Chapter 5

• as they walked out of the hotel, a black Mercedes Maybach seden was waiting downstairs. Raymond opening the door for Elsa. she looked quite and calm, but infact, she was wondering how wealthy they were. Elsa thought how fortunate it was for him to have lots of money. after seeing the car and the servants waiting on her hand and foot, she thought he would have no issues in getting her necklace back. she felt less guilty.
• according to Elsa's instructions, the car pulled up to her apartment. I'll be out shortly, and I just need to get a few things," Elsa said and got out of the car. she dashed to the fifth floor.
• this was the apartment she shared with her friend Melissa latonia. although the building was old, it was in excellent condition. it was in the center of the city, so it was convenient for her to get back and forth from work.
• the door opened, and the room was quite. Melissa was not there, so she couldn't share the news about her getting married. she went back to her room and grabbed some of her belongings and ran down stairs. when she reached the second floor, she met aunt Lucia. Lucia called her "honey" Elsa smiled, "hello aunt Lucia," her aunt was a woman who was curious about everything in the building, she pulled her just like she was going to share the latest news with Elsa," someone in our building has kept a mistress."
• Elsa gasped, "huh?" "the car downstairs," Lucia said mysteriously, must be a good car. I think it's at least worth $500,000. do you think anyone who lives in our building can afford to drive a car like that?" Elsa wondered if she would have a heart attack if she told her that the car was worth nine million.
• "maybe the company car came to pick up some people," Elsa said awkward."well, I've lived for more than forty years in this building, and I am always right! someone must have been keeping a mistress!" Lucia said in a hurry.
• "auntie, it's time for you to go home and cook," Elsa said. Lucia remembered that she still had onion in her hand, and as she left, she mumbling, "who is it?" Elsa was shaking her head as she ran down stairs quickly.
• she got in the car, Raymond saw that Elsa's expression was a little strange. he asked, "what's wrong?" Elsa hesitated for a moment and whispered, "someone said I was your mistress." Raymond was surprised to hear her say that. he picked up his his eyebrows and said. if I had a mistress like you, there would be a price that you would have to pay. "what's the price? Elsa said.
• "why would someone like to keep a mistress?" she asked. I think it is because the wife is no longer interested in sex. therefore, the man looks for someone open-minded and sensual. does that make sense? Raymond replied. Elsa thought about it, and then she responded to what he had said and shook her head at once. "I guess it's like trading a relationship. is it pure?" Raymond smiled.
• when they arrived at the courthouse, there were many people already waiting in line from the door way to the court house, the two of them looked handsome and beautiful. it attracted the attention of all the people in the hall, not only the men but also the woman. Elsa always had confidence in her looks, but now she knew clearly that most of their eyes were not looking at her.
• even she could not help looking at the man standing beside her.
• even through Elsa was wearing high heels, she was only up to his shoulders. he must be at least six feet tall. he was so close that she could feel his hot breath on her neck. he was so handsome that when people gazed at him, they were unable to move their eyes from his face. Elsa sighed in her heart. she was in a better state, even if she is getting a sham marriage, at least this person was incredibly handsome.
• it wasn't an issue for them to get the certificate. All they had to do is fill out the form, pay the money, and get a picture taken. it was so quick that Elsa was a little unresponsive when she was about to sign it, she hesitated. was she really going to marry someone she just met and for a deal? if her mother was still alive, what would she say?
• "mis Elsa?" Raymond had already signed, and the clerk called to her as she was in a daze. Elsa looked up and looked at her in a bit of panic. with the Pen in her hand, she held it even more tightly. All the confused through inner head were reflection in her face, and her large were full of hesitation, who was the man beside her? how could he not understand her thought? Raymond frowned slightly and said unhappily, "don't tell me you are starting to regret it now. do you regret it?"
• the clerk could feel a strange atmosphere surrounded them. she collected the paper and looked at them, doubtfully, "miss Elsa, are you getting married voluntarily?" Elsa didn't expect to be asked this question, she nodded, " I'm willing, I will sign it."
• as soon as she tried to step forward, Elsa was held by a man's big hand and brought her into his arms. he hugged her waist and with one hand, pressed her chin in the other, his eyes narrowed, and her soft lips were stamped with his thin lips. Elsa opened her eyes in disbelief, through they had been affectionate the night before, it was the first time she had been kissed by him when she was sober!
• she could clearly feel the man's breath on her face. the courthouse was very busy, but everyone stopped and admired the beautiful couple, and then someone cheered. there were so many couples kissing, so the staff at the courthouse were used to it. however, it was rare for both men and women to be as good looking as they were.
• Elsa felt shy and suddenly started to get angry. she stepped on his foot, and he had to let her go. he looked at her with his eyebrows raised, "she thought it you didn't want to marry me. "she was breathing nervously, and her face was so red from anger. she immediately signed and took the marriage certificate. she took Raymond hand and bowed out quickly.
• behind them, there were some laughter, "oh, they are so sweet! this would make a awesome to show. they are really better looking than the actor and actresses that I have seen. "there was a staff member who was struck by Raymond, she said it regretfully, "what a handsome man, unfortunately he has a wife already."
• after stepping out of the city courthouse, Elsa still felt her face burned up. "how could you do that?" she asked Raymond sounding angry. "what did I do?" Raymond asked with a self-satisfied smirk. " you kissed me in public." Elsa stammered off.
• Raymond leaned over. feeling his face was getting closer and closer, Elsa stepped back to avoid what had happened to her just now. "you hesitated when the clerk asked you. how should we settle this? Raymond seemed to see through her thoughts and took the upper hand. she had no way to refute and whispered, sounding guilty, " just, just a little bit... "what if he finds out that it's a fake marriage? " he asked.
