THE BILLIONAIRE'S HIRED GIRLFRIEND

AsherI took a day off from work today, to sort out my current problem.It took me a really long time before I could finally sleep off but unfortunately, I couldn’t complete my eight hour sleep.My mother had called me early today to remind me of our deal. She was truly hell bent on making my life a living hell.“Remember Asher, you either find a suitable girlfriend, or I get one for you.” Was her threat before she hung up on me.What the hell was she expecting me to do?Go girlfriend hunting?Well, if I would settle to doing that, there’s one person that could help with that.I lazily got out of bed and picked up my phone, searching for Sebastian’s number.While I was awake last night, I thought of the possible way to avoid my mother’s wrath, as well as her plans for me.There is no way in hell, I’m letting her pick a girlfriend for me from one of the daughters of her numerous lousy friends.I wonder how she copes with all of them.After many rings, Sebastian finally picked his phone

OliviaI already applied to seven different companies hiring secretaries.I know the vacancy I was applying for wasn’t worth my standard of education, but I am more likely to not get the job if I applied for something better.Before dad came home, I took my bath and changed into my pencil black skirt and white shirt.Another day as a waitress in that stupid bar.When would it ever end?I packed my hair into a tight pony tail before heading out. It might take a while before I got responses from the companies I applied for. Till then, I have to retain the only job I have left.Hopefully, I wouldn’t be hitting anyone tonight and running off with just an apron.AsherSebastian didn’t support my plan, I knew that but he could do nothing.No one could. I had made up my mind already.I wasn’t one to spend time in clubs nor coffee shops. Most of my time was spent at the office, working while the remaining fraction; at my house, still working.Whenever I felt needy, I just called on one of my

OiviaMy hands dropped to my side and I didn’t know when a tear escaped my eye.The Bank?Was back?“What?!” I said in a barely whispering tone.“I….i got a message this evening Olivia. I had just returned from work. I had thought the message was from you. Probably, you were trying to tell me you were going to come home later than usual tonight and I shouldn’t stand out in the cold. B…..b..but when I checked, it was from the bank Olivia.” My father explained, his shoulders heaving as he cried.I raked my hair with my hands, breathing erratically.“But what do they want?...a..and didn’t we already pay up our loan?” “We didn’t pay the interest Olivia?” My dad reminded me, a tear sliding down his face.“But they can’t hold us for that anymore?!” I found myself yelling.“Olivia…” My father tried to calm me down.“No! They can’t possibly do this to us! The bank manager had let us go without paying the interest. Dad, I remember everything. That day, I was the one who had gone to deposit th

Olivia “Took you long enough.” I heard him say from the other end of the phone. I’m sure he must be wearing a triumphant smirk right now. “Why me?” I asked with a cracked voice. Tears were already rolling down my face. He was silent for a while before he answered. “That’s simply because I know you need the money.” He said, sounding unsure of himself. Seriously? He was making such a stupid offer because he wanted to give me a better life? What is it with this man? “So you think you can just impose on me because I don’t have the money you have?” I asked him, feeling angry. “I’ll pick you up later today, 4pm, sharp. Be ready.” He said, ignoring my question. “No!” I interjected almost immediately. I could imagine he had a frown on his face. “I mean, I would rather come to you.” I said to him. “Your dad, right? Trust me, I can relate.” He said, sounding frustrated. “What?” “Meet me at the bar you used to work.” He said before hanging up. “Used to?” Did he possibly use his

OliviaWhat?!He can't possibly be serious?I had just signed the contract today!Oh no!Where could he possibly want to take me to?What do I even tell Dad? " Olivia? " I heard my name and jerked?My hands slipped from the dining table. Losing my balance, I twirled before falling to the floor, with my butt." Hey! Are you okay? I didn't mean to startle you." My dad said and rushed to me.He dropped the plates he was holding on the table before crouching to where I was, on the floor." It's fine dad, I'm not so hurt anyway." I said, taking his hand and lifting myself up." Are you sure?" He asked, looking at me worriedly.I chuckled and squeezed his hand." I'm fine dad, for real." He nodded before pulling out a chair for me.My father was such a gentleman. My mother must have really enjoyed her marriage with him before her death." You returned pretty quick." My dad said once we had settled down for dinner."Hmm?" I mumbled in my cup." The bar? You said you were going there fo fill
