A Marriage of Convenience (SaTzu)

Chapter 1

Tzuyu's POV

I stared at outrageous woman who casually wore my shirt like she has every right in doing so. Why destiny is so cruel to me? I asked myself silently. The last thing I want was another scandal attached to my name. I haven't yet recovered from the humiliation with the fact that my bride runaway the day before our wedding to meet her ex lover.

Now this tabloid thing, I was caught entering my hotel building with a drunk woman in my arms. This was all her fault why I was in this kind of situation again. She's now spouting nonsense about marrying her now that her family name was disgrace. What about mine?

"Are you still drunk?" I asked casually. Because that's the only reason I knew why she's telling me this rubbish.

She shook her blond head and smiled mischievously in my direction. "No, I'm not drunk anymore though I'm just suffering from slight headache." She walked where the telephone. "Have you had your breakfast? No?" She dialed the reception area and ordered breakfast. I just watched her in disbelief.

"We need to sort this mess as soon as possible." I picked up the tabloid I bought awhile ago after my morning run and showed it to her.

"The only thing we can do with that unfortunate tabloid incident is to wed. Like I said there should not be a scandal attached to our precious family name." She suddenly moved where I'd been standing bare foot. "You're really pretty. Last night you were slightly blurred in my eyes like a bad connection while watching YouTube."

I took a step backward when we're already standing inch away from each other. "Has anyone told you that you are too bold for your own good."

"Many times," She replied with a smile, stalking after me slowly. "I believe that being bold is part of my charm. I hope you are not immune to my charm now that you are now my bride-to-be. Oh, that reminds me I still don't know your name, honey." She held out her hand. "Minatozaki Sana. You can call me Sana and you are..?"

"Tzuyu." I shook her delicate hand briefly. "Chou Tzuyu. And let me clear this to you. I'm sorry but I will not marry you. If you want to get your inheritance please look for another person who will gladly help you with your quest. I am not that person."

"Tzuyu-yah?" She asked cheerfully. When I nodded, she pouts at me. "But I really like you. I think we will suit each other. You are the perfect one for me. Why are you against in marrying me? I'm beautiful, kind, independent, and intelligent don't forget a super rich woman."

I smiled sadly in her direction. "I'm sorry. I don't have anything personal against you. It's just I don't wish to marry anymore in this lifetime, at least."

She advanced in my direction again. She gave me this dazzling smile. "I can change your mind, you know? Will you let me change your mind in your view of marriage? I pretty good with that. Want to try?"

I took several stepped backwards. I shook my head resolutely. "Oh no, you don't. I think you already proved that point last night." I haven't forgotten the spew that covered my shirt through the night. "Please don't make a habit of kissing strangers you just met. Value yourself high."

"Oh, I did kiss you last night, then?" Her blue-grey eyes filled with confusion as if trying to remember the night before. "I thought it's just a dream. Anyways, it doesn't matter I'm a modern Japanese woman and kissing gorgeous stranger is just fine."

"I'm a traditional Taiwanese woman." I replied firmly. "I don't like women with such bold attitude. Please don't take it personal this is just a general observation."

She smiled at me, her eyes gleamed with deviltry. "Why don't you try to reform me then? If you marry me I will try to be a good Taiwanese wife for you since you help me access the money grandfather left for me."
