I stomp past him, out of the office and toward where I'd parked my car. Digging through my bag, I search for my keys, wanting to be gone before he catches up."Where the hell are those goddamned keys," I mutter, rummaging through my purse. Then, I hear it. The sound of keys jingling just inch

Hailey's POV "Okay now do a different pose. Something that shows confidence." I let out a huff and adjust myself on the stool, raising my arm to better display the label on the container. We've been at the studio all morning, bombarded by nonstop commands from the photographer and Matt. One more shout, and I swear I’m throwing this bottle across the room and leaving this place. Their constant nitpicking is driving me insane.I don't even think I've heard the photographer say one nice thing about me all day.But Levi, on the other hand, is killing it. He's doing everything so effortlessly that I'm starting to get a little jealous. "Yes, Levi. That's perfect," the photographer praises. 'Yes, Levi. That's perfect, ' I mock under my breath, rolling my eyes. Give me a break. He's not even doing anything. Just casually standing with a bottle. The man's acting like he's the Mona fucking Lisa or something. I could swear I did that exact pose five minutes ago, and all I got was a shake

Hailey's POV "That's enough," Matt cuts in, clapping his hands. Finally. He turns away from the camera, his gaze narrowing when it lands on me. I'm starting to believe Levi pays people to favor him. First, the photographer. And now, Matt. I wasn't even the one starting up the argument!It's just not fair. "Yes," the cameraman agrees. "That was perfect. There was a lot of chemistry between you two—though I shouldn't be surprised, you're married," he smiles. The first time I've seen him smile at me today. Hallelujah. "You both did a good job. Hailey, if I knew being with your husband was all it took for you to get it right, we'd have done this first," he jokes... I think. Levi squeezes my shoulders. "You see? I'm your good luck charm." I snort. Hardly. "For the photos, we’re switching things up. Levi sits on the stool, and Hailey...you’ll sit on his lap.""What?!" I blurt before I can stop myself. I clamp my hands over my mouth, my eyes widening. "Sorry. That was... uncalled

Hailey's POV "What the fuck?!" Jake's eyes snap open, and a mixture of fear and surprise flashes across his blue orbs. The girl slowly turns to face me. At the sight of her face, I feel myself begin to lose balance, my consciousness slowly slipping away from me. The room tilts and falls backward. The last thing I feel is my body falling heavily to the ground, before darkness consumes me. "Is she dead?" "I'm not sure, let's find out." I hear faint voices whisper over me. Then, water splashes on my face. I gasp for air, unintentionally swallowing, when I feel the water land on my face with force. "She's finally awake," I hear my boyfriend say. "Oh, thank fuck. I thought we would have to deal with a dead body," Charlotte responds. Jake laughs. "She has always been such a pain." Hold on, Charlotte? And why is she talking to Jake? Who are they even talking-? The memories come rushing back to me at that instant. The image of Charlotte on Jake's cock, the look

Hailey's POV Her words leave me stunned, and I stare at Jake, questions burning in my eyes. Charlotte smirks. "You just had to always get in the way. You were so desperate for his attention, so we let you think that you had finally gotten it." I face Jake. "Is this true?" He rolls his eyes. "What do you think? It was all pity. You should be glad I was able to pretend for so long. Do you realize how unbearable you are?" My whole relationship had been a perfectly orchestrated lie by my best friend. How much could she possibly hate me, if she was willing to go so far and so long, just to hurt me? "I hate you so much, Hailey," she sneers. "I would go any length, just to see you suffer. You always thought you had it all. Always trying to rub your perfect life in my face. You have no idea how satisfying seeing you heartbroken is." For a moment, I see the broken girl I met in my junior year of high school. Instead of anger, pity for her overwhelms me. She had an abusive child

