Chapter 43: YES, WE ARE GETTING MARRIED

At first Ramon said that he would only introduce Hailee to important people in his company, but what Hailee got to face behind this door, was completely different from what she imagined!

How could Ramon lie to her like this!?Hailee thought angrily when she found the room full of reporters, pointing their camera lenses at Hailee and Ramon.

The flash of light from the camera flashes was painful to the eye and the commotion that followed left Hailee's ears ringing.

For a moment, Hailee didn't even realize where she was and what she was doing. She was too confused to face such a significant change in situation as this. Not only that, Hailee didn't even know what to say anymore.

In front of the dozens of cameras pointing at her and dozens of reporters who were starting to speak, Hailee really didn't know what to do.

Ramon didn't say anything about the so called meeting actually included the media! Not only that, although Hailee still disagreed with their marriage which was less than two weeks away, they agreed not to make it public! Not to mention, bringing a lot of reporters like this!

Ramon really was crazy! Why was he doing all this?! How could he have changed his mind so quickly?

Hailee, with a confused mind, managed to sit on the chair that had been prepared for her and looked at Ramon with a look that was difficult to explain, was it anger, confusion or terror? Hailee was even confused where to start.

In front of them, the reporters said a few words and someone on Ramon's side replied to those words and they all laughed, Ramon even smiled faintly, looking happy! He was really good at acting!

What the reporter said, or what someone on Ramon's side answered, didn't get to register very well in Hailee's head.

She was still busy trying to digest all of this.

In the row of chairs where Hailee sat, Ramon took a seat on her left while on Hailee's right side sat Danny, a confidant of Ramon whom Hailee had met several times.

Next to Danny was another man and beside Ramon was a man who was talking to the reporters now, but Hailee was not at all interested in the pleasantries he was using to open this press conference.

Yes! Ramon did the press conference without telling Hailee ahead of time, and she was able to sniff out the news just now, what actually Ramon was going to announce in this event!

Hailee had seen her parents have this kind of press conference when their company went into trouble and got into a case, which they won in the end and they were proven innocent.

"What is this?" Hailee hissed as she asked Danny sitting next to her. Hailee had never felt this angry before.

After this announcement, everyone would see her and it was certain, her dear step sister, Aileen, and ex-fiancée, Theodore, would also see all this.

But they were nothing compared to what Roland Dimatrio would do. The old man could have gone to the Tordoffs and expose all the lies Hailee had been up to, or worse; he could blackmail Hailee for attempted murder.

Although the last thing was a little tricky, because Roland couldn't possibly say that he paid Hailee to spend the night with him.

But, like many truths that have always been concealed, words can be transformed in such a way by people who have more power, such as Roland Dimatrio.

"The press conference to announce your marriage," Danny replied, in a whisper too.

"D*mn! Why in rush?" Hailee growled impatiently. "What I mean is; why did Ramon decided to do this all of a sudden? "

"That…" Danny hesitated a little while answering Hailee's last question. "You can ask Mr. Tordoff when this press conference ends."

It was not that Danny didn't know the reason behind this seemingly sudden press conference, but it was completely impossible for him to tell Hailee the truth, especially when Ramon didn't say anything to this girl.

After Ramon listened to the conversation between Hailee and Ian this afternoon, the boss said nothing for an hour and just stared at his laptop, but the first words that came out of his lips were; to call some well-known media to do this press conference.

Of course, the news of Ramon Tordoff having a sudden press conference and about to announce his marriage, caused quite a stir.

There was no need to announce it twice, even when they were told this at the last second with very little time left, they did not protest at all and immediately sent their best cameramen and reporters to cover this news.

Ramon Tordoff was willing to share his personal life and what was even more surprising; he was going to marry a woman sometime soon? Of course this bombastic news will be in the spotlight for weeks to come.

"I don't want to talk to him," Hailee grumbled and threw a fierce look at Ramon who was sitting next to her.

But, as if he was not the culprit responsible for her displeasure, Ramon turned around and smiled sweetly at the angry girl and held her hand while leaning his head closer to hers and whispered.

"Don't put on a sullen face like that, you will get a bad photo later," said Ramon quietly.

However, of course the media didn't know what Ramon was saying or what actually happened between the two of them, therefore, seeing Ramon's gesture that looked so affectionate, made them aim their cameras brutally, capturing that rare moment.

"You said it would be a secret and that no one from outside needed to know about this marriage." Hailee gritted her teeth in annoyance, but that didn't push Ramon away from her.

If only Hailee didn't think long and just followed her impulsive wish, then she would have pushed Ramon all her way and shouted angrily at him, but then again Hailee didn't really have such courage.

"I changed my mind," replied Ramon lightly. "Since marriage would only come once in a lifetime, I want this to be a great moment for both of us."

Hailee smiled bitterly at Ramon's statement and was at a loss for words to reply.

Just then, the man sitting on Ramon's left finished speaking his opening words and invited Ramon to speak.

Ramon then pulled Hailee to her feet as he himself stood up as they were still holding each other and displayed their joined hands on the table for the media crew to see, while saying in a low, deep voice; "Yes, we are getting married."
