I got married in a flash. My boss, James Bright, became my husband.

Salary raise was all I asked. Unexpectedly, I became a boss lady.

My boss, James, was a weird person. In order to force him to get married, his mother locked him up with a beautiful woman, but he chose to jump out of the window and run away!

Before we got married, I asked him, in secret "Mr. Bright, do you hate women?"

My name was Hollie Cox. After graduating for three years, I, a millennial, had achieved nothing.

Given that my daily work required little efforts, I didn't want to quit.

Besides finishing my work, I had to act as Mr. Bright's assistant, which was beyond my job scope.

It irked me.

Fearing that he would be unhappy and fire me, I had to continue to work hard for him.

Then, one day, I discovered his secret.

Here's the thing. As usual, I made him a cup of Latte at 3 p.m. on time.

After walking into his office with the coffee, I found that he was not there. So, I had to tidy up his desk to show that I was loyally fulfilling my responsibilities.

Then I saw there were about 100 photos of different beauties in a folder of his, which dumbfounded me.

I sighed, wondering how come he had such a hobby. Seeing that no one was around, I, who found beauties a feast to the eyes usually, began to flip through the photos one by one.

So I didn't even notice when James appeared in front of me fiercely!

I felt an inexplicable force approaching me from my back.

Looking back, I saw James looking at me sharply. I was so scared that I caught my breath. The photos in my hand were scattered all over the ground.

I quickly lowered my head to pick them up. Then James' cell phone rang. I deliberately slowed down to try to catch some wind of his private life.

Picking up the call, James said, "Mom? Didn't I tell you? I'm not going!"

"Not going? What is he referring to?" I pricked up my ears at his words.

"Well, James, you're an adult now. You'd better think about your personal matters. The blind date I arranged for you is absolutely reliable."

I couldn't help but laugh, thinking to myself, "There must be something wrong with James' sexual orientation!"

"I told you, I'm not going. Don't make trouble for me, okay?" Mr. Bright sounded somewhat impatient.

I sped up and arranged the photos of the beauties on his desk.

At this moment, Mr. Bright looked at me and said into the phone, "Mom, in fact, I already have a girlfriend."

My eyes widened, but I tried my best to hide my curiosity.

Then Mr. Bright handed me the cell phone. I looked at his face in confusion. Well, he seemed to be asking me for help.

"Do me a favor."

I was not moved at all.

"I'll raise your salary."

I immediately took the cell phone and smiled. I felt so good as gossip unfolded right in front of me!

Then, I said gently, which I had never done before, "Auntie, hello. I'm James' boyfriend, oh, no, girlfriend."

Perhaps I was so nervous that I almost said something wrong.

"Little girl, don't lie to me."

Sure enough, the older, the wiser.

"No, Auntie. It's like this. James and I were just with each other last month. We wanted to tell you when things stabilized."

"Oh, really? Don't lie to me?"

"How could it be? Well, I'll have a video talk with you." After that, I turned on the camera, stood in front of Mr. Bright, and put my arm around his shoulder. Smiling, I said, "Look, how could we lie to you?" After that, I glanced at Mr. Bright. Looking at me, he blushed shyly.

Seeing that his mother was unconvinced, I was hot-headed. Holding Mr. Bright's chin, I kissed him on the lips.

In less than a second, his mother quickly hung up the phone, but at this time, I had no intention of letting go of Mr. Bright.

While I kissed him, memory of my first love surged in my mind...

Seeing that his mother had hung up the phone, Mr. Bright pushed me away anxiously.

I asked calmly, "Mr. Bright, how much are you going to raise my salary?"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Bright suddenly turned his back on me and waved at me. I thought to myself, "I can't just let the luck slip by me like this."

I walked up to him and said, "Mr. Bright, how about by 333 dollars?"

He looked back at me with a flushed face. Well, it seemed that it was the first time that he had been kissed?

Thinking of this, I moved further and said, "So you agree, right? Then I'll go to the finance department to modify the contract now?"

I was certain about this. After all, as the idlest person in the company, I am good at spreading gossip. Given this, my boss would surely consent to my request.

"Don't worry. I'll keep my mouth shut about what happened today."

"Go ahead." As soon as Mr. Bright finished speaking, I left his office with a smile and headed for the finance department.

Along the way, I was confident and overjoyed.

