A/N: Enjoy, while I do my evil laugh secrelty in the corner. You got a big storm coming.
I tapped the microphone twice before clearing my voice and announcing,
"May I have your attention please?"
The room fell silent in minutes and all the guests looked up at me anticipating my next move. A week after the engagement party Pepp and I told the news and the media we'll be holding a press conference.Tonight was the night I was telling the world that I'm stepping down from my post as the CEO and giving it to my younger cousin instead. I took a deep breath and looked over the guest; I was standing on a podium at the front of the room which gave me a clear look on all the attendees. Bubblegum who was sitting in the front row smiled at me, her friend Marcy was beside her furiously texting away. I looked at the far back where Marshall Lee stood, away from the spectators, dressed in black and fully disguised. I appreciated how he was giving all the attention to me instead of stealing it to himself. Marshall smiled at me and gave me an encouraging nod. I closed my eyes willing the throbbing in my head to stop so I could focus on this. I checked the paper in my hand going over what I wrote last evening while cuddling with my boyfriend. I can do this, I said to myself.
"I've gathered you all here to tell you important news. I, Bonniebuea Gumball, will be stepping down from my post as the CEO of CAN-DIEZ." The moment the words left my mouth everyone erupted in question and shouts.
"What does that mean?"
"Does this have to do with your relationship with Marshall Lee?"
"Who's taking over after you?"
"Why are you doing this? Is this related to your late uncle Lemongrab?"
"Ladies and gentlemen please settle down. The one to take after me is my younger cousin Bonnibel Bubblegum. And as for the reason of my resignation, unfortunately it's private. Thank you for finding time in your busy schedule to come here on such short notice."
And with that I step down from the podium and BubbleGum climbs up after me. "Good luck" I whisper and she smiles back in return. As I'm walking away Peppermint pats my shoulder and smiles at me, "You did good job, thank you for the last 7 years. It's been a pleasure working with you."
"Thank you, Peppermint, for taking care of me." I said back before the press attacked. They bombarded me with million questions at the same time and never stopped snapping pictures of me. The flash of their cameras was making my headache worse and I really wished to leave this place at once. Peppermint was trying to answer their question as much as possible, and Bubblegum was trying to get them to settle down and give her their attention.
Suddenly I felt a hand grab me from my elbow and pull me back. I looked up and saw Marshall; he took off his shades and beanie and made me wear them instead.
"Alright everyone shows over, go back to your places. The beautiful lady over there still hasn't given her speech yet, and y'all acting very rude now."
"One more question Marshall, what exactly is your relationship with Gumball? Are the rumors true?" asked a very nosy reporter
"You want to know the truth?" Marshall said and I swear I heard him smirk
Marshall turned around, pulled me to him and kissed me. I froze in my spot, I wasn't expecting him to do it right there in front the rolling cameras.
"That's all you get." He winked before he placed his hand around my shoulder and pulled me away from the reporters and out of the conference room. I sighed in content that the hallway was dimly lit compared to the conference room.
