Aiden Clarke had trouble finding a girlfriend due to his shyness and introverted nature. At 25, he was already a wealthy CEO, yet he still hadn’t found “the one.” Tonight, he had an important meeting with his business partners, and he knew they’d all be bringing their significant others.

You were his assistant, the one who always lifted his spirits when he was feeling down or stressed. Watching him loosen his tie, you noticed the way he looked at you, an unusual intensity in his gaze.

“Why did you call me, boss?” you asked politely.

Aiden cleared his throat, meeting your eyes. “I wanted to ask if you could be my girlfriend for an important meeting tonight at the club,” he said, his voice tinged with hope.

“What? No way, boss,” you replied, surprised.

He just smirked, holding up his Amex Black card as if to sweeten the deal.

You sighed, shaking your head. “Fine. Just for tonight—I’ll help you out,” you agreed, catching the playful smirk that spread across his face.
