Billionaire Nick

I raised a brow.

"Kiss me, Caroline."

I thought my heart stopped for a moment.

Too dumbstruck to say anything, I let out a breath and gulped.

Kiss me, Caroline.

The words kept ringing in my ears.

"Wha...I...no,' I finally blurted out.He frowned.

"Think about it’ "No" "Five thousand dollars.’ He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against a pole casually.

At this point, I was simmering with fury.

"I said no—"

"We'll take it, Liam cut me off and I turned to him with wide eyes.You traitor! "Liam? What the hell!"

"I'll let you two have a word)’ Nick said with a rather devilish smirk on his face.

Clenching my jaw in anger, I motioned for Liam to follow me.

"Why would you do that?"I snapped.

"Caroline, think about it.Five thousand dollars.We could be the stars of the carnival.No one is going to make that much and after paying the committee, we'll have our share too"

I pondered over his words.

"And you never wanted to run this booth in the first place.Now all you have to do is kiss one guy and get this over with."

"That one guy happens to be my boss,"I snapped.

"The boss who clearly has a thing for you.I don't see the problem."I let out a laugh at his words.

Last time I believed he had a thing for me, he made sure I knew I was nothing more than a backup.

"He doesn't have a thing for me, trust me.

He's just trying to prove a point’ Liam's phone rang and he fished it out of his pocket.

"Shit.I have to be somewhere’ My eyes grew wide.

"Don't you dare leave me alone here."

"I'm sorry, Care.I have to go.Just think about this, okay? I know you'll make the right decision."

He disappeared in the crowd.

Slowly, I turned to the devil himself, who had a little smirk playing on his lips.

"I'm not doing it" I stated.

The smirk vanished and was replaced by a scowl.

"You were ready to kiss that took a while ago.What's wrong with me?"

How professional of him! I gritted my teeth in annoyance.

"You're my boss.’ "Temporary boss,’ he corrected.

"What even—"
