Chapter 2704
Jefferson had a straight face but did not say anything more upon seeing that his son had agreed to his
arrangement. “Tomorrow at 3:00 p.m., I’ll arrange for you two to meet.”
The next day, in a high-end restaurant…
James stepped into the private room wearing sunglasses. Seeing that there was no one there, he took off his
sunglasses. “What the hell is going on here? Is she kidding me?”
‘Since she can’t even be punctual, then there’s no need for me to wait for her.’
James turned around and was about to leave, but a woman appeared out of nowhere behind him, shocking him.
The woman had a neat shoulder-length haircut and wore a white low-necked silk gown, a printed blue silk scarf, and
a pair of loose straight-fit jeans. Her attire looked simple and clean as she did not have any extra jewelry on, apart
from a watch and a crocodile leather handbag.
James was stunned for a moment. “You…”
‘She looks rather familiar.’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Aren’t you going in?” The woman walked past him and entered the private room.
James returned to his senses and hurried in. “Have we met somewhere? You look quite familiar.”
Giselle pulled out the chair, sat down, and did not answer his question directly. “I know that the other party
attending this blind date is you, so I’ve come to talk to you.”
James stared at her, trying to think where he had met her before this.
‘It seems like somewhere last year?’
“Mr. Tell, don’t you want to sit down?”
James took his seat and crossed his arms. “Is this the attitude that you should have when you’re here on a blind
date? Are you here on a blind date or a business meeting with me?”
Giselle scoffed. “Otherwise, what kind of attitude do you expect from me? Most people attending a blind date don’t
come willingly, do they?”
Seeing that she was quite a self-aware woman, James cleared his throat. “That’s right. I wouldn’t even be here if
my father hadn’t been pushing me so hard.
“Then allow me to give it to you straight. I don’t expect to get myself a date out of this meal. I only need someone
who can coax my father. It’ll be even better if you can fool him into believing that we’ve gotten together after this.
You’re a smart woman, so you should know what I mean.”
“You’re asking me to work with you and pretend to be your girlfriend to fool Mr. Tell, am I right?”
“Yes, exactly.” James nodded.
‘It seems that this woman isn’t too dumb at all.’
Giselle leaned back in the chair. “That’s exactly what I aim to get out of today.”
James was a little confused.
“I need a fake husband. We don’t have to make our marriage public. I only need my family to know about it. As for
our marriage certificate, I can get someone to forge it for us.

“As for you, all you need to do is go home with me and have dinner with my family from time to time. Apart from
that, you can do whatever you want during the rest of the time. Oh, one more thing, you can’t have any scandals
with other women within these three years.”
James was slightly taken aback. “A… A fake husband?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe nodded without any hesitation.
James laughed out loud abruptly. “Why would you come to me if what you want is a fake hus-”
“Aren’t you an actor?”
“Uhh…” He was utterly speechless.
Giselle propped her hand against the side of her forehead and gave off a faint smile. “Otherwise, why would I have
come to meet you? You’re an actor, which just meets my requirements. Playing a fake husband will give you room
to showcase your skills.”
The corner of James’ lips twitched. “How could you sound so contemptuous?”
“If I can have your word, I’ll try my best to help the Tells in the future. You can consider this a cooperative
relationship. So, what do you say?”
James narrowed his eyes. “Who knows if you’re trying to fool me? If this is indeed a scheme, won’t I stay married
for the rest of my life?”
Giselle took a deep breath and took a contract out of her handbag as if she had anticipated this outcome.
“The terms listed in this contract are legally valid. If you worry that I’ll make a fool out of you, we can sign this
contract that will be in effect for three years. After that, we’ll both go back to being single.” James had nothing to
say because she had even prepared the contract.
