Chapter 2 - The CEO's Ward

If there was anything like a perfect wedding, it would have been this. A night wedding by the beach, decorated with white flowers. The waves blew but it was the least of anyone's worries. Simply looking at the bride and the groom, everyone's problem vanished. They were so perfect that when people cried as the couple read their vows, they didn't cry because it was emotional, they cried because they were ugly and probably wouldn't find such a good looking spouse to reenact this moment with. Some cried because this wasn't their wedding— a perfect wedding. 

"Oh my...!" A man held his heart when he turned and saw the last person he had expected to see there talk more of the fact that he was standing beside him. It was his boss!

The boss who had just arrived, raised a hand to keep him from talking or alerting anyone to them. "You don't want to ruin this wedding." He said in a whisper as he looked ahead. 

The man nodded vigorously. No one was permitted to ruin such a perfect wedding. But he was so excited about the other man's presence that he found it difficult to keep his two feet up, but he had to try. He didn't want any sound attracting everyone's attention to him especially with the presence of his boss. 

"Don't they look so pretty?" The man asked out of sheer curiousity before he remembered his boss had indirectly told him to shut up. He slapped his mouth immediately the question left his lips and cussed himself silently. 

His boss kept looking ahead like nothing happened. His gaze was fixed on the couple. They did look pretty. The young man was in his mid twenties, he was 172 cm tall, fair, had a black hair which was combed to the back like a perfect gentleman, and had the face almost every girl drawled over. His suit looked like it had been made specially for him. Everything about him was perfect, just like the bride beside him. 

His bride was very young. She was 162 cm tall. Her striking feature was her brown skin. In the white flowing dress, she looked completely breathtaking. Her volumiouns curly hair was in a updo and her make up looked like it had taken quite an effort to make sure there was no fault.

"You may now kiss the bride!" The priest announced excitedly once they were done saying their vows. 

The couple smiled and looked at each other with so much love. The first to make a move was the groom. He took a step closer to his new wife while she continued to smile at him.

When it looked like both their lips was going to touch, the bride turned her head to the side but the groom held her chin, stopping her from looking away...

The bride froze and her eyes bulged out when his lips touched hers. 

The audience also gasped! If things wasn't already taking an unexpected turn, the bride quickly regained her composure and pushed him away from her with force before she slapped him hard across the face.

"You little dirty perverted bastard!" She shrieked angrily.

"Cut! Cut!! Cut!!!" The movie director yelled at the cameraman who looked like he was more interested in watching the scene than controlling his camera. 

"Miss Luo Joreen, please calm down!" The producer walked towards her to plead while she continued to look at the actor she had just slapped. He was still touching his face in disbelief. 

"What do you mean by 'Miss Luo Joreen, please calm down'?" She asked him in a angry tone before taking off her veil and throwing it down on the ground. 

"He just kissed me! He kissed me! You all saw that." She looked like she was about to burst from anger while her hand kept going to clean her lips even when she spoke. 

From the moment she saw who the male lead of the drama was, she knew it was a bad idea acting beside him. But of everything she had expected him to do, she hadn't thought about this!

She felt like crying at that moment. She had dreamed of the moment she was going to get her first kiss and it was never like this. On set with so many eyes. It was even caught on camera!

"Miss Luo. Please let's settle this between us amicably." The actor's manager pleaded. 

"Amicably?" She huffed in disbelief. If there was something she was known for aside from the fact that she was pretty and was a good actress, she had a temper. But she was sure they weren't trying to appease her because of her temper, they were only doing so because of the backing she had. 

While the argument was going on, a man hurried to them, looking more worried than he had ever been in his entire life. 

"What is it?" The producer asked him when he noticed the man's discomfort. 

"Actually..." The man started.

"The CEO of G-GLOBAL was here just now."

His words sounded like a bomb blast. Everyone froze. 

"W.a.s.. here?" The actor's manager was the first to ask. "As in, here?" He asked in disbelief. 

When the man nodded, the only one who actually looked happy to hear the news was Joreen. 

"Really? Where is he?" She asked and began to turn her head to look around but she didn't find him. 

"He left just now."

"Just now? Please tell me he wasn't here when Yu kissed Miss Luo?" One of the producers begged. 

Seeing the look in the man's face, everyone knew what they feared had actually happened. He had seen the kiss! 

"What are you waiting for? Apologize to her immediately!" The actor's manager said harshly. This wasn't the time to save face. Everyone knew Li Hoy treated Joreen like he was her guardian. Because Joreen wasn't 18 yet, her roles were specifically chosen. But since Joreen was turning 18 in a few weeks and this drama wasn't going to start airing until a few months time, she had taken the role. And they had promised there wasn't going to be any form of 'inappropriate' body contact between the leads but the actor broke the rule and kissed her when they were originally supposed to manipulate the kiss scene with the camera.

Joreen noticed the actor still looked like he didn't understand what was going on. Maybe the slap had done much damage than they knew, but they knew by the time the CEO was ready to deal with him for messing with his Ward, he would understand what was happening immediately.
