“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

‘‘Any problem…?’’ As soon as we got off the elevator, Easton questioned me while proceeding to open the door of our room.


‘‘Problem?’’ I laughed it off. ‘‘Oh… it’s nothing! It’s not a problem that you told everyone that I’m your girlfriend, even if they’re aware that you’re still married to Rosie. And they’re apparently under the impression that I’m your mistress. So there shouldn't be any problem here, Easton...’’ I said sarcastically as I glared at him and grabbed the handle of my luggage, which was already placed in the doorway.


I walked past him, but he grasped my hand and stopped me from moving.


‘‘Chloe, I’m sorry, okay…?’’ he said in a low tone. His eyes were so soft and pleading. ‘‘I didn’t mean to---’’


‘‘You could’ve just informed them that I am your personal assistant…’’ I said, yanking his hand away and eventually entering the suite. ‘‘We can’t just pretend every time in every place we go that we’re dating because Rosie is not always around.’’
