Christine’s POV:
Alice Michael and Lawrence were all in the hospital with me. While having lunch we watched the TV program that Scarlett was hosting.
“Our Scarlett is much better than other host in their TV station. She speaks clearly and graciously.” Michael exclaimed while watching the TV and Alice and Lawrence nodded in agreement.
That moment I noticed that Scarlett’s right cheek had not healed yet, which made me angry. “That mother and daughter duo has sweetheart. We can’t just let them go easily or they are going to think that the Moore family is so easy to bully.
“Shall we fight back then.” Alice blurted out.
“We should. After all\, that Susan is a b****. She hit Scarlett first and then she caused the scene at the hospital and then forced my grandson to marry her daughter. They both are so annoying. If we don’t teach them a lesson then they will get too cocky.” I said agreeing with Alice.
“I don’t think that would be a good idea. If things go out of control then not only will their reputation get damaged, Scarlett might lose her job. I just don’t think that it will end well.” Michael said as he put down his fork and sighed.
I thought for a while and said with an agreement, “Then we’d better think if there is a better way to handle this.”
Alice eyes lit up when she saw Scarlett on TV. “How about we tip the media about Scarlett and Charles’ marriage?”
“Do you want to expose their marriage?” Alice and I had the same idea “That way Rita will not be Charles fiancé but an outsider who is trying to destroy their marriage. That’s a good idea. With the public’s opinion everyone will take Scarlett’s side. Even the internet crowd and they will help us punish Rita and her mom.” Michael also could not help but agree with us.
Lawrence did not comment but since the majority was on my side the matter was settled.
Scarlett’s POV:
After work when Nina and I walked out of the TV station we noticed Charles car coming towards us.
“This is so annoying. Our dinner is going to be delayed now, but your lover is more important. So let’s have a dinner some other time.” Nina protested in disappointment before she waved goodbye to me.
“Alright.” then I watched her leave, smiling.
Charles got off his car and walked up to me. “Hurry, grandma is still waiting.”
“Hospital is not to far from the TV station I can walk there by myself.” With that I walked forward wanting to avoid my colleagues see me talking to him.
“It will take a long time to get there on the foot. With an impatient look in his eyes, he stepped forward, grabbed my hand and pulled me to his car.
I tried to get rid of him but then I noticed that some of my colleagues seem to have noticed the commotion between us.
I was so furious that I felt my blood boil under my skin. Seeing that more and more people were watching us I had no choice but to get in his car. As soon as I get sat in his car I got a call from Nina.
“Oh my God! Charles is secretly married.”
“What.”
“It’s a trending topic! The trending topics Scarlett. As a media person don’t you pay attention to what’s going on around you.” I hung up the phone and typed Charles name on Google. The search results were news about his secret marriage.
“Who did this?” Charles grabbed the phone from my hand in surprise, however there were not traces of anger in his eyes.
“So it was not you.”
“How could that we possible? If I wanted to leak the news, then do you really think that I would wait until now to do it? It was not me.” He explained.
I didn’t expect such a news to come out now. Feeling nervous, I racked my brains and came up with an idea.
“How about we divorce right away and then you can get a marriage certificate with Rita. That way you will be able to announce your marriage to the media.”
If that happened then no one would be able to find out that Charles and I were married.
“But the marriage certificate is not with me, so we simply can’t get a divorce.” Charles give me my phone, looked the deeply into my eyes before he turned to look outside the window.
When I recalled that Christine had pretended to be sick to take away our marriage certificate, my head ached. I was almost certain now that I would not be able to get the certificate back from her.
Feeling desperate I came up with another idea.
“Aren’t you powerful? Can’t you use your influence to get divorce without a marriage certificate.”
Charles sneered as he turned to look at me.
“Thank you for your appreciation. But why would I take the risk and do an illegal thing like that.” His words left me speechless.
There was a flower shop next to the hospital. Thinking that I should prepare something to show them that I care I ask that driver pull over.
I walked to flower shop and Charles followed me.
“Can I get a bouquet of lilies.” Christine had always liked lilies and I knew that since I was a kid. The owner of the shop was a friendly looking middle-aged woman. She put down the scissors in her hand and walked up to us.
“Hold on for just a moment.”
“Ok”
Since the shop was close to the hospital, they had good business. In order to prevent the shop from getting to crowded, they had a lot of pre-made bouquets too.
The owner then took a bunch of lilies with one hand and red rose from the flower rack with the other hand.
“You two look like a perfect couple. If a couple comes to buy flowers we are giving them are rose as a promotional gift.” The lady said kindly.
“But we are not a couple.” Looking at the rose that she was holding out to me I refused to take it.
Stunned by my reaction, she looked at us in confusion. “But you two look like a perfect couples.”
“This gentleman has a sweetheart.” I explained with the smile.
Hearing that she apologized with an awkward smile. “I am sorry… it doesn’t matter if you are not a couple, it’s just a flower…”
“We will take it.” Charles took the rose from her and glanced at me coldly like he was warning me.
The woman looked at us for a moment and smiled trying to figure us out. She was obviously thinking that we were a couple that was having a fight. I was not in the mood to explain to her again. After all she was just a stranger and I did not care about what she thought of us.
With that I took out some cash to pay the lilies. However when the lady was about to take the money, Charles handed me credit card.
“Use this.”
I stopped and looked that him and our eyes met for a moment.
“The pin is your birthday.”
“Here you go Ma’am…” I turned around ignoring him as I handed the lady the money and left with the flowers.
Charles sighed and followed me. He then gave me the rose.
“Here you go…”
“Thank you…” I took it from him and put it in the bouquet that I bought for Christine.
Looking at the red rose among the white lilies Charles frowned slightly. He wanted to say something but then he choose to be silent.
The flower shop was not far from the hospital so we decided to walk the rest of the way. However as soon as we arrived the hospital Charles and I got the feeling that someone was following us.
