Bryan, a 23 year old on the verge of homelessness, finally lands a job as a secretary. Desperate for a job, he doesn't read his contract and quickly finds himself forced to be someone he's not.
Bryan woke up feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Today was the last day of their trip, and Laura and Natalie were ready to finalize the most important negotiations. After receiving instructions from Laura to meet the stylists at 3 PM, Bryan headed downstairs, only to find Laura already there, deep in conversation with the stylists.
"Good afternoon, Isabella," Laura greeted Bryan warmly. "Today's meeting is crucial. It seems you've made quite an impression on Tom Lansing. He requested that you be present at the meeting later today."
Bryan's heart sank slightly. He recalled the past couple of days, wondering if he might have gone too far while entertaining Tom. "I hope I didn't overdo it," he said, a hint of worry in his voice.
Laura gave him a reassuring smile. "You did perfectly, honey. We have a plan for today. Natalie and I will arrive late to the meeting, claiming we got held up in another discussion to give the impression that we have other options. You'll arrive a bit early to keep Tom occupied and happy. Once we get there, you can excuse yourself so we can focus on the negotiations."
Bryan nodded, feeling a mix of relief and apprehension. He knew he was capable of entertaining Tom, but the thought of a one-on-one interaction was daunting. "I understand. I'll do my best."
"Good. If this negotiation works out, you'll be well rewarded," Laura assured him. "The meeting will be held in the resort penthouse, with a chef preparing a meal for us. Think of it as a date. Your job is to flatter Tom and get him in a relaxed state."
Bryan noticed Laura's insinuation but decided against asking for clarification. As Laura left, she told the stylists to make Bryan irresistibly sexy. The stylists got to work, transforming Bryan into a vision of elegance and allure.
They chose a black strapless mini dress that accentuated Bryan's waist perfectly, paired with black stiletto heels that added just the right amount of height. His long, light brown hair was styled in loose waves, cascading over his shoulders. As they finished, Bryan glanced at himself in the mirror. The reflection staring back at him was stunning, almost unrecognizable. He felt a strange mix of pride and discomfort.

Once ready, Bryan headed up to the penthouse, trying to calm his nerves. He knocked on the door, and Tom answered almost immediately, his eyes lighting up at the sight of Bryan.
"Isabella, you look stunning," Tom said, his voice dripping with admiration.
"Thank you, Tom. You're too kind," Bryan replied with a shy smile.
The penthouse was luxurious, with a beautiful view of Miami. The table was set for an intimate dinner, and the chef was busy preparing the meal in the open kitchen.
Tom led Bryan to the table, and they sat down. "I've been looking forward to this all day," Tom confessed, his eyes never leaving Bryan's.
"Me too, Tom. It's nice to have some time to unwind."
They made small talk about the resort, the weather, and the local attractions. Tom shared stories about his travels and his love for sailing.
"You must come sailing with me sometime, Isabella," Tom suggested. "There's nothing quite like the feeling of being out on the open water."
"That sounds wonderful," Bryan replied, smiling. "I've never been sailing before."
As the evening progressed, Bryan found himself enjoying the conversation more than he had anticipated. Tom was charming and engaging. Bryan allowed some physical touch, letting Tom hold his hand and wrap his arm around him.
At one point, Tom reached across the table, gently taking Bryan's hand in his. "You have such beautiful hands, Bella," he said softly, his thumb caressing the back of Bryan's hand.
Bryan felt a jolt of panic but maintained his composure. "Thank you, Tom," he replied, allowing the gesture and trying to appear comfortable.
Tom's eyes lingered on Bryan, a predatory gleam in his gaze. "You know, Isabella, I could make you very happy. I have the means to give you anything you desire."
Bryan entertained the idea for a moment, feeling the weight of Tom's words. The offer was tempting—the thought of being taken care of, of having everything he wanted within reach. He decided to play along for a bit longer, leading Tom on. "That's very generous of you," Bryan said, leaning in slightly and giving him a warm smile. "I must admit, it's a very appealing offer."
Tom's eyes sparkled with delight. "I'm glad you think so. Imagine, Isabella, a life of luxury, no worries, just happiness. All you have to do is say yes."
Bryan pretended to consider it, letting Tom's hand linger in his. "It's a beautiful dream, Tom," he said softly, his voice filled with a mix of longing and uncertainty. "But I need some time to think about it."
"Take all the time you need, my dear," Tom replied, squeezing Bryan's hand gently. "Just know that the offer stands."
As the dinner continued, Tom tried to make a more intimate advance. He leaned in closer, his hand moving to Bryan's thigh. "Isabella, my dear, you're truly captivating," he murmured, his voice low and husky.
Bryan felt a rush of panic but managed to keep his composure. He placed his hand over Tom's, holding it there for a moment as he looked into his eyes, then gently but firmly moving it away. "Thank you, Tom," he said, his tone polite but clear.
Tom chuckled softly, clearly enjoying the chase. "Of course, Isabella. I respect your professionalism."
Eventually, Laura and Natalie arrived, about an hour late. Tom didn't seem upset at all, having enjoyed his time with Bryan.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Tom," Laura said, her tone apologetic but firm.
"No worries, Laura. The beautiful Isabella has made wonderful company," Tom replied, his eyes still on Bryan.
Bryan excused himself, taking this moment to really impress Laura. He stands up, giving Tom a kiss on the cheek as he leaves. "It was lovely spending time with you, Tom."
Outside the room, Bryan waited, feeling a rush of emotions. He was worried about the mess he had gotten himself into but was also determined to impress Laura.
A couple of hours later, Bryan was invited back into the room. Tom was about to agree to sell his company to Laura for a more than generous price. The only condition was that Bryan gets promoted to Tom's personal assistant.
Laura and Tom explained this to Bryan. "Isabella, you've done an incredible job. Tom has requested that you be his personal assistant," Laura said, a hint of pride in her voice.
Bryan could tell that to get the reward he was promised, he had to agree. Despite his worries about Tom's intentions, Bryan craved Laura's approval. "Of course, I'd be honored," he said, smiling.
The deal was finalized, and after a quick celebratory cup of champagne, Tom turned to Bryan. "I'll have some dresses sent to your house that I'd like you to wear on your first week. Come next Monday, you're all mine," he said, his tone playful but possessive.
Bryan, still playing the part of Bella, giggled in excitement. "I can't wait, Tom."
Laura and Natalie exchanged knowing glances, pleased with how everything had turned out. "Here's to new beginnings," Laura toasted, raising her glass.
"To new beginnings," Bryan echoed, clinking his glass with theirs, acknowledging the double meaning.
Tom smiled, looking at Bryan with a mixture of satisfaction and anticipation. "I have a feeling this is the start of something very special."
