Chapter 19

The next morning, I awoke to the constant ringing of my phone. I pulled up a blanket while yawning. Then I looked at the screen of my phone, and it was Dova calling me.

I hastily lifted the phone to my ear.

"Suri, please. I've been trying to call you, why didn't you wake up?"

I was surprised by the tirade and spontaneously moved the phone from the ear. Then I put my phone back in my ear. "Yes, I'm sorry, Dova," I murmured very quietly.

"Are you ready?" asked Dova with emphasis. "I'm already in the car."

"Yes, I'll be there in five minutes."

"And don't forget," the boy continued. "We'll act as a couple. Husband and wife."

I suddenly remembered Dova's words last night. Oh, that was the plan!

"Anyway, your appearance should match our cover," he added

I nodded, and then before I could answer it, he disconnected the phone. I exhaled for a moment, then cleaned up in a hurry.
