27| When Fake Turned Into Something Much More Real

Emily's Pov:

Like the speed of the Flash, I rushed to the washroom. I couldn't say the same for when I wanted to get out immediately as I forgot to bring night clothes with me to change into. I closed my eyes to hide my embarrassment for those last words I said to Edward and that bloody chauvinistic exit.

Peeking out of the door, I saw Edward talking to Miranda about some files he might have misplaced and I took this opportunity to slide out of the door, almost quickly dancing in relief that I was still fully clothed in my dress, most strangely, still wearing my heels.

Opening the closet, I started to dig through my clothes to find something appropriate to wear when my eyes fell on something wrapped beautifully. It was a gift from Mia for my birthday. I tore up the decoration like a vampire and my eyes sparkled to see a totally new collection of Cadbury chocolates, all wrapped in a red paper.

Unwrapping the first bar, I put it in my mouth and moaned at its delicious texture melted like silk in my mouth. I continued devouring the chocolate while still searching for clothes when I heard the doorbell ring. I quickly looked at Edward to see him staring at me, both of our eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

Who could it be at such an hour? It was almost 2'o clock!

A minute later, Miranda came to inform us that a certain lady named 'Linda' had come here to stay for the night and before we could ask any questions about how the hell it was even possible, Linda found it extremely useful to make her presence known and inform us of the reason personally.

"How are you, Mr and Mrs Jones?"

Words rolled out of her mouth more as a challenge and less as a greeting!

When we didn't say anything, both me and Edward too busy in our thoughts about how we were going to survive the trap without getting caught, she smiled at us triumphantly.

"I am sorry, Sir but recently, due to my carelessness, my house burned down rather brutally and I asked Mrs Jones for help when she, as a kind-hearted lady as she is, asked me to stay at your home for one night while she returns from her business trip next week! But don't worry about me, Sir, I would try my best not to disturb this beautiful night for you!"

Translation : I'd try my very best and would willingly sacrifice every bone of my body just to spy on you while you two play a game of hide and seek with me!

I bit down and chewed my chocolate like an anaconda to show her my annoyance while Edward just nodded at her and went back to his work. I slammed the door shut in her face, after giving her the brightest smile ever.

"Good night, Miss Linda! I hope you are well received in our house with every care possible!"

And you'll get that special care after I break your fucking ovaries and throw them off in gutter!

"What the fucking hell, Edward! What'd we do now?!"

He looked up at me and sighed loudly.

"Calm down Lily! It's not that she'll-"

"Calm down?! Seriously? How can you be so cool and composed-"

He put a hand over my mouth, pressing it firmly over my lips while shaking his head at my voice.

"Shh! Be silent, otherwise, we'll be caught even before we do anything out of normal! Just trust me and we'll sort this out!"

"But-"

"I told you, just trust me!"

I looked at his serious expression and decided he indeed had a good plan to back all this up. Nodding silently, I went back on collecting my clothes to go wash myself up when a hand shot down to wrap around my wrist, twisting it gently.
