My Unique Goddess: AZALEA

Jack hold Azalea's arm like he is trying to prevent her from signing their marriage contract.

"Eeeerrrr... yeah?!?!..." she's getting confused with Jacks attitude.

"I mean, marriage is a serious matter, don't you want to think about it first?."

"Nope!"

"Are you sure?."

"Yup!"

"But...."

Azalea sigh and put down the pen. She looked at Jack's face. "Are you for some reason having a cold feet?". Her brows furrowed. "This is just a so called marriage but not that real!".

"How can you talk about marriage like that, its a sacred thing." he snorted.

Azalea rolled her eyes. "Now he's talking about sacred things" she said it out loud. "Look mister, I know marriage is sacred and holy but we are binded by this contract that our ancestors." And she pause looking at the old man in the center seat. "made, but... If you really don't want to marry me, then I am willing to accept your inheritance and wealth with all my heart." She said it with full of sincerity.

Jack's face darkened. 'This woman have no fear and no boundaries, how can she just do something like this' his thoughts while agitated.

" As for me, I am willing to do this because I'm sure I don't have a big inheritance in the future, and I don't want to bother my father and my little brother... and also I know my stepmother and half sister will going to kill me if I took their shares." she stated the sad fact of her life.

Jack held back himself and became silent. He thought he understood something just now. 'This woman is just trying to save her family'. A scolding burst on his brain. This is her own sacrifice. Even though she is treated like an outcast of her own family she will still do what she think is right. His face soften, he feels a little humiliated but also feel like a victim. But she is also a victim.

"OK, let's do this." he finally decided.

Their marriage took place only in Jack's office, the old Shin invited an official from the registry to execute this marriage. They feel like they are just signing a business deal but after that they are a husband and wife now.

...

Jack is still in the state of shock, he can't believe he is married now but the worst part is, he's married not to his girlfriend but someone he just met in the banquet of the woman's half sister. And to top it all, his friend Ken seems to like her a lot.

He tried to massage his aching head. How will he going to explain his situation now to Sue. She will be heart broken. And Ken, this is the first time he saw him became overprotective to a woman. And that woman is now his wife.

A knock on the door pull back Jack to his senses.

"Hey cousin!" a warm and happy face walk in to his office.

"Trey, your back, how's the business doing in the US?" he ask him lazily.

The enthusiasm in his face sank down. "Did I miss something?" as far as he knows this cousin of him is full of energy every time his with him.

Jack look at him. His eyes are full of hesitations. He became silent again. Then, "I'm married." he confessed.

Trey who suppose to sit in the couch almost fell. "What did you say?" he's not sure if he heard him right.

"You heard me."

"To whom?...". He pause and think for a while. "Oh, you married Sue Antaler."

"Nope."

Trey's forehead wrinkled. "If not her then who?" he have no more option. All he knows Jack already stopped collecting girlfriends when Sue Antaler became his woman. But she didn't became his wife.

"It's a long story." he said casually.

"Well, if that story is really long, how about adding some spirit into it." and he smiled meaningly.

...

At the RE-DO.

Azalea can't believe she's already married. The word husband and wife never crossed her mind. She never even have a boyfriend before nor give up her first kiss but she just got a husband in a snap. She tried to feel if there something changed in her after she signed the marriage contract but she thought of none.

'Oh well, let's just wait after ten years if I can still hook up a real husband' she's convincing herself.

She made her way to RE-DO, they have a lot of customers right now who wants to re-design their cars because of a coming exhibit, this mean a hectic schedule.

"Cori, what's our status?" she ask as soon as she gets out of the car.

"Boss, two car at the same time, they already pick the design." handling her the data of both cars. "Oh, and Kirk just called there's a run on the zone."

"How much?" she got curious. Right now she have a new designed engine that havent tested yet.

"twety five million dollars."

"Get me in."

"OK." and he salute.

She studied the designs and think of ways on how to execute it in less than the time it will be needed. And put people who's expertise are in that area. And decided to put herself in the middle of the action too.

She took her cardigan off and put it in the locker that arranged near their toilet room. She took an apron and a gloves then put it on and head out to the work shop.

She started to instruct her people she knows they listen well and they are very professionals despite they age. Work first before play, that's one of their motto.
