The Fake Dating Game's
The Almost Got Caught

AUTHOR POV

After the equestrian competition was over, Daphne decided to take Declan to her room to clean up. The activity made Declan's entire body full of sweat sweat.

"Do you want to take a shower Decs? If so, you can just use my bathroom!" bargain Daphne.

Declan sat down on the bench sofa in Daphne's room as she spread her arms freely. "Hmm.can. My body feels so hot. Today's weather is a little hot."

"Then I'll lend Brother Darius's shirt to your change of clothes" said Daphne, who opened her closet to get a clean towel.

"Hmm.but I'm not sure if your brother's shirt will fit my body" Declan squinted in doubt.

In terms of posture, Declan was slightly taller and more stocky compared to Darius. After marriage, the father of one child no longer has a proportional body. His arms are shrinking, but all the fat is gathered together in his stomach which is now beginning to distend.

"There must be enough. Kak Darius many clothes are also large in size. Let me find you, you just wait here for a second!"

"Alright, thank you Daphne." retorted Declan with a friendly nod.

Daphne then handed the towel she had taken to Declan, and rushed out to her sister's room.

While waiting for Daphne to return, Declan took her phone out of her pants pocket. Almost half of this daily, Declan hasn't opened his net at all.

The intention is to check maybe there is an incoming email related to work or there is an important phone from someone.

And sure enough, not long ago Declan held his sophisticated smartphone, his,

Drt.drr...

Suddenly there was a notification of incoming calls from Daddy Wyatt which was then immediately lifted by Declan.

📱

"Hello, Dad!" greet Declan first.

"Hello too, where are you now Decs? Is it still at Daphne's house?" ask Daddy Wyatt.

Yesterday, Declan bluntly admitted that he was going to the Daphne family farmhouse today. He also has permission from his parents. That's why Daddy Wyatt guessed like that.

"Yes, I'm still at Daphne's. Maybe I'll stay here last night, too. Her older brother Daphne took me in,"

"Ahh...are you bothered to mean? Daddy wants to ask something for help."

"What is Dad?" ask Declan.

"Is there something important? If yes then just say it, as much as I can help."

"Hmm.begini Decs, now Daddy wants you to go to the company for a moment to represent Daddy's presence in the meeting to submit a proposal for a work contract with an important client from Belgium."

"In the weekend, there's a meeting?" ask Declan in a soft voice. There was fear of someone eavesdropping from the outside or Daphne suddenly entered.

"The circumstances urge the Decs, the party of them usually today. Daddy agreed because Daddy thought he could attend the meeting, but there was a change of plans."

"What change of plans?"

"Your sister Mommy just got hit by a traffic accident. So Daddy and Mommy have to fly this afternoon to London."

"Ahh.superbly sad to hear it. Then how is he doing now? Has Aunt Natasha improved or not?"

"Last the info that Daddy heard, he had injuries to the ankle and arm only. The rest is okay" explains Daddy Wyatt. "So how, can you go to the company? Please help Daddy this time. The client is very important to Daddy's company, son."

"Thank God! It's okay, Decs, the meeting's still two hours from now. May the time be enough. Thank you very much, Daddy's favorite son. Hope your future daughter-in-law can understand your busy life!" wyatt chirps out.

"Ckkkp..Daddy don't talk carelessly. What daughter-in-law would you like? Me and Daphne just met yesterday afternoon."

"Yes but I-I"

"Oh Dad, I'll close first. I'll call you back." Declan accidentally shuts down his phone connection quickly before his Daddy speaks.

Chequek..

The door of the room opened, coinciding with the disconnection of the communication between the father and the child. Daphne has returned with a complete toiletry kit and new clothes for Declan.

"Hi Decs.this I have prepared a change of clothes for you. The size of the polo shirt belonging to Kak Darius who is quite large compared to the clothes he other. May it be worn by you."

"Ahh.thank you Daph. But it seems I have to undo my intention to take a shower. Just change clothes because I have to hurry up and leave now."

"Go? Go where?" Daphne looks confused because with her frontal Declan opened her top then immediately rushed to snatch a polo shirt from her hand.

"The conditions are urgent, I have to go to the office now" Declan said.

"office? Why come to the office on a holiday like this?"

"There's an important meeting with a client and I'm required to be there!" finished clothes worn, Declan walked to Daphne's dresser to look in the mirror while tidying her hair thin.

Daphne's eyes widened, "An important meeting? What does your job as a waiter have to do with important meetings?"

Degh...

Declan. Suddenly the man cursed his own stupidity that indirectly with his symbol opened his identity. His body turned to face Daphne.

"Hmm.begini Daph," Declan seemed to think for a moment before speaking. "One of the top companies in New York is holding a very, very important grand event. The theme of the work meeting attended by many foreign guests."

"The company hired caterers and waiters from the office where I worked to welcome related guests. It should be my friend's job, but since he didn't come in. I'm the one who replaced his shift." Declan reasoned and began to compose freely, hoping Daphne believed.

"Then what about me? You promised to accompany me until tonight at the barbeque party?!" cecar Daphne with a variety of questions.

"Just a second. The show may be over by afternoon. After that I will return soon. I need Daph's money, which is why I took this job. Can I go, please just for a moment?!" pinta Declan who pulled out her US card by pretending to weld.

Daphne, who had been worried, immediately allowed it, "Yes you can go. Here's my car key, you can use that vehicle to get to your office." said Daphne. The woman could not be evil by preventing Declan from working for money because not everyone is lavish wealth like her.

"S-seriously?" ask the doubtful Declan.

"Yes seriously. In my farmhouse there are rarely public vehicles. Then just use my car!" thought Daphne so Declan could get to town quickly because her farmhouse was located in the countryside a little far from the crowd.

"So you just trust me? I'm a stranger, Daph." Declan did not think that Daphne would respond to everything lightly.

"We already know each other well, no need to be awkward anymore. I believe you're a good man and don't lie. Other than me intending to lend, with you using my car to travel I can make sure that you will quickly return when your business is done!" daphne.

"Thank you." Declan tilted the corner of his lips, smiling in admiration for Daphne's sincerity.

Daphne gave a faint smile back, "Together, it's good to help you."

Declan then walked over to Daphne and cupped the two sides of her face with long, smooth fingers. "I promise to come back soon" he said firmly.

Shortly after, Declan affixed a sweet fleeting kiss on Daphne's lips.

Cupp...

"See you laters.baby.." - witty Declan with her baritone voice.
