I continued working on my list.
Find a fake boyfriend. Doesn’t need to be a real one. And also, NOT
HIM.
Surely, I had other options. Not the escort though. A quick Google search
had confirmed that Aaron had been right. Again. Apparently, I had been lied
to by Hollywood. New York seemed to be filled with men and women
offering a wide range of varied and different kinds of services that were not
limited to escorting.
I grimaced and then chewed harder on the pen. Not that I’d ever admit
that to Aaron. I’d rather give up chocolate for a full year than admit to Aaron
that he was right.
But I was desperate at this point. He had nailed that down too. I needed to
find someone who would pretend to be in a serious, committed relationship
with me in front of my whole family. And that didn’t only include the
wedding day, but also the two days of celebratory events that preceded that.
Which meant, I was screwed. I was—

I dropped my pen on the table and cleared my throat. “Yes, here.” I tried
to reinsert myself in the conversation. “Listening. I’m listening.”
“Isn’t that what someone who wasn’t listening would say?”
My gaze shot across the room, meeting a pair of blue eyes on the verge of
showing amusement if the man behind them was capable of human emotions.
I straightened my back and turned a page of my planner. “I was writing
down something for a call I have with a client later and lost track of the
conversation,” I lied. “Something important.”
Aaron hummed, nodding his head.
Thankfully, he let it go.
“Let’s recap a little bit. Just so we are all clear on where we stand,” Kabir
offered in a gentle voice.
He’d be getting a muffin tomorrow.
“Thank you, Kabir.” I gave him a bright smile.
To which he blushed and reciprocated with a wobbly one.
I heard an impatient exhale coming from across the room. Now, he would
not be getting a muffin tomorrow. Or ever.
“So,” Kabir finally said, “Jeff wanted to attend today’s meeting to tell
you personally, but you know how busy the schedule of a head of division is.
