Noah stopped panting after running around the central parking for dozens of times. He took a sip of water and then sat down on one of the park bunches. He removed the air pod in his ear, his brain starting to think about Rachel's offer yesterday. An offer to pretend to be Rachel's fiance.Noah asked for time to think. He wasn't so sure about such a plan. It wouldn't be easy pretending to be the fiance of a famous supermodel like Rachel. All the light were probably going to be on him.He looked up at the skyscrapers in the distance. Suddenly he had an idea that might help him over come his curiosity. He picked up his cell phone, dialed Rachel."I have a counter offer, will you listen?" he said just as Rachel took the call. Rachel agreed and asked Noah to come to her penthouse even that day was his off day.Noah put the air pod back in his ears and continue to run down the sidewalk to Rachel's penthouse on the upper west side, that's only 0.5 miles from central park.His body was cover
"Rachel," Noah whispered, elbowing Rachel in the arm as a woman appeared not far in front of them. Rachel cleared her throat softly, then nodded at Noah.They walked side by side towards the woman as if they had accidentally bumped into her."Rachel!" Greta greeted as she saw Rachel. Hi, Gorgeous! How are you!" Rachel shrieked, moving her face forward to kiss Greta's right and left cheeks. "Excellent! How are?" Greta asked, her eyes shifted to Noah who was standing next to Rachel."Never better! Greta this is Noah, my fiance, Noah this is Greta Specter, the daughter of the famous painter Gabriel Specter whom you admire so much!" Rachel exclaimed cheerfully.Greta and Noah shook hands, "Do you admire my father's work? Because I didn't hahaha," she joked. But she was honest, she didn't like art at all, so it's a bit difficult for her to appreciate a work of art. Especially the absurd art work that her father relied on.Noah nodded with a beaming face "I admire your father's work, I hear
The next day Noah was was woken from his sleep by a phone call from Rachel which surprise him."Yes!" he snapped with a hoarse voice. "Noah! did you forget?;I have a photoshoot today!" Rachel chirped rapidly. Noah quickly opened his eyes and sat up straight. The digital clock on the nightstand showed 11:00 In the afternoon.Yesterday he and Rachel spent time in Coney island util 4:00, he forgot to set the alarm and ended up late."I will be there In fifteen minutes!" Noah said he jumped out the bed."Just go straight to the shooting location, I will go with someone else! next time you're late I will fire you!" call disconnected.Noah took a deep breath, then quickly ran to the bathroom.Fifteen minutes later Noah was in front of Rachel's penthouse,he was just about to call Rachel who was not far from him, but a man in tattared jeans and a white hoodie seemed to be chatting intensely with Rachel while occasionally stroking her golden brown hair.Noah had doubts about whether approach R
"Are you kidding me? I told you I don't want to get marry" Especially with the man of your choice! Besides, I already have a boyfriend!" Rachel shouted, her face full of anger. Next to him Noah was just observing and guessing in his head about what was going on."It's up to you guys to announce that ridiculous matchmaking! I would never have come there!" Rachel chirped again and then simply hung up the phone. Her breath hitched with anger."Your stepmother?" asked Noah casually. Rachel nodded in annoyance, "she's having an arranged dinner between me and uncle Arthur's son they're the family that lives in the same neighborhood with us! that crazy woman won't shop until I do what she wants! stupidly my father agreed because he was expecting grandson so badly," Rachel mumbled, throwing her eyes at the window."May I ask something?" said Noah without turning his head to Rachel who stared at him in wonder. "yes, what is that?""I have heard you say a few times that your father doesn't love
Rachel clear her throat loudly waking Noah who was suddenly nervous. "I'm going to get some bred up there," Noah said.Rachel nodded then slight awkwardly. "By the way, I have got an invitation to Greta Specter's birthday," Rachel muttered as she lifted the hot coffee from the table.Noah immediately tensed up,busy with Rachel's problems made him sometime forget his intentions to find out who his parents were."Greta! when?" we can go over to my house first, then fly back to New York for Greta's birthday," Rachel said casually.Noah nodded, "Okay, umm which jam do you like?" he asked, opening the drawer where he kept all the jam."Half strawberry half chocolate," Rachel answered impatiently, she was already starving. "Okay," Noah said as he spread the bread with a pensive face."You still the went to tell me about your purpose in coming into the Specter's residence?" Rachel asked with a probing look.Noah sighed, he put the toasted bread on the table then pulled the chair and set on
"That's not funny you know!" Rachel snapped a little nervously. Noah restrained himself from laughing louder "What I mean is, we should talk about our fake relationship," you don't want to look stupid when people ask us, do you?" murmured Noah more relaxed.Rachel cleared her throat, she took a glass of champagne and sipped slowly. "I have been thinking about that too, okay let's start from where we met, how we met and everything!" said Rachel after she got back her confidence.They spent thier time on the plane chatting about their plan. Now and then they appeared to be arguing over disagreement and after that they could laugh together, laughing at how distant people would think that they are real couple.Two hours later they were in a car heading to Elliot's residence. Noah looked very calm, while Rachel looked even more tenser."Are you sure about this?" Noah asked, while driving Rachel's rented car. "Really we are almost at my parents house and you are still asking that kind of qu
"Good evening everyone," Rachel greeted as she and Noah entered the dinning room where her father, her stepmother, Uncle Arthur, his wife and his son who looked quite handsome infact, were sitting and having small talk.All eyes looked up at Rachel and Noah with quite surprising faces. Rachel's stepmother didn't expect Rachel to take her words seriously when she said she was going to bring her fiance home."Rachel!" sit down! you didn't say you're being a friend!" shrieked Rachel's stepmother as she waved to the maid to prepare another seat."No, I have told you before but I'm sure you would have thought I was joking! and this isn't my friend, this is my fiance! Everyone, miximilian Schmidt," Rachel said with a proud face, she didn't know why she should be proud with this lie.Rachel's father stared disapproving. After all having a man on a matchmaking dinner night was impolite.Noah nodded politely to everyone. "Good evening everyone, sorry to interrupt your dinner," Noah said in an
"No you're!" snapped Rachel in disbelief. "What if I am, will you?" asked Noah looked at Rachel with serious face.Rachel gulped, she felt a little bit nervous but she quickly change the subject. "So how are we gonna do now?" asked her, one eyebrow raised. "Don't worry, there's no reason for your parents to decline me, they will agree then we can buy some time while funding the truth about your mother's accident, can we go to bed now? I'm so tired!" said Noah, stretching both of his arms.Rachel nodded, "yeah you're right let's go!" she finished her wine and rose from her seat. 'Go where? asked Noah, frowned. Rachel rolled her eyes, "Bed of course! you said you were exhausted!" she said while walking ahead of him.Noah just shrugged his shoulder as he followed Rachel though several hallways they finally arrived at Rachel's room.The atmosphere became very awkward when the two were already in the room. Rachel nervously removed her stilettos and stepped closer to the bed.Noah cleared h
