His last minute bride

7

-Eri Sunville-

I woke up to the most terrible headache ever. What happened? I sat up, masagging my head with my finger and thumb wrinkling my forehead as I tried to remember what had happened.

I widened my eyes when everything came back to me like I was watching it on TV. I remembered talking some crazy thing about the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

"What have I done?" I ran my hand through my hair in frustration. I have obviously lost my job. "Arggh." I shook my head aggressively, kicking the air. Why did I have to drink?

Suzy walked in with a cup of what I guessed would be hot tea. "Who was that handsome dude that dropped you here?"

I took the cup from her. "That 'handsome dude' is my boss." I didn't hide the frustration from my tone.

"Your boss?" Suzy said in between her laughter. "What was the song you were singing about? I've never heard of it."

Song? Oh my, I remember now. When Don was bringing me to Suzy. Oh no.

Flashback

"Oh Don Jones, the riiiich get richer la la la, the poooor gets poorer hmm hmm hmm. The riiiich getting richer, the poooor getting poorer."

End of flashback.

I covered my face with my palm. "Suzy, I apologize but I think I've lost my job." I turned to see her expression, expecting her to be as sad as I am but instead she was laughing. "How is that funny?" I furrowed my brows, casting a shadow over my eyes.

"Well I doubt if you'd get fired."

I rose an eyebrow. "What do you know? You know nothing about Don."

"Well, I might not know anything about him but I do know that he didn't seem angry at you, in fact when you were singing awkwardly he was actually laughing at me."

"Laughing? You don't have any idea what you are saying." Don Jones laugh? "It's like saying you saw an ant lift a mansion. Don is not capable of things like that, not in a million years. I've never seen him smile not to talk about laughing."

"Well, I'm just telling you what I saw yesterday." She shrugged leaving the room and me to actually wonder if she was correct. No way, Suzy was probably imagining it. He's not capable of things like that.

I can't imagine how I'd face him on Monday, thankfully it was Saturday so I could get myself prepared for how to face him.

***
How would I face him now? I inserted my card in the hole, entering inside as soon as the door opened. I hadn't prepared enough fo what to say. As always, he was sitting on his desk, typing on his laptop.

Maybe if I just walked to my office and try to avoid any discussion relating to what happened on Friday, everyone would be happy. I rushed to my office door. As soon as I held the door knob to my office, he just had to stop typing on his keyboard.

"Miss Eri." I turned to him immediately. He didn't say anything which just made me anxious, was he going to speak anytime soon. Maybe he wanted me to bring it up.

I sighed. "Listen, I apologize sincerely for what happened on Friday, I didn't mean any of it, I was just too wasted." I tried to read his expression but he only had a blank expression on.

"I didn't ask." Ouch.

"Oh, sorry sir."

"I need you to cancel any meetings I have today."

I nodded. "Okay sir."

"We're going to my wedding hall today."

"What?!" I didn't mean for my voice to come out so loud but what can I do, why would he want me to go with him. Can't he let me rest for a day.

He furrowed his brows. "Do you have a problem with that?"

"Well yes, I mean no no not at all." What was wrong with me, do I want to lose my job before I get my first month's salary.

"Get ready, we're going in twenty minutes."

"Okay sir." I opened the door, entering my office. This man can't let me have at least one day rest.

Thirty minutes had passed and I was sitting in the car of a multi billionaire. I don't really enter cars that aren't taxes. It was so comfortable I would have slept if I wasn't still in work, I mean I'm going as a personal assistant, how could I even fall asleep.

I jerked my eyes open when I felt the car stop. "Did you sleep well?" His voice didn't show he was annoyed, as he got out of the car that had been opened by a bodyguard, I got down too.

Did I really sleep? For how long? I didn't think I would sleep, that's just weird and,  Oh-My-Gosh, what is this place. Was this a palace or a wedding hall?

"What's wrong?" I didn't realized I had stopped walking until I heard Don's voice. My jaw was literally on the floor. What was this? Woah, I had never been to a billionaire's wedding hall before.

"Miss Eri." His voice came out more stern and when I turned to him, I noticed his brows were pulled together in a frown, his frown made me get my composure back.

I ran to meet him. "Is this really your wedding hall?" I had to ask, like I mean what?!

"Yes, why?" He was too fast and I had to keep up with his pace.

"Like, what?! This is literally every girls dream, I mean whoever said money can't buy happiness has probably never been wealthy before." Maybe it was because of this amount of wealth I was seeing, I found myself just blabbing out my thoughts.

I noticed him staring at me and I turned to him, expecting to see an angry Don but instead he chuckled. What was happening? Maybe Suzy wasn't imagining him laugh, maybe he was already going nuts.

Even something was wrong with me because his smile made my heart flutter a little.
