FAKE DATING WITH BENEFITS: MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS CHAPTER 132
~ JAMIEThe Whitmore House was even prettier in person.The car pulled up to the gates a little after three thirty, and I sat there for a few seconds looking out the window before getting out.The property sat far enough from Manhattan that the noise of the city felt like it belonged to another world. A tree-lined drive led up to the pale stone house. It wasn't huge in a vulgar way. It was old and elegant. The kind of place that seemed to have stories hidden in every window.Ethan was already waiting near the entrance."Based on your face, I'm guessing messaging you was the right call.""Don't get excited. I haven't even gone in yet.""You're smiling.""I'm being polite.""Sure."A woman with perfectly pinned gray hair appeared at the door before we reached the steps."Ethan."Her face broke into a smile."Mrs. Whitmore."She hugged him."If you call me that again, I'm sending you home.""Margaret.""Better."Ethan turned to me."Margaret Whitmore, Jamie Collins."

~ SIMONI was in the middle of a meeting with the finance board when my phone buzzed on the table. I ignored it the first time. The second time, I looked."You should know."Below it, an image. A screenshot of a conversation between Jamie and Ethan.My jaw locked before I could stop it. I zoomed in.The visible messages were few:"Perfect. Let's go there tomorrow then.""I'll ask to leave earlier and we'll meet there.""Just don't mention it to anyone."I stared."Simon?"I looked up. The CFO was waiting for my answer."Keep going."He kept going. I didn't hear the next three sentences. I went back to the image.There was nothing sexual. Nothing romantic. Nothing that, on its own, meant a damn thing. Ethan worked with Jamie. They had reasons to meet. She was his boss. There were a hundred perfectly normal explanations.So why "don't mention it to anyone"?I locked the phone."Five minutes," I said, standing.Nobody questioned it. I walked into my office, shut the doo

~ CHLOEThere was a myth people loved to feed: that big turning points are born from big opportunities. They're not. Almost everything gets decided in four minutes.Four minutes with a distracted child. Four minutes while a man takes a call in another room. Four minutes when a smart woman leaves her phone on the counter because she feels safe inside her own home.That was what trust did. It made people careless.The next morning, the apartment woke up in its usual chaos. Lily was playing on the living room floor with Snow, eating cereal and spilling half of it on the rug. Jack was hunting for a sneaker. Sam was yelling that Jack had taken the tablet charger. Simon, near the windows, was talking low and irritated on the phone with London about numbers capable of buying half the building.Jamie walked through the kitchen with a folder in her hand."Did I leave the blue document in the office?""I think so," I said.She checked the time."Shit."She ran down the hallway.I wai

~ JAMIEWhen we got back to the apartment, the first thing I did was take a long shower.I stayed under the hot water long enough to wash the day off my body and, more importantly, clear my head. When I got out, I put on something comfortable, tied my still-damp hair back, and went down to the kitchen determined to do something perfectly normal.Cook.It seemed like a much better idea before I started.By six forty, there was a pot on the stove, another in the sink, way too much garlic on the cutting board, and I was staring at a piece of salmon like it had personally offended me.Sylvia had been cooking for Simon for years. She was efficient, discreet, and capable of producing dinner for ten without leaving a single spoon out of place.I had decided, for some reason, that I wanted to cook.Maybe because that apartment was starting to feel like my home too.Maybe because I wanted to do something ordinary.Not have someone else handle it.Just make dinner.The elevator door

~ JAMIE"I bought it recently.""You bought an entire townhouse in Manhattan and didn't think that was worth mentioning?""I was waiting for the right moment.""And this is the right moment?"His gaze dropped to my mouth."Still deciding."The silence shifted.Simon unbuckled his seatbelt.I should've asked about square footage, investment, or anything else rational.Instead, I unbuckled mine too.He leaned over the console and kissed me.It wasn't a polite kiss.It was the kind of kiss that carried the rest of the morning, the car, his fingers inside me, and two months that suddenly felt like way too long.I grabbed his shirt."I thought you were going to show me the house.""I am.""When?"His mouth moved down to my neck."Eventually."I laughed, breathless.And this time I kissed him.When we pulled apart, my breathing was uneven and his tie was even more crooked.Simon rested his forehead against mine."Come on."He got out of the car.I followed.The se

~ JAMIESimon was waiting in the car when I came down from Hart Enterprises.I got in the passenger seat and barely set my bag at my feet before his hand landed on my thigh."Come here."He pulled me in by the back of my neck, kissed me slow and deep, and only then started the car."Now we can go."I smiled."Were you waiting for that?""All day."He squeezed my thigh and pulled into Manhattan traffic."Now you're all mine.""I started planning the wedding today," I said.The hand on my leg stopped.He turned his head immediately."You started?"The satisfaction in his voice made me laugh."Don't make that face."He smiled, and his thumb started moving again over my knee."What'd you look at?""Venues. And I found out that getting married in New York requires planning, patience, and probably a deal with the devil.""I can handle the last two.""You don't have patience.""Then I'll take the devil."I laughed, and Simon squeezed my thigh."Count me in."I turned
