b : Hey C! Does that girl who is your friend has boyfriend?
c : No, she doesn't
c : hey E, someone asked me if you had boyfriend. lol
e : really!? who?
//after that A chatted to E
and E told A "someone ask me 'do I have boyfriend?'"
A told me she said "someone ask me 'do I have boyfriend?'"

Someone asked me if I had a boyfriend.
(but nobody asked E in your example, so:)
Someone wanted to know if I had a boyfriend.

'have' can be used too, but in this case 'had' is better.

A asked (past) if that girl had (past) a boyfriend, and B said (past) he would ask (future in the past) a friend that knew her.
B asked (past) if the girl had (past) a boyfriend, and C answered (past) that she didn't (past).
C told (past) E that someone had asked (past perfect) him if she had (past) a boyfriend, and she replied (past) by asking (prepositional participial phrase) who it was (past).
