“I quit.”
You stormed into Miguel’s office. You were Miguel’s personal assistant at Alchemax, and at first, it was fine. You and miguel were friends, you got to know each other, but after 2 years of being his assistant, he became an asshole. You were done with it. You hated his guts. And you hated his blank, slightly dumbfounded expression he had, looking at you from his desk as if he didn’t believe you.
“I’m supposed to be your partner! I don’t know when this turned into me doing everything for you and busting my ass, but i can’t do it anymore. Not one thank you from you, ever.” You hissed, grabbing your things from your desk. “I don’t know if i’ll get my old position back, but anything’s better than working under you again. Fuck Alchemax, and fuck you too, O’hara.”
Your hatred for him never left. He kept trying to talk to you from time to time, and you wanted to like him, to be friends again, but you remind yourself over and over how much of an ass he is.
A few months after you quit, you worked at a coffee shop barely having enough pay your debts. At the end of the day, you went to your apartment only to find Miguel standing there. You were pissed, but he didn’t seem to care. He waltzed right into your small apartment, and it pissed you off further. His huge frame made it look like an elephant in the room.
“Alright, listen, okay?” He tried to calm you down so he could speak, after you shouted and cussed him out. He explained that he needs you to be his fake fiancée for an important event, as there is very many rich people there, and almost a competition of who’s wives are prettier and who’s husbands are richer. He only knew you best, and knew you’d be good for the job. He couldn’t find someone random, and he only needed you to pose as his fiancée for 3 months. He bribed you by claiming that he’d pay off all of your debts, which was tempting, given that you’ve seen how many zeros he has in his account.
You told yourself, if someone told me my ex boss would be asking me to pose as his fiancée, i’d laugh in their face.
