Chapter 012
Akira's POV
"Who is that?" I asked, I don't think I know any female celebrity that looks like me none I have come across her but the truth is how can I come across her when the entertainment news where never my thing?
"Amelia Hart..." Vida said suddenly, and Catherine seconded her, I looked at them lost.
"Yeah, she had the same body curve as you, even your height is the same and her hair, I think yours is longer but they are the same color, why don't you leave them dropping, it will make you look more outstanding," Catherine said.
"I do sometimes, it's just that most time, I love to tie them because I hate undue attention, knowing that when you work in a bar, you should be very careful, so you don't attract some terrible individual." Not that I am trying to say that I am super attractive but I guess I am not all that bad.
"You know, you're kind of perfect for the boss."
"Perfect?" Vida and I asked almost at the same time
"Hey, slow down stop shouting, when I say, perfect, I mean you are straightforward, you are not like those pretentious assistants of his that he fired before you, you are, what you see is what you get, so I love you," Catherine said, placing her hand on her chest while smiling at me, I returned the same gesture towards her.
"And I love you too."
"Yuck! I hope I am not sharing the same space with potential lesbians." Vida said moving away from us.
"Silly?" Catherine and I said at the same time and then laughter erupted in the air.
After fitting the wears, all of them look perfect on me, we search for matching shoes; and handbags, including jewelry. I stretch out the black card to the sales representative.
"Your total was $350, 000, and here is my card, if you ever want to shop in the future." My eyes almost fell off my eye socket hearing what an outrageous amount, I had spent just in wears, I knew that Wolfie was going to kill me, I was about to stop the transaction when the sales representative said that it was successful and that it was nice doing business with me, and then my phone ring suddenly, this time, my heart palpitations weren't something that I could control, Mr. Wolfie was going to kill me. "Hello, Mr. Wolfie."
"What the fuck are you doing?" He barked at the other side of the phone, almost damaging my eardrums.
"What is it?" I asked acting innocent when my heart wasn't resting on my chest, I was dying silently.
"Just fucking stop buying whatever you are buying?" I rolled my eyes, he was still yelling.
"Oh please, do you have to shout? You could simply say that in a calm voice instead of shouting why are you getting mad, I was following your order nothing less." My words left Catherine and Vida shocked, anyone hearing my conversation would think I was talking to someone with whom we have a cordial relationship.
"Yes, I know I gave that order, but I didn't ask you to empty my account over just once shopping and the fucking thing is, you are not even special to me, you are not my wife." He snarled and scolded me almost at the same time.
"I didn't know that I was supposed to be special or your wife before I could empty your account, maybe I should be your..."
"Shut up." He growled before the line died off.
"Did he just growl like an animal?" My voice was more of a whisper, I shrugged my shoulder and moved my gaze to the package I had acquired, I smiled, and then laughter erupted from my throat, a peal of laughter filled the room, just as my naughty friend Vida also burst in laughter, Catherine just stood there looking at us.
I know she is aware of who I was talking to on the phone. Her expression was that of disbelief. We bought a lot of things and I saw that expression of shock on her face when I gave the card to the sales representative even after she had mentioned the outrageous amount that I just spent for just shopping and to think the card wasn't even mine.
I chuckled at her reactions, "Relax, even if he fired me, I could sell these things and make money from it. Let's go, let's me face my fate once and for all."

Logan's POV
"Fuck this woman," I screamed massaging my temple as the call ended, I have no idea that she was spending that much, I was in a meeting all through that I didn't notice the notification on time. I almost had a heart attack, seeing that outrageous amount left my account. "This woman will be the end of me. How could she fucking spend such an amount on shopping when she is not even my wife." I furrowed more and she was getting me irritated.
"This damn Woman." I curse when the door of my office suddenly opens.
"Breathing bad blood again because of that woman? What did she do this time?" Meredith asked with a teasing tone, I frowned at him. "C'mon, I know she is the only female that dare to rile you and get away with it, so tell me, what the heck did she do this time?"
"Can you imagine her spending my money on shopping?"
"But I remember you asked her to do that, she was just following orders."
"Following orders, I don't remember telling her to use $350, 000..."
"Gracious me!" He gasped for air. "Are you kidding me?"
"Do I look like I am fucking joking?" I throw my phone at him, his eyes dilated in surprise, as the notification appears in front of him. "Why do I feel that this woman is more of a nuisance than access?" I run my hand on my face in frustration. "All I wanted to is to fire her and sue her for fraud," I said in frustration but Meredith's gaze where focused on me and his eyes weren't leaving mine.
"What? You don't believe that I want to fire her and sue her for all this trouble that she has caused me. She is taking advantage of me."
He shrugged his shoulder and with a smug face he questioned my actions, the same way he questioned me when I first found out about the video of her proclaiming me as her boyfriend, although most people wouldn't recognize her as the girl in those pictures and video unless those who knew her personally, "you want my honest opinion and advice on this?"
"No!" I screamed almost immediately, "The last time you gave me a fucking advise, that is what brought us here."
"No, you have already decided after you found out that she lives with her stepmother and her sister who was leeching her, from her hard earn money and you decided to be the hero in her life and you said you could use her, that letting her pretend to be your girlfriend will make your mother stop sending those blind date to you. You should use this incident to your advantage and since Akira is desperate for funds, she will jump at it. The both of you could work together while helping each other, you will give her money while she pretends to be your girlfriend. No strings attached, no commitment, no nagging from your mother, and the best part is, she is not like those other girls who are interested in you, you will be safe. Those are your exact words, or is there something else that you are not telling me, about you wanting to keep her besides you," I shake my head.
"Then fucking fire..."
"I can't..." I growled almost before his words came to an end, he stared at me, lost, and my reaction left him confused. I wiped my face, as I shut my eyes.
"Tell me, Logan, tell me, the main reason you want to keep her."
