UNDERCOVER {Competed} 😌

Chapter 1(ii)

Joshua Donaldson😋
I had all this stress and was fighting this disgusting feeling of betrayal. I was sited behind the desk of my small office. I looked up the ceiling and leaned on my chair. I was so unlucky. Unlucky in love, in sports in family and in everything. Not that I really cared but the most important thing for me was my magazine. And it too was at risk of vanishing. I felt like crying but I reminded myself there was hope. There had to be something that I could do to revive my magazine.
This magazine would have run bankrupt was it not to my secret account and also the emergency fund i had stashed away and thankfully forgot to mention.
Straggling to ignore the feeling of betrayal, i took my pencil and run down numbers through the calculator. When the answer came, I exhaled a breath of relief but failed to expel the pain.

Martin,my best friend and partner- actually my traitorous best friend- I reminded myself- had swept in swept out like a thief in the night,and had taken everything. My trust. My money. And my girlfriend too.
I grinned bitterly. Sure,lately the magazine has been going through pains: but shakers was still a nice magazine. It had been my life long dream. Mine and Martin's. Its amazing how girls can be at times... Bitchy and always making things complicated. Now how can Martin ever face me? How could he abandon our dream like this? And Veronica? Doesn't she feel even a twitch of guilt?
The pencil i was holding fell on the ground and i stared at it. With frustrations I tried to gather my thoughts.
I wouldn't give up, I couldn't possibly give up. I had to find a way out. And i would have to find it.
I picked up one if the newspaper at the edge of his desk and leafing through I started looking for a story, the one that would make shakers have the highest sale.
After scanning several stories, my eyes halted at a small item on newspaper review. I whistled. How could I have forgotten the Jim and Laura's up coming wedding? A private ceremony. Time and date undisclosed,place unstated,security very heavy and visible. My tensed features relieved a smile.
Of course the world would like to know the tiniest little detail about the wedding.
All that I needed was to find a job in the ranch.
I jumped to on mycomputer and searched details about the ranch. How weird...they only hire couples?... Then I will have to find a make believe wife.
But who?,.., a thought crossed my mind. I will talk to the person in charge of domestic agencies and maybe he will find me a wife.
I picked up the phone and punched few buttons. In milliseconds I knew just the man to help me
