Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 73

I reached out and poked Kourtney's cheek. "Have you seen the post on the forum?"

Kourtney was surprised. "Aren't you the boss? Do you check the forum too?"

"Can't the boss check the forum?"

When Kourtney realized I had also seen the content of the post, her face immediately turned red. "It's obvious that someone made that up. Why would it be deleted otherwise? Besides, don't you know our relationship best?"

She shook her head, but when she noticed that I was smiling, she was taken aback.

"Alright, no one's making fun of you. When you went to my home previously, my parents were pleased with you. So, I have something to discuss with you."

I became serious, and Kourney's face turned redder.

"W-What is it?"

Kourtney didn't dare to look at me. She kept her head down as her hands clutched the hem of her clothes subconsciously. She seemed very nervous.

"Could you act as my girlfriend when I return home? I don't have any plans to be in a relationship for the time being, and I don't want to go on blind dates either. So, this is the only way I can think of. I can pay you a thousand dollars per visit. I can buy you things too. What do you think?"

Upon hearing my request, Kourtney slowly released her grip. "So, we'll be putting on an act."

"Yeah. You just need to put on an act in front of my parents. You don't need to at usual times."

When I was wondering if I should give Kourtney more benefits, she agreed.

"Alright, I'll do it. But you don't need to give me money. After all, I'm not paying you for rent." Kourtney winked at me and added, "It's a deal, then!"
