I cannot even begin to tell you how much of a shit show the rest of my day went, I was so mad at Nick and mad at myself for deciding to learn Russian as a hobby all those years ago. What a fucking stupid decision that was! The more details Nick gave us, the more anxiety I was getting about the whole thing. There were so many elements to this mission, it wasn't going to be easy and because me and Steve didn't get along, I had no idea how we were supposed to be a married couple. I couldn't fathom why they'd put us together.
We were kept in the office for the rest of the afternoon, studying the file and someone came in to take measurements for my wedding dress. Yes, you heard me. A fucking wedding dress. They were really going to fake wedding day pictures of us to decorate our house with and I couldn't cope, I was honestly going to cry because that's what happened to me when I got too angry. I disliked the fact that I'd been given a check list to complete by the end of next week, it was mostly just packing up my fucking life. Getting all of my belongings into storage, giving the details of my lease and landlord over to the division so payments could be made on my behalf, getting a new passport and I wasn't even going to begin looking over the part where I was going to be signing a marriage licence and literally marrying this fucking douche bag with an ironclad prenup which Nick spent three hours convincing us we should sign because neither of us wanted to be legally married to each other and there was no other way to fake it, because they assumed that Grayson may do his own investigating on us.
I wasn't onboard and I still wasn't onboard. The idea of it was ridiculous and I'd put my foot down to the point where Nick said he'd work on it and I gave him a day and if he couldn't get that dropped, I was quitting and that was final. Steve tried to get Nick to change his mind on us working together but he was told to shut up and I felt a little big headed that my request was being looked into and his wasn't.
I didn't leave Nicks office until around six pm, I was exhausted and once I got home I shoved an entire tub of Ben and Jerrys down my throat and topped myself up with a huge bag of barbecue lays. It was times like these when I wished I had a dog so I could offload my day to my little furry friend and then I'd not have any judgement, just cuddles and kisses and then I'd eat a little more because why the fuck not.
I'd barely slept and as Tuesday rolled around, I didn't even go into the office. I stayed at home and worked remotely, which pissed Nick off because he had wanted me to come to his office and talk about the mission again but I refused and told him I needed a mental health day. We angrily messaged each other on email for an hour before he finally gave up and told me I had better be in the office on Wednesday and I agreed, but specified I wasn't going to be staying at the office if he didn't have a better option for this fake marriage.
When I got to the office on Wednesday, Nick was waiting for me before I got onto the office floor and I was directed back to the elevator and we went down, we went so far down it was all under ground and I couldn't tell you how far down we were but I knew it was deep because my phone didn't pick up any signal.
"Where are we going, Nick?"
"You're going to your wedding."
"What?" I shouted at him and fell back against the elevator wall, my entire stomach dropped into my ass. "I fucking told you, Nick! I told you I wasn't doing it and I meant it!"
"Oh relax!" He rolled his eyes. "I meant you're going to your wedding as in the photos. I took care of the marriage thing." I didn't believe him. "I know you don't believe me, but I did." He was good.
"How?"
"Let's just say that if Grayson Phillipson tries to run a search on you, he'll see your marriage certificate and he won't ask questions." I went to ask more questions but he stopped me. "The certificate has been forged and no licence required from you and Rogers, so once the mission is over, my guy will take down the certificate and that'll be it."
