Wherever in Canada
Days since the wedding
The chatty passengers on the plane began to cautiously disembark as soon as the plane touched down. The final two were a man and a woman who were holding hands and had broad smiles on their faces.
While breathing down Robert's neck, Olivia turned to face him.
The question, "Babe, do you regret anything?" She enquires as he appears mesmerized by her doe eyes and looks at her with such adoration.
Naturally, no. The love of my life is you. Robert kissed her lips and screamed, "I never even loved her. " Her face broke into a mischievous grin.
"Will you remain in love with me forever?" As they made their way through the airport, she questioned.
The others around him were just staring at them, wishing to go home and rest after the long journey, when he said with a smile, "Yes forever."
She held out her hand and asked, "Then can you give me the wedding ring that you were going to give her as a promise ring?" Robert pulled out the last ring he had and put it on his girlfriend's finger in an effort to win her over.
He smiled and added, "For you, and only for you.
"I'm grateful. I'm grateful. She tightened the grip and said, "I love you, sweetheart.
I too adore you, Robert retorted.
With a wicked grin on her face, Olivia gazed up in front of her.
Bella, you are out of the game.

QOTD: Sunshine or Snow?
My assistant walks in and says, "Mr. Marco, the president is here and requests to speak with you." I nod my head without taking my eyes off the documents.
I respond in a cold manner, "Let him in." After a few seconds, I hear the door close, suggesting that he has left.
A minute or so later, the door receives another knock.
"Enter"
I turn to look when I hear the door creak open and see my father entering with two guards following behind.
He commands, "Wait outside the office," and the two guards nod their heads and go back. After slamming the door behind him, my father moves over to the sofa and takes a seat.
I say "Father" to him, disturbing the stillness.
"Son. How is everything coming along?
Well, I simply answer. I frown and look up when he is silent for a significant amount of time to see what is going on.
Alex, I need your response in more than one word.
He gives me a frown as I mockingly remark, "It is going well."
Do you have the agreement with Nationals Inc.? He inquires. I slap my forehead.
Since there was a problem and their company's representative couldn't attend, we have decided to reschedule. I mention that the meeting is tomorrow, and he nods in agreement.
After a brief pause, he says, "Alex," and upon hearing his coddling tone, I rolled my eyes in anticipation of what he would say next.
When are you going to tie the knot? He asks, and I shake my head in response.
Not soon, please.
You need a wife, Lorenzo. You are aware that unless you have one, I cannot totally transfer this business to you. When are you going to help this elderly man get some rest? Your late grandfather listed this as a prerequisite. He continues, "It's time for me to retire, son." He began to shake his head while I simply looked at him without showing any emotion.
Please, son, simply locate someone who can assist you in running your business. He keeps on, trying to persuade me.
He continues with a sly grin, "You do know that if you hit 30 and you still haven't gotten married, i will have to give this up to someone else. I peek up from my papers to rage at him, but I quickly avert my eyes and browse through more paperwork.
He asks again, "Would you like to arrange a marriage for you them?"
I respond coolly, "Absolutely not," which makes him sigh in defeat.
"Child, what do you want me to do if you are that stubborn?" He throws his head back and yells.
I retort casually, "I don't know, burn the requirements contract." He stands up straight and gives me a wide-eyed look.
"What, and I never got the go-ahead to even give it to you? Be realistic, Alex," my father advises, before lowering his gaze.
I understand that you have a lot on your plate and that you don't want to do this, but if you could just finish it for me, I'll leave you alone. Once you have the firm, you may act whatever you choose. Okay?" He claims to be attempting to cut an arrangement.
"Father, I'll come up with a solution. You must leave because I need to meet up with Roman right away, I tell him, and he sighs one more time before getting to his feet.
"I'll depart now. Keep my promise, Alex. He says firmly, "Think about it," and I nod in agreement. He exits my office by walking to the door, and I close it behind him.
I return to my work with a groan, finish a few more papers, and then collapse in tiredness on the desk. I spent the entire morning getting paperwork ready and going to meetings; even after that, I never had a break.
I glance down at my watch and get out of my chair. I pick up the phone and dial my assistant.
He salutes with "Mr. Marco".
"James, Roman and I will be leaving my office. I say, and I hear some moving on the other end of the line. "If anything happens, let me know right away, and if my phone can't be reached, call Roman."
"Sure, that. I'll inform you. He says, "Have a great time," and then he hangs up. I get to my feet and leave the office. I unlock the door with the keys I take out of my pocket and turn the knob a few times to make sure it's locked.
I reach for my phone and dial Roman as I make my way to the elevator. After I took over, he was supposed to designate me as the company's Vice-President. My father has been by my side the most of the time ever since I moved in with him.
He screams mockingly, "Oh my baby had finally decided to call."
Roman, stop. I have left. Have you already arrived?" I inquire icily.
Such a mood killer, but I'm getting close. Also, would you mind explaining to me why Lisa continues pounding on my door, demanding that I give her your number and telling me that she is your girlfriend? he asks. As I speak, the elevator door opens.
She wants to pretend as like we are dating or something because she was the only female partner I had when I worked with her the one time my father assigned me to work with her. On the other end, he laughs, "I never even had a bed with her.
You didn't, of course. You're still virgin, he makes fun of.
He laughs and says, "Honestly, I'm surprised that with your features you haven't been labeled as a man whore.
As we descend on the main floor, I avert my eyes from the phone and just hang up before putting it back in my pocket.
As I enter the lobby and leave the building, all of their heads drop to the floor or turn aside. I am allowed to pass by the guards posted at the back who respectfully nod their heads. I find the rear and go out through there after finding the automobile.
I approach it and unlock the door before entering. I start the car and place my stuff in the back seat.
