My Girlfriend Helped Her Assistant Get A Green Card
During the company’s celebration party, Zenia Andrews, my girlfriend, declared in front of everyone that she was going to get married.
Everyone turned to look at me with teasing smiles.
“Not bad, Felix; you’re finally tying the knot with Zenia.”
However, their smiles stiffened the very next second, because Zenia announced that she was not marrying me, but her assistant. I showed no sign of anger or sadness. I just dug out a wad of cash and threw it in her face.
“Get someone else to be his bridegroom. Here’s five hundred dollars. Split it evenly between you two.”
Zenia ran over and said airily to me, “Don’t get jealous so easily! I already told you that we’re just going through the motions. He’s a foreigner and wants to get a green card. The easiest way for him to do so is by marrying me. The moment he gets it, we’ll get divorced. Then, I’ll marry you right away, okay? He even prepared a wedding gift for you to repay you!”
I just smiled as I listened to her. When she saw that I was not behaving strangely, she nodded in relief and returned to the banquet hall.
She trampled all over my love like it was worth nothing. How could I possibly let her trample all over it again?
My next reaction was to call our rival company. “We’ll do as we promised last time. I’ll bring all the core patents when I join you.”
