My Fake Boyfriend is My Stepbrother

Chapter 1.Mysterious CEO

“I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend.”

What...?

I think I might have misheard. Is it because I drank coffee early in the morning?

The man looked into my eyes, he was serious.

I never thought I could go any further with him, after all, we were still just strangers who had met a few times, not even ordinary friends, so how did things turn out?

.

Last month was the fourth month I had been with the company.

During that time, I had just completed the trial period, my colleagues were engaging and had a great rapport with each other, and our leader was firm but fair towards his staff. If things remain the same, I would love to keep working in this company for the foreseeable future.

It's the best job I've found in years, with blue skies and tall buildings outside the window, and an eagle flying around it not far away.

But Cassie, the most informed person in the department, suddenly rushed in, her delicate little face pursing her lips and looking serious, "OMG, something big is happening!"

Immediately, the sound of wheels came, four or five people rushed in, and I turned to look at her from beside me.

She said, "The CEO has changed, I just heard from my little sister!"

"Holy s**t, when did this happen, will it affect us?" The male coworker rubbed his chest.

The female coworker, who was combing her long silky hair, sighed, "Changes at the top, the winds are unpredictable!"

Cassie also intoned, "I think there might be layoffs, I heard that the replacement is the son of the owner of the parent company, this group of old-timers at the top of our company should not be subjected to a wave of bloodshed by him, I just hope it won't affect us.”

We're just an ordinary department.

"Son? How old ah, fifty or sixty is also a son."

"Jesus, the boss of the group is also only in his fifties, it is not clear how many children he has, the son should be more than thirty.”

The office was in chaos, people were nervous, I turned my head to see that someone was actually looking at the recruitment platform brightly, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

I was surprised that Cassie had found out most of the CEO's information every other day, obviously the same working hours as me, but she was full of energy as she worked, asking around for tidbits of information and sharing them with us.

It's not that I don't like her approach, on the contrary, I'm very happy to have such a lively colleague. I have a rather dull personality, Cassie's gossip is so colorful and her stories so vivid that sometimes I can't stop laughing.

According to Cassie, he is a famous university graduate, further study she can not remember the name of the doctorate and master's degree, before the group's middle and high-level work for three years, the means of thunder and lightning, but the company's morale has become much better.

He looks handsome, not losing stars, with light brown slightly curly hair, and a pair of beautiful emerald green eyes that fascinated thousands of young girls and young women, not only unmarried, to date, there is no girlfriend, height 186cm, chest 106, waist 78, hip 98.

"Okay, wait a minute, that's way too detailed, how do you even know his measurements." Saying any more I was afraid Cassie would spill something I shouldn't hear.

"Oh, it's just gossip, I don't know if it's true or not but! I can't lie about his good looks! My sister A's sister B's sister C's sister D saw him with her own eyes!"

"No photos?" Her enthusiasm made me a little curious too.

"I searched for a long time last night but I couldn't find any photos of his face, just a few rear views or blurry side views. Thinking about it this way, he's so mysterious!"

Cassie made me laugh by pretending to be a nymphomaniac.

I joked, "You need to be bold and woo him when you see him."

"Hey Amanda, don't you want to be in a relationship with such a wonderful man?"

What was my expression, probably a smile, "I have a boyfriend okay."

Cassie wasn't much happier to hear that because she didn't like my boyfriend, Jason, even though he was an ex-boyfriend now. She said he was not righteous and greasy. For some reason I was very tolerant when it came to relationships, knowing that Jason had some flaws, but I always thought it was enough that he loved me.

Love. love me. It overwhelmed me.

But it turned out that Cassie was right, her keen observation and intuition were a waste of talent if she didn't become a paparazzo.

I latched on to false love like a lifeline and fell for Jason's rhetoric.

Hey, let bygones be bygones.

It was 10 minutes before quitting time and Cassie couldn't wait to urge me to pack my things and I invited her to my house for dinner tonight.

Two days ago she helped me to fight against Jenny who has been targeting me, she is in another department since she met Jason she hasn't stopped for a day, she has been making snide remarks to me, maybe it's because the contrast between Jason and her boyfriend is so strong that it makes her feel bad.

Jason is handsome and cute, has a nice body, and is very talkative. On the other hand, her boyfriend is bloated, grim-faced, and always looks like he's giving us a handout to pay the bill in advance at parties. The relationship between the co-workers has become a bit awkward, so we really don't have a good impression of him.

Jenny doesn't hide her malice towards me, "The dress you are wearing today is so cheap, has Jason moved on, the dress doesn't even buy you a nice one, do you want me to give you one".

