Perfect disguise by Elizabeth A (speld decodable readers .txt) 📗

"If you are trying to move on from the past, then why do you text me that you miss me?"

Sasha took the phone and checked the message, a frown appeared on her face. "Can you explain the meaning of this?"

Liam raised his hands trying to calm her down. "Sasha, it's nothing, don't listen to her."

She frowned. "You texted your Ex that you want her back and you are telling me to ignore that?" Her voice went an octave higher.

I cleared my throat, totally aware of the commotion I had started. It was good that he was finally getting a share of his portion. After all, it takes two to tango.

I stretched my hand towards Sasha. "Can I have my iPhone back?"

She gave it to me and stormed out of the salon in anger. 

Liam looked like he could explode at any time. He tightened his lips and narrowed his eyes at me. "This is the same reason why we broke up, you feel you are too damn perfect."

I straightened up and crossed my arms across my chest. "That's because I am."

I kept my iPhone in my handbag and saw Dominic standing by a shelf, Chloe was talking to him, but he seemed irritated. I was sure he badly wanted Chloe to get out of his hair. So, I would use it as my golden ticket.

"See you later Liam. I need to go and meet my boyfriend." I said and left a furious Liam looking at me as I approached Dominic.

Thumps up Diana, you finally kick his ass this time. Acting beautiful and confident was always my best defense.

I approached Dominic and held his arm, I could feel Liam's eye watching me. Dominic gaped at me, his eyes lingered on our entwined hands.

I smiled at Chloe. "You look familiar, you are Chloe, right?"

Chloe narrowed her eyes, moving her eyes from me to Dominic. "Yes, I'm Chloe. Who are you?" 

I could hear the distaste in her voice. She was obviously shocked to see me acting as his girlfriend. I leaned close to Dominic and looked at me with pure affection.

 "I'm his girlfriend." I said with adorations. 

"It's a lie, you are not dating him." 

I acted like I was surprised and looked at Dominic who looked confused. "Dominic, I thought you told her about us?"

"I… I… Forgot." He stuttered.

I'm glad he was playing along with my pretentious act. I smirked. Aside from fashion designing and shopping, I was also very good at acting, I guess all my mother's effort of enrolling me into acting classes are finally paying off.

I said goodbye to Chloe and we left the salon.
