“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

‘‘Please, call me Oliver...’’ Once more, he flashed a grin and enthusiastically shook my hand. ‘‘And you’re right... Chloe. I’m not your father's physician; rather, I am just a lowly surgeon.’’ As he saw the blank look on my face, he went on to explain that he was the one who had managed my dad’s surgery earlier. ‘‘I did a meniscectomy in his knee. The meniscus was torn.’’


‘‘Oh…’’ I felt apprehension chill my spine at the thought of my father going under the knife, blade, scalpel, or whatever they called it.


The expression on Oliver's face became more calm and soothing. ‘‘Your father is an exceptionally strong man. As soon as he has fully recovered, he’ll be free to go home safe and sound…’’


‘‘Thank you, Dr… Oliver,’’ I smiled, even though I was scarcely soothed by his words. ‘‘That’s very reassuring indeed. It’ll be nice to have him home again, but sad to say I have to go back to Manhattan after making sure that he’s okay. Not to be rude, but the food here’s awful…’’
