"Your getting married!!"
I covered my ears at the high pitch scream coming from my secretary. I have informed her about my engagement but, I didn't expect her reaction would be ear piercing
"Your so loud, that my ear started ringing" I scolded
"I'm really sorry Ms. Herman, I was just surprised with your sudden announcement" she apologized looking down in guilt
Jia my secretary may be overdramatic. The thing I like about her she has genuine personality and it's easy to tolerate her
"Your just dramatic, ugh I think my ear is still ringing" I said, while covering both of my ear. Clearly annoyed by the fact of obnoxious ringing of my ear
"Uhm, I think your phone is ringing" Jia pointed to my phone which in fact indeed to be ringing
"Tch, don't ever talk about this" I said and she nodded in reply. I stared at my phone, I clicked my tongue. Tied for all the useless phone calls
I put my index finger through my lips indicating for her to shut up. She then bit her lip while she quietly stand at the side
It was another wedding congratulatory phone call from an investor that I didn't remember who. I then politely hang up the phone call
And placed it on my desk nearly toppling my tea cup.
"Would you mind me asking who are you getting married to. I'm pretty sure that you are not dating someone or could it be that you have been secretly dat-" I cut her of before she finished her sentence
"It's an arrange marriage, do you really think I would fall in love with man I don't need. I can manage on my own"
"But, it would nice to rely on someo-" she immediately shut her mouth feeling flaming glare for a certain scary woman
"Who is he?" she shifted the topic
"Dylan Hawkins" I replied
She placed her hand on her mouth to cover her jaw dropping from shock. The files that she was holding earlier fell in the floor messily. At least she didn't scream
"You mean the owner and the sole heir of the Evergreen Enterprises. A multi billionaire that have helped his business grow like a wildfire. Your going to marry... Him?"
"I can't believe it that I will get married to that bastard" I said and slammed my hand on my desk
I saw her swiping through her phone. Is she googling him?
"You guys could be a great couple" she muttered underneath her breath
"What did you just say?" I asked and glared at her
She flinched and tried to make me feel better but failed "I mean your right you are not suited for each other..... But he looks so handsome" she gushed, while fangirling at his picture
She then showed it to me on her phone
"Aren't you supposed to be on my side" I asked, extremely offended
She immediately changed her expression with a terrified look on her face and immediately hid her phone.
"I mean... Damn! That bastard! You both are not a good match! Despite him being so hot!" she yelled
I sighed at her own failed attempt of cheering me up
"That's not really helpful but I will take that. Now give me the reports for today"
"Yes ma'am" she took the paper on the ground and storms of the room as speed of light
"Wait!" she immediately froze hearing my voice and politely turned around
"Prepare a dress for yourself your going to attend the funeral" I said in a nonchalant manner
Jia already understood what she said
"When will the wedding be?" she asked, with a small smile on her face
"after 2 days" I said then covered my ears in advance
"WHAT!?"

While I was signing the papers my door immediately bursted open and then I saw Jia with a huge grin across her face
"Do you have the reports I asked for you?" I inquire, then stared at her. I saw her holding a giant box. I frowned seeing how she struggled holding it
"What is that?" I asked, then deepened my frown
"It's mail for you" she beamed, with a bright smile
"Mail from who?" I asked her to go on
She gently placed it on my desk and tried finding the receipt from were it came from. She found it but, was hesitant to speak
I got impatient and took the piece of paper she was holding. I then read the words written in bold capital letters
"It's from Dylan Hawkins" I said, I immediately crumbled the paper and threw it onto my trash bin
I opened the box seeing a flower bouquet with a box of chocolate. Jia took a quick glance inside
"Really? That's very sweet of him" she said, then immediately took back her words feeling a piercing glare from her boss knowing that she hated that name
"I mean.... how inconsiderate he gave you a box of chocolate it should be dark chocolate you might have a toothache. That's not good for you" she huffed, while crossing her arms
"But he gave you roses that's really nice" she murmured under her breath but, I still managed to hear every word
"It's yours now I don't really want it" I said, then gave it to her
"Really?" she asked, I nodded reply. She jumped in joy. She was about to hug me but, I stopped her from doing so. I never like hugs. It always made me uncomfortable
"Thank you so much, my siblings would really appreciate it" I simply nodded
She then glance at the box again
"I think is there something else inside" she pointed at the box. I glance at the box and saw a smaller box. I opened it revealing a beautiful adorned diamond necklace
"Wow, I never thought Mr. Hawkins would go this far" Jia commented, still in awe staring at the necklace
There was a note on the side 'I hope you wear this on our wedding day. I personally brought this for you'
It was too shiny and too extravagant. It wasn't a bit of my style. It has too many jewels. I would look weird if I wore this. It would probably be heavy while, dangling on my neck. I might even choke or die
"It's not a necklace, it's a dog collar" I blurted out
"A dog collar? I think that's too harsh" she said, while staring at her boss in disbelief
"I'm th one who was forced into this. His claiming his property and I don't like it. I'm not a toy he could play with" I snarled, and glared at the necklace
"Then I will try playing with this game" I said, I handed Jia the box
"Please sell this"
