THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 31 – 40

CHAPTER 35
Meanwhile, at Velvet entertainment, the CEO’s office nodoor burst open and a man hurried in with an ipad.
“How many times will I tell you to not barge into my office?” The virgin– obsessed Young master Wu barked at his Assistant. He was angry at him for failing a simple task twice.
“I’m sorry, boss. I came to inform you that I’ve gotten a talented–”
“How many times have you said those words? Your so-called talented singers turned out to be trash. You know what, thinking back to the times you were competent, I won’t fire you, however, I want to see your resignation letter on my desk by Monday morning!”
The Assistant panicked and quickly said: “please Young Master, give me this one last chance. I promise you’ll be content with this newbie…”
“Newbie!!! Have you gone mad?! What does newbies know? How can a newbie help Christine get to the top of the industry?? Mark…” he paused to catch his breath. “Do you know what Emilee wants for her sister? The best singer… BEST!!!” He screamed.
“Young Master, i–”
“Are you still talking?” He glared maliciously at his Assistant. Seeing he has kept quiet, The CEO resumed his speech. “I’m going to give you this last chance. Go and find me a retired superstar. If you can talk to Celestine, that would be better.”
“Ce–Celestine?!” The Assistant widened his eyes in horror. Is this man wanting his quick death? His boss is asking him to go talk to Celestine– one of the lengends of the music industry to be a voice artist for a talentless young lady who is still wet behind her ears?! It seems this Young Master is the insane one here. To think he could do absurd things just to steal a blooming flower from it’s garden (disvirgin a lady). ‘I won’t be a part of this crazy man’s world’ he thought.
“Are you still standing there?” The CEO frowned deeply.
“Boss, I’ll do as you’ve said but you should listen to this first. I promise to tender my resignation letter if you don’t find it to your liking.” The Assistant immediately clicked on the play button before his boss could speak.
The Assistant made such a promise because he had already made up his mind to quit when his boss made such an abominable desire vocal. Begging to hear three songs from the almighty Celestine for a year is already an almost unattainable fantasy and here, this virgin–obsessed man is asking for her to be a voice artist, which means, every single song Christine will sing in the future would be sung by Celestine and the voice has to have similarity to the voice Christine’s Voice artist was using in Rose City.
Not only is it tedious, it’s an insult of the highest order!
The CEO who was about to cuss his Assistant froze when he heard the melodic voice. The singer wasn’t just singing but was rather pulling souls artistically. He was mesmerized. He could feel himself sailing in the ocean of the singer’s voice and couldn’t help looking dazed.
A minute into the song, the voice changed. It was the same singer with two voice. She was controling the voice and her breath so well that the CEO started to clap. He was imagining himself in her concert.
Two minutes into the new voice, the artist changed to a third voice and finished the four minutes song with a cute voice at the end of the fourth minute.
The CEO froze when the song ended. Was that all? That was too little! Not until he checked the minutes did he realize it was the standard minutes to end a music. He bolted to his feet and screamed in excitement. “How talented is this newbie?!”
He wasn’t asking anyone in particular. He was just flabbergasted at the singer. However, the Assistant felt the need to answer because he was also excited that his boss was genuinely happy now.
“She is very talented. She is the first newbie to reach millions of streaming and likes in less 24 hours. The committee are already having a discussion about her and Fearless entertainment has made their interest in her known.”
“No! That must not happen. Do anything you must to get her under our wings. She’ll be a great asset.”
The Assistant was happy. However, when he remembered, he asked: “What about Christine?”
The CEO paused for some time before he answered: “Find the newbie before others do. Inform her that she’ll be a voice artist under my agency for a year and after that, whatever she asks, including shares in the company, the company is ready to give her.”
The Assistant couldn’t help but marvel at his boss’ level of stupidity. He had thought numerous times that what would kill this young man would be his love for blooming flowers. It seems it’s already in sight.
Despite not liking what he was hearing, the Assistant accepted his mission and went hunting for the newbie singer who left no information about herself in her profile.
…
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 31 – 40
The Assistant didn’t think that getting hold of a newbie would be this hard. It’s been a week, yet he still couldn’t contact her. A funny thought suddenly popped up on his mind. ‘What if she was a veteran wanting to play a little?’
He shook his head while on his computer, trying to crack the IP address of the newbie for the umpteenth time but failed misrably.
They’ve used their IT staff and even the popular hackers from the country but they couldn’t do more than he had done.
Dejectedly, he went to report another failure to his boss.
The CEO hurled a porcelain cup that was on the desk, to the wall. He was very angry and needed to vent.
“What the hell is that newbie?!”
Christine had made her strong interest in the newbie known. She had promised to allow him to take her virginity if he could get the newbie to be her voice artist.
The Young Master had promised to solve it in a week but here he was. Today marks the deadline he promised Christine, yet he’d got nothing to show.
“Make a post in the platform will that the Wu family and Velvet entertainment would fight whoever takes my artist. The newbie artist who goes by the name, ‘V.J cute’ belongs to my company.”
