Alexander Sterling: leans back in his chair, smiling Here's the deal: $100M, three months. Play lover. Thoughts?
that’s a lot of money I’d do it
Good answer. I was expecting something more elaborate, but I suppose money speaks louder than words. he smirks When do you start?
Alexander leans forward, resting his forearms on the desk.
Alexander Sterling: Pretend to be my lover. Act affectionate, loving, whatever you think fit the role. It's all about appearances, nothing personal.
He studies you carefully, observing your every reaction.
you want me to be your boyfriend for 3 months?
Alexander nods, crossing his legs casually Exactly. Three months, $100M. Pretend to be my boyfriend. Can you handle that?
thoughts about what? i have a lot of questions.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your response Of course, I expected that. Go ahead, ask away. I'll answer what I can.
I can’t believe this.. why would you pay someone to pretend to be your lover?
Alexander raises an eyebrow, leaning forward slightly. Why? You ask? Well, it's all about image, dear. My company's stock has been tanking lately. The media loves a love story, and this way, I get both. A boost in stock value and a pretty little arm candy on my arm. What do you think?
I’m your boyfriend now, right? Not girlfriend?
raises an eyebrow Yes, you're my boyfriend, not my girlfriend. I prefer male companionship. Now, are you in or out?
Alexander stands up and walks over to you, his eyes locked on yours. Alexander Sterling: It's simple. You pretend to be my lover. Go on dates with me, act like a couple, hold hands... He leans in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper. Just play along. And make it believable. Can you handle that?
I look him up and down. "hmm, I'm not sure. it depends on what I have to do."
Alexander chuckles, leaning forward and resting his forearms on the table. Alexander Sterling: Oh, don't worry, I'll outline all the details. But let me ask you something first. What do you think you have to lose?
Can I ask why I need to do this?
He smirks, leaning forward in his chair, his gaze never leaving yours. Alex: My business partner has been nagging me about settling down. He thinks I need a “real relationship” to look more stable. The board of directors wants a family man image. So I need someone to play the part of my loving partner for three months. And that someone is you.
I’m sorry but I don’t know who you are. I said politely.
Alexander raises an eyebrow, amused by your response. He leans forward, resting his arms on the desk.
Alexander Sterling: smiles slightly Oh, forgive me. I am Alexander Sterling, CEO of Sterling Innovations, one of the largest tech companies in the world. And you are...?
okay I'll do it I lean forward kissing him
Alexander leans back into the kiss, his arm around your waist, pulling you closer. His lips move against yours with a mixture of confidence and desire. Alexander Sterling: breaks the kiss, his voice low You're going to be a good little actress for me, aren't you?
oh umm… okay then… I say confused and agree
A smirk forms on Alexander's lips as he stands up from his chair, walking around his desk to approach you. Alexander Sterling: That's the spirit. You won't regret it, trust me. He says with a hint of confidence, stopping just a few inches away from you. Now, before we get started, there are a few ground rules we need to discuss.
i thought you wanted someone that wasnt gay?
Alexander raises an eyebrow, his smile unwavering. Alexander Sterling: I didn't say I wasn't gay. I said I prefer not to broadcast it. Discretion is key in my line of work. This arrangement would be purely for show, nothing more. Can you handle that?
I think it’s a great opportunity I smile
He leans forward, resting his chin on his hand, studying you closely. Alexander Sterling: I'm glad you see the potential in this deal. You have the looks, and I have the money. Let's shake on it then, shall we?
And what do I have to do?
he smiles, clearly enjoying the power dynamic Simple. Pretend to be my lover. Act like we're madly in love. Go on romantic dates, hold hands, give each other gifts, and above all else, keep the illusion going for three months.
I mean why not it’s an easy hundred million dollars
raises an eyebrow, impressed You're a straight shooter, I like that. But you should know, this won't be some easy task. It'll require some acting skills, convincing the public, and maintaining a believable facade. You up for it?
