Anthony's POV

As soon as I parked my car in front of the restaurant, I turned off its engine and glanced at Sandy who acted as if she didn't realize we were already at the restaurant. She was just focused on her phone, smiling at whatever was displayed on her screen.

“We're here,” I announced and she just spared the restaurant a one-second glance before looking at her phone and tapping on it.

“Hm,” she said.

I sighed. “What's got you smiling like that?”

“Oh… it's Mr. Flintwood.”

At the mention of his name, my appetite left. I glared at the phone and then at her. I was trying to understand why he was making her smile the way she was doing.

“What do you mean by that?” I asked and she dropped the phone. Finally.

“We exchanged numbers after he left your office and we spoke before you came into my office. He's so good-looking, don't you think? He's the only handsome guy I know that works at the company.”

My heart felt a sharp pain when she made mentioned him being the only handsome employe

    Anthony's POVOur first date was just in a few minutes and I was nervous because I needed our plan to work and hoped that someone spotted us and took pictures. The more hours went by, the more I realized that I needed to make this plan successful enough for my father to believe in and give me my right.While I buttoned up my dress shirt, my phone lit up on the vanity before me. I stared at it and saw a pop-up message from Vanessa; one of my flings. I smirked and picked up my phone. Once the device was unlocked with my face, I read her message which was asking if we could meet and fuck as always. I was down for a night with her since I was stressed and needed sexual relief.I typed back a response that we would meet soon and hit send then finished dressing. This was the first time I was doing such a thing with my best friend and it was so awkward. Awkward in the sense that it would be difficult seeing her as nothing more than a friend. I didn't even have the guts to imagine us kissing

    Anthony's POVWe were now at Subway for her to get her dose of unhealthy overseasoned food. As soon as I parked, she jumped out of the car, making me chuckle. I got out and followed her into the fast-food restaurant. The bright lights and smell of fried foods made my stomach churn but I had to hold myself from throwing up.I noticed that people were looking at us and I wouldn't blame them, we were two expensively dressed coupl— Friends walking into a cheap place. “Hi, welcome. What would you like to order?” I snapped out of my thoughts when I realized that we were at the counter. Sandy excitedly gave her order to the girl behind the counter who I noticed was eyeing me like every other woman usually did. I had to hold myself back from flirting back because of Sandy and our plan. So, to put a stop to it, I wrapped my arms around Sandy's front and kissed her cheek.“Are you sure that's all you want, baby?” I asked to the hearing of the girl.“Uh… I… Do you also want something?” Sandy a

    Sandy's POVOh, my God!Anthony just kissed my neck. He pinned me to his car. He made me feel his body more than once! My heart was racing more than ever! This was not happening! It had to be a dream.This date had started with a spiral of nervousness after I wore the dress and it had been the sexiest thing I had ever put on around him. The dress had left me wondering what he would think but my heart crashed into my gut when I saw a nonchalant look on his face, even throughout dinner with him, he didn't act like I was dressed so differently around him. All he cared about was if we were being followed.Anthony hadn't said one word since we started driving home and I was in a way glad because I didn't want to say anything to embarrass myself. The only thing that filled the confinement of the car was the soft music playing on the radio.I sighed and my phone vibrated in my purse. I had a feeling it was Trent and that put a smile on my face. I could remember how charming he sounded when w

    Just like every day, I was occupied with working to the point that my feet hurt from walking around and standing in meetings with Anthony. His company never had a day when no one worked tirelessly which made me wonder how no one saw Anthony as a good boss even though he hardly interacted with his staff. Even through the stress of work, some people had time to gossip and spread rumors; which was good but not at all good. There were rumors about me finally showing my true colors as a gold digger, how I have been plotting to have Anthony for myself and that I was the reason he didn't look at the single women the way they dreamt about. It irked me and made me wonder if he was aware too.Being friends with someone who was higher than me in social status and financial status was not as easy as people would think. Sometimes, the reason I hated when Anthony paid for my stuff was because of what people would think or see. Just fake-dating him brought out the worst in his staff, even from the

    “Is that so?”I rolled my eyes at Anthony when he responded to what Trent had said. I tried to move out of his grip but tightened his hold on me and sent me a warning look. I sighed and leaned on his body. I blushed when I felt his hand start to move softly on my lower back, almost close to the top of my ass. I gulped and lifted my head off his chest.“I will take my leave now. I still have some paperwork left to check,” Trent said and I saw him walk into my line of vision. I offered him a smile and he returned it before leaving the office. The moment I was certain he was out of earshot, I moved out of Anthony's arm and smacked him on the shoulder.“Really? What did I tell you about PDAs at work?” I asked, trying to juggle his memory.“When it comes to him, I'll act like the perfect boyfriend. I don't trust that man, especially since he's been sent here by my dad, I've said this before. He seems smart and I don't like it.”I rolled my eyes and went to the desk where the food bag was.

