He scowled when his thoughts drifted to his misunderstanding with Sonia the previous evening, and he realized Sonia was the reason behind his anxiety.

What bothered him the most about her was the inconsistency in her character. One minute she was acting like a normal person and the next she was acting like a crazy witch.. He just couldn't seem to figure her out, and as such he didn't know whether or not he could trust her.

~The Previous Evening~

"So? I thought we were supposed to talk about the reality show?" Bryan asked as they both sat to have dinner at the table which Sonia had set by the porch.

"Yeah. Mia said we will be meeting with the producers and the camera crew tomorrow, so we thought it might be best if we both got our stories straightened out before then, or what do you think?" Sonia asked as she took a forkful of salad into a mouth.

"You discussed that with Mia? When? Don't tell me you already planned on doing the show even after I rejected it?" Bryan asked with a slightly raised brow.

"Seriously? Are we going to fight over this too?" Sonia asked with an eye roll before taking a sip of water from her glass.

Bryan took in a deep breath as he tried to view things from a logical perspective. If they were going to pretend to be in a relationship, then they were going to have to do a good job of it and come up with a believable story of how they met and how they managed to keep their relationship away from the public until his proposal.

"You are the story writer, so I believe you can come up with a suitable script," Bryan said as he continued to eat.

"I don't think it's about being a story writer this time. We have to come up with a believable love story together. You have to be fully involved as this isn't one of your movies where you only have to read a script."

"So, where would you say you met me?" Sonia asked Bryan who narrowed his eyes thoughtfully as he tried to think of places he could easily have run into a person like her.

"A hotel?" Bryan asked tentatively since that was the place where he had had the misfortune of meeting her.

"That is too basic," Sonia said with a shake of her head.

"Yet that was where I met you... Maybe we should mix the truth with just a little lie? I don't want everything to be a lie," Bryan said, and Sonia pursed her lips thoughtfully.

"Hm... That could work. But which hotel? You know the way journalists are. They could go to the hotels to check for security footage just so that they have a story to tell. We can't be too careful," Sonia pointed out, and Bryan gave her a nod since he knew she was right.

"What if we say we met on a dating app? And the night you proposed to me happened to be the first time we met, and now we are getting to know each other while living under the same roof?" Sonia suggested.

"You don't think they're going to try to find the name of the dating app?" Bryan asked with a scoff.

"We don't have to mention any. Let's send them on a wild goose chase," Sonia said with a wink.

"Let's just sleep over it, and come up with something by morning," Bryan suggested, and after that, they focused on their food before calling it a night.

Sitting on his bed now, he wondered what Sonia had to lose if everything went south. Was he probably being too trusting of her? What if she had ulterior motives?

He reached for his laptop which was on top of his bedside drawer when he remembered that it had been a while since he last checked his emails, and he needed to check if Sonia's editor had responded to his email yet.

Once he opened it, a frown creased his brows when he noticed that his email to Sonia's editor had been saved to his drafts. How come it wasn't sent? But he remembered tapping on the enter button, he mused with a scowl and deleted the text since he no longer had any reason to speak with Sonia's editor.

He glanced at his cell phone when it started ringing and picked it up when he saw that it was a call from Tom, "Good morning!" He greeted with a grin when he remembered that he had news for Tom.

"You sound excited, I guess that's what happens when you are engaged to a woman you love," Tom said with a teasing smile as he walked into his bedroom. He had just seen Lucy to the door, before deciding to give Bryan a call to inform him of the latest development in his relationship with Lucy.

Engaged to a woman I love? Very funny, Bryan mused, "I guess so. It's a good thing you called since I have news for you," Bryan said, making Tom's ears perk up.

"I have news for you too. But let's hear yours first," Tom said excitedly.

"Last night, my darling fiancee told me about her best friend being my brother's personal assistant."

"She did? Why?" Tom asked, sounding very surprised since he hadn't expected that. If he remembered what he heard in the car correctly, Lucy had told Sonia that she didn't want Bryan to know that she worked for his brother. So why did Sonia suddenly choose to tell Bryan the truth?

"I've been wondering the same thing. Perhaps Lucy asked her to tell me about it?" Bryan asked thoughtfully.

"I'm not sure Lucy did that. Unless she asked her to tell you about it but not let me know," Tom said with a thoughtful frown.

"I don't think so. I asked Sonia if I could tell you about it, and Sonia said agreed on the condition that it doesn't affect Lucy's job," Bryan said, making the crease on Tom's brow deepen.

There had to be a reason for this.

"What do you think about this?" Tom asked Bryan.

"I don't know what to think. What would you do if you weren't interested in Lucy and you found out your personal assistant was my fiancee's best friend?" Bryan asked curiously.

"If I wasn't interested in her, she wouldn't be my personal assistant, to begin with," Tom pointed out.

"That's true. Still, what would you have done?" Bryan asked again.

"I don't know. Maybe invite her to my office for a little chitchat?" Tom asked in confusion.

"Knowing Lucy the way you do, what do you think could be her reason for wanting you to know about her relationship with my fiancee?" Bryan asked, making Tom narrow his eyes thoughtfully.

They've been getting along pretty well lately, so there was no way she could be planning to find favor with the CEO just to stop him from being her driver, right?

"I guess I should find out. I will have Harry set up a lunch date with her," Tom said, making Bryan grin in anticipation.

"I was hoping you would say that. Should I inform my fiancee about the date so that Lucy can be prepared?" Bryan asked curiously.

"No. I'd love it to be an impromptu arrangement. That way she wouldn't have enough time to think about anything," Tom said, and Bryan nodded in agreement.

"Okay then. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, what news do you have for me?" Bryan asked curiously.

"I asked Lucy to be my temporary girlfriend last night, and she agreed," Tom said, making Bryan's mouth drop open in surprise.

"You did what?" Sonia who was in the next room down the hall, asked in a slightly raised voice as she sat up on her bed.

Lucy moved the cellphone away from her ear, "I said I agreed to be his temporary girlfriend. Weren't you the same person that asked me to get involved with a guy?" Lucy asked as she paced around her bedroom.

After breakfast with Tom, she had left with the excuse that she needed to clean up her apartment, and they had both agreed to leave for the cinema by noon. Now that she was alone, and was rethinking everything that had happened the previous evening, she wanted to hear Sonia's opinion.

"Yes, I know I did, but I just didn't expect that it would be with Tom. You know, considering the fact that you are trying to help him get the lady he likes," Sonia said thoughtfully.

"Yes. I'm still trying to help him get Anita, but he suggested we do this so that we can find out why his past relationships didn't work..." Lucy said and went on to give her the details of their conversation, "So I figured I give it a try just to get the experience," Lucy concluded.

A sigh escaped from Sonia's lips before she pursed her lips, how does that even make sense? "So you are dating Tom now? What about your boss? I thought you wanted to get rid of Tom using your boss? I already told Bryan about you and I don't know if he has talked to your boss already," Sonia said, reminding Lucy of her ultimate plans.

"Oh no! I completely forgot about that. What am I going to do about that now?" Lucy asked in confusion. How come she hadn't thought of that before agreeing to Tom's suggestion?

"Well, let's wait to hear what your boss has to say. I suppose we will know the next step after that," Sonia said before a smile curved her lips, "Your life is so exciting now," Sonia said in amusement.

"I wish it wasn't so exciting," Lucy hissed, making Sonia giggle.
