Marriage Contract

A Con Artist?

Where am I...?

When I turned around, I see Ryou in his tuxedo.

Oh! And I'm in my wedding dress...?!

That's right... Ryou asked me to marry him... So, have I married him already???

Alexis:"Huh?!

When I wake up, I realized we're in the same hotel we stayed in last night.

Alexis:"Was I dreaming...? That scared me..."

But did all that stuff yesterday really happen? When I dragged myself out of the bed, I don't see Ryou, and I don't hear the sound of the shower either.

I got changed, thinking that I should head back home...

Alexis:"Oh yeah, I have to pay for the room."

Even something small like a hotel room charge, feels like a lot when you're in a debt.

I opened my wallet with a sigh, but...

Alexis:"Wait... Huh?! I know I had more money in here! I can't find my driver's license, or credit cards either!"

Was he just a con artist pretending to be a famous star...?

If I got caught in a scam, when I'm already in this debt... Rock bottom wouldn't even begin to describe this... For what will happen..

All I could do was stand there in disbelief...

******

The next day...

My money, driver's license, and credit cards had all been taken from my wallet, I gaze dumbly around the room, looking, or even hoping I just dropped them... Instead I find a note on a table...

It says:

"I took your driver license, and credit cards, I'll give them back to you when you sign, and fill in the Marriage Registration Form."

Alexis:"Oh My Gawd! Are you serious! You must be kidding me! Ugh!" I gripped my fist, and smashed the table.

That's good thing to know, he is not a thief, who just got away, in the situation, but even worse I have to sign the Registration Form!

I realized I do this, I'll bring back my credit cards, money and driver's license!

I hurriedly pull out my phone, and called the number on the note.

*RING RING*

Ryou:"Did you just wake up?"
Alexis:"G-Give me back my driver's license, and credot cards!"
Ryou:"Of course, I'll give them back, but for now, I'll just hold onto them for now as a little assurance so you don't run off, right now I'm still working, so come to the office later, I'll give them back to you then, oh and don't forget to bring the Marriage Registration Form---- signed!"

*BIP BIP BIP*

He hung up on me.

I only have $50... That should be enough to get to his office...

I have to get back my driver's license and credit cards back as soon as possible, or otherwise I can't pay for anything.

Relying on the map Ryou scrawled down on the note.

******

I eventually arrived at his agency's office, it's a huge building, I didn't even know there was a talent agency here. It seems the one that Ryou belongs to is quite successful, it's modern building with a glass exterior, the symbol of a successful company. It's kind of imposing.

I went inside, smelling the fresh air, of the agency, to be honest, I felt at ease after that.

Alexis:"Hello, I uh.. Have come to see Ryou Saji..."
Reception:"You must be Alexis Frayco? We've been expecting you, please come this way."

The receptionist told me to follow her...

To the way we passed many doors, obviously their rehearsing...

Oh! That guy that just walked pass by is the one famous actor! And there's that singer whose really popular in the medias nowadays.

The receptionist leads me into the presidents office.

W-Wait...

W-W-Why am I in the president's office!? Oh my gawd... What if the president is going to expect me to pay them damages for getting close to Ryou?! Though even if they asked me, I couldn't even pay... In my hand, I have the Marriage Registration Form.

It's crumpled, but it's signed, and the witness section is all filled in too, I wonder... Why he did prepared this...?

I mean, it's just nobody carries a signed Marriage Registratiom Form around with them, even if they are determined to get married, but in my case I think I have to.
