A Very Grumpy Boss

He’s got a plan. Now he just needs to win his girl. 

Cameron

Life in a small town can suck.

Everyone knows everyone else’s business and it can feel like there are no secrets.

I’ve managed to keep one though.

I’m in love with Ford Miller.

I have been since I was a kid, but I never knew how he felt so I kept it to myself.

When I started to work for him, keeping that secret became harder.

I’ve been pining for Cameron since we were kids, but she’s always kept me at arm’s length.

When she comes to me looking for a job, I’m happy to give her one.

I also hope that maybe she’ll finally let down her guard and realize that we’re meant to be.

It’s been months now though and we’re still just friends.

So, I come up with an idea.

A bet.

She gives me a chance, two weeks, to prove that we’re meant to be so much more than boss and employee.

If after those two weeks, she’s not completely in love with me, then I’ll give her enough money to leave town and restart her art career.

If though, she is in love with me, then we get married and she moves in with me.

Now I just need to win the bet and get my dream girl once and for all.
