All Chapters of FAKE DATING WITH BENEFITS: MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

~ JAMIEThe next morning, I found Simon in the kitchen with a spatula in one hand and his phone propped against the coffee maker.Kelly's voice came through the speaker while he tried to flip an omelet without taking his eyes off Lily, who was pouring a criminal amount of syrup over her pancakes.“I interviewed the new nanny yesterday afternoon,” Kelly said. “She seemed great. Excellent résumé, her references got back to me right away, and she was very polite. She should be arriving any minute.”Simon slid the omelet onto Jack's plate.“Perfect. Thanks, Kelly.”“Did you just thank me before eight in the morning, boss?”“Don't get used to it.”“Too late. I'm documenting the date.”He ended the call and looked up at me.“Coffee?”“Please.”“The magic word. I like it.”“I'm a polite houseguest.”The intercom buzzed before Simon could answer. He pressed the button on the panel beside the refrigerator.“Mr. Hart,” the doorman said. “Miss Chloe Bennett is here. She says she's

~ JAMIEFriday morning, I came downstairs with my suitcase and found Jack, Sam, and Lily lined up in front of the elevator like a tiny farewell committee. Jack was trying hard to look unaffected. Sam was holding a folded sheet of paper. Lily was still in her pajamas, wearing two different socks.“Are you really going?” she asked.“For three nights,” I said, crouching down to hug her. “By the time you wake up Monday, we’ll almost be home.”“Almost home isn’t home.”“You hear that, counselor?” Simon said behind me. “Legally sound argument.”I smiled at Lily.Simon pulled out his phone and checked the time. Dark pants, crisp white shirt, jacket folded over one arm. He looked ready to close a nine-figure deal. My skin was still very much aware of the decidedly unprofessional consequences of the night before.Lily ran to him. Simon scooped her up, and some of that cocky confidence slipped from his face when she wrapped both arms around his neck.“I’m gonna miss you.”“I’m gonna m

~ JAMIELily appeared on the screen with dry cheeks and a crooked tiara.“Uncle Simon! Look, Chloe braided my hair.”Simon glanced at me before answering.“It looks beautiful, sweetheart. Were you crying?”“I cried because I spilled milk on my dress.”“You’re not scared I won’t come back, are you?” he asked carefully.Lily frowned.“No. You promised presents.”Chloe quickly appeared behind her.“She calmed down as soon as she heard you were calling. I think I misunderstood why she was upset.”“Okay,” Simon said. “Next time, text first. If it’s urgent, tell me exactly what happened.”Chloe’s smile never faltered.“Of course. Sorry for interrupting.”“You didn’t interrupt,” I said, even though she absolutely had. “Take care of them.”“I will, Jamie.”She said my name sweetly. When the call ended, Simon kept staring at the dark screen.“Weird,” he murmured.“First day.”“You already said that.”“Because it’s still true.”“And because you don’t want to admit you don’t

~ JAMIEA second light rose over the ocean, silent. Then another. And another.They weren't fireworks. They were golden points, small as fireflies, climbing in perfect formation and lining up against the dark sky like someone was drawing with stars. I stood frozen, breath caught, feeling my heart slam against my ribs."Simon... what is that?"He didn't answer. Just stood beside me, his hand finding mine, his eyes locked on the sky. The drones started to move, and the first image took shape. A terrace. A balcony of a high-rise, identical to the one at his office, with two figures made of light standing side by side. One of them, taller, had that confident posture. The other, smaller, with a bun in her hair. Then a third point of light appeared — a miniature helicopter landing on the drawn helipad, and the smaller figure walked away, leaving the tall one alone."It's you," I whispered, my voice breaking. "And me."The show kept going. The drones regrouped, and the scene changed.

~ JAMIEI woke up to Simon sitting on the edge of the bed, shirtless, answering messages that were already coming in about the Honolulu deal."What do you think about me posting our photos on Instagram?" he asked.I blinked, confused."You didn't post anything, did you?"He turned the screen to show me the empty Instagram page."Nothing. Your family first.""Thank you.""Can I put on a shirt before I talk to my mother-in-law on video?""That would be civilized."My mom cried. My dad congratulated us for the second time. My sister wanted to see the ring from every angle. When I finally hung up, the unease about the post was still there, but it wasn't big enough to hide the joy.We got back to New York Sunday night. The kids almost knocked Simon over in the elevator. Lily came straight for my hand."Can I touch it?""Carefully."Chloe hung back a few steps with a strange look on her face. She was wearing jeans and a simple sweater. Her smile was flawless."Congratulations
