AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Galane Hotel.

Roxane didn’t want to attract too much attention so she didn’t want to enter the hotel with Sebastien.

He didn’t force her and let Patrice bring her in. However, Patrice was also very busy today. Since it was the company’s annual dinner, all employees from different departments were present. The company didn’t prohibit romantic relationships in the office, so he wanted to take the opportunity to see if there was a single coworker he could get along with.

After entering the hotel, Patrice checked his coat and received the ticket for the draw. Then he called Lucile from the secretary’s office to accompany Roxane.

Lucile wore a long white dress this evening. When she saw Roxane, she felt like her heart was melting. She couldn’t help but ask enthusiastically:

– Madame Flores, you are really, really, really cute. Can I take a photo with you?

Roxane was quite embarrassed when she was called Madame Flores. She quickly said:

– You can call me Roxane. Of course we can take a photo.

Lucile quickly took out her phone and stood next to Roxane to take a photo. In the end, she couldn’t help but take a few more.

Roxane was very patient when she took the photos.

After that, Lucile finally remembered that her task tonight was to take care of Roxane. She asked enthusiastically:

– Madame Flores, what do you want to eat? There are all kinds of desserts. There is also champagne. I’ll get some for you.

– It’s not necessary. I will go with you, Roxane said softly before reminding Lucile to address her by name again. She felt embarrassed every time she heard the words “Madame Flores”.

Seeing how Roxane insisted, Lucile naturally couldn’t refuse and started calling her Roxane. She quickly informed him of tonight’s agenda.

First, there would be speeches from a few department heads followed by performances by various departments. At the end there would be the draw with generous prizes.

Despite being a publicly traded company, the Flores Corporation’s annual dinner was relatively simple. Unlike many ostentatious front companies who liked to show off but didn’t even want to hand out red packets.

Lucile placed her palms together and made a wish.

– Please, please, please bless me and let me win the 50, 000 prize!

Roxane’s wish was a little smaller. She only wanted the drawing tablet.

Lucile looked at the tag on Roxane’s wrist and asked:

– Roxane, are you also participating in the draw?

She nodded.

– Don’t worry. I don’t want the prize money. I only want an electronic product!

– What electronic product do you want? President Flores won’t buy it for you?

Lucile asked, grumbling inwardly: “Who knew that President Flores was so stingy?”

Roxane naturally couldn’t reveal that she and Sebastien were only nominal husband and wife. Therefore, she said,

– How can a gift from a man be compared to the joy of winning a draw? You do not agree ?

Although Lucile nodded in agreement, she continued to grumble inwardly: “President Flores is really too stingy! Madame Flores is so cute and beautiful. Even if she wants the moon in the sky, it’s not too much! To think she can’t even bear to buy the electronics she wants. When I win the 500, 000 cash prize, I will buy it for her!”

Later, Roxane, who had drunk two glasses of fruit juice, had to go to the toilet. Lucile was very enthusiastic and wanted to accompany him, but she quickly refused.

After she entered the stall, she heard the bathroom door open before hearing the sound of conversation.

-Did you see that person in a pink dress? I heard she was President Flores’ wife!

-Ah! No wonder this lackey, Lucile, is so eager to curry favor with him.

Roxane, who was sitting on the toilet bowl, felt speechless. It seemed the novels were right; you could always hear gossip in the bathroom.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

– She looks so young, like she’s underage. I really didn’t expect it to be President Flores’ guy. Indeed, all men like young girls.

– Didn’t they say that President Flores didn’t like women? Why did he suddenly marry an underdeveloped girl?

Roxane lowered her head to look at her chest. She could still hold them together. Then she thought, “Why do they need to resort to personal attacks when they gossip?”

-Ah! Maybe President Flores really doesn’t like women, so he found a gullible child to be his shield.

– Gullible? How do you know it wasn’t a vixen who seduced him? She…

Before the woman could finish her words…

Slam!

The cabin door was opened with a loud kick, startling both women.

-Which department are you from? Since you like to discuss your boss’s private life, why don’t you say it in front of everyone?

– You… Who are you? What does this have to do with what department we come from?

-Who I am has nothing to do with you. Can’t I speak up when I see injustice?

– Crazy!

Both women looked at the other woman. They didn’t touch up their makeup and quickly left the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Roxane quietly opened the door to her cabin. Through the space, she saw a girl dressed in a white sweater, black pants, and a pair of Doc Marten boots.

When the girl turned around, their eyes met.

After a while, the duo said at the same time…

– Miss Flores…

– Sister in law…

Roxane looked at Christine.

She was completely different from when she was in the hospital. She was bright and full of vitality now.

Roxane asked:

– Do you know me?

– Of course, Christine declared bluntly,

– I heard for a long time that my brother got married. I didn’t expect you to be so young. You are even younger than me…

Roxane went out. She explained, embarrassed:

– I only look young. I’m already 20 years old.

– I know. Otherwise, how could you marry my brother, Christine said with a smile.

– How do you know me?

Roxane asked curiously.

– I am friends with Lucile on WeChat. She posted a photo of you earlier, Christine said, waving her phone.

– When did you come back? Does Sebastien know? Roxane asked again.

– I got off the plane an hour ago. I’m going to surprise him. Sister-in-law, help me keep this a secret, okay? she said with a wink.

Roxane blushed when Christine called her “sister-in-law.” She said:

– You can call me Roxane. I’m not much older than you…

Christine was only 18 years old so Roxane was only two years older than her.

-It’s not okay. If big brother finds out, he will break my legs, Christine said. Then, she began to praise Roxane:

-Sister-in-law, you are so pretty and cute. If I were a man, I would definitely fight with my brother to marry you!

Roxane’s face was very hot.

– Oh okay. Don’t take the words of these two women to heart. I’ll tell big brother to kick them out later, Christine said. Her appearance was delicate and she looked as if she had been spoiled and pampered by Sebastian. She was lively, outgoing and frank.

Roxane shook her head.

– It’s not necessary. They were just chatting. It’s not like they made a mistake at work. It is inappropriate to fire them for gossiping.

Christine said sadly:

-They behave terribly. If people like them stay in the company, they will not only tarnish the company’s reputation, but also affect the harmony in the office. Besides, if my brother can’t even defend his wife, is he still a man?

Roxane: …

“Is she really his biological sister?”
