The Fake Dating Game's
Bitter Trap

AUTHOR POV

There's no other choice. After a long thought, Daphne finally decided to follow Decs who was carrying his car. If you ask where you want to go, Daphne does not know the answer.

But clearly, in Daphne's favorite car is installed GPS and small CCTV that can be tracked and accessed easily through a smartphone connection. That way, Daphne will understand where Declan is.

Get out of the room with hasty steps. Daphne's strange behavior was discovered by her parents who happened to be chatting, talking about decorating the table setting for dinner later.

"Daph, where are you going, baby?" ask Eva to her daughter.

"Yes, Daph, what's the rush?" Keenan chimed in.

Caught already the action of Daphne who intends to run away secretly. The position of his body that was turning back on Mami and Papinya now turned.

"Ehh.ada Mami and Papi.." he said with a grimacing smile.

"You haven't answered Papi's question, Daph.Why do you look rushed?" press Keenan who is still curious.

If it has been cornered like this, inevitably Daphne just admitted because she wanted to avoid it for free. He is not good at lying. "Hmm.Can I ask permission from Papi and Mami? I gotta go out for a second."

"Where are you going? We're going to have a family gathering, you better stay here." Keenan doesn't agree if his daughter's out there.

As the son of the host of the event, it does not feel ethical if Daphne does not accompany her family who are busy entertaining.

Turning the husband's conversation aside, Eva pub asks, "By the way where's Decs? Is she not with you?"

"Hm...Decs is also actually going out Mommy. That's why I'm going to catch up with him now."

"Decs gone? Why can't we know he's gone? And you want to go too? Where are you two going anyway?"

"It-it's...Decs was off to get my cosmetic box left at home." in Daphne's heart she cursed to herself who had dared to lie to her mother.

"God! What did you tell him to take it for?" Eva shook her head in astonishment.

"Daphne needs that makeup box, Mi! In a few hours the Harper family's dinner and barbeque party will begin. In addition to dressing up, some Daphne accessories and jewelry are also in the box! That's why Daphne needs it so much.."

"Daphne dear.The distance from the farmhouse to our house is a long way. Just troubling your Decs! Though if you want, Mami can call one of Mami's MUA subscriptions to come here. Mami's jewelry can lend!" hatch Eva who raised her voice. He was so excited to see his daughter.

"That's also Decs why you're following all this!" chirping Keenan. "Do the Decs know our home address in New York? You've never taken him there."

"The time is now advanced Pi, the Decs can see from the maps that are connected in my car!" answer Daphne.

"Your car? So Decs went to take your car so?"

Daphne replied, "Yes Pi, I did loan it out on purpose. Papi knows for himself that in this farmhouse area there are no public vehicles passing because of its exclusive location."

Keenan and Eva looked at each other with less than pleasant faces. According to them Daphne was too careless in this case because of too much trust in her lover.

Keenan suspects that the car was being driven away. It's not a matter of fear of material loss. Keenan could have bought his daughter a new car. But the concept is not so. It's about vigilance.

"Daphne apologizes Mi..Pi.not Daphne's desire to force him to take. But it was Decs himself who suddenly took the initiative." Daphne again reasoned while playing her fingers because she was nervous.

"Yes, then you follow Decs. Track through GPS, that's your car to where. Thankfully, dinner was still a long time away. Papi will give you approximately 3 hours to get back here soon. Later you will go with the driver Papi only!" keenan's orders.

"Good Pi..Mi.thank you! I'll definitely be back soon. I love you guys!" Daphne put her little kisses on each of her parents' cheeks before saying goodbye.

Pocketing permission from Keenan to go for a moment, made Daphne's heart slightly relieved. A moment later the woman hurriedly walked to the front yard to meet Greg, her Papi's personal driver. Daphne will ask the man to deliver her following Decs.

Meanwhile, Parker Group. Declan still seems to be arguing with his former fiancee, Inggrid.

It had been nearly an hour since the two of them had talked. Errata, not both but only Inggrid who babbles. Declan chose not to comment because he was lazy.

"Declan.why are you being ignorant of me? Can't we talk about this all right? Please give me a response.at least my heart will calm down if you make a sound even if it's only one or two words.." Ingrid pleaded. His face looks so dead.

"I've said a thousand times, Miss Tiffin.until anytime, I would never hear your defense. For me it's all gone stale. Instead of you busy explaining abcde about justifying your opinion, you should just call your boss. Where is Mr Fitzgerald? I don't have much time for you!" ketus Declan's.

He became upset himself because the client from Belgium never arrived. Declan is being time-hunted. He had promised Daphne that he would take care of his business quickly. But Mr. Fitzgerald's delay hindered his affairs.

To reduce his emotions that were stirring, Declan diverted it by further sipping the juice of his bamboo that had lived half on the table. Long wait for the oversized guests from Belgium to come, making Declan constantly drink.

"Wait a minute.do you want any more business after this?" ask Inggrid.

Declan. "Hmm.I have to attend a dinner from my girlfriend's family" she replied casually.

And,

The duarrr!!

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, Inggrid's heart felt really crushed to hear Declan's statement that he had a lover.

"You-you've got a boyfriend?" Inggrid stammered when asking.

"Of course I have. You think I'm a pretty damn single guy!" declan said he didn't take it.

Though actually since breaking up from Inggrid, Declan has not had a heart patch until he met with Daphne yesterday exactly.

Declan deliberately kept pumping Inggrid so that his heart grew hotter. He's not a stupid man who doesn't know what Inggrid means. Not that Declan wants to be confident, but from his passion..Declan can read that Ingrid still wants him back.

"You lied, right? There's no way you have a girlfriend.If you do, why doesn't the news show up in the media?" inggrid debate is still menguele.

"Hihhh..is my love relationship should always be public consumption? Very low in your thinking. I didn't want a showoff to protect my lover's safety. That's why many don't know!" Declan replied.

But a few minutes after a long silence hung between the two, Declan suddenly felt something strange in him.

Suddenly his whole body felt hot and trembling. Cold sweat appeared on his palms. Declan's heart was pounding like a hammering drum. It felt so excruciating that Declan's chest felt overcrowded.

"Decs.kk-you're okay, right?" Inggrid moved out of his chair and approached Declan. The woman also gave a smooth swab to the back of Declan's hand.

"Let go! Don't get near me!" Declan brushed aside Inggrid's hand.

Realizing something was wrong, Declan turned to the nearby drinking glass.

That guava juice.

Declan got a strange reaction on his body after he drank a glass of guava juice up the toilet. Is he being poisoned?

Declan's gaze turned sharp and giddy on Ingrid. "What are you doing Inggrid!" rough snaps.

"Akk-i.i..."

"You must have mixed my drink with something, right?" Declan held a great suspicion.

He himself is so lost. How could? Have they not been together since. From this Declan can conclude that Ingrid must have worked with his pantry officer who had brought drinks to the meeting room.

"Declan, I can explain-"

"Basin' cheap women!" declan said loudly while pushing Inggrid until his body fell on the floor.

Unwittingly, Ingrid has ignited the anger of Declan who is at the top of the crown.
