Book:The Billionaire Pretend Girlfriend Published:2024-6-2

Amelia yawns immensely while stretching her arms out. She tries turning to the other side of the bed , but struggle to as a large arm was holding onto her waist tightly which made her eyes wide open.
She was confused on what was happening around her as she felt her head was pounding her , the hangover from the alcohol from yesterday was affecting her.
“Oh my Gosh”She gasps when images of Liam on top flashes through her head. She immediately opens the bed sheet and gasps when she sees she is naked.
She struggles from his tight grip, she finally got free and quickly ran to the bathroom to take her bath leaving Liam still sleeping on the bed.
***
Liam twitch a little , as his hands search the bed for Amelia’s body but couldn’t feel anything making his eyes shut wide open. His eyes immensely scans the room for Amelia but found no glimpse of her around.
“Where the heck could she be”He groans rubbing his eyes before sitting up.
“Amelia!”He calls out for her but got no response as he searches the whole house for her.
“Could she have left me?”The sudden thought of Liam’s pierce through his heart as he mentally pray she didn’t.
He was about to call when his side eyes noticed a covered tray with a note attached to it. He immediately put his phone back in his pocket and went to the direction where the tray was placed.
Liam yank the note of the tray, as his eyes reads through the paper curiously.
*Off to work, I made breakfast already enjoy*
From Amelia.
A smile creeped onto his lips seeing the small wink emoji she draw at the bottom of the paper. He founds every little gestures she does cute.
What it is a little bit strange because he didn’t like having around before, he wonders what change all of sudden.
He opens the tray and saw scrambled eggs with bacon on the side and sat down to eat with memories of him and Amelia flashers through his head making him chuckle.

Liam arrived at his company and was greeted by the staff member.
“Good morning”He returns the greeting with a smile making them gasps. Liam ignored their shocked faces and head towards the main building.
“Boss must be really happy today”A girl declares standing with a file on her hand. Are co workers nodded agreeing with her.
“Yeah that’s right, he greeted us back this morning. Today is definitely gonna be a good day”A man added before walking away as everyone got back to work.
Claudia saw Liam approaching her direction and immediately rush towards him with a Starbucks on her hand.
“Good morning boss”She greets with a smile on her face while stretching out the Starbucks to him.
He looks at her as his eyes scans the Starbucks before collecting it from her.
“Thank you, oh and good morning Claudia”He flashes her a smile before leaving.
Claudia felt like her world was about to collapse as Liam’s calling her name and smiling at her replays in her mind making her squeal with joy.
“Gosh she still acts mad even on a Monday”Laila who just came remarks from behind.
“Oh Laila you are free to say whatever you want, cause I don’t care I’m happy today and nothing can ruin my day not even you”Claudia tells her with a little twirl before leaving.
“What’s wrong with her”Laila scoffs before crossing her arms and walking away.
***
“Good morning boss”Some staff said in unison and Liam returns the greeting with a smile making them blush while walking away.
Amelia froze when she heard Liam voice as her heart starts beating fast. She look up to see Liam approaching her direction and immediately went under the desk to avoid him noticing her.
“Good morning Amelia”A voice utters making Amelia look up to see Liam’s gaze on her. She flinch a little hitting her head a little on the counter.
“Are you okay?”He asked worried as he helps her stand up while holding onto her hand.
“I’m fine”She wiggles her hand from his looking around hoping no one’s eyes were on them.
“What’s wrong?”He questions her uncomfortable state.
“Ah nothing boss”She nervously stated with a little laugh trying to clear the tension settled between them.
“Oh okay, so I couldn’t find you when I woke up” Liam declares, making Amelia’s heart cut as she immediately covers his mouth and drags him to his office.
People look at their direction a bit curious on what was happening. She waves her hand up gesturing that everything was alright before pushing Liam into his office and locked the door behind her.
“What’s wrong?”He questions her weird behaviour.
“You said I left you”Amelia repeats his words from earlier.
“Yes, so?”He asked confused on what she was trying to say.
“People are gonna know we stay together, if you keep blabbering out”She pointed out.
“So what, let them know I don’t care”He frowns a little.
“I care, I don’t want people to start gossiping about me”She whines.
“I don’t know what’s the big deal, you are my girlfriend!”He yells out that girlfriend’s part, making her cover his mouth as her eyes scold him.
“Can you stop”She begs with her hand still on his mouth. Liam licks her palm making her yank her hand off from his mouth.
“Ew Liam”She gave him a disgusted look making him chuckle.
“So why did you run out on me today”He suddenly questions.
“I didn’t run out on you”She admits as her eyes scans the room avoiding his gaze.
Amelia yelps a little when Liam pulled her towards him. He pins her on his chair before squatting down to her level , she looks at the ceiling trying not to look at his piercing blue eyes that could make anybody melt.
“I don’t the way you just left”He tells her with his eyes on her watching her every reaction immensely.
“Well I have a work now, and I need to be early don’t wanna make a bad impression”She explains hoping he won’t talk about what happened between them.
“Hmm okay”He nods before standing up , she mentally breath out a sigh of relief and turns to leave.
“Do you remember what happened last night?”Liam question made Amelia halt in her tracks with her hand on the door knob. She turns to look at him confused.
“Did anything happen last night?”She asked pretending not to understand what he was saying.
“Nothing you can go now”He mutters feeling a bit sad that she doesn’t remember.
“Oh okay boss”She gives him a warm smile before opening the door and closed it behind her.
“I can’t believe she doesn’t remember what we did”Liam mutters.

