Lara Narrating...
It's been exactly a week since I arrived in Italy, today I was called for an interview at the Bianchi company, if I get hired I can work with my friend, I hope everything goes well today.
I get out of bed and go straight to the bathroom, take a shower and get ready for the interview, Vitoria was waiting for me and we were already almost late so we didn't have coffee.
We stopped at a coffee shop and got two coffees, we were addicted to coffee. We arrived at the company and Vitoria takes me where the interview would be and leaves me there alone as she had to go to work, there were several girls.
I was talking to a girl who was there to interview to be a secretary, another who was there to work in accounting, each girl was there to interview to work on something different.
When I am called, I enter the room and see Bryan and another man I don't know talking.
"Bryan you have to get out of my apartment, if my father and my mother go there looking for you I will kill you" The man was saying very angrily, when Bryan was about to answer.
"Excuse me," I speak getting their attention "I came here for an interview, they told me to come into this room."
"Remind me to fire that incompetent woman, I already said that someone should only be sent in after you left" He speaks to Bryan ignoring me.
"Relax brother, you're a friend of the blonde, right?" Bryan asks me.
"Yes, Mr. Bianchi" I answer, the other man was looking at my resume.
"Lara Sinclair" Says the other man and I look at him who was still looking at my resume and Bryan on his cell phone, the man continues speaking "Brazilian, has a great recommendation, worked in a small but good company. Look Lara, I'm going to give you this opportunity to work at my company, I'm Enzo Bianchi. You can start working after lunch, I'll ask someone from marketing to show you everything and at the end of the day you can stop by my office so we can talk more" I stare at him in disbelief that he hired me like that, without even asking questions, I thank him for the opportunity and go find Vitoria to tell her the news and have lunch with her since I was starving.
Enzo narrating...
My mom and dad were driving me crazy, a picture of me with a redhead I met at a club came out in a magazine the other day, I don't even remember her name and it drove my parents totally crazy, my dad's party is coming up and there's going to be a lot of very important people there, I need to get a fake girlfriend so they get off my back, maybe some girls will even leave me alone too.
My parents are after Bryan and if they find out he's at my apartment they're going to bug me even more.
He could have stayed in a hotel, but my parents would quickly find out, so not having to check in anywhere, he keeps bugging me.
Today I didn't have the patience to interview some girls, a Brazilian girl walked into the room and once again the secretary sent someone in without my permission.
After lunch in my office, my parents arrive entering my office and as always already talking in my head.
"Son, I saw the Vintchezo's daughter today and she's beautiful, I'll introduce her to you at the party and maybe you guys will hit it off" My mother says without pausing for breath, little did she know that I ate the Vintchezo's daughter whenever I wanted, Rachel Vintchezo had a crush on me, but she was too clingy and that annoys me.
"I already have a date" I tell them who look at me with a shocked look.
"Who?" asks my father quite curiously.
"You will meet her at the party" I say
"Son, where is your brother? I haven't seen him since he got back from his trip, he hasn't even come to visit us" My mother asks.
I wanted to turn Bryan in but I felt sorry for him, no one deserves to be targeted by my parents when it comes to serious relationships.
"He went traveling again, he should be back tomorrow" I lie.
My parents seem to swallow the lie, they stand there making small talk and then they leave. The day takes forever to pass and Bryan is in my office all day distracting me, he is extremely annoying.
When Lara Sinclair and Vitoria Antonelli arrive at my office I look at the two of them and only then do I realize the extent of Lara's beauty, which leaves me delighted. She would be perfect to play the role of my girlfriend, she would be perfect for me to do so many other things with her.
Lara Narrating...
A super arrogant girl showed me where I would be working, she put me in a group that was working on a project, a group of 5 people; Ryan; Simone; Leo; Petra and me.
After a very long day, I meet up with Vitoria and ask her to take me to Mr. Bianchi's office, and we were on our way there, when we get there I knock on the door and soon Bryan opens it and when he sees Vitoria he smiles.
"Come in girls" He says making way for the two of us to enter, I go to Mr. Enzo Bianchi who was sitting at his desk staring at me.
"Brother wait outside with Ms. Antonelli please, I want to talk to Ms. Sinclair in private" He says looking at me.
Bryan and Vitoria leave the room and then I look at Enzo waiting for him to start talking, and then he begins.
