”GOOD !”
Though he tried to not make it obvious, Sapphire knew that her cousin Reeve was surprised when she appeared on his office’s doorstep
”Sapphire? What are you doing here?”
She gave him a smile ”May I come in?”
He nodded and then widened the opening of the door
”Sorry for disturbing you Your secretary was not outside so I went directly here and knocked on your office's door,”She explained as she directly entered and inspected the place She sat on the available chair which is in front of his table
”It's fine After all, you're my cousin But I'm quite surprised that you're here today May I knohy?” he directly asked even though her bottom has yet to heat up on her seat
He sat down and stared at her Reeve is powerful He is the one holding the two biggest hotels in the whole country He's so high andon his place But never had he intimidated her No man can intimidate her

”Co offered by aBesides, if you want so, you'll ask for it”
She raised her brow up Despite not being close to each other, he still knew her well ”How did you know?”
He shrugged ”Observations”
She rolled her eyeballs ”Yeah, right I'm sure mom was the one who told you about htened her posture”Anyway, you're right You don't have to offerI need your help,” she frankly said
His forehead creased ”What kind of help?”
”You knohat's there in Lola Marcelina's last will, right? I won't be able to takeas I'm unmarried”
He slowly nodded ”What about it?”
”I have a deadline, Reeve I should get ht And ht next month!”
”Get married, then,” he simply said
That response ood for hio through anything to get his part ”It's easy to get married if I have someone to wed myself But, there's no such person for me And the reason I am here is to seek help from you”
The man's forehead wrinkled
”Find me a husband!” she demanded
That hen the latter's shock surfaced ”Coain?”
She hurriedly started explaining the content of her conversation with her female cousins The more he listens to her explanation, the deeper he frowned
”That's a ridiculous plan, Sapphire,” his only co
”I don't care anymore, even if that's the weirdest plan ever! I badly need a grooree to my offer And I am very sure you can refer some people to me, anyhow Come on, Reeve! I'et my part I have plans for it”
Her cousin started shaking his head ”It was like you're fooling Grandma if you do that”
Sapphire closed her eyes ”I know! But she leftin love within a month I hate men! So there's no chance that I could love them a bit!” The only exemptions were hio, and the fathers of their feht I know you have many acquaintances How about your wife's cousins? Or your colleagues?”
Reeve h ”You will only et your inheritance After a year, you'll separate to the guy Marriage is sacred, Sapphire It's not so simple”
She pouted, ”Marriage for convenience is a trend nowadays Even you, you get er and to have the CEO and Presidential seat You are now the Chairman of the Board as well How did that differ froot married That's also what I plan to do,” she reasoned out
”The difference between us is large I ot an annulment From the start, I don't plan to separate froetof separation”
”Why would I retain the ot my money? Besides, my future spouse won't lose out in the deal since he will have soo our separate ways, ill be both happy”
”Lola Marcelina wants you to have you own family that's why she came up with that condition in her will Her deed will lose sense if you do your plan”
Sapphire stared at hi to prick her conscience Unfortunately, Lavender and Crystal Jane had already attempted that so it won't work on her
She stood up and rolled her eyes at him ”If you can't help me, just say so” She turned around and raised her head as she marched onward the door
”Sapphire, come back here!” he co”
She was now sto her feet in annoyance as she stared back ”I would only be wasting my time if I would convince you over and over about this h it's obvious you don't want to help room-to-be It's better for me to search by myself”
He could only exhale ”I'll help you, okay?” he said in surrender
Sapphire's face brightened up and then she ran near him ”Really?”
He sighed ”As if I could leave you alone I also won't find peace of mind if you find some no-name people”
She smiled What her female cousins said was true, their h he is always serious and strict, he is kind He even became kinder when he became married
”Yey! When are you findinghope rising in her chest She can now iine her future bookstore
”Co our female cousins with you There's a little Sunday lunch party tomorrow We can take that opportunity to continue this talk”
She was nodding profusely and proo there tomorrow

Most of the times, when there are many boys around, Sapphire would feel suffocated But it's different this ti intuition that Reeve made her come here to purposely introduce his wife'sher, he's even giving her choices!
All of the people were sitting on a very long table in the garden Good thing, it was not hot and sunny Everyone was chatting about anything while waiting for the food to be served
Sapphire grew bored It's because she found it difficult to hold proper conversation with her cousins Haley busied herself with her own cellphone Lavender was reading a book Crystal Jane was flipping pages on her Bible She could only jab at Reeve
”Why are Agatha's cousins noisy?” she softly cootany to talk about my plan?”
Before her cousin could even reply, somebody stole their attention
”Yo! Family, what's up?”
Everyone became silent as they turned their heads to the newcomer
The guy has a friendly and jolly aura His smile was so wide his slanted eyes were almost as if closed She had seen hiatha's half-brother
”Hey, it's good that you can coatha's cousins who happened to be the leading gossiper a them ”You finally came out of your lair”
