My Boss Suddenly Announced Me as His Girlfriend, I Was Panicked
Chapter 3
There would be a social dance at the gala, and one needed to bring a male or female partner to attend together.
She lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, reaching out to lightly flick the stray hair by her ear.
Eagerly, she said, "You don't have a female companion yet, and I haven't found a male companion either. How about I be your date tomorrow night?"
It was a typical plot in idol dramas, where a wealthy young woman played tricks to pursue a handsome CEO.
According to the normal process of the company, the invitation letter must have been sent more than a week ago.
I assumed Matthew's invitation letter was intercepted by Eva.
She wanted to give him when the gala was around the corner so as to catch him off guard.
Matthew still maintained a distant attitude. "No need, I have already found one."
He refused decisively without any hesitation at all.
Clearly, he left her with no hope at all.
But Eva not only didn't understand but also became anxious. Her face sank, and she frowned.
"You just received the invitation, and you don't have a girlfriend. How is that possible?"
She stamped her foot and said in an affected voice.
Back in the conference room, she looked like a professional, intellectual businesswoman. But now, she was like a completely different person.
Who knew? Eva was actually so good at speaking in an affected voice.
It combined with her gentle voice.
Together, they created an impressive effect.
Matthew was annoyed. He impatiently said in a cold tone, "Who told you I don't have a girlfriend?"
Oh, I guessed Eva didn't do a background check on him.
I stood aside, bowing my head and staring at the shiny floor, secretly enjoying the show.
Due to professional needs, I was always also sensitive to trending topics. I was always a professional.
It was just that I never expected that one day, a dramatic event would happen to me, an insignificant worker.
"She is my girlfriend."
I was dumbfounded.
I watched as Matthew reached out his hand toward me, and in the next second, he grabbed my arm and pulled me into his embrace.
I felt his broad, strong palm on my waist, and through the thin polyester fiber, I could feel his warm body temperature.
My waist was a sensitive spot.
I felt like I was going crazy.
He whispered in my ear, "Just five seconds."
My ears were also a sensitive spot.
Heat went all over my body quickly, and my face instantly turned red.
Thanks to my fair and rosy complexion inherited from my mother, and the warm lighting in the corridor, no one noticed that I was blushing.
I tried to calm down as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, I quickly analyzed the current situation.
One thing I knew for sure was that although Eva was Matthew's client, he wasn't afraid of offending her.
Felicia wore a wedding ring on her ring finger, and I was the only woman in the group.
So, I should be seen by Matthew as a tool to make his suitor give up.
It was fine.
It was not easy to find a job these days, let alone a high-paying job.
I was OK to be a fool. I was even willing to bring him coffee and pastry if needed.
After I thought it through, looked up and smiled at the stunned Eva, saying, "Yes, I am Matthew's girlfriend."
See? I reacted so quickly. I was so smart. As I said that, I tilted my head slightly toward Matthew and gave her a triumphant look.
Since I was used as a tool, I might as well be a good one. Making her give up for good would be good for both her and Matthew.
I believed that Matthew would appreciate smart employees like me who could think outside the box.
I needed to seize this opportunity to show my value in front of Matthew as much as possible.
Come on, Diana! You can do this!
Sure enough!
