Determined to survive her father’s birthday dinner, Lara hired Jake, a charming and understanding fake boyfriend.
Jake played along with their fabricated relationship story, impressing Lara’s family with his grace and humor at dinner.
During dessert, Jake surprised everyone with a heartfelt toast to Lara, revealing his true feelings:
“I’d like to propose a toast,” Jake said, his eyes meeting Lara’s.
Firstly, to the man of the evening, happy birthday, sir!
May this new chapter bring you all the joy you deserve.”
