“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

I had just finished taking a quick shower, so I put on my loose t-shirt, hopped into the bed, and was about to sleep when I heard my phone beep.


I checked to see who had contacted me at this hour by reaching for my phone, which was sitting on the table next to my bed. When I discovered Easton had been sending me a lot of text messages, I almost dropped my phone.


The first message I received said, ‘‘Chloe... Where are you?’’ immediately followed by an ‘‘I'm sorry...’’


I frowned as I opened the second one. ‘‘Please…come back… or at least tell me that you got home safe…’’


As I typed out my response to him, I heaved a sigh.


‘‘I'm home…’’ Due to the fact that I was already feeling tired and dizzy, I immediately sent the text and didn’t care to wait for his response.


After setting an alarm on my phone, I placed it back on the bedside table and curled up in a ball, hoping that all that occurred tonight was just a dream. I eventually drifted off to sleep.
