The Substitute Woman on the First Night
Determined Alissa

Happy reading!

I turned my body around and intended to step out of the restaurant. Before that I threw a cynical look towards Almira with a sharp look of hatred. 

"You're really sassy, Mira! Who do you think you can threaten me? All this time I've been hard-earned to find money to finance your life, but now you've returned my kindness and even intend to destroy me! You see, I won't let you take Mas Denis away from me!" my mind sizzled irritatedly and stomped my feet hard. Then I immediately stepped out of the restaurant while completely fed up looking at my twin sister's face.

Upon arriving at the lobby of the restaurant that was not too wide, I waved to call the taxi driver who was standing in front of his car to take me home. I didn't have time to book a taxi online because Almira really provoked my anger when I was inside. However, when I just got into a taxi, my phone rang. I immediately reached into my bag and picked up the flat object that was ringing. I saw Mas Denis' name on the surface of the screen, he called in a video call. I had to tidy my hair first and the most important thing was to change my facial expression so that Mas Denis would not see my irritated look because of Almira. Only then did I shift the green button to receive a call from her.

"Hi, Mas." I smiled and waved my hand to greet my husband. 

So even with Mas Denis who immediately singed a smile when he looked at me. "Hi, Honey. Have you met Mira? Mom how's her condition? You've got people to help Mira take care of mom yet?" 

Denis immediately flocked me with a lot of questions that almost pissed me back. Maybe he didn't know that his wife had just finished a cold war with his sister-in-law. However, I tried to hold back my frustration and still tried to display a facial expression that looked fine. 

"Don't be angry, baby! Sorry, I get so excited every time I talk to you."

"Sweetest words from my husband. How could I let her know about Mira's pregnancy, let alone ask her to take responsibility? I don't want to lose Mas Denis who changed my life so much differently than my dark life in the past, even he always makes my days feel happy. So I won't let Mira snatch my husband just because he's pregnant. I will do everything possible to undo his intentions!" my mind while reviewing the thin smile on both corners of my lips. 

Within seconds I regained my senses when I heard Mas Denis cleared my throat and never answered his question.

"Mas, I met Mira earlier. My mother is also much better. Mira turned down my offer to find someone who could help her take care of mom. He said he was still capable for now, if he started to get overwhelmed, he would find himself a suitable person to look after mom. Now I'm on the way home. It's I've been in the cab."

I breathed a sigh of relief after successfully concocting a lie to answer Mas Denis' question, even I said it calmly and did not seem to arouse suspicion at all.
