Finish the job? Miya is not deaf. She can hear what Alex says clearly.
Recently, she senses Alex is getting out of sorts. And now, he is talking crap again. This makes her more suspicious of him.
"What do you mean when you said that you had completed your mission?" Miya wants to clear her doubts. She is eager to listen to Alex's explanation.
At that moment, Alex is stammering.
"Completed the mission? You must have misheard me. Why would I say that? What I meant was you should sign the divorce agreement right away so we can break it up once and for all."
Alex looks away as he is guilty when he said that.
Alex's eccentric behaviour arouses Miya's suspicion even more. All this time, she is depressed. She is not aware of his abnormal behaviour. However, when she finally calms down, she realizes Alex is not acting like he used to be. He is giving others a deferential impression of himself.
"Alex, since we're about to divorce, why don't we have a romantic date before that?" Miya blinks her eyes as a brilliant idea comes across her mind.
"Having a romantic date? Are you not shameful? I've already said that I'm going to divorce you! Stop bugging me!" Alex becomes impatient as he is irritated.
Miya understands his temper very well. Alex loves Miya so much. He will not say such words to her. But now, he is cold to Miya. Even his character becomes weak.
Hence, she is sure that the man standing in front of him is not Alex. He just looks like Alex.
Although it might seem outrageous, it is the only possibility she could think of. If that is the case, then everything that happened in the past few days could be explained.
When did Alex's personality change drastically? Ever since she found him at the bar after Anson dropped him off at the hotel, he started acting weird. That's right! Something must have happened in the bar!
The man in front of her is simply someone else. Why will he impersonate Alex? He is acting so cool towards Miya. Apparently, he wants Miya to give up on him. From what he said, seems like he is eager to be with Anson.
Out of a sudden, Miya sneers. The things that happened the past few days is just premeditation. She picks up the divorce agreement from the table and says indifferently to the impersonator, "Have you finished your acting? You are not Alex, aren't you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who can I be if I am not Alex? I look exactly like him. Don't you recognize me?" the man becomes incoherent. He doesn't expect that the fraud he had convicted will be exposed. He is so close to complete his task, but Miya is able to recognize him.
"I am so dumb! Why do I take so long to realize this!"
Miya is more certain about her bold guess after seeing the man's reaction. She is right, after all. Why would such a dramatic event happen to her?