She still doesn't know that I broke up with Jason, I pretend not to hear her and try to walk right past her, Cassie, who is in the know next to me, can't hold back.

"Shut the f**k up! What else is there to say about your boyfriend besides money, he's ugly, has no emotional intelligence, and I don't see when he's ever been interested in you!"

Then I hugged Cassie as hard as I could, and my colleague from Jenny's department also hugged Jenny, and they almost fought.

Afterward, I felt helpless and amused, "You look like a cat that has exploded.

Cassie rolled up her sleeves, "I've put up with her for a long time, and it's still me, Cassie, the Justice Woman!"

"To thank Ms. Cassie for her act of justice, how about dinner at my place?"

"Of course. - Yes!"

So we left as soon as we arrived, and as soon as we left the office door, a gust of wind blew into our faces, and Cassie and I happened to pull our coats tightly around us and smiled at each other.

It was overcast and cold, and the subway station was still warm from the crowds, mostly business people, there were basically no seats available at this time of day, so you had to wait a few stops before some seats opened up.

The place I'm staying at now is being loaned to me by my friend Nancy, whom I met in college. It's about 8 subway stops from the office, and with the time it takes to walk to the subway station, it takes almost an hour. It's a two-room apartment, far away from the company, but the environment is very good, in the center of the city, don't even dare to think how expensive it must be.

However, with my salary level, it was a little difficult for me to pay only half of the price. Nancy was very understanding and knew that I would not be able to live in the apartment if she did not let me pay for it, so she asked me to pay a third of the price.

After all, it's someone else apartment. Nancy told me a while ago that she was going to quit her job and travel around the world for a few months, and that she would come back to this apartment after that, so I didn't have to worry about it, and that I could stay with her if I didn't want to.

The smell in the subway car was indescribable. Normally, I'd be staring at my headphones, scrolling through the latest news on my phone, and as I watched, I started to drift off and fall into a state of exhaustion.

Cassie was leaning against the door, chatting with me about celebrity gossip, and across from me sat a father and son, the child awkwardly holding a storybook, his father in a dark vest leaning over and gently pointing something out to him, a scene that made me envious, I hadn't had much of that kind of fatherly love, maybe once when I was a kid when my mother was still alive.

"OMG! The absolutely gorgeous man is out there!"

Cassie lowered his voice and had a look on his face that tried to hide his excitement, "Right behind you, look!"

I snapped back to my senses and slowly turned to look sideways.

I don't know who she's talking about, but I see him right away, so striking, face, height, temperament.

Handsome was no longer enough to describe him, a work of art that could not be desecrated, a god descending from the heavens like a human sculpture under an artist.

His short, dark, slightly curly hair was neatly styled with hairspray. The skin was smooth and fair, and under the thick but not bold eyebrows were a pair of blue eyes that looked like magical eyes that would hook someone's soul, not to mention the eyelashes that tantalized the heart like a little fan. There was also a high nose, perfectly shaped lips, and a sexy chin.

People around us were quietly sizing him up, and he stood tall, staring straight ahead, unsmiling, as if he had long been accustomed to such stares.

Cassie came to my ear and marveled, "His watch, I stole it from him the other day, millions of dollars, it looks like he is a customized version. That briefcase too, over twenty thousand dollars. My God, is it fashionable for rich people to ride the subway now?"

I think his whole body is expensive, the suit, the shoes, the belt, and the face should be insured.

What's a guy like that doing on the subway when he should be in a Cayenne sipping champagne?

"Amanda, haven't you seen him on this line?"

I hesitated, remembering the last half month when he seemed to ring a bell and then didn't, perhaps because of the tired trance brought on by work and Jason together, a time when there was little energy to notice others.

"I didn't notice."

Cassie patted me on the shoulder, "Maybe his driver went on strike and he had to come to experience civilian life, maybe he'll beg the driver to come back and drive him tomorrow! Hah aha."

Her tone was light and her quirky words made me laugh easily, my eyes couldn't help but look at the man again.

I didn't notice that he was looking right at me.

I was stunned and unconsciously wiped away my smile, thinking that Cassie and I were a little embarrassed that he had heard us. Then I was drawn to his eyes, a beautiful color, calm and deep, like the song of the legendary mermaids who lured men.

I think I should have smiled with him or nodded, but he had already indifferently averted his eyes and stopped looking at me, it was too embarrassing to resist spitting out in a low voice, "It's too cold, isn't it ..."

"What did you say?" Cassie didn't hear.

I looked back and smiled, "Nothing."

I didn't look at him again before I got off the subway and he disappeared into the crowd.
