God, Lisa could already imagine what it would be like to get married and have her fluttering around like a very annoying hummingbird. So if she got married, she was going to run away to Las Vegas. They couldn't hate on Jungkook if he was already her husband.

"But, if she wants you to cover the whole process, wouldn't she have called you six months ago?"

"Why?"

"No one plans a wedding in three months"

"Some people do"

"They will face so many struggles"

As if Lisa cared that the fake couple with the fake wedding faced struggles.

"Yeah, sad, but well, it is what it is"

"Why do I have a feeling that you're lying to me, Pranpriya?"

Fuck!

"Okay fine, you got me," she huffed. "The wedding won't last the whole summer, but I still have to work on it and I don't want the pressure of a trip to home on my back while doing so," she lied so well that she even sounded charming, with a touch of self pity and tiredness. Gosh, such a good actress, she deserved that Oscar.

"Oh... Fine, tell me when you finish and I will make the arrangements for you," she relented but not as much, as always.

Lisa sighed silently, rolling her eyes but nodded. "Fine. I'm working now," she hinted the not so subtle "hang up please, for once, PLEASE, SAY BYE".

"Is it about the mural project?"

Why was she always asking something new instead of just finishing the call? Gosh, mothers!

Wait... Mural?

Lisa blinked in surprise, did her mother know about that? How? Why?

"How do you know?"

"Nam's niece was here," Nam was their housekeeper in Thailand, working for them long before Lisa was born and if Lisa was right, her niece must be 15 or 16 years old. But how was it related? "She's such a fan, you know she admires you since she was a kid. She showed me your... Inmagram? "

"Instagram"

"Yes, Instagram. You never mentioned you were working on that"

Not like she cared. But she knew she was being unfair in some way, because her mother asked and Lisa didn't share, not wanting to deal with the usual degradation to her job even if her mother wasn't doing that since months.

"The pictures are pretty," Preeda added in a disinterested tone that still caused a strange feeling in Lisa's heart. "So, I'd love to ask her to show me the wedding pictures when you publish them"

OH FUCK.

IT WAS A TRAP!

SHE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN !!!

Oh, Preeda Manoban, such a sneaky sneak.

Lisa swallowed the ball of frustration that rose in her throat and took a deep breath, annoyed but quite admired. This woman had the audacity to judge her for doing her tricks when she was exactly the same.

Uh.

She didn't just think that.

Lisa cringed.

No, no, no, no, they were totally different.

"Lisa?"

Lisa pursed her lips and smiled sardonically. "Cool, mom," she said with a sigh, she was screwed and just for her pride she would have to search for a couple that needed a last minute photographer. "I have to leave now, as I said, I'm working"
