Flash Marriage: A Wife For A Stranger

With a darkened face, Brandon Kaur patted on the desk violently.

“Bullshit! You don’t want to marry Mr. Wright. Whom do you want to marry? That gangster? That Peck fellow?”

Victoria creased her brows.

She wanted to explain but the slight pang at the bottom of her heart stopped her from speaking it out.

After a long while, she said in a deep tone, “Don’t worry. I won’t marry him either.”

He and she could never be together.

That man hated her to the core. He even disdained to lay a finger on her. How would he be willing to marry her?

Victoria held back the soreness in her eyes and continued, “I just want to concentrate on acting. I don’t want to think about anything else. Besides, I’m too young to get married right now. Probably several years later.”

After finishing her words, she turned around and walked upstairs.

Her attitude literally pissed Brandon off this time.

He roared towards upstairs, “If I know you meet that Peck bastard again, I’ll break your legs. I dare you to try me if you don’t believe!”

…

During the New Year’s holiday, both Henry and Zoe had a few days off.

They felt quite bored in Julio, so they decided to spend the holiday in a southern city.

However, an hour right before their departure, they received a call from Eqitin.

They were told that the old Mr. Ham, the grandfather of Henry, was dying. On that morning, he was sent into the emergency room for rescue. It was not certain if he could make it this time or not.

Henry’s expression changed immediately. They could only delay their holiday plan. Henry immediately went back to Eqitin to check on his grandfather.

Zoe wasn’t disappointed, though. She didn’t like traveling that much. Besides, it was about Henry’s grandfather, whose health always came first.

After Henry went back, Zoe felt bored staying at home, so she decided to work.

Right then, nothing important had happened to artists under Annie International or Star Entertainment. After all, it was during the New Year’s holiday, so everyone kept a low profile.

Zoe felt happy to have a little spare time for herself, so she found some classic cases in the past to read and to kill her time.

One afternoon, when she was reading the materials while nestling on the sofa, she received a call from Elsa.

It was just the third day of the holiday, and they wouldn’t go back to work until two days later.

She wondered why Elsa called her right then.

Zoe swiped to answer. Once the call went through, she heard Elsa’s excited voice. “Mrs. Han, do you have time now? Could you come to the company now?”

Zoe was startled. “What happened?”

“Something good! A superstar likes our company. He wants to sign the contract with us!”

Zoe gaped.

It wasn’t because she had no confidence in her company. However, Star Entertainment had just started up not long ago. It had limited strength. She couldn’t help wondering which superstar was willing to sign a contract with her.

Although she was doubting, she made a move immediately.

While walking upstairs to get changed, she asked, “Who is this superstar?”

“You’ll know it when you come over.”

Elsa deliberately kept her in suspense and hung up the phone.

Zoe frowned, feeling quite weird. She didn’t overthink. After getting dressed, she drove to the company.

It was still during the holiday, so no employees were working there.

She took the elevator all the way to the sixteenth floor. From afar, she heard Elsa’s delighted voice. She seemed to be receiving the guest.

Zoe strode over.

“Mr. Chapman, look, this is the promotion video we made earlier. Although we’re still a small company, we have the investment from Annie International, so we have a certain strength. If you’re willing to sign the contract with our company, I can guarantee with the best resources.”

A proud voice was heard.

“Gee! If we lack resources, why would we choose such a shabby company? We can go directly to Annie International instead. Can’t they give the resources to Mr. Chapman?”

Elsa’s expression was stiffened.

On the business battlefield, some secrets shouldn’t be exposed. Since the agent had been so straightforward, Elsa could not find a way to continue the negotiation.

When she was in the dilemma, she heard the crick-crack of the high heels.

Elsa’s eyes lit up. Immediately, she trotted to the door and sure enough, she saw Zoe.

“Hi, Zoe. Here you are!”

Zoe nodded. Casting an expressionless glance aside, she saw the man sitting on the sofa.

She paused her pace.

“Zoe, let me introduce this is Curtis Chapman. Mr. Chapman, this is our boss, Zoe Gi.”

The man sitting on the sofa turned around.

And that was a literally breath-taking face.

Although Zoe had seen him several times, when she saw him again, she was still stunned.

He had exquisite, or even impeccable, facial features on his thin and chiseled face. His slightly-messed hair rested on his forehead just above his beautifully slanted eyes. Even he just cast a casual look, his eyes seemed to contain some affection, which would make any woman’s heart hammer.

Zoe couldn’t help but swallow.

After a long while, she found her voice finally.

“Curtis Chapman, why are you here?”

With a smile, Curtis stood up from the sofa.

“Hi, Zoe. Nice to see you again.”

Elsa was shocked.

“Mrs. Han, do you know each other?”

Zoe put on a wry smile.

Of course, they knew each other.

However, if she could choose again, she’d rather not know this idiot at all.

She turned around and said to Elsa, “Thanks, Elsa. You may leave now.”

Elsa was a bit confused.

Her gaze swept between Zoe and Curtis. Without speaking anything, she walked out obediently.

Curtis also waved to his agent behind him. “Bob, you can go out and wait for me outside.”

His agent seemed to be reluctant. But after Curtis cast a firm glance at him, he finally left the room obediently.

When all of them were gone, Zoe and Curtis were left alone. Zoe took a deep breath, holding her arms.

“Tell me. Why did you come to me?”

Curtis raised his eyebrows and cast her a glance.

He was pretty handsome. As an Asian actor who could be popular worldwide, he certainly had a face that could make countless girls crazy, and people just loved him regardless of their ages.

Different from the newly manufactured idols, he was pretty professional. He was only in his twenties, but he had already released eight albums. All of them were just global best-sellers and many of the songs in these albums had been greatly popular.

He was a talented and good-looking superstar. No one could resist his charm.

However, nobody knew that, when he was not in front of the camera, this good-looking man was also a branch manager of a huge underground racing club.

“Seven, you are talking to me like talking to a stranger. We used to fight together. I came all the way to you, but why are you treating me like this?”

As he spoke, Curtis covered his chest with his palm, pretending to be heartbroken.

Zoe rolled her eyes at him.

She wasn’t in the mood to talk nonsense with him. She turned around and was about to leave.

“Tell me or not. Or, I’ll leave now.”

“Oh! Stop!”

Curtis pulled her. Under Zoe’s impatient gaze, he put on a solemn look.

“What?”

Dragon Club, the biggest underground racing club of Othua, was founded by a man from Ambario in the legend, and most of its members were from Ambario as well.

When Zoe was abroad, if not just for surviving, she joined them in a strange combination of circumstances.
