“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.

It was already 7:10 in the evening when Easton and I arrived at The Algonquin Hotel. After a server had shown us to our seats, an older woman who appeared to be in her late 50s looking so elegant and classy in her peach-colored dress approached us.


‘‘Easton, my sweet little boy...’’ The woman welcomed me with a big smile and gave Easton a bear hug.


‘‘Hi, mom… how are you?’’ Easton flashed a grin as he planted a peck on his mother's cheek.


‘‘I’m better now that you’re here with me. I haven’t seen you in weeks...’’ she pouted. ‘‘And this beautiful lady here must be the reason why you’re late, huh? Well, I can’t blame you, she’s more gorgeous than Rosie!’’ Mrs. Gonzales exclaimed and I almost choke at her statement. After that, she made a motion for me to hug her.


‘‘Hello, Mrs. Gonzales…’’ I greeted her in a timid manner. ‘‘It's my pleasure to finally meet you…’’


‘‘Hello, my dear…’’ Mrs. Gonzales greeted me back and kissed my cheek. ‘‘And your name is?’’
