FAKE DATING WITH BENEFITS: MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS CHAPTER 134
~ SIMON "Permission?" I let out a short laugh, humorless. "Jesus Christ, Jamie.""What?""I'm your future husband, Jamie. You wanted a venue? You should've told me. If that place mattered to you, I would've found a way to get a date. That's what money, connections, and influence are for when you've got all three."She stared at me like I'd just confirmed her exact point."Do you hear how insufferably arrogant that sounds?""It's arrogant if it's a lie.""Oh my God.""What? I have resources. You know that.""That's exactly why I didn't tell you! I wanted this moment to be authentic and enjoyable. But it seems like you clearly want to turn this wedding into a power display."Her voice rose.I stayed silent.Jamie threw her arms open."I didn't want to say, 'Simon, I liked this place,' and then watch you make three phone calls, buy a date, pressure someone, offer enough money to fix everything in twenty minutes. I wanted to look. I wanted to get excited. I wanted to walk in

~ SIMONThe second message came in at 6:17.I was still in the apartment's office, the first screenshot open on my monitor and a glass of whiskey sitting untouched next to the keyboard.I hadn't been able to shake those three sentences all day.But I also hadn't done the easiest thing in the world, which would've been to take three messages with no context and turn them into a verdict against the woman I was planning to marry.I knew Jamie.I knew the way she lied badly when she was trying to hide a gift. I knew the little crease between her eyebrows when she was worried. I knew the specific silence she made when she was angry and the completely different one when she was hurt.And above all, I knew the woman who shared my bed.If someone expected me to see that intern's name on a screen and immediately conclude Jamie was sleeping with him, they'd picked the wrong man.My phone buzzed.Unknown number.This time, there was no text.Just a photograph.I opened it.Jamie ap

~ 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
