“Please be my date on Saturday night’s party…” Mr. Easton Gonzalez said after submitting the report I had written earlier. The yellow folder he was handing me back hung in the air as I stared at him in shock.
"Excuse me?" I shrieked, my gaze fixed on his. "I'm not going on a date with you!" I exclaimed, glaring at my boss.
“Don’t worry Miss Bell, it’s a fake date…” my boss informed me and I felt like I was splashed with cold water on the face.
Easton Gonzalez, the CEO of Gonzalez Steel Manufacturing and Industries asked his personal assistant Chloe Bell to be his fake date on their company’s Silver Anniversary to annoy and upset his ex-wife who cheated on him with his best friend. He chose Chloe out of all the girls around him because he knew Chloe wasn’t like the other girls who were crazy about him.

Boss, I'm Just Your Fake Date

‘‘So... your boyfriend passed away?’’ Easton inquired, his hand running through my hair as I pressed my cheek against his chest. ‘‘I’m so sorry, Miss Bell. May Jasper find peace in—’’


‘‘No!’’ I pulled away from him, looking up at his face. ‘‘Jasper didn’t die.’’


‘‘What?’’ Easton looked so confused as he stared at me, and I wanted to burst out laughing, but the tears just won’t stop falling down from my eyes.


‘‘He's still alive...’’ I said, wiping the tears from my eyes with my hands.


Easton reached into his pocket and pulled out a white handkerchief and handed it to me.


‘‘Thank you...’’ My voice trailed off as I blew my nose into the handkerchief.


Easton watched me with amusement, but his mouth parted when I handed the white cloth back to him. ‘‘Oh, no… No, Miss Bell, keep it. It’s yours now.’’


‘‘Are you sure?’’ I inquired because I was aware of the high cost of this small cloth. Much more expensive than the house dress I was wearing.
