'What is she doing here? And how can I forget to manage her? God please save me!! Boss will be dead angry if this woman continues with her nonsense.' Joel, who was standing on the sidelines, prayed silently for his boss.
"Who is she?"
"Isn't she Miss Jia? The only daughter of the Wilson family?"
"What is she doing here?"
"Don't you know the rumours about them?"
"I thought they were rumours though."
"So was that true?"
The crowd started gossiping about the newcomer lady, who turned out to be a complicated awkward figure after Markus's just revealed relationship.
Jia, the centre of the topic, ignored all others and walked straight towards Markus in her high heels, creating a clicking sound when she passed. She paused in her tracks while crossing Kizy.
"Stay away from him." She said loudly before standing in front of Markus.
'As if I want to stay with him! Ask him, who came up with this marriage thing? It was HE who forced me into marrying! If you want, please take him away. I'll be more than happy to present this devil to you and go away as soon as possible.' Kizy thought to herself.
"So you said you'll be marrying Miss Kizy?" Jia asked Markus.
"You seriously want to meddle in my affairs?" Markus asked.
"Our affair you mean?" Jia retorted.
"You already know that there's nothing between us. Given our family relations, I can still forgive you if you leave now." Markus said.
"Nothing? I have been rejecting all those marriage proposals from eminent families for your sake, yet you say it's nothing?" Jia said in an emotional tone.
"Have I ever asked you to reject them?" Markus questioned.
"Listen everyone!! This person here was supposed to get engaged with me. But now he is announcing his relationship with some other woman, even saying he will be marrying her. Isn't that unfair to me. I request all of you to stand for justice." Jia said loudly.
"Jia don't lie, not in front of the media." Markus said in a warning tone.
"I am not lying. Weren't we supposed to get engaged?" Jia asked
"Did I ever agree to it? I have been rejecting the engagement since the beginning. Now do you still want to continue lying?" Markus asked.
"But you know what I feel about you. Yet you say that you love this cheap woman." Jia said angrily.
Markus had made up his mind to forgive Jia for their family bond, but by calling Kizy cheap publicly, she had crossed his bottom line. He could address Kizy by any name, but no other person was allowed to do that.
"Fine. Don't blame me for this." Markus said slowly and took out his mobile phone before making a call and placing the mobile on the loudspeaker.
"Hello Markus? How can I help you?" An elderly voice was heard from the other side.
"Mr. Wilson, will you do me a favour?" Markus asked.
By this time Jia was already shocked, trying to snatch away Markus's phone from his hands, which as expected was useless. She immediately knelt before him, shaking her head, signalling him to not speak anymore.
"Yes, of course. Who would not want to work for you and would stupidly reject you?" Mr. Wilson replied.
"Your daughter is about to ruin my relationship as well as my mood. Do you want me to teach her some lessons or will you educate her on your own?" Markus asked.
"Markus, please forgive me for not teaching her properly. But will you please let it pass this one time? I promise this won't be repeated again." Mr. Wilson's voice was seen trembling by now.
"No dad he-" Jia tried to speak but...
"As you wish Mr. Wilson. Please make sure to teach her some basic manners." Markus said before hanging up.
"You should go back home Miss Jia. I think your dad must be worrying and waiting for you." Markus spoke to Jia, who had already turned into a deathly shade of white.
She knew it was wrong to publicly speak about their affair when Markus had never accepted her feelings.
She was patient all this while because the only female Markus had interacted ever was her.
But now suddenly he came up with a girlfriend with whom he would be marrying soon. So how could she take it?
Thus in a moment of heat, she had sprouted all the nonsense and dug her own grave.
"Markus I am sorry, but please tell my dad that nothing like this happened. I promise I will never repeat this. But please don't send me back." Jia said in a pleading voice.
"Will you go on your own or should I..? Markus spoke.
"Markus I-" Jia was still talking but Joel had already ordered the men to take her away.
Jia kept shouting even when she had been dragged out of the hall.
"Sorry for this chaos. But Kizy is the only woman that I love, and want to marry. I have never accepted Jia's feelings and I have countless evidence for them. So please don't make any groundless assumptions and make my wife unhappy." Markus immediately spoke which was followed by a round of applause and howling from the audience.
Later on there was a question answer session about the couple, though none of them dared to ask anything related to their private lives.
Soon all of them were happy and content after knowing such big news about Markus, forgetting about the entire Jia incident.
After almost an hour long interview, the reporters and public finally let Markus leave.
Markus stood up and encircled Kizy's waist with his arm in a protective manner before moving through the crowd, earning another round of cheering from everyone.
"Gosh I am about to faint."
"They look so good together!"
"Never knew Markus would have such a cute protective side to him."
"Stop this PDA!!"
"Aww.. my single heart"
This way all the initial negative comments turned into supportive ones within this span of one and half hour interview.
"So how was my performance Wifey?" Markus asked as soon as they entered the car.
