Chapter 5 - The blind date

Christina stands in front of a mirror, staring at her reflection. Lisa is behind her, adjusting the elegant dress she forced Christina into.

Christina: "Lisa, this is ridiculous. What if he realizes I'm not you?"

Lisa: grinning "He won't! My dad barely told him anything about me. Just smile, act confident, and don't blow my cover."

Christina: (sighs) "I can't believe I let you talk me into this."

Lisa shoves a pair of heels into Christina's hands.

Lisa: "You owe me for all the times I covered for you! Now go, pretend to be me, and survive this date."

A while later, Christina arrives at the fancy restaurant. She smooths her dress, takes a deep breath, and steps inside. Her eyes land on a tall, confident man in a sleek black suit. He's already seated, checking his watch. The moment he looks up, Christina freezes. It's him. The guy from the park. The one she literally ran into.

She quickly recovers, remembering Lisa's instructions. She forces a smile and sits down.

Damian: (raising an eyebrow) "You're late."

Christina: (forcing a laugh) "Fashionably late. Isn't that part of my charm?"

Damian studies her for a moment, a smirk playing at his lips.

Damian: "Lisa, right?"

Christina swallows hard but nods. She can't blow her cover.

Christina: "Yup! That's me, Lisa."

Damian leans back in his chair, watching her with mild amusement.

Damian: "You seem… different from what I expected."

(Christina forces a confident grin.)

Christina: "Surprise! I like to keep people on their toes."

She's doing it—playing the part. What she doesn't know is that this isn't just any blind date. This is Damian Sinclair, the CEO of her company. And tomorrow, she's about to walk into work and come face-to-face with him… again.
