The devil must have attended acting workshops before, thought Allie as she watched Evan lie with little to no effort.
She couldn't believe he was doing all this just for the sake of company shares. But she guessed he was also doing it so that his mother would stop pestering him about getting married. This must be the main reason why marriage was the bargaining chip Esme used to make him comply.

After the dinner, Esme told Evan to tour Allie around the mansion. Now they were on the balcony of Evan's room.
"Don't worry, I will make sure she won't find anything that would taint my image in her mind," Allie assured him.
She was relieved that the dinner was finally over, but she knew it was just the beginning. There was more to come in this charade, and she needed to brace herself. Being Evan Mori's wife wouldn't be an easy job.
