Unveiled Promises

SAVANNAH

"ARYA! ASK FOR THE SOFTCOPY ON THE FURNITURE DESIGN AGAIN. There's something else I haven't done yet." I said.

"Sure! I'll just send it to your email." He says.

"Thanks!" I said as I started to finish the rest of my work.

I was in the middle of reading and memorizing what I could use as a design reference when suddenly someone approached me.

"Ms Angeles?" It called my name.

"Yes sir?" I answered.

"Come with me." He said.

I was surprised but I still followed him.

As far as I remember he was the CEO's secretary.

Does that mean I will be fired because of what I did yesterday? Wow! It's not hard to apply for the same job!

I swallowed a few times as we walked down the lounge to the parking space.

"Wait? Where are you taking me?" I asked.

It didn't answer me. He brought me in front of an expensive car then he opened the car door.

Is that a limousine?

"Get in, someone wants to talk to you in private." He said.

I got into the car and saw a man sitting there wearing a mask but I remember the color of his eyes.

I closed my eyes, Mr Monroeville! Sh*t I'm saying he's going to fire me!

"Why are you closing your eyes?" He asked in a very cold tone.

"Number one rule : don't stare the CEO in the eye d-"

"Stop." He said.

I tightly held the side of my dress and closed my mouth.

Whatever comes out here is annoying.

"Open your eyes. I have something important to deal with you." He said.

I opened my eyes and looked directly at the floor of the car.

Its seat was facing me like I see in the movies beautiful cars then the high-

A brown envelope was thrown and I looked at it.

"Read and sign it, quick." He said that's why I looked up.

I couldn't see his whole face because he was wearing a mask, but I could feel the coldness in his eyes on me.

I turned my attention back to the envelope and read the contents.

M-marriage certificate? Confused, I looked up at it and asked a question.

"What am I going to do here?" I asked.

"Eat it." Philosophizing it.

I forced myself not to look at him badly and he might even scold me.

"I am offering you marriage. Isn't it obvious?" he added.

"But...why me?" I asked.

"Well, you were the first person who didn't judge me on our first meet so-"

"But.."

"Just sign it and then I'll order someone to get your things on your apartment because you're going to live with me." He said and handed me a ballpoint pen.

Even though I was confused, I signed the marriage contract that was resting on my thigh.

He held out a small emerald-colored box. I opened it and saw two sing-sing.

"The top ring is our engagement ring while the bottom ring is our wedding ring." It raised its left hand and I saw a sing sing that was the same as mine.

"Wear it, I will have a conference meeting later so you should come with me. I'll introduce you to my board of directors."

Yes, he is having a meeting but he is not showing up at that meeting.

Is it a video call? I don't know.

How much do I know? Arya told me those things because the CEO's secretary is her boyfriend.

"That's too fast." I asked.

"Why? Don't you want to be my wife? I can ask someone to do the job." it said.

Ah job, it's just a job for him.