    Anthony's POVWhy I am grabbing my best friend's ass and why I am loving the feel of it against my palm was a shock to me. Even though I had to do it to spice up the pictures of us that were trending, this felt different. On top of it all, Sandy had the softest ass I had ever touched. Something about it made me feel my cock stir in my shorts. It made me slightly turned on and the way she smelt so flowery and spicy had my mouth watering.“Anthony?” I got back to my senses when I realized I had overdone it. I needed to remind myself that she was someone I had to respect, not objectify. I cleared my throat and took the little luggage she held. I opened the door upward and she got in. I slid the door shut and let out a breath of relief before going over to the other side of the car.I got in and placed her luggage at the back where mine was. I smiled at her and put on my seatbelt then I noticed she was struggling with hers. I waited to see if she would solve the problem but when she didn

    “Let's go for a swim,” Sandy suddenly said and left the confinement of my arms.She moved to my side and faced the ocean. I followed her movement and my eyes went to her ass. My heart skipped behind my ribcage as I stared at her ass. They were just the right globes and the bikini was like G-string underwear, leaving her ass cheeks open. I put my hands in my pockets and blew out air.I never knew I had one sexy and gorgeous woman as a best friend. No wonder why some of my business friends wanted her and why people insinuated that we fucked each other. If I was like them, I would think the same because —I felt a tug on my shorts and I flinched, snapping out of my deep thoughts. Sandy pulled me close to the balcony and pointed at the water.“Come on. I wanna soak in the water.”She left my side and went over to the short steps leading to the downward part of the yacht. I followed behind, slowly making my way down the wooden steps, and respectively kept my eyes over her head. Sandy giggl

    Sandy's POVWhy was my bikini top around my waist, away from where it is supposed to be— On my chest? I had to make myself believe that I was dreaming and that I wasn't half naked in front of my best friend with the media just a few feet away, ready to take a click of my precious jewels.I blinked and glanced up to find Anthony staring down at me, his eyes on my cleavage. I blushed, then gasped before flicking him in the chin. He hissed and I pointed my finger at his face.“Keep those wandering eyes off my face, or chest,” I said, feeling embarrassed that he was seeing me like this.I saw his Adam's apple move up and down before moving my eyes over his shoulder to where I saw the paparazzi, leaning like they found something interesting. Well, they did, considering I was about to be trending everywhere if they saw my chest.“What are we going to do?” I asked and Anthony shrugged. The movement made my breasts move against his chest, causing my already hard nipples to tighten more. My fa

    Sandy’s POVAnthony stayed quiet for some seconds after dropping such a hard statement. A part if me was shocked at the revelation but the other part of me was not surprised as I remembered what one of his uncles said to me when we were in Seoul. What got me more shocked was the fact that Anthony did not just tell me about it. It made me feel like he was already accepting their demands when he said nothing to me about this.“I’m sorry for not telling you," he said, as if reading my thoughts. “I was panicking. I didn’t know how to tell you and how you would react especially knowing how much you were ready to help me get my parents off my back.”I sat upright and rubbed the rest of the tiredness and sleep off my face. This was getting serious the more I thought about it. It made me think of what his parents said about this. If they actually accepted Ida over me after his mom in particular gushed over us. It left a pang in my heart.“Get my phone from the side table,” he said, and I glan

    Sandy’s POVIt had been an hour since I saw Anthony at my doorstep, and I was still angry just at the sight of him. The image of him staring at me like I did something bad to Ida still flashed in my head. It still hurt that he would easily think that I could do such a thing to someone. No doubt, I was jealous but how dare he think I was violent because of my feelings and our friendship.I turned on my bed to get a more comfortable position as sleep seemed to be far from me. I stared at the ceiling through the darkness of the room and thought back to how he had been looking when he was here. He looked exhausted with baggy eyes and rough hair. He barely looked like the energetic man I knew and at some point, I had felt the urge to hear him out but I didn’t want to get back on my word.With a sigh, I shut my eyes and forced sleep to come. I needed to sleep to prepare myself for what was to come tomorrow at work. When I felt the weight of sleep on me, I relaxed, welcoming more of it.It w

    Anthony’s POVI felt like a loser. A fool at most as I watched my best fucking friend drive out of the courtyard from my office window. My heart tugged as I stared at the back lights of her car and even after her car disappeared around the corner, I continued to stare at the gate, wishing I could change everything that had happened ever since Ida showed up. Just thinking about made me feel even more restless and helpless.I sighed and walked away from the window then stopped when I heard the door of my office open. I gritted my teeth at the sight of Ida. She approached me with a sad look on her face. I was not in the mood to ask questions about it. I turned away and crossed the other side of the room to the table that held all my drinks. I picked up a glass and grabbed a bottle of whiskey.“I have been keeping quiet about her, but I don’t think she likes me. It’s good that you made her leave. She is just too much. How dare she push me because she can’t get over the fact that you no lo

