You want to play games, find her
Wouldn't it be better if he just invited Tyler and Mira over to his mother's place for dinner? He could propose to Mira  in the presence of Tyler, his mother, and Aria.
But what if Aria decided to mention Victoria That would ruin his chances with Mira , no doubt. And what if he went on to engage Mira and his mother and Aria decided to hurt her? That was a bad idea; it would do more harm than good.
But wouldn't it be better if he used Victoria as the sacrifice for Mira? He smiled at the idea. He knew his mother was ruthless, and Aria tended to be that way. He could keep  away from his mother and Aria for the time being and present Victora as his fiancee. That way, they would deal mercilessly with Victoria , and she would dump him herself.

That way, he would know the extent. of
• their cruelty and shield Mira from them.
And he would also have enough time to convince Tyler to take Aria off his hands.
He would have to tell Tyler to keep the information about Mira to himself until everything was over. 
He would join them for dinner and insist on marrying his girlfriend, Victoria. He smiled at his brilliance; not everyone would be smart enough to get out of his pickle.

How had he found out so soon? Victoria wondered as she looked at him. What was she supposed to say to him? This would ruin everything.
Before she could answer, her phone started vibrating. She had been avoiding her boss' call all day, but right now, she quickly answered the call and excused , herself. If anyone could answer her questions right now, it was her boss.
"Why the heck have you been ignoring my calls?" He called out angrily.
"I'm sorry. I've been busy; what was the call about?" She asked curiously.
"I need you to come into the office tomorrow to meet Mr. Dalton. I need to resolve this whole thing once and for all," He said, making her gasp in shock.
"Resolve what? Why do I have to come to your office? I resigned already," She protested.
"He claims you aren't the one that came to his house. I've tried defending you, but he insisted someone else was at his place," He explained.
Victoria swallowed nervously. It was one or the other, "You showed him my picture?" She asked weakly.

"Yes, I did."
"How could you do that without seeking my consent?" She asked angrily.
"Are you ok? What is wrong with showing him a picture of someone he spent a week with? Or is there something I need to know?" Her boss retorted.
If the company ever found out someone else took her place, she would be in serious trouble. She closed her eyes weakly. Everything was going haywire, all because of that stupid Adrian .
She had to confess to either Tyler or her boss. One of them would have to cover for her. It had to be Tan because she couldn't afford to pay the company for damages.
"Not at all, sir. I'll resolve everything with him, don't worry about it," She said as she hung up the call.
She walked back to join Tyler , who was already sitting in the living room waiting for her.
"Yes, I used to work there, but I resigned already," She said quietly.
That explained it then; her boss had sent him the picture of the wrong Victora ‘’Is Adrian aware?" He asked her curiously.
"No, I resigned, so he doesn't get to know about it," She said, not meeting his eyes.
He felt sorry for her; he could tell she was ashamed.
"He won't hear it from me either; you have nothing to worry about," he said, trying to make her relax. Maybe she could tell him about the whereabouts of her colleague and namesake.
"What about Victoria, your colleague?"
He asked, watching her.
"Victoria ? My colleague?" She asked in confusion before it dawned on her that he thought it was a case of mistaken identity.

"Yes, the one that was sent to me. Her name is Victoria too," He said when he realized she hadn't asked him how he knew about her job. That must mean she knew he had hired a girlfriend, right?
"I have no colleague by that name that I know of. However, I was the one who was sent to you," She said, closing her eyes.
"You? But you weren't the one that came!" He exclaimed.
"I had to travel with Adrian , so I couldn't make it. I paid someone else to come in my place," She explained. She couldn't tell him about Mira; if she did so, then she was doomed in every way.
Not only would Mira be mad at her for breaking her promise, but she would also have to explain why she sent Adrian’s girlfriend, who happened to be her best friend, in her place. This wasn't how she had envisioned everything. Tyler wasn't even supposed to find out anything through her.
Everything was going haywire, she couldn't pinpoint the moment her plans started falling apart, but she blamed Adrian for everything. She couldn't tell Tyler the complete truth; she would say some and leave out some. 
"So, who is she? Where is she?" He asked in frustration getting up from his seat.
"I don't know her. She's a stranger,"
Victoria lied.
"What? Did you send a total stranger to my home? Someone you don't know?
What if she had been a thief or a murderer?" He shouted angrily, glaring at her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think things through. I was just desperate," She said, bursting into tears and wringing her hands nervously.
Is your boss aware of this? Does he know you sent a total stranger to me?" He asked without looking at her. He wasn't going to allow her to emotionally blackmail him with her tears.
"No, he doesn't know. Please don't tell him.
Please," She cried, going on her knees.
"For someone I met today, you seem to be asking for too many favors already. And I wouldn't say I like it one bit. Find her. Help me find that lady. That's the only way I will forgive you," He said, storming out of the room.
Victoria got up; she was in real trouble this time. She had managed to fall into her trap. No one would forgive her, not even Adrian , if they found out what she had done. She quickly left the house.
