"Congratulations! Here's your marriage certificates. I hope the both of you would have a great and happy married life." The officer meaningfully said.
"Thank you." Nathan uttered.
"You got yourself a very beautiful wife. No wonder you have arranged to be married with her instantly. Wait, so are you going to make her your official Missus Bai?" The officer whispered out of curiosity on Nathan's ears.
A month ago, Nathan made a visit to his office telling him that he might get a marriage certificate with a random woman if the need arises. However, he had to make the wedding fake.
Yesterday, Nathan secretly made a visit to his office once again and told him that he'll be bringing a woman tomorrow, which was today, to get their marriage certificate...for real.
"She's the only person I wanted to see first when I wake up in every mornings of my life." Nathan faithfully said.
"How sweet." The officer teased him.
"Well, be sure you'd keep that in your mind as I'm sure, a lot of men would be praying to have her."
"Ha! They better try their luck. I had come a long way just to make her mine. And what's mine is mine!" Nathan then gestured him to leave.
The officer could only helplessly shook his head in the process.
He could not help but wonder why a person was just so lucky with everything.
Kim Eunji on the other hand did not mind the two men as she warmly smiled while she was looking at the red booklet in her hand.
Thanks to Nathan's arrangement, everything went smoothly.
Now that she's married, everything felt surreal.
"Hey, are you okay?" Nathan asked as he looked at Kim Eunji who had been silent since they had taken their photos together.
"Ye-ah..."
"Are you sure?" Nathan asked Kim Eunji.
"Yes...it's just that everything felt surreal."
Kim Eunji thought that getting the marriage certificate would be a taxing task to do. She also did not expect that she would be overwhelmed.
Like she was feeling a lot of emotions at the moment. She's very happy on the other hand, she's sad and at the same time worried.
But one thing was for sure, she did not regret marrying him.
She was only sad because her parents were not present to celebrate it with them.
Also, Nathan and Kim Eunji had a mutual agreement to keep their marriage a secret temporarily.
Nathan could announce that he's married if he wanted to but would not disclose whom he married. Of course, unless it's necessary.
Kim Eunji on the other hand asked Nathan to keep their marriage a secret especially now that she'll be attending the university.
Nathan understood that because Kim Eunji would never have a peaceful day in her life when they revealed that she's married to him.
He was after all very famous. Especially with women and young girls. Nathan was like the celebrity in the business world especially now that his identity was revealed.
Imagine the harassment Kim Eunji might experience the moment everyone knew of their relationship. What more when they found out the real status of their relationship?
"Good. So where do you want to go after this Missus Bai?" Kim Eunji's heart skip a beat when she heard that.
Nathan had been calling her that endearment before but now, that two words hit her differently compared in the past.
She's now legally and officially married to him and she felt like finally, she now had the legal rights and claim to that name.
"Wait, aren't you going to work?" Kim Eunji asked in a surprised tone.
Nathan chuckled when he heard that.
In order to accommodate them getting married, he had to clear his entire schedule for the day. And they had come an hour before the office hours had officially began just to avoid other unnecessary interruptions.
Also, they had come to the marriage registration office alone. This is to limit the chances of being caught.
Kim Eunji was wearing a white chiffon top with a scarf of the same color wrapped around her neck to hide Nathan's masterpieces. She paired it with an above the knee skirt and white flat shoes.
On the other hand, Nathan was wearing his casual black suit over his white polo which was neatly tucked in under his black pants.
Both were wearing their face mask and baseball cap for Nathan and a bucket hat for Kim Eunji.
"Isn't it rude for the new wife if her husband ditched her on their first married day?" Nathan meaningfully asked her.
"It is...but I'm not that kind of wife...You don't have to leave your work just to be with me. What would your employees say when they found out that their CEO was slacking?"
"My employees are competent enough to work even without their boss. Also, they're understanding. And besides, I think they're happy that I'm not in the company right now." Nathan said as they started to walk.
