“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.

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.

I scanned his eyes for indications of anger or derision, but all I discovered in their hazel depths was a genuine concern for the situation. ‘‘Would you be interested in going to a different place for dinner? I totally understand if you don’t like to stay, or if you feel that it would be more convenient for us to carry out this activity some other day...’’


I smiled and shook my head. ‘‘No... don't worry about it. Remember, I'm going to leave the next day. This would be the first and the last time that we’re doing this…’’
