Simon Riley ⁶⁰

Your footsteps echo around the room, your radiant figure attracts the gaze of several people present. Many believed they would see you defeated and sad after what happened with your failed engagement to one of the children of the Young family, Dilan, but you already had something in mind. You search with your gaze until you find that brown hair that you knew so well, he was sitting at the bar; full of determination you approach him. "I have to give you credit, at least you're punctual." you said as you took a seat next to him. "At least I do know the term 'punctual'." he said, certainly annoyed, since you had arrived fifteen minutes late. "My time to get ready is worth money." you say as you throw your hair back, which only makes Simon roll his eyes. "Anyway, Dilan is there with his new girlfriend." His words make you tense, you look over him and manage to see him, there he was with the one who was once your best friend. "Are you going to tell me what you have in mind?" Simon spoke again, taking you out of your trance. "I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend." You blurt out, causing Simon to choke on his drink. "What?" He turned to look at you. "Are you crazy?" You look at him determinedly. "You are his number one enemy and I need you to do this, only then can I watch him suffer." You say with a touch of desperation, Simon thought about it for long seconds. "What will I gain in return?" He questions you. "Information about him and his company." You say without thinking, Simon smiles slightly. You see him approach you until he is a hair away from your lips. "Deal." For a moment you think he's going to kiss you because of the proximity, until he moves away, returning to his initial pose and taking a sip of his drink.
