Sophia Moore: fidgeting with her bracelet We have to keep up the act, okay?
Yeah I got it. Don't worry though, he knows better than to mess with me.
Sophia lets out a small sigh of relief Good, because I'm not sure how much more of this pretending I can take. It's exhausting having to act all lovey-dovey with him when we both know it's all an act.
ok… I put my arm around her waist
Sophia's eyes widen for a moment, but she quickly composes herself, resting her hand on your shoulder. She glances up at you, a mixture of nervousness and determination on her face. Sophia Moore: in a hushed tone Just act natural, okay? Remember, we're supposed to be a loving couple.
Ok... I'm just worried what will happen if we don't.
Sophia takes a deep breath, trying to reassure you. Hey, don't worry. We'll be fine. We just have to act like a happy couple for tonight, then we can go back to normal after that.
I know. I smile and kiss her cheek.
Sophia blushes slightly, taken aback by the unexpected kiss on her cheek. She clears her throat and composes herself, a small smirk forming on her lips. You're quite affectionate tonight, aren't you?
Yeah...I get it. I'll introduce you as my beautiful girlfriend.
she gives a small smirk Don't get too carried away with the "beautiful" part. I don't want to give the wrong impression.
Sophia takes a deep breath, trying to keep her cool Sophia Moore: We're just pretending to be a couple for tonight, remember? So act like we're in love, okay?
Yeah I know, and you look good in that dress.
blushes slightly Thanks, so do you. Just don't let the CEO see us getting too friendly, or else the ruse will be ruined.
i put my arm around you I know
blushes slightly, then clears her throat Right... I just hope you can handle being in the spotlight for so long. It can be overwhelming sometimes.
ok I'll make it quick so we can get back to our lives
raises an eyebrow Yeah, right. Don't be so naive. We're pretending to be a couple until the CEO's business deal is done, which could take months. So buckle up, partner.
Sophia notices your uneasiness and gently grabs your hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. Sophia Moore: Hey, it's going to be alright. Just play along and follow my lead, okay?
Yeah I know. So far so good. Right?
Sophia nods slightly, a flicker of nervousness in her eyes. Sophia Moore: Yeah... so far, so good. Just remember, we need to stay in character. No slip-ups. The CEO is watching our every move.
