All eyes were on Hayden’s raised hand including my own. The silence that dominated the room made it feel like ti had stopped. Suddenly, many more hands shot up into the air at the sa ti and it was like ti had resud itself again. Although Hayden had told
that sothing of this effect would take place, I still found myself a little stunned at the almost comical scene in front of .
This whole thing was pretty much rigged for sure from the start. It was like the managers didn’t even put any thought in the partnership and was just blindly following Hayden and his choice.
That being said, not every manager of Torex hand their hands up in the air. It was just like before, not all managers seed to be on Hayden’s side or in favor of him taking over. Although that was the case, I could tell that there were more than enough hands in the air for this proposal to pass.
"Thank you. If there is no one else, then we will proceed forward. May I ask everyone who votes against his proposal to please raise your hand. Also, may I remind you that abstaining from voting is not an option. Everyone must vote," the man announced again.
Fewer hands rose in the air, and it could be quickly concluded that the partnership had passed. I breathe a long sigh of relief before I began smiling a little to myself. This partnership has finally gone through, and it is finally going to happen. Of course, I didn’t know the real business details of the deal, but I was glad enough that it would bring so peace between the two gangs.
I also doubt that Hayden would vote to support it if he thought that it didn’t make sense business-wise regardless of how much he wanted to read that letter that Ethan gave to .
"Thank you for your votes and your patience. Based on the results, the partnership between Torex and Silva in joining hands in the underground auction business will go ahead," the man announced before concluding the eting.
The n seated around the table clapped their hands politely at the announcent while I couldn’t keep myself from smiling. Hayden only turned and smirked at . He was probably satisfied that he got sothing that he wanted along with a business deal with Silva. Ethan looked quite satisfied as well. It seed like everything was coming to a happy ending for everybody.
"Well, that concludes the eting for today. Off to do whatever you need to do!" the boss commanded quite loudly to officially end the eting.
Many mangers started filing out of the room until only the boss, Ethan, Hayden and I remained in the room. Since Hayden did not move from his seat, I stayed seated next to him like before.
"Thank you for supporting this, Hayden," Ethan spoke up.
"You can thank Malissa. Actually, I’ll give her your thanks," Hayden replied passionlessly.
His cold response made Ethan laugh out pretty loudly.
"Congratulations again on your wedding. Are you going to give the ceremony another shot?" Ethan asked teasingly.
The boss who had been observing their exchange and decided to jump in enthusiastically.
"Actually, we plan to host wedding next Saturday. Are you free? You’re welcod to join in," the boss chid in loudly.
My mouth dropped opened in my shock at the sudden turn of events. This was the first ti that I heard anything about us having our wedding next weekend. I turned to glare at Hayden, and he just shrugged at
like he also didn’t have any clue at all.
"I’m happy to attend. Maybe I should be put in charge of security this ti around for…additional safety…" Ethan suggested before glaring at Hayden accusingly.
"Good. I look forward to seeing you," the boss said before laughing loudly.
Just like that, we were having our wedding ceremony and celebration again…for the third ti.
…
Seeing Ethan reminded
that I haven’t gotten around to opening the letter that he gave to
as my wedding present. The deal that I made with Hayden also brought that letter back to the top of my mind again. Honestly, I didn’t expect that letter to contain much more than simple well wishes and blessings from Ethan and maybe sothing that would suit his sardonic humor.
After the eting ended, Hayden took
back to the mansion. The news of our wedding did not excite
at all like it did before. We were already married and so it felt very funny to be having a ceremony and celebration. However, I knew better than to complain about it. Just like Hayden, I was starting to learn to let things slide just so that we didn’t need to deal with the boss.
"For the wedding, we can use the sa things that we chose before, right? We probably just need to find a new organizer…or maybe we can cut out the whole decoration thing…" I mumbled thoughtfully while in the car with Hayden.
"At this point, I can’t wait to get this over and done with. You can decide. The less trouble, the better…" Hayden growled in annoyance.
I felt the sa way. All the excitent was gone now, so the only upside that I could think about was that I would finally get to wear the wedding dress that Hayden had designed and gotten tailored for . After all, it would be such a waste to let such a wonderful dress go unworn.
We arrived at the mansion just in ti for dinner. Although I wasn’t hungry, I knew that Hayden would nag for us to eat on ti so I didn’t hesitate to follow him straight to the dining room where we knew that dinner would be waiting for us.
"Where is the letter?" Hayden asked the mont that we took our seats at the dining table.
Wow, clearly the price of his vote had not escaped his mind at all. The letter was safely stored in my closet.
