Antonio sighed,纠正道, "Perhaps you should call me Mrs. Parker now, huh?" She acknowledged her mistake, "I apologize. I needed that deal, and I didn't mean to involve you. But let's be clear, I won't attend any more meetings." Before getting into the car, she reminded him, "Just remember who signs your paycheck at the end of the month." Antonio proposed a condition, "Alright, but if we're going to keep up this charade, I expect a raise for the deception involved. We need our pretend marriage to seem authentic – attending events together." Aaliyah's eyes widened in surprise, questioning, "Aren't you already married to Samantha?" *Updated every Monday & Thursday*
