He was hired to be her fake boyfriend... just until HR stops investigating her "relationship with a subordinate."
Marla is a no-nonsense HR supervisor who's tired of dealing with petty office gossip. When rumors spark that she's secretly dating her charming (but harmless) trainee, she decides to shut it down with an outrageous lie:
"I already have a boyfriend. And he works here."
Unfortunately, she points at Rico, the last person she meant to involve-an IT guy who always wears anime socks and once spilled coffee on her resignation letter (long story).
To keep HR off her back, Rico agrees to pretend to be her boyfriend... for a price:
"In exchange, you have to help me get my ex to notice me."
But as they fake hand-holding, lunchtime dates, and chatty elevator rides, the line between pretending and feeling becomes dangerously thin.
Are they still faking it... or have they become almost official?
