Fake boyfriend.
The word was like a thorn piercing her heart. She felt extremely uncomfortable.
Juliet took a deep breath and slowed her tone, "Mr. Payton, I know you're just pretending to be my
boyfriend, but I really need your help."
Looking at her pleading gaze, Payton softened. He pretended to ask carelessly, "Just to see your
father?"
His question meant that he intended to help her.
Juliet immediately smiled and said, "Yes, just to meet my dad."
Payton thought for a moment, and then he pretended to be indifferent, "Alright, I'll do it. After all, we
signed the contract."
Hearing that he agreed, Juliet heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled brightly and sincerely said, "Thank
you."
Payton raised his eyebrows and looked over her up and down. A hint of interest appeared in his eyes.
"Why are you so polite today?"
Hearing the teasing in his tone, Juliet snorted, "I'm just in a good mood today. Remember what you
promised me.”
She turned around and left the office.
Payton watched her walk out and smiled unconsciously. In fact, she was cute when she was being nice
to him.
During lunch, Juliet learned from Rosiley that the gossip about her and Payton had spread throughout
the company.
"How did it end up like that? Come on, we just entered the company together.” Juliet felt funny and
annoyed. People were so good at making up stories today.
Rosiley slowly ate a mouthful of food, then lifted her eyelids and looked at her, "Just entering the
company together?”
"What else could happen?" Juliet glanced at her angrily. "We just met outside and came in together."
“Then why did you have the same breakfast in your hands?" Rosiley asked.
Juliet shrugged her shoulders and said, "Come on, there are pancake stalls everywhere. We just
happened to buy the same ones.”
"Really?" Rosiley frowned, still not believing what she said.
Seeing that Rosiley didn't believe her, Juliet quickly changed the topic, "Alright, stop talking about this.
Tell me about the charity party of your husband's company."
If Rosiley knew that she spent a night at Payton's, she would definitely scold her for not having the
dignity as a girl.
However, Rosiley did not take her hint. Instead, she looked at Juliet inquiringly and her eyebrows
slightly knitted, "It seemed that you are not dressed in your style today.”
Juliet was wearing a cream-colored knitted cardigan with a floral dress underneath. Such lady-like
clothes were not her style at all.
"Why isn't it my style?" Juliet lowered her head and looked at her clothes. "Can't I try this
occasionally?"
Actually, she found these in Payton's wardrobe. To be honest, they were especially eye-catching
among the man's suits. She saw them at her first sight.
She was surprised to see women's clothes in his wardrobe. At the same time, she felt uncomfortable.
He put the woman's clothes in his wardrobe, which meant their relationship was not simple.
This really made her unpleasant, so she put them on without asking. She didn't know if Payton had
forgotten about these clothes or what.
Anyway, he didn't say anything when he saw her wearing them.
Rosiley carefully observed the expression on Juliet's pretty face. Seeing that she was deep in
contemplation, she knew that it was not that
simple.
But Juliet seemed reluctant to tell her the truth, so she wouldn't force her.
Therefore, Rosiley took her words and said, "Sure, you can try whatever style you want."
Hearing this, Juliet smiled and said, "I look good in these, don't I?"
Rosiley nodded and said, "That's true, but..." She raised her eyebrows ambiguously. "You shouldn't be
wearing it for me. You are waiting for someone else's praise."
"Rosiley!" Juliet, who was always careless, blushed and glared at her reproachfully.
Rosiley chuckled, "Alright, alright, let's end this topic.”
Juliet rolled her eyes and said, "Don't you say one more word."
Rosiley just smiled and didn't say anything.
They fell into a brief silence. After that, Juliet asked, "Will you attend the charity party?"
"Why not?" Rosiley responded by asking.
Juliet raised her eyebrows slightly, "So has your husband prepared a gown for you?"
"A gown?" Rosiley laughed, “I'm there to work, not to be a guest. Why should I wear a gown?”
Juliet was speechless.
It turned out that she was going to work. Juliet thought her husband had invited her to attend as a
distinguished guest.
"What about you? Are you going?" Rosiley took a sip of the soup and looked at her quizzically.
"Yes, my dad will be there too."
"Mr. Elton?” Rosiley was a little surprised. Considering how he usually was, she thought he didn't like
such a lively banquet.
"The charity party will be held in Benin City. No matter what, my father must be present.”
Rosiley thought for a moment, and then curled her lips, "That's right.”
Juliet said while eating, "I've got something to do tonight. Tomorrow I am going to pick up a gown. You
should come with me. By the way, ask Yayoi whether she will attend the party with Maddox. If she will,
then we can go to buy gowns together."
"Alright." Rosiley replied indifferently. Then, she seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of
interest flashed in her eyes.
"Juliet, are you going to the party with Payton or Mr. Elton?"
Juliet raised her head and looked at Rosiley, who was waiting for her answer excitedly. Juliet raised her
eyebrows slightly and said, "Of course my dad. Payton is not comparable to my dad."
"Really?" Rosiley smiled craftily. "Actually, you prefer to go with Payton, don't you?"
"Rosiley!” Juliet shouted in a low voice and glared at her discontentedly. Her fair cheeks flushed
slightly.
Rosiley laughed. She could see through Juliet with a glance. It was totally nonsense for her to say that
her dad was more important than Payton.
Juliet sighed as she saw Rosiley smiled proudly. "Rosiley, I know you are smart. But could you care a
little bit about my feelings?"
"Of course. But..." Rosiley paused for a moment. Then she shook her head and pretended to sigh, "I do
care, but I don't know whether he does."
"What?" Juliet failed to understand what she meant.
"You are going to the party with your father, so Payton will definitely find himself a date. Who do you
think he will turn to?"
