Sunny’s POV
‘Go here at the StarMoon’s Mall.’
As soon as I woke up, I read a message from an unknown number telling me to go to the Mall. Wait, who the hell is this? And how did he know about my number? I don’t remember giving out my number to anyone before. Oh well, I can just delete it and ignore it.
I stood up and put my glasses on, going to the bathroom when my phone rang again, What the hell?! It’s still too early in the morning!
‘GO HERE OR PAY ME FIVE HUNDRED MILLION.’
My eyes automatically widened upon reading the message of the unknown number again. That bastard! What does he want to make me do this time?!
‘GO HERE, NOW!’
Ugh! DAMN YOU!!!
I hurriedly went inside my bathroom and took a bath. I wore a white t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans then I brought my backpack with me where I usually put my laptop in. “Mom, I’m going now,” I said when I finally went downstairs. Mom was cooking breakfast in the kitchen while dad is reading a newspaper while promptly sitting on the couch. “It’s too early, why don’t you eat some breakfast first?”
“No, I’ll be dead if I arrive there late,” I said as I was struggling to wear my white high-converse shoes. Damn, it’s too early in the morning, are malls even open at this time?
I just called a cab and rode my way until I finally arrived at the entrance of the mall. “Now where is he? The audacity of him to call me early in the morning to go here when he’s the one who isn’t here yet, is he playing tricks on me?!”
“Hey Nerdy!”
I quickly turned around and saw a man wearing a black overcoat above a brown turtleneck paired with a black pair of jeans. He was holding his phone in his hand as if he was trying to call someone. His brows are furrowed while looking at me. Damn, he really is so handsome. “What the hell are you looking at? Come here!” he yelled.
“C-Coming!”
I quickly ran towards him without even knowing that the laces of my shoes were loose. Just when I was able to go near him, I got tripped over my shoelace, causing me to fall directly onto him. Good thing he was able to catch me in his arms. “What the hell are you doing?!” he yelled at me, still holding me in his arms.
I looked up at him and saw his face up-close. God, he is even more handsome up close. His eyes, nose, lips, and skin are all so flawless. “What? Are you just going to stare at my face all day here?” he suddenly said, brows furrowed while glaring at me.
Oh, I forgot, this handsome man I just admired is a devil. I quickly moved away from him and fixed my shirt. I knelt down and tied my shoelaces again. “Follow me.” He said as he started walking inside the mall.
“W-Wait, what are we going to do here? The mall is still close, can’t you see that?!”
He didn’t mind me, instead, he continues walking until he reached the door of the mall. My eyes widened when the guard even opened the door for him. “Good Morning, Mr. Furlord.” Said the guard.
“Are you planning to stand there?” he looked at me again.
“H-Huh? N-No!”
With that, I followed him inside and found out that only the two of us are inside. Of course, the salesladies and other mall staff are there too, bowing their heads whenever Damon walks past them. “Why are they all greeting you, huh? And they even let us in even though they’re supposed to be close at this time.”
“Are you dumb? Of course, they will let us in because I’m the owner of this mall.”
My jaw dropped, “T-The owner of this mall?!”
Oh you are so dumb, Sunny. This demon here is a CEO, okay? Not just a mere CEO but the richest CEO in the country. Damon first went inside a boutique where dresses, most are pink in color were being displayed. He was taking every dress from the stall and checks if it suits me. “Here, try wearing these and we’ll see what suits you.” He said as he handed me five pink dresses with different styles.
“Wait, why do I have to wear them? And what are you planning to do?” I asked him.
“Can’t you just try wearing them first and stop asking me?” he said, sounding so pissed when I was just asking. Why is he so hot-tempered? Because he’s heartbroken? Well, I am heartbroken too but I don’t act like a menopause woman!
“Well of course I will ask you after you threatened me early in the morning to go here without even telling me why. And now, I wasn’t even able to go to school because of you. Don’t I deserve to know the reason why you dragged me in here, Mr. CEO?”
He heaved a deep sigh before looking at me, “Fine. My mom called me yesterday and asked me to bring a girlfriend this weekend. I already said yes even though I don’t really have a girlfriend. Now, since I already introduced you as my girlfriend in your family, then you have to pretend to be my girl too in front of my parents.”
“W-What?! H-Hey! We didn’t talk about pretending to be your girlfriend except during my sister’s birthday! You didn’t even tell me that we’ll continue that. We never had an agreement about that!”
“But we did have an agreement that you’ll do everything I say.” He said, raising an eyebrow at me.
“You’re taking advantage of that agreement!” I yelled. He then laughed sarcastically as he stared at me, “Well, sorry for you. You mistakenly took my picture and used it for your novel’s sake.” He said with his usual emotionless handsome face. “Go inside the fitting room now before I change my mind and sue you instead.”
I glared at him as I walked inside the fitting room. Damon Furlord, you’re really pissing me off. I swear I’m going to punch you on the face real hard once I finally get free from this damn agreement!
