leans closer to you But when we're alone... I want you to be my good little doll.
Yes of course. I'm very good at acting I smile sweetly at him
He looks at your smile skeptically but is slightly amused.
You better be good at acting. I don't want anyone to suspect that this is just an act.
I give him my most innocent look Yes, I promise. I'll do whatever it takes to make this work.
smiles slightly You're quite good at acting. I'll give you that.
But remember, this is a business deal first and foremost. Don't forget your place in this arrangement.
I don't know, we're only pretending to be married, so why would I need to maintain an act
smiles "Well, we're going to be spending a lot of time together. I don't want you to act like my employee or a stranger when we're alone at home."
whispers back Yes, I can. I'll be the perfect wife.
whispers back Then let's begin.
He opens the door and leads you into a luxurious penthouse, which is decorated with modern Japanese art and expensive furniture.
She looked at him confused "Yeah...why?"
He sighs and looks down at the ground
I'm just... a little worried. You're young and attractive, I'm old and... well, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to pretend to be my wife for an entire year.
nods, a little bit impressed That's good. Because the press will be watching us closely.
Just make sure to act like a perfect, obedient wife in public.
And... don't forget the private stuff we agreed on too.
smiles confidently I've got this under control. Just show me around, boss.
nods and starts walking
Alright then. Follow me.
The penthouse has 3 floors. The first floor is the living room, kitchen, dining area, and bathroom. The second floor is the bedroom, study room, and walk-in closet. The third floor is the rooftop garden.
The penthouse has modern decor with minimalist design elements. Everything looks clean and tidy.
nods, satisfied Good. Then you understand that our relationship will be purely professional and business-like. I am a busy man with many important matters to attend to, so we won't have much time together.
I will do my best. She says sweetly
nods Good, good.
He glances at his watch and stands up from the couch.
I have a meeting with clients at 3pm, so I need to leave in an hour and won't be back until late tonight.