The Assistant’s jaw dropped.. why was his boss suddenly making irrational decisions all of a sudden? What is Christine’s womanhood made of? Was extra honey added to it that is driving this man insane?
Even though the Assistant was displeased, he still went ahead to carry out his duty.

*At the Organization…*
Few days had passed and yet, Maverick was still not allowed to leave. He stopped attending their meetings after that first time. Holed up in his room with a laptop in front of him, the man tried to carry out his mission in the most complicated and bizarre way.
Today was his seventh day of staying indoors and decided to go out of his room. Who would have thought that he would barge into the man he had been looking for?
Standing in front of Maverick was none other than Damien. Behind him was Kimberly who had her head down.
“Woooo, look who we found!” Damien smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes.
Maverick didn’t respond but rather, glanced passively at Kimberly. She was wearing an expensive-looking black gown with beautiful accessories, while Damien was also wearing a black suit with a white undershirt.
“I thought you won’t ever come out of that room you’re hiding. I was thinking of coming to collect what you owe me after I’m back from the party.”
Still, Maverick ignored him and tried to walk away but Damien blocked his path. “Maverick, don’t act all cocky with me here, this is not our turf, but I can have you and your men wasted here.” He smiled through gritted teeth.
Maverick raised the corner of his lips but still didn’t open his mouth before he pushed Damien out of his way and walked past.
“Alpha Chaos, coming here was your mistake.” He murmured under his breath. Unbeknownst to him, Kimberly silently gasped when she heard that name.
Alpha Chaos! He was the person his mother told her and her sisters to go seek protection from before they were abducted the moment they stepped into the Country. Her eyes followed him as he walked further away while biting her lips. She wanted to run after him before she felt a cold stare on her naked back.
“Is he more handsome than I am?”
Kimberly quickly turned but remained silent.
Damien took a few steps towards her and wrapped his arm around her waist, then yanked her to his chest. “You are not permitted to fancy another man except me. Whoever you look at twice will be killed. Understand?”
Kimberly flinched when he yanked her. With heart racing against her chest, she stubbornly stared into his menacing eyes. Those eyes and everything about this man makes her skin crawl but she would never make the mistake of letting him know that.
She gently pushed against his chest, prompting him to let her go. Then she took two steps back and turned her face away.
A totally defiant one!
Damien found himself genuinely smiling at her behavior. These days, he had been smiling more than ever and it was always a genuine smile with her. He doesn’t understand what was going on with him but one thing he knows is that Kimberly is his and no one is allowed to covet or come close to her.
Damien didn’t know the meaning or characteristics of love and obsession, reason he had no idea he had fallen in love at first sight.
“Master, I would like to return if we aren’t going anymore.” She forced the fear she had for this man to the back of her mind and spat out the words rudely like she was angry at him.
Damien closed the space between them and wrapped his hands around her waist again. “Damien… call me Damien.” He was as shocked as Kimberly when he heard himself saying that. He frowned deeply. What is wrong with him? Why is he always a different person in front of this rude girl? Logically, he was supposed to grab her neck and squeeze the life out of her when she said that but why was he feeling content Instead? He hates it when she’s silent but happy when she speaks, even though she’s always rude to him. What the f*ck is going on?!
Although Damien was thinking all of that in his mind, however, his outward appearance was gentle with a small frown on his face. Kimberly tried to pull away, thinking her stubbornness had finally pushed her to dig her own grave, but was surprised when his face suddenly changed to a smiling face and leaned in.
She pushed her head back in reflex. He’s so creepy when he does that and it sends a chill down her spine!
Damien rested his hand behind her head and gently pushed it forward, making their nose touch. “Don’t ever shy away from me, Kimberly. I don’t like that.”
Kimberly held his eyes with unconcealed surprise when she heard a totally different tone of voice from what he had always used.
It’s either Damien was using a commanding tone or a mischievous tone. However, just now, his voice sounded… pitiful?!! Impossible!!
Kimberly refused to believe it. She thought it was her ears playing tricks on her. How can Damien, master of evil, a man who has no heart and would stop at nothing to achieve his aim sound so romantic and cute?? No, no, no, that can’t be right. Damien can never be associated with the words ‘cute’ and ‘romantic’ he is far from those!
A thought immediately hit Kimberly at that moment and she looked at him with a glare. All these behavior and reactions weren’t intentional. She’s the type that can’t hide her disgust for a person she hates, which is why she reacts this rudely towards this villain.
Thinking that Damien had come up with a twisted plot that needed him to be acting this way with her, her hatred and disgust towards him suddenly climbed to another level. She was an inch away from shouting it to his face and telling him how much she wish him a miserable ending.
Her family, Love and respect are what Kimberly holds dear. Nothing in this world would make her get in between two lovers and nothing would make her disrespect a person who deserves respect, even though that person is evil, she would always give them the benefit of the doubt. However, if she could hate Damien this much, then he certainly doesn’t have any good qualities left in him.
