Throwing his hand on his mouth, Ben dramatically gasped. He couldn't believe his ears. Did he even hear it right?
"I have to go with Rachael to et her parents—" Andrew gripped Ben's shoulder. "I will put everything in your hand. You have to make all arrangents. Everything should be perfect. Did you understand?"
"Y-Yes boss."
"Ben, if you f*uck this up I swear I'll kill you," he warned him. Of course he wanted everything to be perfect. He was getting married to Rachael—everything had to go smoothly without any kind interruption or problem.
Ben vigorously nodded. He would rather die than make any mistake.
"But boss, what about the board eting?" Amidst the chaos, he completely forgot to remind Andrew about the scheduled board eting.
Pointing towards his face, Andrew snapped, "Look at my face, does it look like I care about that board eting? Just cancel it and clear my schedule for a few days."
"Okay boss."
"Now go and start making arrangents, we don't have ti." He wanted to complete everything as fast as possible. What if things get delayed and Rachael changes her mind?

[Inside]
While Andrew was panicking outside, Rachael was enjoying the pastry and coffee Ben had brought over.
She was too stressed to eat when she left ho but now that she had spilled everything out, she felt very relieved and hungry.
After finishing her share of the snacks, she contemplated whether to eat Andrews' share or not.
"Eh whatever—" She started devouring his snacks. Considering that his physique was so good, Rachael was sure he wasn't into anything sweet and oily.
By the ti Andrew ca back, she had already devoured the second piece as well.
"Do you want so more?" He offered when he saw the empty plates. It was quite early when she ca to see her so he assud she hadn't eaten her breakfast yet.
"Oh no I am good. The pastry was so good, where is it from?" The frosting was so light and fluffy that it just lted in the mouth.
"You like it? We can use the sa flavour for our wedding cake." When she did not say anything, he remarked, "So I assu you have sothing else to say."
She nodded. "Can we keep it low?"
p
"No," she shook her head. "That's not what I ant. We don't have to hide our marriage." Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to do it. And the first reason was her father. Rachael was sure Michael would be the first one to tell everyone he knew about their wedding.
"Then?"
"Can we keep the wedding low? We can just sign the papers and take our friends and family for dinner or sothing." Given Andrew's identity and Michael's over excitent, their wedding would definitely be a big one. She didn't wish to have a big wedding especially since the last ti she tried that, it was a big disaster.
"Okay." Andrew wanted them to sign the papers first and then make arrangents for the big wedding. But since she didn't want one, he was okay with it. He wasn't a big fan of weddings either. As long as he could call her his wife, he was okay with everything.
The fact that he was agreeing with everything she was saying felt good and weird at the sa ti. Was he okay with everything because he wanted her to feel comfortable or he just didn't care?
Just then Ben rushed inside. "Boss, the lawyer said everything will be ready in thirty minutes. He wants you and madam to et him outside the registration office in an hour."
"This is Ben Petrov, my assistant. And—" Looking at Ben, he added, "She is Rachael Watson."
Rachael got up and greeted him. "It's nice to et you."
"Pleasure is all mine, madam." Ben hadn't got a chance to look at Rachael properly but now that he did, he was taken aback. It wasn't hard for him to recognise who she was.
"Did you cross check everything?" Andrew inquired.
"Yes—I'll go now and check it one more ti." He would recheck everything as many tis as he could. There was no room for mistakes. Ben was very sure he would get deported to Russia if anything went wrong. And he had no intention of going back, he had already fallen in love with the new place and atmosphere.
"Do you need anything else?"
"We will need madam's docunts as well and two witnesses, one from your side and the other one from madams."
"That shouldn't be a problem—" Andrew remarked. "You leave first, we will et you there."
Ben left after greeting Rachael once again.
"Should we do it first? I an, register our marriage and then tell my parents? I don't think dad will agree with these arrangents." Michael would never be satisfied or be okay with them just registering their marriage. In fact, Rachael was very sure he would oppose it and they wouldn't be able to register their marriage at all.