What Nathan meant was that his employees were comfortable when he's not around. How did he know about that? In their body language.
"Okay. I might want to do some groceries and buy some school stuffs that I'll be needing."
"Okay. Let's do that. But first, let's change into something less formal before going to those places okay?" Nathan suggested.
Walking hand in hand, Nathan and Kim Eunji walked towards the exit of the building to avoid the other employees from seeing them.
The two then immediately entered their car and drove back home to change their clothes.
"Welcome back Master...Mistress." Aunt Lucy greeted as they welcomed them.
"Thank you Aunt Lucy." Kim Eunji replied.
They then went upstairs and changed their clothes.
Nathan was wearing a more casual look. He changed his black pants and loafers into jeans and sneakers respectively. He chose to have a simple V-neck shirt as his top and combed his hair differently.
He also wore his glassed back instead of wearing his colorless contact lenses.
Kim Eunji was speechless the moment she saw Nathan with that look.
It was like Nathan had completely turned into a different person. Maybe because of his hair and the glasses.
He looked softer and more approachable which was far from his aloof and fierce CEO look.
An image of a man with the same silhouette as what Nathan looked like at the moment suddenly appeared in Kim Eunji's head making her to suddenly hiss in pain.
However the image was unclear and the more Kim Eunji wanted the image to be clear the more her head ached. Therefore she had no other choice but to let it go.
"Love! Eunji!" Nathan called her out in panic.
"Ha?"
"Are you okay?" Nathan asked her. He was ready to call a doctor if Kim Eunji was not feeling good.
"Yeah."
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"I am fine. It's just that...I suddenly saw a flashing image of a silhouette and it kind of looked familiar. However, my head ached the more I wanted to see it clearly." Kim Eunji explained.
"If your head hurts, we can go later when you're well rested." Nathan proposed.
Kim Eunji was silent. Nathan then brought Kim Eunji to the bed. Nathan sat down and patted the empty space beside him.
"Sleep...you must be tired."
Kim Eunji then sat down and then eventually changed into a lying position.
"Do you want me to bring some pain meds for you to drink?" Nathan offered.
"No...I don't need them. I already have you..." Kim Eunji huskily said with her eyes closed while her arms were wrapped around Nathan's waist who was still sitting on the bed not knowing that her right arm was in a dangerous position.
Kim Eunji did not argue with Nathan's suggestion because she suddenly felt exhausted because of the headache.
"Does that mean I'm your pain reliever?" Nathan playfully asked her.
"You could think of that hubby." Was her simple answer.
"That's good. Take some rest. We'll leave when you're okay."
Before Nathan let Kim Eunji to sleep, he placed a soft kiss on her forehead and then lastly a peck on her lips.
Nathan was about to let go but suddenly Kim Eunji wrapped her arms around his nape to deepen the kiss.
Kim Eunji moaned when Nathan's skillful tongue evaded her mouth. Nathan groaned when Kim Eunji bit his lower lip.
She then let go of his nape when she felt like suffocating from the kiss. Nathan felt hot and heavily turned on at the moment. He knew Kim Eunji could feel it to because she had reacted to it. However, he tried his best to control himself.
"Don't worry Missus Bai, I'll save our consummation of marriage for tonight. But for now, you have to have some rest and sleep. Okay?"
Kim Eunji only hummed in response.
Nathan was about to stand up and leave when Kim Eunji suddenly held his hand.
"Don't go...please." Kim Eunji said in a cute voice that caught Nathan off-guard.
Nathan felt like crying at the moment. It seems like his wife was punishing him even though he had not done anything wrong.
He wanted to leave to have some cold shower but how could he do that when Kim Eunji was acting cute and clingy all of a sudden?
Poor Nathan. He's in trouble.
"Okay."
Nathan then lay down beside her but with enough distance to not make everything awkward between them.
"Come closer please. I want to feel you." Kim Eunji said in a husky voice that made Nathan to almost lose it.