"Ms. Sinclair I wanted to make you a proposal, it's a bit strange but I hope you understand. I don't have a very good name in the media and my father thinks that if I continue with the 'womanizer' reputation it could affect the company, I wanted someone to pretend to be my girlfriend for a while just to be at peace with them and clear up that reputation, then end it all, I don't know why but I think you would be perfect for this" He says looking directly into my eyes.
I was paying close attention to his plan, I just didn't understand where I would fit in and then I interrupt him.
"Excuse me, sir, but what do I have to do with all this?" I ask.
"I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend, we can make a contract and I'll pay you whatever you want" He answers me as naturally as can be.
I am immediately incredulous, who does this man think I am? And who does he think he is? Does he think he can buy me like that? Before I can answer he continues.
"Think about it and then let me know, just don't take too long. Please don't mention this to anyone, as you can imagine it's a confidential matter" He says.
I didn't answer him, I just said goodbye and left his office, Vitoria and I went home and when we got there of course I told her everything.
"Are you going to accept?" She asks and I look at her.
"Of course not, are you crazy?" I say incredulously.
"Girl, I'd accept even for free, for pay then, and I'd use the money to buy a house and get out of rent" She says jokingly.
I become pensive and soon we change the subject.
"What did you talk about with Bryan outside the room?" I ask.
"Nothing, he got a call, asked me out on a romantic dinner which I declined and then he left" she replies.
We decided to go to a restaurant to eat out tonight.
We arrived at a very fancy restaurant, Vitoria said that today she wanted to eat somewhere different so we went to this restaurant.
At the restaurant we sat at a table in the corner, and we were distracted talking when someone sat at our table
"Hi Lara, hi blondie" Bryan wouldn't stop hitting on Vitoria, I guess it's become routine for him.
"Hi Bryan" we answer together "What are you doing here?" Vitoria asks.
"Enzo and I came to have dinner, can we join you?" He asks staring at Vitoria who was embarrassed in his presence.
"I don't think that would be appropriate Bryan, we are your employees and it would look bad for both of us if anyone saw" Vitoria replies.
And I agree with her but when I see that Greek god Enzo coming towards us I speak without thinking:
"Don't be silly, friend, we're just colleagues, right Bryan? Make yourselves comfortable" I say taking my eyes off Enzo.
Vitoria looks at me with blood in her eyes and I just ignore her.
"Hi girls, Bryan let's go to our table!" Enzo speaks authoritatively, as always.
"No, the girls let us sit here with them" Bryan says without taking his eyes off Vitoria.
Enzo sits down at our table and soon a waiter comes over and takes our orders. Bryan, Vitoria, and I were talking, Enzo was silent on his cell phone the whole time. Suddenly he speaks taking me totally by surprise.
"Have you thought about that matter, Lara?" He asks.
I choke on the water I was drinking, Bryan totally ignores me and looks at his brother with a very confused look.
"What subject?" He asks quite confused.
"I thought about it, Mr. Bianchi" I answer embarrassed ignoring Bryan's question which is repeated once more.
"What subject?" He asks again, irritated, being ignored once again.
"So?" He asks me.
"What subject?" Bryan asks again, irritated, being ignored again.
"I accept, Mr. Bianchi" I answer.
Vitoria chokes at the same time, apologizing. Bryan was tight-lipped not knowing what it was about and when he was about to ask one more time the waiter shows up putting the food on the table, we all eat in silence and when we finish Bryan quickly pays the whole bill, before we say anything. We left the restaurant and Enzo offered us a ride.
"I'll take you home" He says once again authoritatively.
"No need Mr. Bianchi" I reply.
"Call me Enzo, you don't need to be so formal anymore" I smile and so does he and my God, what a smile this man has.
"I insist on taking you two home" Bryan says.
We finally accept the ride the boys so that Bryan would stop talking about the reasons for us not to go home alone. They take us home and of course Bryan was talking the whole time reasons for Vitoria to give him a chance.
When we got there, Enzo says goodbye to both of us and tells me to meet him at the company so we can both sign the contract. We both go home and the boys leave as soon as we enter the building where we live.
"What made you do such a crazy thing as to accept his proposal?" Vitoria says as soon as we enter.
"It's a good opportunity" I reply.
"Be prepared to have the whole company turn their backs on you, that's why I don't trust Bryan" she says.
"You may be right, but I'm not there to please anyone, I barely know those people, friend."
