章 75: Fake Date

"You want me to what?" Aiden asked his boss doubtfully over the phone.

"You said your neighbor is an actress. I am in need of her services tonight for an event. All she has to do is smile, nod, and look pretty on my arm and I'll give her $5,000 for her trouble," Aaron said loftily.

"Do you know which neighbor I was talking about?! She's Keeley's roommate! What if she finds out?"

"I'll have her sign a nondisclosure agreement and threaten to sue. Simple."

Aiden ran a hand through his copper hair with exasperation. "You're seriously going to pay someone else to be your date? Why not just ask Keeley?"

Aaron's voice was cold. "She has a paper to write. She'd say no."

He sighed. There was no reasoning with this ice block. He was sure Jennica would jump at the chance for a paid acting gig but still…this was risky.

"I'll ask her and call you back."
