Kasie weren’t Debbie’s friend, Carlos would have already asked Emmett to get rid of her.
But the problem was that Kasie was one of Debbie’s best friends, and
Carlos did what his wife wanted. Emmett had no idea whether his boss would punish Kasie or not.
He just wanted to frighten Kasie using Carlos.
After shesitation, Kasie argued, “I don’t care. Debbie will help me.”

His words did make sense. Kasie had called Debbie countless times, but her phone had been switched off.
She pried, “Will you put in a good word for me?” Little did she know that Emmett was unable even to fend for himself.
“Of course!” Emmett promised without hesitation.
“Great. Okay. You can take a picture of me. By the way, why do you want my pic?” she asked in confusion
Emmett told Kasie honestly, “I’m really fed up with blind dates. I can’t stand them anymore. I’ll send my father your pic and tell him we’re dating. Then at stin the future, I’ll tell him we’ve broken up. Sounds good?”
“Get bent! You think I’m that desperate?”
Emmett stared at her, eyes wide. He really knew next to nothing about women.
“But I’m not asking you to be my girlfriend. It’s just… Ah screw it! Nyour price,” he offered, resignedly
“Well, you buya bunch of roses, a handbag and sclothes. Do that, and you won’t just get my pic, but we can take selfies together.
Way more convincing. Okay?”
‘What?! That’s sserious tand money! This woman’s gone too far!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI’d rather find a boyfriend who can support me, ‘ Emmett cursed inwardly. But the more he thought about it, the better it sounded—
Kasie’s demands, not the boyfriend part. Maybe then his dad would get off his case. Despite his thoughts, he said through gritted teeth,
“Deal! You’re Debbie’s friend, after all. I just need to make sarrangements and pay the bill here. Then we’ll go to the mall.”
He called the IT manager and assigned stasks to him before leaving the cafe with Kasie.
After they arrived at Shining International Plaza, Kasie led Emmett to a store, picked up a handbag which she’d had her eye on for a long time, and put it in Emmett’s hands.
“Just buy this. I don’t need roses or clothes.”
The handbag stood out because of its strange shape. Emmett was a Little shocked by Kasie’s taste, but said nothing. He needed this, so he just went along with whatever she wanted. He took it to the cashier’s desk, and much to his surprise, it only cost him around $200, @00. He had thought it would cost more than 1 million dollars.
Then he went back to Kasie and handed the well-packed handbag to her.
