Chapter 52: $20,000 for a year and $6 for a hundred years
The flight attendant leaned over and responded gently with a professional smile on her face:
– Ireland.
…
Dublin, Ireland.
4 o’clock in the afternoon.
After she and Sebastien entered the hotel’s presidential suite, he allowed Roxane to choose the room first as a gentleman would.
…
At the same time, Patrice and the other company superiors who were staying in another suite also moved in.
At that moment, one of them asked Patrice:
– The company has no activity here as far as I know. Did President Flores bring us here because of a new project?
Earlier, the superiors had received a call in the middle of the night, asking them to pack their bags and go straight to the airport. For this reason, many of their wives were unhappy, wondering if they were having affairs outside.
Patrice, the only person who knew the inside story, cleared his throat before responding:
– Indeed, there is an important question.
Inwardly, he said to himself: “The president’s personal matter is indeed an important matter!”
The few executives were stunned.
– What is this? What should we do to prepare?
Under everyone’s watchful gazes, Patrice said ambiguously:
– President Flores has already made the necessary preparations. We just have to listen to him and cooperate with him over the coming days.
– Very good, we will certainly cooperate with him.
-Assistant Black, if you have any inside news, be sure to tell us.
Patrice only smiled as he thought: “I have insider news, but unfortunately I can’t say anything.”
…
The next morning.
Sebastien brought Roxane to register their marriage.
Patrice had prepared all the necessary documents for them to register their marriage.
After handing the document to the person behind the counter, he looked at Sebastien and Roxane before saying a long series of words to the duo.
Roxane:
– ???
The other party had spoken in Irish, so she didn’t understand a single word. She could only look at Sebastien with anxiety.
Sebastien lowered his head and explained:
– He asked us to choose the duration of our marriage. A year, ten years and 100 years ago. Depending on the year, the fees are different.
Roxane’s eyes widened. She never knew there was such a thing and found it quite novel.
– Can we do that?
Sebastian nodded.
– It’s $20, 000 for one year and $6 for 100 years.
Roxane responded immediately without thinking:
-Then we should definitely choose 100 years! We would be fools if we chose to pay $20, 000 for a year of marriage.
In her opinion, it wouldn’t be awkward for her and Sebastian to come back when they wanted to divorce. This could also be considered a vacation.
A hint of a smile crossed Sebastian’s eyes as he said softly:
– All right. 100 years it’s been…
Roxane nodded.
Sebastien then turned to the staff and spoke to them about their choice in English.
The staff smiled and quickly completed the formalities for them.
Meanwhile, Patrice, who was standing nearby, could only watch helplessly as Sebastien acted like the big bad wolf who coaxed a little white rabbit with only 6 dollars.
“President Flores, you are quite naughty…”
After 10 minutes, Sebastien and Roxane finally received their marriage certificate.
When they left the room, Roxane asked with a smile:
-Now that we have the marriage certificate, we can clear your name, right?
Sebastian’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly as he met her bright gaze. He responded with a casual,
– Hm…
She said enthusiastically:
– That’s great ! I can finally help you.
Sebastian’s lips curled into a smile as he said in a low voice:
-You really helped me a lot this time.
Roxane fell into a daze when she saw the dark eyes, thick eyebrows, and smile on the handsome face. Sebastien was as beautiful as a painting. When she came to her senses, she pretended nothing had happened and gently touched his burning face.
“Why are you blushing? Have you been infected by Jessi?”
As Sebastien still had business to attend to, he told Patrice to send Roxane back to the hotel first. He told her to wait for him and that he would take her out after he finished his work.
Roxane was very sensitive. She told him not to worry about her and that she would wait for him to return.
…
After Roxane left, Sebastien went to a jewelry store.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
A few executives were already waiting for him in the jewelry store. When they saw him, they immediately approached him. One of them said in a professional manner:
– President Flores, we have already inspected this jewelry store. The quality of their products is quite good and their designs are also very fashionable. In fact, many celebrities come here to customize their wedding rings.
Sebastian’s face remained expressionless as he nodded in response.
– President Flores, is the company considering entering the jewelry industry?
another executive asked shyly before saying:
-I think it’s better if we buy a mine to supply stones instead.
Sebastian frowned slightly as the store manager led him to the VIP room. He unbuttoned his coat with one hand and did not respond to the executive’s words.
The executive felt a shiver run down his spine, wondering if he had misspoke.
The manager had asked a salesman to bring in a few trays of rings. There were rings of all sorts of sizes and designs. Perhaps their only similarity was that the size of the diamonds was at least 10 carats.
Sebastien glanced at his employees before asking:
– What kind of wedding rings do women like?
The executive, who felt like he had expressed himself poorly earlier, was eager to make amends. He hurriedly said:
– I think the bigger the diamond, the better! My wife kept saying she wanted a diamond as big as a pigeon’s egg.
The other men nodded in agreement.
– A man can also show his love through the size of the diamond he buys!
Sebastian’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Although these words sounded reasonable, he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. How could love be measured by money? The diamond rings were beautiful, but they were cold and empty.
– Following.
The director ordered more rings to be brought back.
The meter-long table was filled with trays of dazzling wedding rings.
At this moment, Sebastien was looking at a ring in the corner. Although the size of the rock was not large, the design was quite beautiful. A ruby was in the center of what looked like a blooming flower.
The manager was very observant. He quickly explained to her the design of the ruby ring, saying that the ring symbolized love and was perfect for pampering one’s significant other.
“Okay, put it away,” Sebastien said, handing her the ring.
At the same time, the executives looked at each other in confusion.
“Who is President Flores buying the ring for?” Is the rumor true? Is he in love?
Following this, a photo appeared in their minds, and everyone thought in unison,
“P*t*n! He really is a pervert in love with a minor.”
Executives began to wonder if they should talk to the public relations department to prepare for the disaster that was sure to occur. Then they thought it would be best to notify the legal department first.
Everyone felt like they were helping the bad guy right now.
…
When Sebastien brought the ring back to the hotel, he did not know that he was now a “pervert” and a “beast” in the eyes of his employees. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a young woman sitting on the sofa with a pen in her hand. She was so focused on the drawing that she didn’t realize someone had entered the room.
