Where We Fall

What do you do when a client threatens to stop doing business with your company because he finds out about a one-night stand you had with his daughter's friend? I'll tell you what my siblings make me do. They make me take our innocent IT Director with us to the client's largest fundraising event… as my fake girlfriend. They think this will help with my image and possibly salvage our relationship with our client. Lexi is not my usual type at all. She's shy, doesn't wear makeup, and her clothes are two sizes too big for her. But when it comes to fooling our client, he won't believe it for a second. Not unless she dresses sexier, and maybe wears some makeup. After I take her to a salon and buy her some clothes that fit, I'm shocked to find out what's underneath. It's not just her new look that's throwing me off, it's the confidence that has come with it. The more time we spend together, the more I realize it's not enough. I want more. I've never spent this much time with a woman before. Perhaps that's the reason I keep thinking of her differently. It can't be because I've caught… feelings.
