165 Stay Married

Riley Adams looked like a flustered hen who could not lay her eggs. Today, he arrived in the office even before the sun started peeking from the mountains.

His task was to ensure that the press conference would go smoothly. After all, it is the first time for the CEO to introduce his wife to the public eye.

After securing media passes for selected broadcasting stations, he gathered the 5 of the 10 men who were tasked to ensure the security of the couple. The other five are with his boss. Only they knew where the couple is currently staying.

Indeed, even the chairman and vice chairman, the CEO's parents, have any clue about this press conference.

Riley wondered if he will still have a job after this. No, he should wonder if he could survive this day.

Masaichi Xiu looked at his wife. She had fastened extensions to style her hair in soft curls swept to the side. Her earring dangles along her slender fair neck when she moves. She wore a light blue chiffon sleeveless blouse tucked in a cerulean pencil skirt, which ended at her knees. Then she put on a chestnut blazer which complenented her 3-inch mary janes. She also wore three thin bangles on her right wrist, while she had her leather rectangular-faced watch on the left.

Masaichi frowned when he noticed that she was not wearing her rings.

He walked towards her. "Did you lose them?"

"Wha-what?" Taken aback by his sudden question and presence, she stabilized herself as she stepped back a little.

"Your rings." Masaichi frowned. "Where are they?"

"Uhm...during the incident..." she bit her lip. She could not continue to reveal that the rings were divided among the perpetrators.

He sighed. "They cut mine when I had to undergo surgery. It's no good anymore."

"Oh..." she smiled weakly. "Do we need new ones?"

"Of course."

Agatha gasped as her husband suddenly knelt before her.

"Agatha Yang, will you stay married to me?" He suddenly had an open blue ring box with three rings.

"Yes!" She had tears in her eyes as she nodded like a rattle.

He took the blue marquise-cut sapphire with diamond halo in a half-eternity white gold band and put it on her right ring finger. Then he stood up and took the remaining rings while placing the box on a nearby table.

Masaichi took her left hand to place the larger wedding band on her palm. Then he took her right hand again. "With this ring, I promise my love and loyalty." He put the eternity ring, which had alternating round cut diamonds and sapphires, over the engagement ring he had made her wear earlier.

Agatha's tears kept flowing from her cheeks.

Sobbing, she took his right hand. "With this ring, I promise to always be by your side, not whenever you want me, but whenever you need me." She put the platinum band with a small round sapphire embedded in between the metals on his right ring finger.

With that, he suddenly grabbed her cheeks and kissed her passionately.

When she was gasping for air, he finally let go of her lips.

"All right. We're ready." He smiled.

She pouted. "I had to wash my face and do ny makeup again!"

He chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?! It's all your fault!" She stormed into the bathroom.

Masaichi knocked gently on the shut bathroom door. "Just wash your face. You can put on your makeup in the car. We need to leave or we will be late. You don't want tardiness noted on their first impression of you, do you?"

The door was suddenly opened.

"What made you think it's easy to do it inside a car?!" She said it, but she was already clutching her makeup purse as she strode out of the bedroom.

Masaichi followed her shortly. "Still, you can do it."

She glared at him before riding the car.
