“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

‘‘Easton, you can't possibly expect me to lie to your mother in any way...’’ I gave a little shake of the head and then flung the paper down on the table. ‘‘She’s your mother, so she’s aware whether you’re telling the truth or not…’’


Easton went silent, and the deep expression that emerged on his face indicated to me that he, too, was considering the matter.


‘‘Okay…’’ he nodded. ‘‘Let's just tell her that we're dating for real…okay?’’


‘‘No!’’ I raised a protest. ‘‘Easton, I must respectfully disagree with you. You mentioned to me that she’s not interacting with Rosie, which leads me to believe that she doesn’t like your wife.’’


‘‘Yeah, you’re right…’’ he said. ‘‘And correction, ex-wife…’’


‘‘You haven't divorced her yet, have you?’’


‘‘But we’re not living together anymore!’’


‘‘But you’re still married!’’


‘‘Fine!’’ He gave a defeated shrug, waved his hand, and groaned as he leaned back against the back of his seat. ‘‘I’m not going to win with you, right?’’
