The Wife In Disguise

“Stopped by to visit his wife.”

Austin leaned toward the counter and threw a wink toward Evie, “Young girl, call your sister out.”

“Oh, okay.”

Evie was a bit rushed and hastily called out towards the kitchen, “Violet, Louis is here.”

Violet took a deep breath and then walked out from the kitchen, pretending to be surprised, “Mr. Johnson, what brings you here?”

“I can’t come here?”

Louis’ eyes were lingering on her ugly makeup for two seconds, then moving away.

“Can I get you something to drink?”

Violet smiled sardonically and inquired.

“No, take your time.”

Louis looked around with his hands in his pockets as he waited for Austin to finish his pastry shopping.

Violet stood by obediently and did not make another sound.

She silently prayed that Louis could leave quickly.

“Is Helena’s studio upstairs?”

He suddenly asked a question.

Violet was shocked but didn’t show it on her face. She pushed her black-rimmed glasses, “Yes.”

Louis glanced at her and walked towards the stairway.

He was going to go upstairs!

Violet was startled and no longer calm this time, “Mr. Johnson, you… you’re going up there?”

Her voice was a little harsh from astonishment.

Louis turned slightly sideways, “What? Can’t I?”

“Yes, of course.”

Can she say no?!

Violet smiled and happened to make a eye contact with him. Hastily, she tried to calm herself down.

Louis gazed at her before went upstairs.

Violet bit her lower lip and hurried to follow him.

The styling studio upstairs was also small, but elegantly decorated.

The melodious sound of music floated in the air.

Several employees were busy in their works.

Louis’ deep eyes swept around and didn’t see Helena’s figure.

“Where is she?”

“She went out and just asked me to keep an eye on the studio for her.”

Violet lied.

Louis turned around and looked Violet up and down, “You look nervous?”

“Huh? No!”

Violet laughed in an embarrassed sort of way and denied it.

The corners of Louis’ mouth turned upwards as he walked to the rest area and sat down.

Violet: “…”

Why wasn’t he leaving?

“Mr. Johnson, are you waiting for Helena?”

“Hmm.”

Louis casually picked up a magazine on the coffee table and flipped through it with a leisurely look.

Wasn’t he the president of the Group?

Why did he have so much time?

Violet was speechless and her mind was whirling rapidly.

He didn’t look like he was going to leave until he saw Helena.

What can she do?

“Violet, can you come down here? I have something to ask you.”

Evie sent Austin up and then asked Violet.

Violet brightened up, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”

She had to go down there, otherwise, how could Helena come back!?

Violet steadied her heartbeat, “Mr. Johnson, wait for a moment. I’ll be right back.”

Louis did not say anything.

Violet didn’t care whether he agreed or not, and left quickly.

“Louis, waiting for your lover while your wife is still here, huh?”

Austin, with an amused look on his face, sat down next to him.

Wife, lover?

He would like to see if these two will appear at the same time today!

Louis’ thin lips were compressed, and his long fingers tapped his thighs unconsciously.

Ten minutes later.

“Mr. Johnson, sorry to keep you waiting.”

A woman’s pleasant voice came from the stairway entrance.

Louis raised his eyes and looked at the two people walking towards him. His dark eyes instantly narrowed.

Helena and Violet appeared at the same time.

Helena was elegant and refined, but Violet had a swarthy face with a pair of black-framed glasses.

Wife, lover. They really showed up at the same time!

“So you’re Helena?”

Austin looked Helena up and down and asked with interest.

“You’re Mr. Evison of the Evison Group, right? I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Helena was smiling and greeting Austin.

Louis glanced at her and his eyes fell on the silent “Violet” of the side.

He got up and walked over to her.

The smile on “Violet”‘s face was barely hanging on.

Because the woman playing ugly at this time was her cousin Evie.

She came up with this impromptu method to make her cousin resemble her with her superior make-up skill, hoping to fool Louis.

At that moment, Louis suddenly leaned in slightly and raised his hand to touch Evie’s face.

Helena was startled and pulled Evie away, “Mr. Johnson, what are you doing?”

She hoped Louis not touch her sister, okay?

Louis’s hand stopped in mid-air and his dark eyes were sweeping to her.

“Helena, this is my wife. Why are you making such a fuss about what I do to her?”

Violet: “…”

She was committing a gaffe!

“I’m sorry, because Violet and I are as close as sisters, I’m used to protecting her.”

Violet made up a random reason.

Without waiting for Louis to speak, she said to Evie, “Violet, I knew you’re busy. I’ll serve Mr. Johnson for you.”

“Okay.”

Evie was nervous.

She followed what Violet had taught her and imitated her usual accent, “Mr. Johnson, excuse me. I’ll go downstairs and get busy.”

Louis did not say anything. Evie squeezed a fake smile at him, then turned and walked away quickly.

When she left, Violet smiled, “Mr. Johnson, what can I do for you?”

Louis’ line of sight retracted and landed on her face.

“Miss Helena, my wife is really submissive to you. People will think you’re my real wife.”

Violet: “…”

Wasn’t she his real wife now?

“Mr. Johnson is joking. I treat Violet like a sister. I’m just used to protecting her.”

“Really, Miss Helena is quite protective.”

“I’m flattered.”

“…”

Then, Louis gazed at her and then left the studio.

“Louis, are we leaving?”

Austin, who had been watching a good show of them, got up and followed him in a hurry.

“Mr. Johnson, take your time.”

Violet sent them to the first floor. Watching the two leave, she let out a long breath.

The man was finally gone!

If he stayed a little longer, she was afraid she’ll be scared to death!

She wished she could get a divorce soon, so she wouldn’t have to torture herself so much!

“Violet, I’m so scared.”

Evie walked out of the kitchen and patted her chest in relief as well.

“It’s okay now. I’ll help you remove your makeup.”

“Okay.”

Outside the door.

Louis got in the car.

Austin fastened his seat belt and winked towards him, “Louis, Helena is interesting.”

It was fun!

The corners of Louis’ mouth turned up and he said, “Don’t you think these two look alike?”

Austin: “…”

A beauty like a fairy. But the other, miserable…

They didn’t look alike!

“Louis, I don’t think you’re blind! Oh, I see. You mean they taste alike, right!?”

…

Violet sent Louis away and went back to work.

In the afternoon, something happened in the bakery downstairs.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
