The Other Apartment

Lucas drove as fast as he could towards the apartment in the city which was set up for an emergency like this. Lillian was still not willing to tell her parents about the fake marriage and hence, it was decided between them that one of Lucas' properties would be a dummy flat for her in case her parents needed to meet her.

Lillian was inwardly praying that her mother would not be out in front of the building. She was carrying Peanut in her arms because the dog was barking to accompany her and Lillian did not want to leave her alone on her first day.

"Do you have to take that with you?" Lucas asked warily, indicating at the dog.

"Peanut wants to be with me," Lillian stated. "You see, she adores me. Unlike some people who are busy with sexy girls."
