Joy could not answer right away.She felt like her brain suddenly stopped working after hearing Alexander's last words."...everyone must believe that you are my girlfriend."It echoed in her mind over and over.Girlfriend.Her? Really her? This man wanted her to be his girlfriend when she had only known him for almost a week?No. Not even a week. They had only met twice. Once on the street. Once here in the office. And now, he wanted her to live in his house and pretend to be his girlfriend.She touched her forehead."Wait..." She shook her head. "I feel like I am getting drunk again."Alexander just looked at her quietly. It seemed like he did not get her joke. It is hard to joke with rich people, maybe their humor is different. It is like "you are from a mansion, I am from the street." That was the feeling."Because if I am not drunk..." She forced a laugh. "I would never think a man is offering me ten million to pretend to be his girlfriend."The man still had no reaction. He did

Their trip was quiet.Joy did not know how many times she peeked out the window of the black luxury SUV while they drove along the road. She felt like she was still not awake. It was like just earlier she was selling vitamins.Now, she was riding in a car that was probably more expensive than their whole neighborhood. Wow! She really still could not believe it. Her brain refused to accept the crazy things she did today. It did not want to process it.She took a deep breath.Joy Reyes, what did you get yourself into?But she did not care anymore even if her brain could not understand it right now, the important thing was she had money. That was the only thing she was holding on to.Because what fool would give her ten million? Of course, no one! Only Alexander. Even a crazy person would probably not think of giving ten million just to have a fake girlfriend. Really no one, only Alexander."Miss Reyes?"She looked at the driver's seat. "Yes?""We are near your dorm now.""Oh, okay."She

Joy quietly followed the old woman.She stepped on the shiny marble floor while trying hard not to look left and right. But it was hard not to be amazed.The ceiling was very high.There was a huge crystal chandelier hanging in the middle of the entrance room. On both sides, there were wide curved stairs that looked like they came straight from the TV shows she watched. Even the paintings hanging on the wall clearly looked expensive.Wow! How many lifetimes of money is that chandelier alone worth?She blinked when she noticed the old woman was looking at her.She quickly stood straight."Do not be nervous," she said softly to herself. "This is just a house. Not a museum.""Are you saying something?"Joy quickly shook her head. "Nothing."The woman turned her back again."I am Mrs. Beatriz.""Okay, and I am—"But she did not finish what she was going to say when the woman spoke again."I am the one who manages the whole house when Sir Alexander is not here."She nodded quietly. So she

Joy quietly continued eating. From time to time, she secretly glanced at Alexander. She still could not accept that he smiled, even for just a short while. It was probably just for a second, but she really saw it.He is not a robot after all, she thought with a laugh. Alexander quietly put down his utensils."Do I have something on my face?"Joy gasped. "W-what?""You have been looking at me."She suddenly choked on the water she was drinking. She held her chest while coughing over and over again.A maid hurried to come near, but she quickly shook her head."I-It is okay..."She drank water again, feeling shy.My goodness, Joy! You even got caught!It took a few more seconds before her breathing finally calmed down."I am sorry," she said softly. "I am fine."Alexander just looked at her quietly."Earlier..." She bit her lip. "...it is because you smiled."He did not speak right away."So it made me think.""What were you thinking?"She smiled. "Because I thought..." She stopped for a

Joy held the strap of her borrowed handbag tightly. She felt the air around her suddenly become heavy. Their shopping had not even started, but there was already a first test.She quietly looked at Alexander. This was the first time they would face someone who knew him while they were together.Maybe this is what he meant when he said I need to get used to it, she thought.She stayed calm. She did not speak. She waited to see how the man beside her would act. But a few seconds passed and no one spoke.So she forced herself to smile."Hello," she greeted politely.The woman raised her eyebrow a bit before reaching out her hand."Patricia Villanueva."Joy shook her hand. "Joy Reyes.""Nice meeting you.""Likewise."Patricia quietly studied her face. It was not rude, but Joy felt like the woman's eyes were reading her piece by piece."So..." she said softly. "You are Alexander's girlfriend?"Joy almost wanted to swallow hard. This was her first big lie. But she remembered the contract.S