After signing the contract, I went back to my desk and looked at a photo under my keyboard. The man in the photo was my first love. His name was Pedro Moore. After graduation, he left without saying goodbye.

For this reason, I always took this photo with me to remind myself that I couldn't lose my mind in love

The reason why I chose to work at this company back then was that the boss looked like Pedro. That was all.

I casually put the photo in the drawer and continued to copy the work schedule of last week. Just like that, a day passed.

I sat there happily, waiting to get off work.

It was 16:58 now, two minutes to go before getting off work. Packing up my bag, I was ready to clock out at 17 p.m. and go home to eat!

Finally, the time had come. I was the first one to run out of the office. But Mr. Bright stopped me, saying, "Come to my office, Hollie Cox."

My face suddenly changed. I turned around and walked towards him sullenly.

"What can I do for you?" I looked at him with a smile.

"How do you do your job? Come with me!" After saying that, he went back to his office, and I followed him in confusion.

In the office, tension prevailed.

"Do me a favor?"

I was confused.

"I will pay you."

My eyes lit up.

"What's the matter? I'll go all out for it."

"Accompany me home for a meal?" Mr. Bright looked at me calmly and took a sip of coffee.

"A meal?"

"Yes, as my girlfriend," he said as he took out an envelope from the cabinet and handed it to me.

When I took the envelope, I felt a heavy weight. There was about 1667 dollars inside.

"Mr. Bright, don't worry. I'm good at acting." With that, I put the envelope in my bag.

"Let's go to the mall." After saying that, Mr. Bright picked up the car key.

"What for?"

"Let's go purchase clothes. Your outfit are not good enough."

He was questioning my taste in clothes. I subconsciously took a look at myself. Well, sure enough, it wasn't suitable to meet his parents with this outfit today.

I had no choice but to follow him to the mall. I thought to myself, "This meal is worth it. I can get both money and new clothes. It's so good!"

In this way, I disguised myself as a mature and perfect woman to be his fake girlfriend.

Soon, we arrived at his house. It was big villa, which dazzled me.

"Wow, Mr. Bright, you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth, right?"

"Watch your words." James looked at me fiercely before I shut my mouth obediently.

Mr. Bright pushed the door open. Dutifully, I took his arm and followed him into the mansion.

I looked around and found that everything was magnificent. Judging from that, his mother might not be easy to get along with. After all, many rich ladies were mean and harsh.

I heaved a long sigh of relief. Mr. Bright said, "Don't be nervous."

I nodded vigorously.

After a while, a woman dressed flamboyantly came into my sight. She looked to be in her sixties. I suddenly became so nervous. I didn't expect Mr. Bright's family to be so rich.

"Auntie Laura, this is my girlfriend, Hollie, and this is my aunt."

"Nice to meet you, Auntie Laura." As soon as I finished speaking, Laura enthusiastically grabbed my hand and said with a smile, "What a beautiful girl! You must be tired after a long journey. Come in with me."

As I walked, I looked back at Mr. Bright. He looked relaxed and indifferent.

I had no choice but to brace myself and follow Laura in.

As soon as I entered, dozens of people sat in the living room and looked at me in unison.

For the first time in my life, I was being watched by so many people...

Yes, Mr. Bright's relatives were all in place. I greeted them as I smiled stiffly. When they handed me generous gifts, I suddenly felt that I should have smiled more brightly. I kept turning them down. But they were too enthusiastic, so I had to accept the gifts and cash wrapped in envelopes.

After a while, Mr. Bright came to me and pulled me up, saying, "Don't you want to go to my room to have a look?"

I looked at the enthusiastic elders in the room and nodded. Then, I followed him to his room.

After closing the door, he looked at me expressionlessly. Feeling fearful, I said hesitantly, "Mr. Bright, I won't take these gifts afterward. Don't worry."

He just looked at me and continued, "It's okay. Take them. Do me another favor?"

Sure enough, there was no free lunch in the world.

"You will pretend to be with me for three months. Three months later, you will dump me mercilessly."

"What? So that you can avoid the blind dates in the future?"

"Yes."

"No problem. After all, I'm a helpful person." My mind was filled with the generous pay. After all, no one would go against money.

Now, I didn't have to confess my love to Mr. Bright. Instead, I got everything for free. That would be great!

"Thank you. I hope you can keep it a secret, or you'll have to bear the consequences yourself." Mr. Bright looked at me sharply.
