I'm just busy working here in my office when my personal phone suddenly rang. I looked at the screen to know the caller.
Harris?
Why on earth in this man calling me? Tsk!
"Just make sure this is important. Your disturbing me from my work." I say it rudely here.
We are both really friends We really hate being disturbed from work.
[Tss. Someone will come to you now. She has a proposal you can never reject.] He said.
"I have lot's of proposal now. I can't entertain ---"
Toot toot toot.
The line ended up.
Tsk! What the hell !!
I was just shaken.
A few minutes later, I heard someone entered my office. I did not lift my face.
"Ahem ... Good morning ..." I lifted my face the moment I heard her voice. I looked intently at her. Why is she here?
Madison Dela Cuesta.
"Ah ... I'm the one Mr. Stanford says is coming here." She said. I motioned her to sit on the visitor chair and she did.
"Yeah ... he said someone will come. So what's your business proposal." I said. She suddenly seemed uneasy.
"Ah ... ..." She said like she's not sure what to say.
I raised one of my eyebrows. If you are going to propose something, you should never show any hesitation. Or else your audience will doubt your capacity. She looked tensed.
"I-It's not a business proposal. It's a ..." she heaved a deep sigh.
"It's a wedding proposal. I'm proposing a wedding Mr ... ah ..." She looked at the nameplate on my table. "Mr. Choi." My jaw dropped at what she said.
What did she just say?
I'm waiting for her to laugh but she just stared at me seriously. Is she really serious about it?
What the f*ck !!
"Are you kidding me?" Can't believe I told her.
Wedding proposal?
The heck !!
She pouted with what I said.
"I'm not kidding you Mr. Yohan Choi. I'm not kidding. I'm proposing to you today."
Why the hell would she do that ?!
Propose a wedding?
As far as I can remember, she doesn't know me. I mean, apart from her sister and my close friend getting married, we have no other connection. So why is she telling me this?
"I know what I said is weird. But because ... I'm looking for a businessman to marry. I want to quit the company and take my place as CEO so I need a couple to give my future husband the responsibility. No. I can do it. Mr. Standford recommended you to me. He said you wouldn't refuse my offer. " She is still pouting at me.
I did not answer her. I'm still in a state of shock.
Yeah ... I get her explaination. But ...
I just looked at her blankly. She nodded.
"B-but if you don't want to ... I'm not insisting. I'll just look for someone else." She looked sullen saying those words.
She stood up and was about to walk out of my office. I closed my eyes and took a veey deep sigh before I spoke.
"W-wait ..." I told her. She immediately turned to me again.
Her innocent face was waiting for my words.
"Deal." Short if said.
"What did you say?" She said in shock.
"I said I'm accepting your proposal. Your wedding proposal to be specific." I said.
Her face lighten up in an instant.
"Really? Do you agree?" She smiled widely asking those words.
Tsk! How many times should I repeat what I said. I just boredly nod at her.
"Yes! I'm gonna be free! Wooh !!" She shouted in happiness.
Tss. She looks stupid now.
I took out my phone and handed it to her.
"Key in your digits. We will talk about your proposal more some other time. I'll just call you." I told her. She took my phone still smiling widely.
"There. Future wife is my name. Call me?" She said.
She is really into this sh*t, eh? I just nodded at her.
"Yey! I'm the first. I might be bothering you. Just call me." She said still smiling.
She's really happy. Tsk! I just nodded at her with a blank expression.
With that, she went outside my office again. I immediately dialed Harris' number the moment Madison is gone.
"F*CK YOU !! HARRIS !!" I immediately opened up to Harris when he answered his phone.
"Your welcome, Yohan." Laughing he says on the other line.
Chapter 2
Madison
"I don't want to. I really can't do that anymore !!" I'm here in Mr.'s office. Stanford as my face crouched here at his table.
I'm so tired of scolding the damn members of the company's board.
And as our business partner. Here I am with him working.
"I told you already Ms. Dela Cuesta. Your company should change your system. Or else you won't know where those missing finances are going." said Mr. Stanford. There is money as lost and not knowing where it goes.
"How many times have I convinced the members of our board to make our system more transparent so that we can find a way. But they really don't want to call. I really don't want to!" I can almost hear the word.
