Chapter 8: chapter eight
Moore knows she could not back down now, though she has started to get exhausted from the whole competition things.
But since she made a promise to her late mother and also Mike and Monica already see her as threat. She knows that if she back down now, they will only get opportunity to match on her like they wanted and take everything that belongs to her.
"I will not back down" Moore let out and quickly shake his head to take off any thoughts of backing down.
"I think the pregnancy is giving weird emotions" Moore wonders where the thought of her backing down comes from. She thinks it might be because of the pregnancy.
"I must get married quickly and get grandfather's task down. Even if I cannot get the collaboration with Berries, I cannot allow Mike to get it either" Moore smirked wickedly.
She stand up to leave, and wonders if Enny already get someone for the proposal.
Because to her, it is getting late.
She would have done it herself, but since she is not good in stuffs like that, she ask Enny for help.
The moment she got into the car, her phone start to ring. She checked and realized it's Enny calling her.
She instantly becomes excited and quickly picks the call, since she has been waiting for Enny's call.
"Enny, you kept me waiting. How is the proposal?" Moore instantly ask.
"I got a perfect one" Enny replies happily.
"Really!" Moore thought it was going to take more time, but it's seems everything will go as planned this time.
"Can I meet him soon?" Moore quickly ask.
"Of course! I already discussed things with him and I think he will be perfect for the job" Enny replies.
"You can even meet with him in the evening" Enny adds.
"That's great then" Moore replies excited.
"Let's meet in the evening then" Moore adds and smile excitedly.
That evening, Moore decides to meet with Enny and the guy at a private room in a popular restaurant.
Since it is a Sunday evening, she is the first person to get to the place booked and waited for Enny and the guy.
The moment Enny comes in with the guy, Moore instantly get disappointed. The guy is just an average guy with his look and do not even meet her standard.
Enny quickly notice the disappointment on Moore's face. But she force a smile and welcome the guy.
"Have your seat" Moore said to him.
The guy looks at the private room excitedly.
"Wow! Such a luxury place!" He let out.
Moore turns her eyes disappointed, he could see that the guy must not have tasted riches before. He seems not to have any class.
"Madam" the guy instantly said to Moore smiling sheepishly and stretch his hand towards Moore for an handshake.
Moore looks at him disgusted.
"I have heard a lot about you. Am really pleased to meet with you" the guy adds. Moore forcefully take his hand and force a smile.
Enny also force a smile knowing Moore did not like him at all. He behaves like a fan boy.
"Miss Enny told me about the marriage proposal" the guy said proudly smiling. Moore smirked angrily, she could not believe who Enny actually brought to her.
Looking at the guy, Moore believe he will be a lousy person.
"Can we eat before we talk about the proposal" Moore said to shout him up.
"Of course! Of course!! I am even so hungry" he said smiling happily.
Moore calls for the waiter to serve the foods. After the foods were served, Moore turn to Enny.
"Enny, can we talk privately?" She said forcing a smile, Enny already knows what Moore wants to talk about.
"You can eat to your full" Moore said to the guy and pull Enny away from the room.
The guy don't even mind and devour the food like Moore tells him to. He eat as if he has not eaten for days.
"Enny, where did you get such daft? He looks like a fan boy. How am I supposed to make people believe he is my rich admirer?" Moore could not believe Enny will bring someone like that to her.
"Am so sorry Moore, I don't know he is such a person. Am even surprise to see him acting in such way when he sees you. He was initially well behaved and seems perfect" Enny tells Moore.
Moore sigh frustratingly.
"I don't think he can work" Moore tells Enny.
"So what do we do now? I already told him about the situation" Enny said worriedly.
"Can't we train him to be just like the person we want?" Enny said confused about what to do.
"That will take a lot of time, and that time I don't have. My grandfather has again giving out another task" Moore let Enny know the situation she is in.
"Another task!" Enny could not believe Moore is up for another challenge again.
"Yes" she stressed.
"I have to take care of the pregnancy issue as fast as possible" she looks so stressed about the whole thing.
They both sigh terribly.
"I will talk to him and see what type of person he really is. If he is ready to cooperate well, then I will make use of him, if not, I will send him away" Moore tells Enny.
"Alright" Enny nods and they both walk back to the private room.
To Moore and Enny's surprise, the guy has almost finished the foods served for the three of them. Both Enny and Moore glanced at each other shocked.
Moore knows that she did not need to talk to him anymore before sending him away.
Enny looked embarrassed to see that the guy is actually a glutton. When she first met the guy, he really looks okay and seems to be perfect for the marriage proposal. Enny wonders what actually comes over him.
"I can see you are really enjoying the food" Moore teased.
"Yes!" The guy let out shamelessly smiling.
"I really do not eat like this, but the foods are just too delicious and I couldn't resist them. Especially since they are free" the guy said focusing on the food.
"You rich people are really enjoying. The foods are so delicious and tasteful. I won't decieve you, am not this badly behaved but you know, now that am going to be married to a billionaire heiress and a beautiful woman from a very wealthy family at that, I should take the opportunity to eat well" the guy talks uncontrollably.
Moore and Enny glanced at each other again surprise about the kind of person the guy must be. Even before they get to know him, he already reveal himself to them.
"I think my friend here is mistaken. There is nothing like marriage proposal, it is just a business proposal" Moore quickly finds a way to dissuade whatever Enny might have told the guy.
"Actually, my company is launching a new noodles product this week. And I need someone ordinary for a some quick work, which is why I ask her to help me get one. But I don't think you will be suitable for the work" Moore instantly disgrade him.
"What!" The guy let out and stop eating.
"But miss Enny told me you are pregnant and needed a contract marriage" he adds.
Moore looks at Enny who looks disappointed in herself.
Moore quickly force a smile.
"That is not true. Can you even imagine, how can I be pregnant without getting married? She must have mistaken my business proposal for something else" Moore quickly put him off.
"Oh!" The guy let out disappointed.
"I really thought we are getting married" he said sadly and continue to eat.
"Of course not" Moore force a smile.
"Who will have a marriage with a daft like you even if it's a contract marriage?" Moore thinks and sigh deeply.
After the guy had his fill, he left with the money Moore offered him as transport fee.
Both Enny and Moore sigh with relief.
"So how will you get the appropriate person for the contract marriage?" Enny ask Moore.
Moore look lost thinking.
As the two thinks of what to do, the door to the private room opens. They both look to see if the guy came back. But to Moore's shock Ember walks in.
"I accept the marriage proposal" Ember tells her.
Both Enny and Moore looks extremely shocked.
