The next day... "I'm done with the first draft! Finally!" Emma excitedly announced, after she presses the save button on her laptop. It took her five agonizing hous to finish her first draft, but it went well in the end. After printing the article, she quickly went to her bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. Afterwards, she changed from her pajamas to her everyday clothes. After she printed her article, she quickly brewed another fresh cup of coffee. As she's waiting for the coffee to boil, she hurriedly went to the bathroom to do a quick shower. With a light feeling and happy mood, Emma went towards the dining room to join her family for breakfast. "Good morning, everyone!" she chirped at the people at the table. "Good morning, dear sister! Looks like you're in a good mood today, huh?" Emilie smilingly greeted her. "Yeah! Where's Dad and Mom?" Emma curiously asks, as she realized that her sisters Emilie and Emilia are the only ones at the table. "Oh, they were out early to visit Gramps and Gamma... By the way, did you have yesterday with Darren Hayes? " Emilia inquired, while giving her a knowing smile. "Wait, I know that kind of smile... What do you really want to say, girls?" Emma inquired, while shaking her head. "How is it like being kissed by your Prince Charming?" Emilia asked right away. Emma was taken by surprise with her sister's question. "Wait a minute... How did you know about that?" she interrogated the two. "Well, in case you have forgotten, we have security cameras at our front gate. Emilia and I saw everything." relayed Emilie, while giggling. Emma feels like she'd blushing from head to toe while her sisters are giggling. "Stop laughing! It was just on the cheek!" she said, in a defensive manner. Even her siblings believes that she and Darren are a real couple, and she's been constantly teased by them. If they only know what's really going on between them, Emilie and Emilia wouldn't be acting like this. But for now, she needs to finish her undercover mission, get the promotion that she's been dreaming about, and next, end her "romantic relationship" with Darren Hayes and move on with her life... At the same time, she feels a bit sad at the thought of ending her "relationship" with Darren. Oh, well. They both gained something from their pretend relationship, so she shouldn't be feeling sad about it... ==================================== After a few days... Emma is all alone at "The Chronicle" office inside their school building, while working on her third and final draft. She is now busy typing on her laptop... "--- I can’t help but to feel guilty towards Darren Hayes because he's a very nice guy, and he is doing his best to be the best boyfriend. Little did he know that I am betraying him, pretending that I am just going with the flow. I'm dreading the day that he will find out my true identity. But I know I won't be able to hide this forever. He will eventually know that I am doing this for my article." Her fingers are just moving non-stop, and she was taken by surprise when her tears started to fall from her eyes. "Oh good heavens, what is wrong with me?" she asked to herself, getting all confused. ================================ Darren is currently in his room, while in a deep thought. He is seriously worried about Emma. She's been calling her mobile phone number since this morning, but she is not answering his call. He wondered if he did something wrong on their date yesterday? Maybe she didn't like the fact that he kissed her on the cheek? But he shouldn't be feeling this way because they are only in a pretend relationship. But it's too late for him because he can finally admit to himself that he has already fallen in love with Emma Albreicht. And it's for real. =================================== Emma enters The Chronicle's mini-office with a heavy heart. She is still overwhelmed with her feelings towards Darren Hayes. But one thing is for sure. She is now falling hard for her target. Emma finally decided to have a serious talk with Samantha, and she wants to tell her that she already made a decision regarding her undercover mission... She suddenly froze on her tracks when she saw some of the newspaper staff reading the latest release of their newspaper. "Oh, hello there, Emma!" one of them greeted her. "Hi, Kylie. Is Samantha in her office?" inquired Emma. "Yes, she's already here. By the way, have you seen our new issue today? We read your article, and I must say that we're really impressed!" Kylie continues to babble on. "Huh? What do you mean?" Emma asked again, while getting confused. "Well, your article about Darren Hayes is finally published! I must say that it was a very detailed report, and you should keep on writing more articles!" announces Kylie. Emma's eyes widened in shock when she heard everything. She didn't expect that Samantha will include her article for this month's issue! She quickly ran towards Samantha's private office. She didn't bother to knock, as she opens the door in a hurry. "Samantha, we need to talk." she anxiously said. "Oh, Emma! I'm so sorry about this. I know you told me that I shouldn't include your article for this month's issue, but I swear, I just accidentally included your article for printing! wasn't able to double-check them because I've been to busy at work." Samantha sincerely apologizes to Emma, as she looks like she is in a verge of panic.
