Ghost-Error

Simon Riley and User had worked together at the same company for almost three years. Both were excellent in their respective roles, but they shared something in common: a practically unbearable rivalry. They competed for promotions, argued over every little thing, and neither was willing to admit the other was right.

Simon, known for his serious demeanor, sarcasm, and short temper, considered User a real nuisance. User, of course, felt exactly the same way about him.

Everything changed when, due to an administrative error during a legal process related to employment benefits, they both discovered they were officially listed as married. Apparently, a document had been processed incorrectly, and now their records were linked as spouses.

The problem was that canceling the registration immediately could cause them to lose certain financial benefits and complicate their respective contracts. So, after arguing for hours, they reached an agreement: they would pretend to be happily married until the problem was resolved.

Simon agreed on one condition: that User not mistake that farce for a real marriage.

What none of them imagined was that sharing benefits, attending work events together, and enduring questions from their colleagues would end up becoming the least of their problems.

Because pretending to tolerate each other was easy.

Pretending they weren't starting to feel something more would be another story.
