Marriage Contract [ g.d ]

Chapter 3

"Are you alright?" A tall figure spoke.

"Y-yes. I'm sorry..." I uttered in embarrassment.

When I raise my head to look at the source of this calm and caring voice, I saw a serious looking man standing there, wearing an expensive looking suit.

"You dropped something..."

"Oh...I'm sorry," I responded.

He picked up the magazine I was flipping through and passed it to me. I didn't want to be seen reading this kind of magazine, especially not by a good looking man as this. My face turned bright red as I accepted the magazine. I felt him looking and I glanced up. The man standing in front of me was staring straight at me.

Wait, have I met him somewhere before? His defined jaw looked sharp enough to cut wood. He had a gleam in his hazel eyes. His biceps were toned. His brown, thick, hair was combed nicely. I had to admit he looked handsome.

"Are you hard up for money or something?" The mysterious man questioned.

All the pleasant thoughts I had about him vanished when I heard that. "What did you say?"

The man tilted his head slightly, "You're reading this kind of magazine, so you must be."

"No, but..." I couldn't find words to explain myself. Why is he asking me that when we only just met? Maybe he's in a less reputable line of work? I was about to glare at him and runaway, but I felt that same strange feeling again. I have this feeling that I've met him somewhere before. Also, there is no denying how handsome he is. "I shouldn't stare so intently at him!" I screamed inside my head.

"Hey, I asked you if you are hard up for money." He vocalized.

"Do I really need to answer that question?" I snapped.

"I was just asking," he teared into.

"Even though it is no business of yours?" I scolded.

"No business of mine?" He looks almost surprised in a slight chuckle, "I don't know about that. It might my business for all you know."

Surprised by his response, I had asked him again. He gave me an odd looking smile, turned his back, and started walking away.

"You will understand soon," He muttered.

"Wait..." I shouted. Unable to run after him, I just stared at his back while holding on to the Night-Time Job Search Magazine.