    Chapter’s Soundtrack: Skin by Sabrina CarpenterSandy’s POVI was stunned to the bones at what he had said. I stared at him, trying to get a hint of joke from his appearance but there wasn’t. The most part was how he had said such to the hearing of Anthony and his secretary. It made my cheeks flame up from embarrassment and from the strong meaning behind those words. My heart fluttered a bit just from hearing him speak and when he came closer, I swallowed. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Anthony move as if he wanted to approach us, but Ida popped out of nowhere and held his arm. I sighed and focused on Trent who was still looking me in the eyes. He took my hand and pulled me into my office with him. He shut the door and leaned on it before looking at me with a smile on his face." Trent,” I said, being loss of words.He chuckled. “Ignore what I said out there. I wanted to piss the fuck out of him.”I blinked and craned my head sideways in confusion. I furrowed my eyebrows, and he w

    Sandy’s POVI looked from one person to the next, trying to decipher what Ida had just said. Even Anthony had barely said anything or moved from the sink, and it was making me very angry. Ignoring me was different but not telling me about this as someone who was his best friend and fake partner, that he lives with pissed me off. I was getting tired of this treatment. Just when I was about to march my way to him, Ida got down from the counter and approached me.“I hope you don’t have problems with this. You see, I was the one who asked, and he didn’t want to agree at first, but I told him it is just for a few days. The paper for my apartment is already prepped.”I looked past her to glare at Anthony. My heart was burning from the anger I was feeling. I scoffed and looked to the side. I squeezed my eyes shut for some seconds before nodding my had in agreement.“I am fine with it since my opinion doesn’t count. And you,” I pointed at Anthony. “Mr. Hogan, we need to talk.”I did not wait

    Sandy’s POVThe four of us sat around a small round table at the small restaurant Trent had told me about. They served a fairly good food, suitable for their rich lifestyle. Ever since we arrived, I had lost my appetite and only put a few spoons of food into my mouth while Ida chatted away with Trent and Anthony about work. It was almost as if I was at a business luncheon with my boss, sitting quietly like the obedient assistant that I was. Anthony only gave me a few glances and that was only when we ordered and when the food came. Ida was all up in his face, getting his attention and making him respond to her. I wanted to believe that she was so invested in him that he barely had time for me. I knew Anthony well enough but these past few hours have been quite confusing for me.“Sandy?”At the sound of Trent’s voice, I raised my bowed head and made eye contact with him. He smiled and looked at my plate before looking back at me.“Why aren’t you eating?”The table became quiet and I di

    Sandy’s POVFor the umpteenth time that night, I checked my phone for time with a heavy heart. Anthony had not returned and it was close to two in the morning. I could barely sleep or sit or lay at a spot. All I thought about was what he was up to so late at night and why he hadn’t called me. It was unlike him and I purposely did not want to over think anything, especially in the direction of him and Ida. But something in my guts made me believe he was away from the room because of her and the more I put my mind to it, the more I felt like I was going to implode.When the time on my phone swapped from 1:59 to 2 am, I sighed and went to the bed. My body was tired but my mind was too active. I sat on the bed and stared at the door for a while before looking down at the phone in my hand. I was tempted to call him but I did not trust myself to stay calm without being moved by my emotions, especially the hurt I was feeling.I shook my head and laid down on the bed. I stared at a random spo

    Sandy’s POVI didn’t know what to feel as I stared at her. She was just as perfect as she had been all those years in school. Even more perfect looking. My heart clenched the more the I stared at her over Anthony’s head.Ida Hills, Anthony’s first crush, the one girl in high school he ever liked. She was here, before us and in that moment, it felt like I had a threat. The silence in the room proved that. Even Anthony no longer stood between my legs but was backing me and I could see how stiff his back was, probably drinking in the sight of the woman in awe. I shifted my gaze back to Ida and took in how much she has changed over the years.Her hair that always reached her shoulder was now long, touching her back. Her body was perfection, slim and curvy with those long legs that Anthony told me he always found sexy. I swallowed as I stared into her bright blue eyes and glanced at her rosy and high cheeks. She was smiling the charming smile she always had on whenever people made her happ

    Sandy’s POVI was not okay.I was feeling like a hot potato boiling in a pot. My heart was racing fast and pounding to the point I felt like blood was rushing in my ears. My stomach knotted more and more when I tried to convince myself that sitting on Anthony’s lap was normal.Nope, it was not. There was nothing normal about it. Especially when I could feel his taut stomach against my side, and his warm hand on my naked thigh, followed by his cock that was slightly hard under my butt. The feel of it made me sit stiffly, too scared to move so he would not feel awkward.“Relax,” he whispered in my ear again. “Remember what Raina said.”I glanced at Raina who was standing beside her mother. She winked at me and smirked before looking away. I sighed and forced myself to relax. My body tingled when I felt Anthony’s hand move upper on my thigh. He gripped my thigh and rubbed the spot he gripped. My pussy throbbed and I knew I was so wet from what he was doing.“You need to get used to me to
