Elaine Scott is a 24 year old girl who loves her job. But when she is being forced to marry someone she doesn't want to, she ends up choosing some random guy to marry she lies about being engaged to. She doesn't think much about him, except for the...
Tonight was a dinner at Olivia's house. I was all ready waiting for Atlas. Just where was he. He told me that he would go. But he's still not here yet. Tonight, I went with something simple. I was wearing a black knee-length tail dress along with black heels.

It was now 7:30 and we had to reach there by 7. Finally I hear his car coming, and then we go to the dinner. To be honest, I was kind of excited. Amelia, Claire and Tyler were also coming. And talking to Lyra and his mum is always so much fun.
When we reached there, everyone asked what took us so long. So we had to make up an excuse for that. And by we, I meant me. Atlas was again busy with his phone.
I got so busy talking to my friends that I lost track of time that it was now dinner time.
"Elaine, have you seen Atlas?" His mum asked me. I didn't know where he was. He was here somewhere, right?
"He was around here somewhere. I'll go call him." I said as I got up
"Thank you, dear." His mum said as I went to look for him. Were was he? I looked everywhere but I couldn't find him. I see Zach and Tyler so I go to them, asking if they have seen him anywhere.
"I don't know. He was with us before." Tyler replied
"Yeah, but then he got a phone call so he went to attend that." Zach replied
"Oh." I said as Zach then said, "You can call him, I'm sure he'll pick that up."
"Yeah, thanks." I said as I then called him. He didn't pick up as usual. So I then messaged him. And after messaging for the fourth time, I got a reply saying, 'I have some work to do. I'll be back.'
I then go to where everyone is. "Atlas has some work to do. So he went to the office. But he said that he will be back." I said as I saw the look of disappointment on his mother's face. Damn, she looked heartbroken. Someone really needs to teach this idiot a lesson about priorities.
After dinner, I was outside talking with Claire.
"So how are things going between you and Atlas?" Claire asked as I knew exactly what she was talking about
"There's nothing going on and everything is fine." I replied
"Too bad. So how long are you going to keep this drama up?" Claire asked
"What do you mean?" I asked
"You both already got out of the situations you were in. So you can't keep this drama act forever, you know." She replied
"I know....but everyone looks so happy with this and we've never talked about this before." I said
"But you have to think about this. You can't waste your life-like this. Don't you want to have a real marriage? And if you don't, then think about Atlas. Suppose he falls in love with another girl. He would want to marry her. So you guys will have to end this deception." Claire said
