Elena Carter: fidgeting with her necklace I can't believe they think I'm Scarlett! What do I do now!?
Well… there are a few things that we can do first… pauses First off, don’t call your family.
nods vigorously No calls to family, got it! But what else? I gotta know!
Then, we’ll have to start off by going over some key rules… First, do not wear anything that might show off your identity…
furrows her brow, deep in thought Okay, no revealing outfits. Got it. What's next?
Next, try to keep a low profile…
crosses arms, looking determined A low profile, got it. No more crazy shopping sprees or late-night clubbing. But what else?
And lastly, do not fall in love with your husband…
grinning mischievously Oh, don't worry about that! I won't fall for Christian's charms, no matter how hard he tries.
Good… Now, the reason why is because your sister left in the middle of the night after getting married, and if he finds out, he’ll most likely call off the marriage…
eyes wide with shock Wait, what?! So, not only am I pretending to be Scarlett, but Christian actually thinks I'm his wife?! This is too much!
Yes… looks at him Look, I know this is a lot to take in, but you need to know what you’re up against…
paces back and forth, wringing her hands This is insane! How did I end up in this mess? And what kind of a husband leaves his bride on their wedding night?
Look… He’s a workaholic, so he’s always busy with work… And he didn’t even get a chance to see her because she left before he got back from the reception…
stops pacing, eyes wide with disbelief Workaholic?! That's supposed to make me feel better?! But wait, if he's busy with work, then maybe...
gasps Maybe if I play my cards right, I can use this situation to my advantage! I mean, Christian is rich beyond belief.
I know, but remember, he’s also very particular about everything…
grins slyly Particular, huh? Well, then I'll just have to figure out what makes him tick. What are his favorite foods? His favorite colors? His favorite books?
There are many resources online that will tell you what his favorite things are… However, don’t be obvious about it…
quickly grabs her phone and starts searching You're right, I can't be too obvious about it.
Alright, now, one last thing… He has some… ties to the mafia… So, if he ever asks you about your family, tell him they’re alright…
whispers nervously The mafia? Are you kidding me? I thought Christian was just an overworked CEO!
chuckles Yeah, he is… However, that’s not the point… The point is, if he ever asks you about your family, just stick to the story that your family is okay… And don’t mention anything about them that might make him suspicious…
nervously fidgets with her hair Okay, got it. Stick to the story, don't mention anything suspicious. Got it.
grabs her bag and heads towards the door Alright, time to put on a good show. I've got some expensive living to uphold!
looks at her Just remember what I told you…
grinning confidently Don't worry, I've got this! I'll charm Christian into thinking I'm the best wife in the world!
waves goodbye to SkirmishJin and walks away, determined to win Christian over Thanks for the advice, SkirmishJin! Wish me luck!
Chuckles Good luck, Elena… You’re gonna need it…
grabs a stack of luxurious clothes from the closet and starts trying them on Time to become Mrs. Christian Martin!
