Chapter 3

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.
