“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

‘‘Guess, she was really pissed off...’’ Easton remarked as he transferred the dish that he had prepared on a plate.


‘‘You're right, she was...’’ As I set the phone down on the table, I couldn't help but giggle.


‘‘You should then anticipate that she will become much angrier with you.’’


‘‘I don't have any fear of her...’’ I shrugged. ‘‘I’m not doing anything wrong… and to tell you the truth, I could care less what she thinks of me at this point.’’


‘‘I still can't believe you said all that to her...'’ He laughed and shook his head as he made his way towards the dining room carrying a platter of filet mignon with garlic butter. I can hardly wait to get my mouth on it.


I leaped with excitement off of the stool when I recalled that he had issued a dare and I made my way to follow him into the dining room. ‘‘Hey! You owe me two hundred bucks, boss…’’ I smiled with victory as I opened my palm in front of him.


‘‘Two hundred bucks…?’’ his eyes widened.
