Wife? Already?

It was already 8pm on the dot. The exact time when the banquet which was a feast meant to welcome the noobs of High Life Entertainment Company would begin. Although, the timing was set at eight pm, a lot of people already filled the hall and some already arrived before the accurate time.

It was a beautiful hall with magnificent decor. A long and expansive table that could accommodate a number of thirty people stood in the middle of the hall with a chandelier illuminating light from above.

The table was beautifully arranged by the staffs. Empty cups and plates were kept accordingly, in a manner that they should be. The people who had already arrived had not taken their seats yet, they stood around and made acquaintances with the others and a few number of them minded their businesses. The murmurings and laughter from the people blended with the soft music that played in the background, making the environment merry and lively.

The people who attended weren't much. Both ladies and gentlemen were dressed on their best clothes and wanted to impress their colleagues. It was already competitive in the air.

Meanwhile, inside a hotel VIP suite. A man stood before the full view mirror and was doing his black tie properly. He looked handsome in his two-piece royal blue suit. His hair was did and combed backwards, making him even more handsome. He oozed of so much sex appeal that could magnet any woman on sight.

His hazel eyes stared at the reflection in the mirror and it stared back. For some odd reasons, he could feel his heart thumping loudly in his chest, it was an uncomfortable feeling and Trevor wanted it to stop, but it didn't stop. Instead, it intensified whenever he thought of Jesy and his plans for tonight's banquet.

Trevor let out a huge amount of air from his mouth. He stared down at his mask that laid on the small table beside the mirror. Unlike the usual simple black mask he wore, this one had a gold colour at the edge, it had a floral design in gold colour that could make the already mysterious Trevor even more mysterious.

Dennis walked into the suite, he was done with making sure the arrangements for the banquet was in place. He sighed when he stared at the back view of Trevor. He already knew about everything Trevor planned to do tonight, he was Trevor's assistant after all. Dennis would not deny the fact that he was extremely shocked at the revelation when Trevor told him everything, from how he met Jesy and ended up having an unexpected one night stand with her. It never occurred to him that Jesy was that drugged woman in that bar the other night.

As much as he hated the idea, he couldn't convince Trevor against it and Dennis knew he had to respect Trevor's decision. If the plan worked out perfectly well, Jesy would become his boss's wife. It sounded really bitter in Dennis's tongue. It sounded so easy, but what was the assurance that everything would work out as planned? Except Jesy would be a cheap woman that would accept so easily, considering how handsome Trevor was looking today.

"You sure everything is in perfect order? Recheck them if not. I wouldn't want anything to fall out of place."

Trevor's voice yanked Dennis out from his thoughts. Trevor's voice was as deep as always, that, Dennis noticed. But then, there was something else laced in his deep voice, was it nervousness, because that was what it sounded like. Good lord...

"I have everything in order sir. And it looked like all the guest already arrived, except Ms Anthony."

Dennis informed and stepped closer towards Trevor and admired his boss's good looks, if only he was a woman. Hehehe...

Of course, the exact reason why Jesy hadn't arrived yet was because she wasn't told the accurate time. It was Trevor's orders that they should tell Jesy to arrive just an hour later and neither Akira nor Clara was aware of it.

From the mirror, Trevor eyed Dennis's reflection and it caused Dennis to look back with unspoken questions. Dennis hated that look from Trevor. Whenever Trevor shot him that look, it only meant that Trevor was displeased about something, what now?

"Soonest, she would become my wife and your lady boss. You better get rid of that displeasure whenever you talk about her, except you want to loose your job."

Trevor hissed and walked away from the mirror, leaving Dennis dumbfounded. The words Trevor spouted was unexpected for Dennis. Who would have thought this was the reason for Trevor's displeased look. Trevor was really getting hard to understand as time ticked by.

Wait. Did he say wife? Already? Wasn't he going to do the boyfriend and girlfriend thing before they go straight into the marriage kind of thing? Wife? It sounded so absurd to Dennis. What should he do? Voice out his thoughts or keep shut?

Trevor who stood before the window and was staring outside turned and faced his capable and intelligent assistant. He narrowed his eyes at Dennis and he could already guess that Dennis had something to say.

"What is it? Go on, speak."

Dennis bolted and sighed. As expected, his boss could read him just perfectly well. Dennis took two steps closer to Trevor and he opened his mouth to speak.

"From your words, I can tell you're already thinking about marriage. But, don't you think you're way too fast? People do usually go into a committed relationship first. Then they get to know their partners before they even think about marrying. Marrying her right away would only scare her and she wouldn't want to have anything to do with you. You know, things like this is a huge turn off to a great number of women out there. You can't loose your chance due to carelessness and impatience."

Dennis spoke in one breath and waited to hear what Trevor would reply. For some reason, he already knew that Trevor would stubbornly disagree, he knew Trevor very well, the man was extremely stubborn and wouldn't want to listen to what others would say. However, Dennis's hopes were lifted high when he saw the expression on Trevor's face that showed that Trevor was deep in thoughts. It seems like Trevor was thinking his words through.

Trevor let his gaze linger on Dennis for a good amount of time. He was thinking about what Dennis said. Maybe his assistant was right after all, but then, on a second thought...

Trevor took a few more steps closer and covered a huge gap between them, leaving only a little space.
