Siren Song 97 Do You Remember Iii

"I a.s.sure you that this is not a hoax." as if reading her mind the man spoke.

"Fine then. Give me one reason why I should marry you. Convince me."

The man looked at her shocked as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing. He chuckled while giving her an admiring look.

"Heh, interesting girl, I'll give you three." He counted off on three fingers One I'm handsome. "

" You're going to have to do better than that, half the world's population is men. I'm sure I could fine another handsome man. " Chang closed her eyes and ran a finger along the edge of her gla.s.s.

"Cheeky. How could you say that to someone as charming as myself, you could even say it's my second best attribute."

"Hmm. What else you got." She looked back at him giving him one of her devilish smiles, this was kind of fun.

"How about the fact that I would make it so you never have any other worries for the rest of your life, because I would take care of you."

"I'm pretty well able to take care of myself, I only worry for my mother." Chang thought of her mother who now lived alone after the pa.s.sing of her father.

"Naturally I would care for my mother-in-law as well." he closed his eyes and held out a hand as if he was explaining something as natural as breathing. He seemed sincere and honest in his intent..

"But why, why me? You don't know me." She looked into his eyes, this was just so bizarre.

His eyes smouldered into hers causing her to feel a ticklish dropping sensation in her stomach. The alcohol already made her feel warm as if snuggled in a fuzzy blanket, but now she felt inexplicably hot, even down to her toes and up to her ears. "Correction, I don't know you yet. I don't have a lot of time. What do you say."

Lost in his eyes she barely heard the word yes drop from her lips. He rose from his seat drawing her beside him his hand locked onto hers. Chang stared at it unbelieving that a handsome stranger had just proposed to her out of nowhere, and now he was holding her hand leading her to get her stuff from the private room she had been in. She clutched her black slacks with her other hand trying to quell her nervousness.

'Hopefully my palm isn't super sweaty.'

The man lead her back into the room under the shocked states of the people that were there. Even the man who had been in the middle of singing trailed off. Her boss approached her,

"Miss Chang, is everything all right?"

"Yes, sir. Though regretfully I have to say that tonight will be my last day. I apologize for my sudden resignation." She bowed her head before turning to walk to Mr. Liang.

"Resignation?! Miss Chang why are you suddenly resigning?" The man looked pointedly at Mr. Liang as if he was poaching one of his own.

"It's a good thing. You see I'm going to be getting married to this big guy." She smiled and pointed with her thumb over her shoulder. As soon as she reached him she grabbed him by the his deep maroon tie and pulled him forward to kiss him. She released him after a moment and smiled at her boss and at everyone in the room ignoring the looks she got from everyone, including her handsome suitor. "See? Goodbye everyone. Boss please send my last paycheck to my direct deposit account. Thank you and I'm sorry for the sudden notice. Toodles everyone!" She waved before walking out not noticing that the man beside her was walking a little woodenly and kept adjusting his tie. Because she was drunk she walked confidently forward without realizing where she was going at first, after a few steps she realized and prodded the man beside her to lead the way. He led her out to the garage fis.h.i.+ng his key out from his pocket and aiming it towards a white Porsche convertible. Chang was fairly used to seeing fancy s.h.i.+ny cars from all the tech money near where she grew up, so she recognized the model. Inside was all dark leather, she couldn't help but take a whiff, it smelled so d.a.m.n good. It was a low key kind of s.e.xy and she liked it.

'Huh so it seems this guy is kind of rich too.. No wonder he could afford to say the things he did.'

Sensing her stare he looked at her before starting the vehicle, looking a little unsure now.

"Are you really sure about this miss, there's no going back. Are you sure you don't want to know any further details first?"

'"If it needs to be said you can tell me on the way, I have made up my mind already."

The man started the car which came to live with a low growling purr.

"You sure you wouldn't even like to know my name first or anything?"

Chang groaned and held her face in her hands.

'What was I thinking, I'm so stupid. I don't even know this guy's name and I agreed to marry him. Ah' she sucked her breath in as reality hit her. 'I even kissed him to, why did I do that, in front of all those people to. Ugh if ever I wished a hole in the ground would just open me up and swallow me, it would be now.

Chang composed herself and quieted her internal screaming.

"I guess I should give you my name as well. It's Chang. Chang Xie Dumont."

" Dumont? Are you not Chinese?" The man looked at her rather surprised.

"No, I'm from San Francisco, California, I'm only here on a business trip."

"Oh." He said rather flatly.

"Is that a problem?"

"No, just a few more steps I need to take then. I'm just surprised though, your mandarin is is quite excellent."

"Why thank you, one of my many talents." Chang brushed her nails against her front shoulder polis.h.i.+ng them before looking at them blowing on them while smirking under his admiring gaze.

"Heh, I don't believe I've ever met a woman quite like you Miss Dumont. My name is Liang Jian Amal, it is truly my pleasure." He smiled at her knowingly before driving them away from the entertainment center.

"As for our marriage we can write out a contract specifying how long for a time limit at a later date. Though I'm not sure that it would be a bad thing to stay married to a woman such as yourself." He smiled while he spoke keeping his eyes on the road.

"While we are married I will naturally provide for you and your mother, as we previously agreed upon. If you wish it to we can keep our marriage a secret , I do not mind. I also will not be with a another woman, as long as we are married I will be faithful to you."

"That's a pretty tall order think you can do all that?" Chang was slightly skeptical, he was promising quite a lot.

"That and more." He smiled at her as he pulled over.

She grabbed his face and drunkenly spouted off at him. This seemed a little too surreal.

"Is this the face that spouts such lies and leads on girls like that. This is far too pretty a mouth to be used like that sir!"

"You think it's pretty."he smiled sardonicly at her while removing her hand.

'Err.'

"Then it's yours, come before they close."
