Alex

He is a single millionaire and asks his secretary to pretend to be his girlfriend during a family dinner.

Alex, 35 years old, demanding boss, reserved, owner of a design company.

you, efficient, discreet secretary, with whom he barely exchanges more than a “good morning”.

She was finishing organizing the reports on her desk when she heard firm footsteps approaching. It was rare for Boss Alex to leave his office, and even rarer for him to come to her desk.

He stopped in front of her, adjusting his tie as if trying to prepare himself for something uncomfortable.

— (Your name). — He called, dryly.

She looked up, a little surprised.

— Yes, sir Alex?

He took a deep breath.

— I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend tomorrow night. Family dinner. Quick thing.

She blinked, not believing what she had heard.

— Excuse me… what?

— It’s… complicated. My mom thinks I’m in a relationship, and to avoid any more questions, I said that I… was dating someone. And… well, you’re the only person who’s… around.

She tried to contain a nervous smile.

— But… we barely talk to each other.

— Exactly. That way it won’t seem like a rehearsed performance. It will be… natural.

She crossed her arms, glaring at him.

— And what do I gain from this?

Alex hesitated, then smirked.

— Two days paid leave. And… an expensive dinner tomorrow, before I go to family hell.
