The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 30. Having it my way
LEO POV While Emily bathed in the bathroom, I kept thinking about how to avoid her. She was utterly distracting and being in the same room with her would lead to the inevitable. I swallowed hard and continued working on my laptop as she came out of the bathroom with her nightgown. I avoided her gaze as she looked at me and checked for a walk-in closet. I almost burst out into laughter when I noticed her screwed face when she wasn't looking. Then she left to get a glass of juice and it's been a few minutes but she had not showed up. I guessed she might be lost so I went out to get her. While I was coming down the stairs, I saw her peering through he window intently as if she would faint. Her eyes was painted with horror and she couldn't ear my footsteps as I approached her. "What are you looking at?" I asked her. "Good gracious!" she screamed and looked back through the window.

He could instantly tell that I was drunk so he ended the call.I pouted my lips and kept blabbing nonsense till he showed up at the police station."She's my wife," he said, rushing to my side and checking my temperature. "Damn it! You're such a pain in the ass," he yelled."She has to pay the parking violation and DWI fine. She might even be charged to court and lose her driver's license," the police officer said. "You promised to help me whenever I needed your help. You wouldn't dare do that to me," I replied and laughed.The police officer was the same man who had been helping me investigate Max's case. He stared at me with pitiful eyes and sighed."She must be facing a lot. I hope she gets peace someday," the police officer said and sighed once again.Leo glared at him as he spoke. He was confused about the situation as he held me while I rubbed my hair on his chest. I snuggled to him and placed my hands around his neck.

EMILY POV"What do you mean? I haven't been keeping any secrets from you," I said. My hands were jittery but I placed one over the other to calm my nerves."What case do you have with the police? The police officer knew you and even told me to inform you that they would keep working on 'your' case till the truth is revealed," he said, laying emphasis on the 'your' part.I instantly knew he was referring to Mr. Davis, the police officer who was always willing to come to my rescue and investigate Max's case."Oh! Mr. Davis is just a man who's good at his job. He helped me with my father's case," I lied and heaved a sigh of relief.He glared at me for a few seconds then left the room.

LEO POV "That's enough for today, Leo. You know that I do not stop you from spending more hours to finish up but this has to stop. You can't bury yourself into work for no reason. It's midnight already," Jude said, snatching a document from me. "I think you're forgetting I'm the boss so I get to call the shots," I replied gawking at his face as he burst into laughter. "You're the boss and I'm your executive assistant and secretary who's also your friend. My job is to ensure that you live a balanced life which is the opposite of what you're living right now," he responded. "So what do you want me to do? Leave all these tasks for another day until it piles up and I get discouraged?" I asked. "What are you avoiding? Scratch that. Who are you avoiding?" he asked sitting on the chair opposite my table. "Why would I avoid anyone? I'm Leo Robbins, the most perfect guy in all NYC," I replied with an air of pride. "What about Emily? You didn't say anything about her all day nor did you a
The Fake Marriage To My Worst Nightmare 35. Stopping a wildfire rumor
LEO POVEmily’s face was downcast when I walked into her office. She raised her face which showed that she had cried a little bit. Jude ordered everyone to vacate the vicinity of Emily’s office so as to give us privacy. I gasped as I stared at her.“Explain yourself!” I yelled at her.“I don’t know what to say. Whoever made that video must be out to get me because I never kissed your brother,” she replied calmly.“So the video was edited? It was clear that you two were having an intimate kiss,” I replied.“The angle of the video made it seem that way. Nothing happened. I’d never cheat on you,” she cried.“And you think I’ll believe you. Whenever you’ve made trouble, you’ll shed some crocodile tears and expect that I’ll forgive and forget. Guess what?! You’ll pay dearly for this particular one.
