My head ached so badly when I woke up the next morning. It was as if I carried the whole world on my head alone. I checked my time, and it was almost seven. I got down from bed, went to the bathroom, took my bath, and went out.
I sat down at my makeup desk and began thinking of the news I saw last night.
‘'Robert is a very well-known person in LA, and it was announced that I am his secret girlfriend. It's a very bad thing for me because I have to get ready to be criticized by citizens who have always dreamed of becoming his wife.’' The horn of the car outside jolted me back to reality.
I wore a tight black gown that showed all my sexy curves. I took my luggage and went downstairs. I didn't bother telling my parents I was leaving because I was sure they wouldn't care or might end up delaying me.
The car was already waiting for me. A man in a black suit came down from the car and helped me with my luggage. I entered the car and took out my phone.
"If you are reading the news, you should stop, because you won't like anything they are saying there!" The driver said.
""I know I am being criticized because I'm now known as Roberts's wife, but why? Won't Robert get married again? Or do they want him to be single forever?"" I asked.
"Boss Robert is an influential person in LA, it's normal for you to be criticized, but don't go through the Internet or you may decide not to marry him again, "he answered.
I looked at him through the car window, he might. He knew about the contract marriage between his boss and me. Well, I don't care.
"So where are we going?" I asked.
""Boss Robert has an interview today, so you won't be going with him. He wants to make it official to everyone that he is getting married, all you have to do is, change!"" He pointed his hand to the bag beside me. I looked through the bag, and it was a newly bought Celine cloth, the cloth every girl would want to own.
"Am I supposed to get changed in the car?" I asked, but he didn't answer me, instead, he shook his head and kept driving.
After some minutes, we arrived at a big hotel. I got out of the car, I looked at the name of the hotel, and it was W World hotels. It was a 5-star hotel that screams luxury. Most of the things there are made of gold. I didn't need anyone to tell me Robert owned it. ‘Being rich is great.’ I screamed in my head.
Suddenly, the maid and guards began coming out of the hotel and then bowed to me.
"Good morning my lady!" they chorused. I smiled inwardly. It was the first time someone had addressed me like this. If this is how sweet my world is going to be from now on, then I am going to enjoy it to the fullest.
""Good morning my lady! I'm the working vice manager of this hotel. We got a notice that you would be arriving here. It's a pleasure to meet you."" She said with a bow.
"Thank you!" I replied.
"I'll show you around!" She added and I nodded.
She showed me around the hotel and, to be honest, the Wilson family was great. How? One can even get lost in this hotel.
"We will take you to the dressing room ma!" She interrupted my thought.
I sat down near the mirror as a makeup artist made wonder at my face. I didn't know I was this beautiful, but I knew I was beautiful and many admired my beauty.
"Wow! She is very beautiful.""
"The president has an eye for a woman."
"If I was a man I would take her away from him."
"As long as I can admire her beauty from here, I don't need to ask for much."
""I'm sure there would be so many men trying to compete with Boss Robert, but who again? There is no way anyone can beat him.""
The workers behind me kept whispering among themselves. I smiled.
"Ma! How did you meet the manager?"" One boldly asked me.
"Hmm! We met at a tour gathering in London. I sat next to him, we chatted and then left without sharing a number, and as fate would have it, I met him again at a restaurant. I didn't know he owned that restaurant, that's how we went on until we began dating."" I explained.
I should be given an award when it comes to lying.
"That's nice! Seeing you, I already know you are a great person with a kind heart!"" She said and I smiled.
""Enough of your question, you would be making her feel uncomfortable. And what are you doing here? Shouldn't you all be at your respective posts?"" The vice manager yelled.
"Leave them. I guess they are surprised that Boss Robert is getting married, when he hasn't brought a single girl or seen any girl before.""
"I understand! What color of cloth would you be wearing? I don't know which color of cloth you are familiar with…""
""You don't have to worry! Robert bought clothes for me. I'll be wearing it, it's inside that bag"". I showed her the bag.
""Seeing you and the boss getting married, I'm sure it's time for me to understand him fully. Thank you for coming into his life. At least I'm sure he will stop being a workaholic and focus on his private life.""
She said with a smile. If only she knew I had no say in his life and this is just a contract, huh! What a life! Just to make money.
"I would! But I don't think I would be able to stop him from working, because I'm sure his life depends on it."" I said and laughed.
""The interview will begin very soon. Show me the room where I will change!"" I said and she bowed.
I stood up and followed her behind wherever the room was. I almost entered the room, when someone from nowhere spilled a drink on me. Looking up, it was…
