All Chapters of Two fake identities : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

EVE'S POV In the evening of my third day at the Edwards Group, Daniel appeared at my desk when it was time to go home. I hadn't seen much of him for the past two days now, besides when we had lunch together. Part of it was because I was avoiding him actively. Even though Morgan had accepted my explanation about our relationship, I didn't want to risk another misunderstanding. The other reason was because we weren't in the same departments and were both busy at work.When he appeared, I was gathering my things, ready to leave. Most of my co-workers had already left."l came by to see if you want us to get off work together?", Daniel asked when he got to my desk.The request was innocent enough, I suppose. But I couldn't help thinking about the last time we had left the building together.When I hesitated, he added. "l haven't seen much of you these last couple of days, I was hoping to catch up. You can tell me about how you're getting along with work."I appreciate his concern, I r

EVE'S POV When Morgan didn't seem to pay attention to my plea, I grasped his arm and pushed it away. I was clearly only going to get out of this by having to."Just a sec" he said, his voice gentle. I went still as he reached up and touched my forehead, then wiped his palm over my skin. "You've got a bit of sweat here.""Oh" I mumbled, my face going hot. Was that it? He just wanted to wipe my forehead? He should have said so earlier. And here I was, getting wild ideas.MORGAN'S POV I could barely keep my lips from splitting into a wide grin. So maybe I enjoyed seeing her frazzled by my proximity a little too much. And I was also guilty of enjoying having her trapped in my arm a lot. But I couldn't help it, she was just too adorable.I half-expected her to keep pushing against me after I said I was wiping her sweat, but she didn't. Instead, she stilled and let me go ahead, her struggle gone. What had she thought I was going to do?."Are you done?" she asked after a few seconds, g

EVE'S POVI blanched at his words. ‘Get this out of the way?’ If somebody else had heard him, they would think he was talking about something like doing the dishes."I cannot have my wife do something as dangerous as participate in a drug trial" he said."Out there, everybody knows you are my wife. So if I have to act like a gangster to stop you from doing something stupid, I will”,A gangster? What does he mean?.His hand shot out again towards the zip of my dress. I held my hands in front of my self to stop his advance. "Okay, fine! I won't take part in the trial", I accepted my defeat.His eyes dug into me. "Are you only saying that so that I'll let you go?",Well, yes, I didn't like how he was acting, and I was going to say anything to get him to back off. "You're right, it was not the best idea. I will stop" I told him."If you're lying, I'll find out" he warned me.l glared at him silently but said nothing. I exhaled in big relief when he stepped back. What a day!***********

EVE'S POV When the assistant took back the shirt, I turned and headed towards where the two were standing. They stopped talking when they saw me approaching, but unfortunately for them, I had already heard everything."Excuse me, can you please stop mocking us? We came here to shop and it's quite unpleasant when you two are standing here making insulting remarks”, I said.The two exchanged a look, and then faced me. One of them frowned. "I'm sorry, what are you talking about?" She asked that with a confused expression, as if she truly had no idea what I was talking about.“l could hear you two clearly. So don't bother acting like you don't know what I'm talking about. Is this how you treat customers here?" I told them,"Customers are people who buy clothes here.You two are obviously just here to waste everybody's time. Look around and ask yourself if this looks like a store you should be in”, the other one said, not interested in playing pretend like her co-worker.I clenched my han

EVE'S POV Since the owner of the shop had appeared, I had been stuck in a stupor. When he showed up, I had expected him to inquire what was going on, and I was curious as to how Morgan was going to engage with him. But Instead, when the man appeared, he immediately took our side before listening to his staff's explanations. What followed, was him asking the staff to apologise to us, and firing them even shocked me further. Not to mention him saying that we could shop whatever clothes we wanted for free. It was all so unexpected.It wasn't until he left, after being curiously respectful towards Morgan, that I was able to snap out of my astonishment."What just happened?" I asked Morgan, looking up at him with wide eyes.He shrugged and shoved his hands into his trouser's pockets, looking relaxed. "I suppose he's really concerned about the store's reputation, so he solved the issue as quickly as he could",I nodded, but couldn't help frowning too. It's true that the owner was concern
