“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

I focused my attention on the screen of my phone while making a concerted effort to stifle the flutter of excitement that ran down my spine as soon as I saw Easton's name appear on the screen. ‘‘I miss you, baby…’’


I couldn't help but grin as I typed ‘‘I miss you too, Easton…’’ and then slipped my phone back into my bag after finishing my message.


It was Friday, and Easton had called me earlier in the day to tell me that he was going to a meeting with an Australian investor named Felix Wallace. Easton was making a purchase for his investment in preparation for when he might one day launch a textile business, and he’s a very significant client. He was interested in venturing into new areas of the company in order to penetrate larger consumer markets.


And it's possible that he was in the middle of the meeting when he suddenly thought of texting me again.
