26.2

I widen my eyes as soon as I realize his words, while my heartbeat suddenly accelerates.

Of course he couldn't not know the real model!

I swallow the saliva with difficulty, but his lips curl in a slight smile as he almost winks

amused.

I don't understand what he has in mind, whether he is genuinely neutral to the fact that I'm lying to his boss or he is ironic, but I don't have time to find the courage to open my mouth that he turns his back on me again and approaches another man by his side, starting to speak and completely forgetting about my presence.

With my lips still slightly parted, I convince myself that he won't say anything to Edward and that he is so sympathetic towards me to forget all this situation.

'Even better than the real model.'

I don't know whether or not to smile at his words, but if I'm happy for having satisfied him and being able to keep this job, on the other hand the feelings of guilt literally start devouring me, realizing

only now to have stolen the place of a model and to have taken her away the possibility of becoming the image of

such a famous company.

I don't know how Gordon managed to solve the situation, but I don't think she liked being fired and replaced.

I reach the dressing rooms with a worried expression on my face and I begin to undress, leaving the long dress

slip on the ground, even if I would like to keep wearing it and present myself in front of Edward to see his reaction.

I pull my wavy hair into a high, puffy ponytail, while the tips still tickle my

neck.
