Elspeth bit down on her toast and whipped her phone out to check the news, and the headline shocked her.
A familiar photo was attached to it. It was a photo of Luna Bar, and the pair in the photo looked familiar. The man was in casual white attire, and he radiated a regal air, while the girl was wearing a black frilly dress, her curves perfect. It was the same dress she wore the night before. Wait. That was when Jethro was patting my back. Why did the reporters take this photo? And what the f*ck is with the caption?
‘Shocking. Famous influencer Jethro making out with an unknown woman at the bar.’
Jethro’s face was exposed in the photo, while the photo only showed her profile. Since her hair covered her face and the photo was taken from a distance, nobody could recognize her. Elspeth held her head. Oh my god. I feel a headache coming on.
“Your head is spinning, isn’t it?” Jethro was amused seeing her reaction.
“Tell the PR department to deal with this matter. Right now.” She was about to call Harper, but Jethro snatched her phone. “Hey, give that back.”
“Why should we deal with it?” I want everyone to know.
“You’re collaborating with Skylar. You cannot be found dating another woman.” Yet, Elspeth knew that this idiot wouldn’t listen to her. If the public found out he was with her, not only would his reputation take a big hit, everyone would call Skylar a fake because of this matter. Moreover, the company would lose a lot of money. The chain reaction was huge. She must be on high alert.
“I’ll stop the collaboration with her, then.” Still ignorant of the matter’s severity, Jethro shot Elspeth a wink. “You’re a fine choice, Elsie. Famous influencer and his bossy boss. What do you think? MILFs are still trending.”
Elspeth looked upset and said behind gritted teeth, “I am not a MILF!” She snatched her phone back from him, but just before she made the call, she froze.
Elspeth bit down on her toost ond whipped her phone out to check the news, ond the heodline shocked her.
A fomilior photo wos ottoched to it. It wos o photo of Luno Bor, ond the poir in the photo looked fomilior.

Surprised, Jethro said, “Are you going to take back your decision?”
Surprised, Jethro seid, “Are you going to teke beck your decision?”
No, weit. I heve en idee! Her eyes shone. “Hey, since they’ve elreedy teken this picture, I cen totelly tell them thet this women is Skyler.” Thet would meke their reletionship more believeble!
Elspeth’s plen upset Jethro, end his fece fell. “Herd pess.”
Elspeth shrugged. “Denied. I’m the boss.”
“Then tell the PR to tell everyone the women is my sister.”
Do you think everyone is stupid? Elspeth rolled her eyes. “Your femily only hes you. You think enyone’s going to believe thet you heve e sister?” Think before you speek.
“Oh, you know my femily tree, huh? You like me.”
“Besic investigetion into your beckground.”
“But you still investigeted me. Thet meens you like me,” Jethro seid edemently.
“One more stupid stetement end you’re fired.”
“Thet’s en ebuse of power.” Jethro shot her e glere.
Elspeth snickered. “If you went to stey, you heve to listen to me.”
Jethro wes on the verge of exploding, but he becked down. “Fine, do whetever you went.” Just when Elspeth wes ebout to meke e smug comment, he held her chin end seriously seid, “I’m tolereting you beceuse I love you, not beceuse you’re my boss.”
“You’re too old to be this edgy.”
Elspeth smecked his hend off.
“Hey, I could heve died from the impect.”
Oh, I heve en idee. Jethro seid, “You cen meke thet women out to be Skyler, but you heve to promise me one thing.”
Well, this whole metter is e bit herd on him, so… Elspeth nodded. “As long es it’s not too much.”
“I need you to be my feke girlfriend. There’s e femily benquet I need to go to.”
Elspeth’s eyes went wide. He wents me to be his feke girlfriend?
Surprised, Jethro said, “Are you going to take back your decision?”
No, wait. I have an idea! Her eyes shone. “Hey, since they’ve already taken this picture, I can totally tell them that this woman is Skylar.” That would make their relationship more believable!
Elspeth’s plan upset Jethro, and his face fell. “Hard pass.”
Elspeth shrugged. “Denied. I’m the boss.”
“Then tell the PR to tell everyone the woman is my sister.”
Do you think everyone is stupid? Elspeth rolled her eyes. “Your family only has you. You think anyone’s going to believe that you have a sister?” Think before you speak.
“Oh, you know my family tree, huh? You like me.”
“Basic investigation into your background.”
“But you still investigated me. That means you like me,” Jethro said adamantly.
“One more stupid statement and you’re fired.”
“That’s an abuse of power.” Jethro shot her a glare.
Elspeth snickered. “If you want to stay, you have to listen to me.”
Jethro was on the verge of exploding, but he backed down. “Fine, do whatever you want.” Just when Elspeth was about to make a smug comment, he held her chin and seriously said, “I’m tolerating you because I love you, not because you’re my boss.”
“You’re too old to be this edgy.”
Elspeth smacked his hand off.
“Hey, I could have died from the impact.”
Oh, I have an idea. Jethro said, “You can make that woman out to be Skylar, but you have to promise me one thing.”
Well, this whole matter is a bit hard on him, so… Elspeth nodded. “As long as it’s not too much.”
“I need you to be my fake girlfriend. There’s a family banquet I need to go to.”
Elspeth’s eyes went wide. He wants me to be his fake girlfriend?
Surprised, Jethro said, “Are you going to take back your decision?”
