Alex’s scalp itched when he thought about how he would have to deal with Jessica’s aunts, who wereobviously into gossiping.
“Just a few people. All my uncles and aunts from my mother’s side of the family, my cousins, some oldfriends from the village… It’d probably be a party that fills about twenty dining tables. Oh, and I heardthat my grandma’s mentor will bring her family over as well,” replied Jessica nonchalantly.
“That is a lot. Will they badger me with countless questions? Will they figure out that I am a fake?”asked Alex. He suddenly felt a headache coming.
He would never have agreed to go if he had known that Jessica was only inviting him to the party to bethe cannon fodder.
“Mr. Jefferson, my grandma is seventy years old. If you think about it, she’s bound to have met a lot ofpeople, and naturally, her kids would have kids of their own already too. Hence, the number ofattendees isn’t really that alarming,” explained Jessica in exasperation.
Seriously, is it really that difficult to be a fake boyfriend?
I am the one whose reputation in my traditional family is at stake here. So what is he so scared? If themanagers in the company learn about this, they will mock and laugh their butts off.
Alex was exasperated. That was actually a pretty tough job for him.
“Oh, by the way, Mr. Jefferson, my aunts will definitely ask you about your age, your upbringing, andyour career. How do you plan to answer them?” asked Jessica suddenly.
“Err… I’ll just talk sh*t. It’s fine as long as it’s not too far–fetched, right?” replied Alex after thinkingthings through.
“Okay, if they ask about your job, just tell them that you work at Four Seas Corporation… Don’t say thatyou are the chairman’s driver, though.”
Jessica was tempted to laugh aloud when she thought about how Alex had told Heather that he wasthe chairman’s driver.
The funniest bit, however, was that the Jenningses actually bought his lie!
“Should I just say that I am a manager?” asked Alex.
“Umm…” Jessica thought about it for a while before answering, “Yeah, sure. Just tell them you’re amanager or they will discriminate against you.”
Jessica knew her family too well. Most of them were snobbish, and she knew that they woulddiscriminate against Alex if he told them that he was just an ordinary employee.
They reached the village soon after. The road was jammed up with all the cars parked along there.
“That’s my grandma’s house right there,” informed Jessica as she pointed ahead.
The house was huge. Alex heard that Jessica’s great–grandpa owned a large piece of land and built ahouse there. The house had since been renovated multiple times as it passed down from an heir toanother. Alex stared at the house through the windshield. The place was lively. There were people whowere there

“Let’s just walk over,” suggested Jessica when the traffic wouldn’t budge even after they waited for along while.
“Sure,” replied Alex as he nodded. The car was parked some distance away.
After that, the duo made their way to the vicinity of Jessica’s grandma’s front yard.
Alex couldn’t help feeling nervous when he saw that many people around.
That was the first time Alex had to deal with a situation like that. He felt like he was about to receive acapital punishment when he thought about how he had to deal with Jessica’s aunts.

“You know, Jessica, I am so perfect that the other rich brats may seem dull when compared to me. Yourgrandma and mom won’t force us to get married or something, will they?” joked Alex.novelbin