It was already evening at the office, the room was silent as everybody were busy with their work. Mike broke the silent with a loud yawn while stretching his hands making everybody turn to look at him and Laila giving him the dead glare.
“Can’t you cover your mouth?”She reprimands his bad behaviour, making him turn to look at her.
“Why must you always be the one to poke your nose in my business”Mike tells her.
“Whatever”She scoffs.
“I’m hungry”Amelia whines from behind her desk making Laila turn to look at her.
“I know this famous restaurant where they sell hot pot and spicy noodles,”Laila excitedly tells her.
“Are you talking about Ching place?”Mike butts in earning a glare from Laila .
“Yes,”She said in between her teeth.
“I’m hungry too”Miss Cynthia utters breaking the dead glares Laila and Mike were exchanging.
“Well it’s settled, let’s all go to Ching’s!”Laila yells kicking her chair backwards making Amelia laugh as she does the same with her hands up in the air.
“Are you coming Claudia?”Mike asked Claudia who was scrolling through her phone. Everyone keeps quiet including Amelia anticipating her reply.
“Sorry I have better things to do. ”She rolls her eyes.
“But there will be drinks”Mike tries persuading her to come along.
“Hmm let me think”She puts her hand on her chin pretending to think for a while.
“Still no,”She said between her teeth before going back to her phone.
“We don’t need her to come along with us, don’t want any bad energy”Laila remarks.
“Whatever you say bitch!”Claudia utters not diverting her eyes from her Phone to glance at Laila as Laila stares at her with a murderous look.
“Why are we still here, when we could be slurping on noodles”She announced making glare at her before going back to her phone.
“You are right Amelia , let’s go!”Laila yells as everyone turn to leave but a voice made them halt at their tracks.
“Where you are guys going?”There all turn to see Liam Standing with his gaze on Amelia like he was referring to only her.
“Hmm we are going to go eat at Ching’s place”Laila tells him.
“Oh really can I come along?”Liam asked making everybody gasp including Claudia as Amelia stares at them confused.
“Are you sure you wanna come along?”Laila asked still doubting what she heard.
“Of course let go”Liam smile before leaving as they followed him from behind while whispering to each other.
“It’s gonna be a long night”Amelia sighs before running to meet them.
