Xian was furious, he tossed the envelope at the bed side table. His father's words were ringing in his ears, Xian closed his eyes.Then reluctantly he opened the envelope, and took out a bunch of papers, with a post card size photograph pinned at the top, his eyes reflected amazement and after the initial moment of amazement, a menacing smile was left on his face,as unconsciously he touched his lips. He picked up his cell phone and gave orders to Radon.

"Grandma, I am going to the Civil Bureau, Lawyer Wun is waiting for me." Nui looked at Mrs.Tan's melancholic expression,she took her hand, "I will be fine, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."
"Nuinui..." the old lady looked at her with moist eyes, as a strong woman she couldn't break in front of her grand daughter yet again as this would hurt the girl, but she was on the verge of a break down. Mrs Tan hugged her grand daughter, "Always remember that grandma loves you, don't be hard on yourself if you can't bear it." Nui couldn't bear to see her grandma like this, she forced a smile on her face. In her mind the conviction to get out of this situation strengthened.

Radon had been waiting at the Civil Bureau office at the port city, he had already made the arrangements and the certificates will be ready as soon as the CEO's mystery girl would sign it. After sometime, he saw Lawyer Wun accompanied by a beautiful girl, in a turquoise wrap skirt and white silk blouse, she had ivory skin and delicate hour glass body, her features were flawless, her face was beautifully nurtured by God with perfectly curved eye brows, pointed nose, plump lips which curved up like a smile, but what made her the most attractive were a pair of innocent almond shaped eyes. Indeed she deserved to be the godly handsome CEO's wife. Somehow she looked familiar to Radon, he tried recalling where he had seen her.
Nui saw a fine gentleman with a boyish charm standing at the bureau's reception area, in case she doesn't mistake him for the CEO, Lawyer Wun stepped ahead, and extended a handshake to him, "Secretary Dunik, long time."
The man gave a warm smile, "Lawyer Wun, have you been well?"
Then Lawyer Wun glanced at Nui, "Miss Saue, he is Mr. Radon Dunik, Secretary of Mr. Xian Cinri. And Mr.Dunik, meet Miss Saue." Nui smiled warmly at him.
"Miss Saue, our CEO, has went for an important business trip, therefore he couldn't come physically." Radon said as a matter of explanation. Nui was relieved, she wanted to evade her meeting with Third Master Cinri as much as possible.
Now when Radon saw her closely she looked even more beautiful, suddenly he remembered where he had seen her, K City, Hotel Trancegrace. She is the same woman with whom the CEO got intimate the other day, surely she is no ordinary woman. Nui hadn't noticed Radon on that day, but what amused Radon was that it was surely fate that the CEO is getting married to the same woman. Now of course, Radon didn't know what came before what, the chicken or the egg, but the thought amused him. CEO must have known that she is the same girl, that's why he had called him at such late hour yesterday to make the arrangements, otherwise why would he agree to bring her. He is not someone to marry, he even didn't date women, rather he didn't like women around him, which made many people mistake him as gay, though that was not the case. But, does this girl know whom she is getting married to, is the same man who had been notorious with her at the club. There were too many unsolved questions around this woman. Radon was curious but he wasn't in a rush. He has learnt over the years that gradually he will get to know what he needs to know.
It was not even an hour when Nui received the certificate. She gazed at the certificate, she couldn't believe that just a signature changed her life!
"Madam CEO," Radon interrupted her thoughts, she felt uncomfortable being called by that name, but it was as real as the daylight, "I would like to congratulate you and wish you a very happy married life." he gave her a bouquet of roses with a card on it. "This from Mr. Cinri. And, I am really sorry, but, we don't have much time, so I would request you to pack the bare minimum requirements and you must start by an hour or so, it's a long drive to Zavik Megapolis. A separate car will be sent for you, feel free to tell me anything you need." Nui nodded to Radon as he handed her his card. He was astonished by her innocence and simplicity, of course she was young and naive.
Nui rolled her eyes unconsciously, thinking about her deplorable situation. She just had an hour before she would have to leave her home and head towards an uncertain life. Everything seemed so weird, she laughed in her mind thinking that she got married even without meeting her husband.
