Alex’s scalp itched when he thought about how he would have to deal with Jessica’s aunts, who were obviously into gossiping. 

“Just a few people. All my uncles and aunts from my mother’s side of the family, my cousins, some old friends from the village… It’d probably be a party that fills about twenty dining tables. Oh, and I heard that 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 be the cannon fodder. 

“Mr. Jefferson, my grandma is seventy years old. If you think about it, she’s bound to have met a lot of people, and naturally, her kids would have kids of their own already too. Hence, the number of attendees isn’t really that alarming,” explained Jessica in exasperation. 

Seriously, is it really that difficult to be a fake boyfriend?

Jessica was tempted to laugh aloud when she thought about how Alex had told Heather that he was the 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 a manager or they will discriminate against you.” 

Jessica knew her family too well. Most of them were snobbish, and she knew that they would discriminate 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 a house there. The house had since been renovated multiple times as it passed down from an heir to another. Alex stared at the house through the windshield. The place was lively. There were people who were there
