Trapped With The Cold CEO

Chapter 2: I am so fired

As the red-light switched to green, i drove off quickly.

I got to a medium-sized Bungalow. According to the address, this is the place. I looked at the card. " dressing area" was written boldly before the address. I got down from my scooter and carried out the box carefully.

Just then, a young woman came out of the building.

"Uh, excuse me, is this the dressing area?" I asked

"Yes, wait, are you from the dress delivery company?" the woman asked me in return.

"Yes."

"Come, come." She said, leading me inside.

We past by few people, women mostly. some looked like make up artist, hairstylist, and beauty experts.

Others looked like they were getting ready for the wedding. They all looked flawless.

'Wow'

Then, I followed the woman into a room, where i met with just three women.

I guessed two were beauty experts. The third one was sitting on a chair in front of the mirror. She had a really pretty face.

"Miss Seline, the dress is here." The woman took the box from me and placed it at her front.

The bride, Seline, just stared at the mirror without saying anything.

She looked rather sad.

I still had to get to work in time, so i have to finish up from here. Then, I moved to her side to get her signature for the delivery.

"Um, ma'm, could you sign here and....."

Suddenly, tears dropped from her eyes continuously.

"Ma'm, please stop crying," the woman said pitifully. Seline then turned to me

"I don't want to marry him, I... I had someone, but they locked him up, they chased him away like he was nothing." she cried.

I felt sorry for her. it seemed like she was forced. As she tried to calm herself down, her expression changed as if realizing something.

She looked at me and said, "Everybody out, I want to talk to brielle in private."

At the same time, everybody moved out, leaving just me and her.

I was still looking confused, "I saw your name through the name tag." She said.

"Okay, soo? And I'm gonna need you to get to the point, I don't want to be late." I said.

She seemed hesitant before she quietly spoke.

"Please, brielle..... can you... go as the bride instead of.... me?"

She requested reluctantly as she stood up with pleading eyes.

'What?' I said in my mind

What the hell does she think she's requesting?

Is she crazy?

Go as the bride to some wedding and get married to some unknown man.

I didn't know if I was the one who didn't hear it well.

"Sorry?" I looked at her unbelievably, and she looked at me with a pleading and sad look. Well It seems like I heard it well from that look. I just stood there at first, unmoving.

"I do not think you realise what you're asking me to do for you." I said, shaking my head.

"You just have to go as the bride, say I do and..."

"Become a wife to an unknown freaking person." I cut her off.

"Sorry, I don't usually use swear words to people i just met, but... you want me to....".

I stopped as she signaled me to lower my voice, giving me a pleading look. I didn't even realize my voice had already gotten louder.

"Ma'm, I don't even know you." I said, in a low voice.

"I know, I know I'm being stupid and selfish. I don't wanna marry someone I haven't met, but I want someone else to." she admitted as she sat on the couch. I felt really sorry for her more than i should be.

"I am being selfish right now, but I'm not this kind of person. Please, just help me and I promise brielle, I'll be really grateful. i'll be forever indebted to you." She begged.

"I'm so sorry, but I can't." I decline at once.Seline's tears were now falling once again. "Why don't you just refuse, I mean,you are rich, so can't you just stand your ground and disagree?" I asked, trying to find a different solution.

"I've tried but.... not all rich people are given a choice to live their life freely." She said, and more tears flowed.

"Please just help me, please," she continued begging.

"I....", I was about to refuse when...

"I'll pay you any amount you want, I'll double it." She whispered desperately.

On hearing that, my expression changed.

Any amount.

Yes, yes, i really need money at this point.

I shaked the idea off immediately. refused. "Umm... I'm sorry, i really am... but I just can't."

She looked very unhappy, and I couldn't help it but feel guilty. she just nodded and smiled a little.

As I was about to leave, I heard her silent cries, and honestly, now I felt like the villain for saying no.

I reached the door anyways but my legs stopped, and I knew why. My mind wasn't at rest anymore. My chest felt heavy knowing that i could help.

"Breathe in, breathe out,"

I kept telling myself, but it wasn't working.

I needed money, and not just that, i can't just leave her like this.

I wanted to help her.

I finally made up my mind after several silent curses.

"I am so fired."

I sighed and said silently to myself.

I turned around

"Seline... what do i have to do?"
