My Boss Took Me Instead: one suite, one bed, one pretend marriage

Playing husband and wife

The lie is business: the clients expect a married couple, so they get one. Sharing a suite turns the pretence into something neither of them can switch off.

It is a fake-relationship premise with a boss at its centre, and the husband's absence is what makes it possible.

Episodes 1 and 2

Free: the cancelled trip and the new plan. Episode 1 needs no account.

Episodes 3 to 5

Three locked stops at 12 tokens, while the deal and the pretence go on.

How explicit it is

Open shelf, suggestive, with a boss and employee who are both adults.

Gia Lockhart and the associate

Gia Lockhart, the executive running the trip, and the young associate who has to play her husband.

Our view

A neat fake-marriage set-up in a hotel, 36 tokens to finish. Good alongside Under the Boss for office stories.
