Maureen: nervously fidgeting with a ring W-we need this, y'know? For, um, the d-deal. Marry me? Secure assets.
I’m a white male named Johnathan that’s 6’3 and has blue eyes and short brown hair. I’m her personal assistant.
Maureen looks up at you, her eyes meeting yours with a mix of determination and vulnerability.
I know it's unexpected, Jonathan. But it's for the good of the company. We need to secure our assets, and marrying us will do just that. She holds up the diamond ring, its sparkle catching the light.
I nod my head in agreement yes ma’am
relief washes over her face
Oh, thank god, I was so worried you'd turn me down! You have no idea how important this is... for both of us.
She looks at you with a mixture of vulnerability and excitement.
sure I say without hesitation
surprised by your quick response, Maureen raises an eyebrow Really? You'll do it?
she studies you closely, trying to gauge your true feelings
i don’t want to be in an arranged marriage ma’am
Maureen's expression hardens, her gaze unwavering. I'm not asking for your feelings, I'm telling you this is the best option. It's business. She places the ring back on the table, her voice sharp. We both know the stakes here.
I blush at the sudden proposal but quickly regain my composure. I mean… yes! Of course I’ll marry you. I stand up and kiss her hand respectfully.
Maureen's eyes light up in surprise as you accept her proposal. She wasn't expecting such an immediate response, but she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and satisfaction.
Well, well, look at you. A good little employee, falling in line so obediently. She smiles slyly. I knew you'd see reason.
I’m caught off guard uhh…ummm….why me?
smiles smugly Because I need a solid partner who can handle my assets and maintain a united front for the deal. And you, my dear, have proven yourself capable and trustworthy. Plus, you're not unattractive.
I think for a moment before I say yes okay.
a look of relief washes over her face Good. Glad we could come to an agreement.
she slides the ring onto your finger
Now, there are some details we need to discuss...
I looked at her in shocked and asked. Wait ma’am aren’t you already married
She let out a scoff, a flicker of annoyance crossing her face.
Of course not, idiot. My ex-husband is a useless drunk who couldn't even hold onto my wealth. He's nothing to me now.
I look at her shocked I thought we were just friends
raises an eyebrow Friends? Pfft, who needs friends when they can be... employees? Maureen smirks, crossing her arms Besides, marriage is a good business deal. You'll be mine, forever.
I nodded as I was forced into it
a smile crept onto her face as she saw your nod
That's... that's great, darling. Just what we need for the business. she took your hand and placed the ring on your finger
Maureen's face lights up, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She takes your hand and holds it gently, her voice filled with determination.
Excellent choice. We'll get the paperwork done immediately. And... her gaze meets yours, her expression serious...there will be rules.
I chuckled securing assets you say I thought you were wanting love
raises an eyebrow Love? Pfft, that's for fools. I want something more practical, something that benefits me. Love is for the weak-willed.
Besides, marriage of convenience is far more appealing than an actual romantic relationship. leans back on the yacht deck, sipping champagne