Hailey's POV The man looms in front of me, and I'm able to trace out his huge form in the darkness. He towers above me by at least a feet, his presence intimidating and radiating menace. The alcohol is completely gone now, leaving me sobered up, and I realize just how vulnerable I am. Trying to act smart would do nothing to help right now, as he can easily overpower me with his size, so I settle for the next best thing. Begging. "Please, just let me go. What do you want?" He chuckles, a low sound that makes my skin crawl. He steps closer, backing me against the cold brick wall. "Don't come any closer," I warn him, trying to portray the boldness I don't feel, but my voice betrays me. He blocks me from the street, so if anyone were to pass by, they wouldn't be able to see what's happening. "Now, why would I do that, baby girl? When I have you right where I want you?" His calloused palm grazes my cheek, sending a jolt of revulsion through me. His other hand begins to ro

Charlotte's POV "I'm here to see my boyfriend, Jake. Jake Presley?" I say again, louder this time, to the receptionist who seems determined to ignore me. "You know, your boss?" She keeps typing like I'm invisible. She keeps typing like I’m invisible.I clench my jaw, tapping my freshly done nails on the desk. I just had them done, and now I’m ruining them on this cheap-ass counter."Is he in?" I ask, leaning forward. She ignores me still. I knock on the desk harder. "Hey? Lady? If you're not going to do your job, why are you even here." She glances at me briefly, her face twisting with disdain, but doesn't say anything. What the hell is wrong with this lady? I click my tongue in irritation, deciding to get her to respond one way or another. I'm done being polite. I spot a cup of coffee on her desk and, without hesitation, tip it over. The liquid splashes across her lap and over a stack of papers."What the hell?!" she shrieks, leaping to her feet.Guess it was hot. Oh well. Bon

Hailey's POVHe’s adjusted to this whole friendship thing so fast, it’s almost unsettling. It's been a week since we got back, and he won't stop calling me his friend every chance he gets. I know I should be happy about it—since I'm the one who asked for this—but it's fucking unnerving. Sometimes I wonder if he says it just to get a reaction out of me. Because the way he acts makes it hard to believe he ever said he liked me. I sigh and tap aimlessly at my laptop. I’ve been coming into the office nearly every day lately, thanks to the upcoming launch of our new skincare line. As the PR manager, I’m supposed to be cooking up ways to boost publicity, but right now, I’m seriously rethinking all my life choices.That makes me remember—Levi wasn't bluffing when he said he'd help me start up my own business. He made me call my parents and sat right in front of me while I told them about my plans, just to make sure I didn't chicken out. Surprisingly, took it well— better than I expected.

Levi's POV"I think we should just be friends." Those damned words keep playing on a loop in my head, even as we wheel our luggage through airport security. It's been two nights, and they still won’t leave me alone.What a way to get turned down. *Flashback*She uttered the worst words a man could hear after confessing his feelings, and at the worst fucking moment. "Hailey—" I began to speak, but she raised her hand, stopping me. "Let me speak, Levi," she said softly. "I liked how things have been between us, too." Hope flickered in my chest, but it didn't live long. "But we can't let it go on. I'm afraid one of us would get hurt... it's too risky," she continued. "If we stay just friends, we won't explore beyond the friendship level, and none of us would end up getting hurt when all this is finally over." My jaw clenched and unclenched. She hadn't even given us a shot, and was already already shutting it down? Who the hell gave her the right to make that choice for both of u

Levi's POV"You're kidding, right?" she asks, propping herself up on her elbow.I lift my brows. "Do I sound like I'm kidding?" She studies me, then shakes her head. "No… but you must be.""I’m not." My voice is steady. "I’m dead serious. We could make him regret hurting you. Nothing too crazy—just enough to teach him a lesson. So he knows not to lay hands on women."She looks at me like I've lost it, then hums and lays back on my chest. My fingers drift lightly along her neck. I love the way she shivers at my touch."Just a little scare, Hailey," I murmur.For some reason, getting back at him feels more important to me than it should. Just the thought of letting him get away with it, and him thinking he won't face the consequences of his actions, annoys me. In a way, Hailey's not the only reason why I want this so much—though she's the main one. It's him. The sonofabitch walks around the office with his nose up like he owns the place. He's lazy, a slacker, and even worse? He's a
