No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 141



At dusk, I waited at a quaint little café downtown.

While I was on my second cup of coffee, my date from the blind setup finally showed up. The guy wasn't overweight or balding, and his crisp, sky- blue shirt was neither wrinkled nor greasy. He matched his profile to a T.

I didn't get catfished, but his being late knocked a few points off his first impression. Not that it mattered much. I wasn't looking to date him. I only needed a stand-in boyfriend to get my nosy coworker, Conrad, off my back.

"Sorry for being late," he apologized with polished manners.

"It's fine. I'm not here for a date. I'm looking to hire a boyfriend," I laid my cards out on the table.

He paused, shocked. "Hire a boyfriend?"

"Yes, I'm not interested in a real relationship right now, but I need a boyfriend to deal with a situation," I explained further.

He went silent, and I thought he might be offended, so I added, “I'll pay you."
