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

Once I was done showering, I went back to my bedroom and wore my blue pajamas and slumped on the bed. I picked up my phone and unlocked it. The first thing I saw was the missed call notification from Diana.

I decided to call her and we spoke for almost three hours before I actually slept off.

Luckily, the next day Chloe didn't show up in my office and I was very glad when I didn't hear any rumors regarding what happened the previous day when Adeline came to my office. I knew there weren't any rumors going around because Kenneth hadn't said any of such. 

During the weekend, I spent my time at Annie's place. I assisted Zoe to build a paper castle for her creative art project and hang out with Annie.

On Monday, Chloe came to my office. She couldn't stay because I was having a discussion with one of the company's external developers. I received a call from Diana when I got back from work. She reminded me about the date. She sent the venue and the exact time the meeting was going to take place. 

The next day, I stood before my standing mirror holding a black leather jacket and black sweatpant. I put the jacket across my chest checking if it was suitable for the date. It looked like something a person could wear on a casual date, but I didn't know if it was suitable for a business date. I wore the jacket and checked myself again. It looked good on me and I liked it so I decided to wear it for the date.

I was combing my hair when my bedroom door opened and Kenneth stepped inside. He crossed his hand and leaned on the wall, looking at me with a silly smirk.

"Where are you going? To a date?"

I chuckled and turned towards him. I brushed my hand on the black leather jacket. "How do I look? Great?"

Kenneth's eyes ran over the jacket and he smiled. "You look so incredibly bad."

I raised a brow. "Why? Is the jacket that bad?"

Kenneth shook his head. "It's the pants. Oh my gosh, you know nothing about fashion." he pointed at my black sweatpants. "How can you wear sweatpants to a date?!"

"But it's very expensive and nice." I defended myself.

"It doesn't matter if it's expensive, it's just not suitable for a date."

He moved away from the wall and sat on the bed. "I've hardly seen you going on a date. This means she must be very special to you."

He smirked mischievously. "Was she the one you were banging in your office?"

"I wasn't banging anyone." I said firmly. 

Kenneth waved his hands dismissing my defense. "Come on, you are lying. Adeline said she saw a lady under your desk last Thursday."

Immediately, my body went rigid with fright. So Adeline actually noticed Chloe?

"Eh… What?" I tried to pretend like I didn't understand what he said, but I knew Kenneth had noticed he was right.

He covered his mouth like he had confirmed his doubt. "So you were actually sleeping with a woman in your office?"

I noticed he kept on referring to Chloe as a woman. That meant he didn't know the woman was Chloe.

I uttered a sigh of relief and decided to ignore him.

"Shut up." I grumbled and removed the sweatpants and jacket.
