Prologue
"Take it this way if we get married my mother will stop nagging me on getting married while your parents cannot force you to be engaged to someone you don’t know. Sounds good enough?" Ben convinced her.
"This is temporary right?” Courtney retracted her hand when she realized it.
“Yup, let’s say one year then we will divorce and you’ll get the money upfront.” Ben suggested.
“I don’t need the money, I have a job remember? The only thing I’m still on this table and not slapping you is because you’re my cousin’s friend and I want to help you too.” She speaks with full dignity.
"I got the best part on that that you are up for my proposal." Ben stated.
“I-- yes?" Courtney answered with questioning tone.
“Yes!” Ben hollered making few staff and people in the café looked their way.
“Don’t celebrate yet, we have a lot of things to discuss. For starter, my parents basically don't know you plus they know I have a boyfriend overseas which I don’t really have." She partly said the truth.
It was like a full blast of cold air hit her since that was her exact words with her parents. A total lie but now it is a reality minus the name of guy and that Ben didn’t knew it was him she was referring to as the overseas boyfriend.
