2024-10-29 19:42:56The manager showed us the different styles and seeing them made me realize how sorry I am for the 'Man' kind. They literally have dress styles on finger count, unlike women. We, women, have too many different styles for dresses. So many that if a girl starts wearing one new dress every day not repeating the dress she wore till her death, there will still be plenty of dresses left. I looked at Adam with a small smile before passing an annoying comment.
"Hon, I feel pity for you," I said giving a pity look to him."Why may I ask?" He replied in a sweet yet respectable way. I wish he spoke like this even when we were alone. Such an asshole."Because you Men have only specified styles of dresses, unlike us," I said with a dramatic hair flip like in sitcoms or dramas.Before Adam could answer the manager spoke first."Yes, mam. And we have all the collections, from traditional to modern." She said with a proud smile.Related chapters

She really got some interest in him. I mean why the fuck are you trying to flirt with a guy who's going to get married in bloody fucking 3 days, bitch. It's irritating me. My face was giving away all the expressions and that's when I felt my hand getting squeezed, it was the hand that's holding Celine's hand. I looked at our hands and then looked at her. She gave a warm smile and shook her head slightly.I took a deep breath and gave a nod in agreement. We both kinda have a telepathic connection. We understand each other's minds and we can read them to the full extent. I turned towards Adam and saw he was about to say something. I didn't want to miss this opportunity. So, I spoke first before he can give away the old-fashioned ideas."Well, the modern one's. Isn't that your answer, hon?" I said the last part looking at Adam with a big smile."Y-yes, dear. Modern it is." Adam said with a smile. I have to say he plays along in these situations ev

The manager gave started showing different styles and this arrogant idiot was checking my wedding outfit. I mean does that even make sense?. I pity her IQ. And like I have pitied her IQ, she pitied the whole males, saying we are unlucky to have such a short number of styles. Well, I guess it benefits us, we get ready in no time, unlike these ladies. They take forever to get ready. At least one hour just to choose the dress. Another hour to get dressed, and another hour or two for those pathetic plastic coatings they call as make-ups. Gosh, once you see a girl without make-up you never want to see that face again. No wonder why this arrogant always comes late. Before I can speak sarcastically, the manager spoke first and this idiot made said things to satisfy their filthy brains. She sure knows how to do things at this market. I gave a pissed-off look and shook my head. She started looking at the book and seemed to be so interested in the book. Is

The moment I said I had my dress designed, Adam's face got lit up. Lit up as if he's able to get off from this shithole early than ever. The manager told us to wait for half an hour and left the place. What should we do in the meantime?.I can't just babble or fight with this idiot. Babbling with him is out of a box idea and to which I'm willing to stay inside the box forever. And the other option fighting with him, I hate doing it all day. I'm already tired of thinking of this idea. This idiot is not worth that.Moreover, I can't just plug up my headphones and listen to everything this idiot will sure say something else like behave yourself or act as if you're interested. I'm sick of listening to that from this bastard.So......what to do?. I looked at Celine and she gave a small eye roll. Yeah, I can feel her getting bored already. I just smiled and turned towards Adam. He was just looking at his phone and texting someone with making that stern fac

"Yes, totally forgot. We are looking for bridesmaid's and...." I paused and turned towards Celine. "Li, what about the best man's outfit?. Let's take it too." I asked. "Yeah, but we need that best man's measurements." She reminded me while leaning forward towards me. "We can ask Adam after he comes back. Let's take yours first, then we can go for the best man." I suggested. "Nice." She replied with a smile. I smiled and turned towards the manager. "Yeah, so we are also looking for a bridesmaid dress and the best man's. First, we would like to look for the bridesmaid dress." I explained to the manager. "Okkay, mam. Is there any color and design you are looking for specifically?" She asked. "Yes. Li, what was the color?" I asked Celine while turning towards her. "Rudy blue. Yours is light blue right, so it's Rudy blue." Celine answered. "Totally forgot," I said with a smile and

"oh, for that you need to ask the best man himself. He's over there." I said while pointing my finger towards Martin.The manager turned towards Martin and her eyes gave a sparkle as she saw two guys competing with their handsomeness in front of her. I saw her looking at Martin without blinking her eyes.'Is she always stares at guys who come to this company?' I said to myself with a sigh.I saw Martin giving awkward smile and slowly making his hand towards Adam's arm. He clenched Adam's hand to speak something. Poor thing, how can he be so naive. Adam will be the last person if you are looking for someone who gets you out of trouble. From my perspective, he's not even on the last.I consider him as the camphor that evaporates as soon as it's exposed to room temperature even without a trace. He's like a non-existing creature with a physical appearance. How would a fashion designing girl know about Camphor?. Well, my attention in physics
Married To My Rival. 23. Headache selections and freaking paparazzis.
The manager left the room and the situation turned back to reality. The fake love, fake emotions, fake words everything are got thrown into a dustbin and reality took over. I sighed and came back took out my phone.Honestly, speaking, I'm getting bored. Why does a wedding dress selection taking this long? Ugh, I really wish I had skipped this stupid procedure by giving any lame reason I get at that time. I took out my phone and texted Martin."What happened?" I texted with a sigh. Martin didn't reply, after few minutes passed by, he replied."Nothing much. I'm checking on the address that matched the address the cell company gave." He texted."What do you mean by nothing much?" I texted back."We couldn't find any idiot here. The inquiry with the people in the surroundings is done, we didn't get much information from them. Some even didn't know that the people lived here. As we thought fake IDs." Martin replied with ey

