Inside Time restaurant,
Hearing Melissa's question Sirius answers that with a smile "because you are the only person who tried to compete with me and is still doing that without getting down"
"Only that "
"It's enough of a reason to tell how resolute you are "
Melissa "( he is making me feel all shy) ahem, thank you for your praise"
Seeing her getting happy about his praise he also smiles.
"Should we order something" Ivan interject their lovely interaction.
Melissa gets embarassed for getting shy by few good words of a handsome man.
After ordering few simple dishes according to both Sirius and Melissa choices. As the lunch is finished by all the four people with small talks of here and there about business while Melissa trying her best to keep the cold beauty facade.
"Now I will come straight to the topic, marry me" Melissa speaks first
George is shocked beyond years and it can be seen on his face with wide eyes open mouth.
"Hmm, interesting and why should I ?" Sirius ask this while smirking
"I will tell you honestly my mother has a small cosmetic company which is the last thing that she did with all her heart in final days. My mother wrote a will that before twenty five I have to get married and that company will be mine otherwise it will go to government ".
"So you want a contract marriage, but Ms Melissa Kendall why should I marry you " Sirius ask in all seriousness
"You know that Kendall is the best company for import and export all over world so...." Melissa voice stuck in her throat when she sees Sirius and George facial expressions saying 'really'
"Ok second best company so marrying me also means extra money. Our cooperation will bring us both very good revenue and I heard that you are interested in starting up technological research centre and enterprise for selling them. It would only be profit for us "
" Is that only? "
" I am smart, talented and .... preety "
Looking at her face while covering his mouth with hand for five seconds Sirius says
"Okay let's do that. Let's get married "
Melissa (was that this easy. I had thought about thirty two reasons why he should marry me but he agreed earlier)
At that moment
George "I will call the lawyer "
Ivan "what now..."
George "yes we have to discuss few marriage conditions and requirements as we all are present now, right ?"
Ivan "...yes (aren't they taking this too easy or were they already prepared for this)"
