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.

Does that mean I need to pretend to be his wife? What for?

Haist Savannah, pretend you are. that's better and maybe someone will benefit from pretending like that.

"Choose. You stay as my employee or be my wife?" He asked.

I kept my mouth shut and thought.

"Alright..I'm ready." I said.

"Good. Here wear it so you'll look decent. We will walk into my company building together. Be ready there are lots of paparazzi around." He says.

He left the car first so I could get dressed.

I'm wearing it okay! Looks decent! So yes!

When it was over, I knocked them outside and said I was okay.

I also put on the sing-sing he gave me.

I just noticed that those two are connected.

He went inside again and then sat next to me.

I felt the car move out of the parking space and turn towards the entrance of the building.

He's making a show huh? I looked at it. He is really handsome even though he has freckles on his face.

He shouldn't be ashamed of himself because no matter what others say he is still the one to decide his life.

Look at him now. His name is all over the country even overseas he is well known.

He's company became bigger and bigger and the others can't match him anymore so why is he hiding his face from the public?

To avoid hurtful words? Yes, I totally forgot that we are living in a judgmental society.

Just one look at you, they have already created something that you will issue.

When the car stops, he didn't make a mistake as the paparazzi immediately approached to take pictures of his car.

His secretary came out from the passenger seat and opened the door for us.

Mr. Monroeville came out first then he extended his hand in front of me.

I reached for it and got out of the car.

I felt his grip on my hand tighten so I looked at him.

He's not used to a lot of people? But why is he doing it?

"Mr Monroeville, is that true that you are married."

"Mr Monroeville why don't you take off your mask?" I looked at the person who said that.

I felt it stop when I saw who it was.

A tall blonde woman was in front of the paparazzi holding her gucci bag while smiling sweetly.

"Oh my...is this your wife? You really got no taste on woman don't you?" It's still teasing.

I wanted to reach out but it wouldn't let me.

It just kept walking so I was pulled.

"I will be very excited when that day comes Gabriel." he shouted.

We have entered inside and the eyes of the employees are looking at us now.

They bowed together and greeted.

"Good morning, Mr. Monroeville."

He just nodded then he walked away still holding my hand.

We walked into the elevator and I couldn't escape their questions today.

"Isn't that Savannah? Why are they together with Mr. Monroeville?"

"Yes, they will hold hands."

"He's the rumored wife?"

"Halaa! How lucky he is!"

"Yes, but until now he still hasn't removed his mask."

"I'm also curious what Boss's face really looks like."

Those are just some of the things I heard before the elevator door closed.

"Promise me you should never take this ring off of your hand-uh never mind." He said then he let go of my hand that he had been holding.

What really happened? It's very fast.

I sighed and focused my attention on the floor.

I just hope I don't slack off in this job.

"It's really beautiful here in Macau!" I shouted when I got to the hotel swimming pool. I don't know what happened but I know that this is my year, that I was lucky because I was chosen in the raffle earlier in the office and I was still with my longtime crush at work, this is my year, yes. This is your year, Elaine. I was about to go back to my room with Luke because it was almost night when I noticed the bar section, I haven't had a drink even once so I'm going to try it. "Can I have 1 bottle of tequila?" I asked the bartender. "Yes ma'am, but are you sure you really want to have a bottle?" he asked. What's the problem? "Yes?" I answered hesitantly. "Okay, here you go." He said and I poured it into the wine glass. The first sip, the taste is bold but delicious at the same time. I drank more and more until I finished a bottle. Little by little I got dizzy so I went back. "A-ahh, I have a headache." I just said as I walked towards our room, my vision was double. "R-room 609. A-that's it." I can't walk properly anymore, I feel like I'm going to fall down anytime. I was about to click my card on the door but it opened immediately even though I hadn't put it in yet so I just went in and laid down. I noticed that Luke was also here, smelling like alcohol. "Hmm.." he said and hugged me while lying down. "L-luke..." "Sera..." who is sera? and why does Luke's voice seem to have changed? I'll just think about it tomorrow, I can't think straight because of the tequila I drank. "L-luke, what--- He kissed me, I couldn't see his face because it was dark here. I returned his kiss and we spent the night together *tomorrow* *cring, cring, cring* I rubbed my eyes because it was morning, I saw Luke with his back to me, naked and me WHAT?? did we really do that? I smiled, it's not bad for my first time because it's him. "Hmmm.." I was suddenly surprised because he turned around and suddenly hugged me, I didn't even see his face. "Is it morning already?" he asked, is luke really english? Besides, does his voice sound different? Is it really like this when you just wake up? "Yes, luke, let me go. I'll cook you breakfast." He was surprised by what I said. "Luke? Who's luke sera?" he asked. "Sera? Who is Sera??" I asked again, he was surprised and suddenly faced me, I just stared at what I saw. A very smiling creature, but he is not LUKE!!! "W-Who are you???!!" he shouted. I stood up suddenly and took my clothes while the blanket covered my body and went to the cr. "Lady, I am asking you, why are you in my room??" "I-I don't even know what happened, and what's your room? It's my room!" I shouted inside the cr while getting dressed. What did I get into? Why isn't that Luke? Why was I drunk last night?? "That's it, I'm calling the guards." he said and dialed. I quickly stopped him but they answered. "Hello sir? What's the problem?" "I need you to come here right now there's an intruder in my room." he said angrily. "What intruder? This is my room!" I was surprised because the guards were quick and there were more of them. "What happened Sir?" asked the one with glasses who was not a guard. "This woman right here is saying that this is her room" "But it's true--- "Your card ma'am?" I gave my card and it said 606. We looked at the name of the room and the number 6 at the end was italicized so we couldn't figure out what room it was. "This is room 609." "But the number was sideways and I was drunk last night so I didn't notice!" "I am so sorry Sir Fontello for this misunderstanding, this is our fault. We will take responsibility about this." the guard said, wait fontello? as in the fontello company that wants to partner with our company? The biggest company? "M-can I ask? S-who is he?" I asked the one with the glasses while they were busy. "He's Sir Van Fontello. The CEO of fontello company and one of the billionaires of our country." I can't move where I am, a billionaire? so i had a one night stand with a billionaire?