I heard Mr. laugh softly. Stanford.
"In that case you should know by now that they are the ones behind it." Mr. Stanford said.
"I really don't want to. Why did I take part in this problem? It should be my sister. In case she got married to Mariano. So I have no choice." I said still crouched at Mr.'s desk. Stanford.
Annoying!
Why am I trapped in this?
I have never dreamed of this in my whole life. My sister is good here. Because I dramatized in life so I became the CEO of the company.
Mommy and daddy are also old. But I never really dreamed of it. I have no choice.
I can't fight with those old people. I am referring to the members of the board.
I could argue in the corner but not argue with them. Arrrgh !!
"I really don't want to. I'm going to look for a businessman to marry. I'm not happy with my life anymore. I'm just going to get married so that my husband can handle our lonely company!" I just said.
"Your getting married?" Asked Mr. Stanford.
"Yes. I'm getting married. But I don't have a groom. Hehe. Maybe you can bring someone to me. Even if he's not very handsome anymore. He can just take care of our company. That's okay." I raised my face to convince Mr. Stanford.
Actually I'm really like him. It's like he's my older brother too. He has been my contribution since he helped our company.
He laughed softly.
"Are you crazy! Are you going to marry anyone?"
"Because. I really don't want to. I've been putting up with the company for a few years. Then the hardness of their skulls is over. This is the only way I thought of to escape here. I don't want to be confined to consumption for the rest of my life! All right That! Maybe you can tell me something. " I resent him.
"I'm sorry I can't think of anything that can come to you." Mr. replied. Stanford.
I was frustrated. But let's go. I'm just looking for my husband.
Operation: find a businessman to marry. Right! That's what I'm going to do. Fighting !!
Chapter 3
"All right. I'll just find a husband to marry. I'm leaving, Mr. Stanford. I'll find a furutre husband first." I said goodbye to him and stood up.
"On a second thought. I have recommended me to you. I'm sure he won't reject your proposal." Smiling Harris said to me. I smiled.
"Really? Who? Even if he's not very handsome and even if he's a little old. Just a good business man." I said excitedly. He smiled mischievously.
"He is indeed a good business man. You should go to him today. I'll give you his location."
He wrote something on a piece of paper. I think it was the address when he said that. He handed it to me.
I excitedly picked it up and read it. Choi group of companies?
"You should go to him today. He won't disappoint you." Smiling Harris said. I smiled.
"Okay. I'm going to be here now. Thank you Mr. Stanford." I told Harris.
"I told you to drop the formality. Call me Harris. Or brother. Nathalia wants to invite you to the house. You know she likes you a lot." Smiling it says.
"It's business because I'm here on purpose, so it should be formal, right?" I answer.
"Fine! Go now. Maybe the one you're going to leave. He is the CEO of that company. Tell his secretary that I sent you."
I just smiled at him and waved to get stuck. I immediately went to the address he wrote.
When I got there I saw a huge building.
Choi this group of companies. The size! The name seems familiar. It's probably a big business too.
Because I'm not familiar with other businesses here. I only stayed in France since I was a student. So I’m no longer familiar with the businesses here.
I just came back here when my sister and I ran away and ran our business.
I was nervous about what I was going to do but I needed to be brave. I know it’s madness for others what I do.
My sister ran away because of arranged marriage. Then I was looking for a mate for business.
I really want to get away from being CEO. This is my only remaining option.
I also can't just sell the company that my parents worked for. So I can handle it.
I entered our huge building. I went to the receptionist.
"Excuse me miss. On which floor is the CEO's office here?" I politely asked the receptionist.
It made me look from head to toe. Wow! . the way she look at me is head to foot. grrr ... thrilling !!
"Do you have an appointment ma'am ?!" An eyebrow is raised as it says. The eyebrow really needs to be raised.
"Ah ... Mr. Stanford sent me here." I answer.
I'm holding back. I don’t want to make a scene here. I still expect the net owner as my future husband. It's hard.
I saw it change its appearance when I mentioned Harris ’name.
"Ah ... sorry ma'am. On the 30th floor ma'am." Seems embarrassed to say it.