As soon as we entered the restaurant we were greeted by the waitress."Good evening. How can I help you?" She bowed and asked with a smile. Frankly speaking, after everything that has happened today, her smile is the only thing that felt genuine other than Freaking Adam's confession of my dress earlier. Just ignore the part of Celine. She's the only person whom I feel truly genuine towards me."Good evening. Can we have a table for four, please?" Martin asked after greeting her. See, there's a reason why I say he's a gentleman. He greets people irrespective of their superiority or inferiority. He treats everyone the same and I highly doubt Adam has the same gentleman feature.Well.... by looking at the facial expressions of the waitress it feels like she feels the same way. I mean she seemed happy and looks like she goes a feeling of being respected when she saw heard that."Yes sir. This way please." She responded still having tha

As soon as we entered the waitress greeted us and we soon took the table. All thanks to Martin and his respectable gentleman behavior. No wonder mum always used to scold me, she always said I should learn to give respect to others from Martin. I scoffed after recalling that and that's when the reality struck and a frown appeared on my face. The waitress left the place and I took the menu. I started looking at the food items on the menu when I heard a beep sound, it was that arrogant's phone, but as soon as she saw whatever fucking matter is on that stupid text message she got, her face turned into a worry and a light sadness started clouding her. She immediately started searching for something or someone. It felt like she's scared more than worry. I'm pretty sure it must be one of her mad behavior. I sighed in annoyance and shifted my gaze back into the book. Then I heard the babbling of these two stupid girls and that's when I heard Martin callin

I didn't knew a honey moon would be this fun. It's really been a long time since I went out without any stress or tensions. I know Martin can handle the company but I still ahve my doubts. I really hope this idiot won't mess things up. I hate seeing those kinds. It was a nice move in doing work even during this time. Things were going pretty well."Hold on, let's be friends in the first place. I don't want things to be worse by us fighting even when I'm having a vacation." Evelyn sighed."I was thinking the same. At least let's not fight." I added. I'm really sick of these fighting and I don't want her to cry more than what she already cried.We went to different places and had so much fun time. I didn't know things were this good with her when we stop fighitng."You're working?" She asked."Yeah gotta check some documents before signing. Not everyone have people like Lyla to take care of." I shouted back."What so, you're jealou

I walked back into the room and found the track pant and t-shirt he preapred for me on the bed. I grabbed the clothes and changed into them. They smell exactly like him. Ha, they are tmepting. I didn't look at his house completely. So, I thought of taking a look. I was looking at the room when I saw a photo on the bedside table. In that I saw Ralph along with other two persons. Must be his parents. He looked cute when he was young. Was it during his graduation?. He was holding a bouquet. I was keeping the photo back when it felt down. Oh, shit, please don't break. I kneeled down in a hurry and grabbed the photoframe. Luckily, it didn't break. I was keeping it agian when the below shelf held another photo."I didn't notice it here." I said to myself as I grabbed the photo. My smile faded when I saw, I saw Ralph and another guy hugging each other while the other guy kissed his cheek. It wasn't graduation one but sure Ralph looked younger in it. Were they related?. Is he h

On top of that, this bastard left me with the new project details. I took my phone and called him."Hello?" He answered with a happy tone."What are you doing?" I asked with a casual tone as I clenched my fist."Oh, I just went to an amusment park with Evelyn. She's fucking scared with the rollar coaster. You should have seen her face. She nearly died of heart attack." He said in between his laughter. Damn he's enjoying his life where I was beaten to death by this stupid work."Hey don't hit me. It hurts even if it's a pillow. Hahaha, it's true though." It's been 4 years since I heard that smile and teasing from him. God, I missed that smile..... so much. All my anger and the reason I called has calmed down and a soft smile appeared on my face. I can't resist but to smile knowing that he's finally happy."Hello?. Martin you there?" He asked after getting tired from fighting."Yeah." I said while shaking my head to come out of the tranc

