Fake Dating My Ex’s Boss

Seventeen

Sienna’s POV

I was so close to losing it, he had reduced the distance between us once again, tracing my skin with his fingers. None of us exchanged words, we just sat in silence, the tension thickening by the second.

“Birdie” He whispered, his voice thick. Right now all I could think about was how much I wanted his lips on my skin, this is wrong but I don’t want to care, only his hands were getting me this riled up.

“Why exactly did you come here, Birdie?” He asked, his voice ragged. As I processed his words, it hit me….

“f**k you, Julian” I spat, pushing myself up from his lap, his hands dropping from my waist. He is playing with me as usual, how stupid could I have been?

“It doesn’t seem like you would mind a few seconds ago” He smirked, my earlier mood was back and he is definitely not getting away with this.

“You are sick”. I put a safe distance between us before continuing, “ You broke one of the rules and we are barely one week in” I stated, folding my arms across my chest.

“I broke a rule?” He asked, looking utterly confused.

“Don’t play dumb with me Thorne”

“I have no idea what you are talking about” He shrugged, crossing his legs. f*****g liar.

“Rule number five, Julian ... you are supposed to stay out of my personal life and that includes my job” I shot all the anger from earlier hitting me all at once, he does something like this and still has the audacity to play dumb.

“Okay, and how did I break it?” He blinked at me, shrugging his shoulders like I wasn’t making any sense.

“You ass hole, why the f**k did you have me transferred. Why would you even think I would ever want to work with you?” I am done playing his stupid game.

“First of all, no need to act all angry when I know you are not, you want this, and two I didn’t break any rule”

“You have definitely lost it” I groaned angrily, what the f**k is with this man?

“Well, I am sure you don’t understand so let me clear the air, Oaklyn Marketing Group officially belongs to me now and as the new CEO I am allowed to hire, fire, or transfer anyone I want” He smirked, you have got to be kidding me.

“What the f**k do you mean you are now the CEO, how? Why?.... Is this how you go around buying companies?” I asked in disbelief.

“If I needed to, I would. It is a simple business, Birdie, no need to get all emotional”

“No need to get all emotional? Really Julian?” I spat angrily. I can’t deal with this right now, I am feeling too much to handle this, so much for a Monday.

“You know what, Julian, I will not fuel whatever trash you have going on, you better undo whatever you have done” I warned before grabbing my purse and storming out. f**k him, who the f**k does he even think he is? Just because he has money, he thinks he can just remove me from where I have been for years, if he thinks I would go down without a fight then he definitely has another thing coming his way.

Julian’s POV

I think I may have done a little too much…

It’s almost 3pm and Sienna isn’t replying to my messages, she isn’t taking any of my calls either. She didn’t go back to her workplace, and unfortunately, I don’t know where she lives. I should have insisted on dropping her off that night.

“Mag” I called out as she picked up.

“Julian, what’s wrong?” She asked, her voice filled with concern, Margot Lane and always worrying about the little things when it comes to me.

“Nothing much, Mag. I really need your help real quick” I answered.

“I knew it, you usually don’t call at this time”. Well, that hurts…

“Come on, Mags it is nothing like that” I defended.

“Oh I know, I am just saying you should be busy with work now, you should know I don’t take such things to heart” She laughed but it didn't make me feel any better.

“Doesn’t seem like it to me” I murmured.

“Oh please, don’t mind me. What can I help you with?”

“Uhm, I was wondering if you had an idea where Sienna lives?” I asked, dropping my voice as I spoke, what type of boyfriend doesn’t know where his girlfriend lives.

“You have got to be joking, Julian. You don’t know where she lives and she is your girlfriend?” Mags gasped in disbelief.

“I know how it sounds, Mags, but she didn’t want me to drop her off the first night and every other time. She keeps acting like it is some secret” I lied.

To my greatest surprise, she burst out in laughter, “Well that totally sounds like something a woman can do just to keep playing hard to get”. Phew, that did the trick.

“You should have just started with that, I would forward you her address right away, make sure you go with some flowers,” She said excitedly, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes, if only she knew.

My phone pinged the next minute, my eyes scanning the message.

245 West 163rd Street, Apt 4B

New York, NY 10032.

For a woman who loves to go after the rich and mighty she lives in the middle-class side of the city, how fun, guess she knows how to cover her tracks better than I thought.

Well Sienna, time to pay you a little visit, you don’t get to go silent on me and not expect a reaction.
