I knocked his door as he murmured a small come in. As I entered his office he quickly locked it and dragged me with him. He was looking worried and nervous at the same time, some emotions I never expected by him.

"What happened sir? " I asked him

"Listentomecarefullymymothejustcalled meandshewantsustohaveafamilydinner"He said

'The fuck'

"Sir can you please repeat again and little bit slowly" I asked as he inhaled deeply.

"Listen to me carefully my mother just called me and she wants us to have a family dinner" He sighed

My eyes widened in shock and I gasped he looked at me with sympathy as he already knew what I was going to ask him.

"What will we say when she asks us how we met, where we met, fell in love and other questions "I asked him still trying to register his words.

"That's why I called you so that we can prepare for mom's questions" He said

He grabbed my arm as I took a seat near his chair and we both started to prepare for the questions.

"If mom asked us how we met, we can say that you were my employee I started liking you then we dated, i proposed you and we got married" He asked hoping for a reply.

After preparing a bunch of lies we both were ready with our answers and let me tell you he is a terrible liar, most of the time I was telling him what to say and reply if she asked any question. Right now I am trying to call him by his name as I am not used to it.

"Okay for today let's act as true husband wife and for today you will call Asher "
He told me.

We both got to know each other as we are asking random questions and I am the one who is asking questions like favorite food, birthday, the day we will say we met but he is asking favorite color, animal or do I have boyfriend.

Like seriously he expect his mom to have a 'who knows whom better' contest or what. His mom won't be like 'okay so tell me what's my son's favorite color and animal or you both are getting divorced'.
Or either 'I don't mind you having a boyfriend but my son will have a girlfriend too'.

We both attended meetings as started getting ready for the dinner. The whole ride to his home was silent. As soon as we reached I was engulfed in a tight hug.

"Finally, I was waiting to meet you for so long " Mrs Knight said in a sweet yet excited way.

"Mom you know I am here too" He scowled while his mom totally ignored him and dragged me inside.

During the whole dinner we were asked several questions we knew she was going to ask us. I don't know why but I knew something is wrong. His mom is a very sweet lady and his dad too, when I told them I am orphan they hugged me and told me that I can call them mom and dad.

When this deal ends I'll surely miss them but nothing can change the reality. Suddenly Mr. Knight asked us if I am still working for sir and to my surprise sir answered that question in a way so that his mom believed u.

There were many funny moments in between as Mrs. Knight told me how sir always threatened them to leave forever whenever she wouldn't give him chocolates. That was actually funny because Mr. Knight recorded it and I watched.

We were almost done with our food and ready to leave when Mrs Knight interrupted us.

" You two are so cute, so when will you make me a grandmother"
Mrs. Knight said while clapping happily

And with that sir chocked on his food, I chocked on water and Mr. Knight started coughing as we looked at Mrs. Knight with disbelief.

"Relax I was just joking" She said as we sighed in relief and drank water as we were still coughing.

"I actually planned a honeymoon for you both" She said again clapping her hand happily.

And this time we all spit out water at the same time and looked at Mrs. Knight so that she can tell us that this a joke.

"No it's not a joke" She said as if she read our mind.