The moment Master said, I can take care of the company, I almost fainted. My body felt numb and I was about to fall when Ralph held me."You alright?" He asked."Yeah, just sensitive to shocking news." I said as I held my head.Mr. and Mrs. Lawrenson along with Master left the mansion and my anger was fuming."Let's go home." Ralph said with his cute tone."Just a minute. I have something to discuss with Adam." I said while gritting my teeth."O-okkay." He replied. I walked to his room and flung the door open. As I entered the room, I saw him packing his bags."You're here?. I was about to call you." Adam said with a smile as he looked at me from his suitcase."What is it?" I asked maintianing my cool composure."I want you to take care of the company for about two weeks." He said adding fuel to my anger."That's what master said." I said gritting my teeth."I know. And send me the files that are need

I didn't get what happened at the party. All I know is I was having a headache after I took a drink and felt drowsy later on, then slept. I don't even remember how I came home. But the words Adam said scared the shit out of me. I slammed the doors later on when Adam strictly told me that he fucking fired me from the office. I was crying in my room, when I heard a door knock. I didn't care. I didn't even replied, later on the door was opened and felt another person's presence. A strong smell hit my nose and I realized who it was even before knowing that person."L-Li." I said softly and broke out. She ran towards me and hugged me from side."What happened?." She asked with a worried tone."I-I don't know. Adam shouted on me and fired me from work. I don't understand why." I said in between my sobs."I'm here. It's fine." She hugged me tight."W-Why is this happening to me?." I cried out."It's fine. Come to Paris with me. I'll take care of ev

A lot of things changed recently. The work pressure increased than I thought, I had to maintain my mental fitness along with my physical fitness too. The contract went good irrespective of Mr. brown's pervetness. But still something seems off with that guy, he doesn't look like someone who leaves Evelyn easily, but why the fuck is he obsessed with her that much?. Damn, I agree she's beautiful and.... yeah, hot too but that doesn't mean he can act the way he does. My blood boils every time I see him near her. I was trying my best to get another contract but things doesn't seem to work out. Even though we made profit, the company's position in the market is still not up to my expectations. I didn't expectthe company to be on 1st place I would be greedy to think that, but still the position isn't that good at present. Even after all these, I found two things interesting and they are the things that made me happy. First, Evelyn's change of behavior. She's been acting strange lately, I m

"I know, I know. But my dad don't know about us yet." I said with a small tone as I looked at him. "So?" He asked with a confused tone. "So.... He might get doubt and I don't want that. I'm happy that you dropped me. Understood?" I asked as I cupped his cheeks. "Hmm." He said like a kid and looked down. "Good. I'll be going then. Bye." I said as I left his cheeks. "What that's it?" He asked with a surprised tone. "Yeah. What else do you want?" I asked as I shrugged my shoulders. I know what he's refering to and I can't stop but tease him. Seeing him act like a kid, sulk like a kid is a rare thing to do and I don't want to miss this opportunity. "Nothing. Good night." He said with a dull tone. I smiled with his sulking. God, save me before I die with his sweetness. I leaned forward before calling him. "Ralph." I called. He looked with a sulking face. I tilted my head to the right a bit and gave a quick kiss on his

"S-so, you haven't moved on?" I asked with a slightest hope."You're still asking?. Why do you think I joined the company?." He asked with an unbelivable tone."Then why did you act cold towards me?" I asked as the pain regained it's strength and the past events showed up."What else was I supposed to do?. Should, I say, Hello, Mr. Harrison, I joined the company as your secretary just to win your heart and make you fall in love?. Even it sounds ridiculous." He said with an angry tone."Then why did you do that?." I asked as a tear rolled down from one of my eye. I couldn't hold bakc anymore, the fact that he's moved on all along was eating me up and the fact that I'll loose him ws piercing my heart every second. But even after knowing both the facts are lies, I couldn't hold myself anymore. I want to run into his arms. I miss the warmth he's giving. I hate him for making me suffer."Why?. Don't you know it hurts me to see you acting cold and like w

Martin's POV: I said my goodbye to the Harrison couple and walked towards my cabin. I saw Camellia outside but with a anger funsed in her face. What's gotten into her early in the morning?. "Good morning. Ms. Camellia." I said with a smile but she huffed in reply and left. Weird woman. I opened my door and found a familiar personality with his back towards me. I checked again thinking I went inside someone else's cabing but I was in my cabin, then whose is this person?. "Hello. Who are you?" I asked as I stepped into the cabin. He turned around..... my body flinched and eyes widened in shock when I saw that person. "Hello, Mr. Harrison." He said with a smile. "R-Ralph???" I gasped softly. My body started trembling and I couldn't hold myself anymore. I wanted to run into his arms..... I took a step forward but I stopped. "W-what..... what are you doing here?" I asked clenching my fist and trying hard to control myself. "My
