Chapter 8

The Future Wife

"Holy macaroni!" Ramia yelled as soon as she stopped the bike in front of Julius' house. It was the biggest house she'd ever seen."What macaroni?" Julius asked as soon as he stepped down from her bike.
"Mei you," Ramia said and followed him to the gate.
The gate opened automatically and the guards salute at him when he passed by. when it's Ramia's turn to pass, the guards stopped her.
"Miss, I need your identification card please," one of the guard said.
"No need, Robert. She's with me," Julius said and pulled Ramia's hand.
"I apologized, Sir," the guard said.
Julius waved his hand and they continued to walk. Ramia was surprised though. She knew that WangYan Central High School is for the very rich and popular students in Taipei but she was really surprised that this geeky crybaby is one of them.
"Where exactly are we going?" Ramia asked without even noticing that they're still holding their hands.
"To take money for the ramen that you poured on me," Julius said sarcastically.
They entered the mansion. It was beautiful and fascinating inside but she felt something is wrong in that house. It seems so lonely.
"Your place is kinda creepy. Are you living alone?" Ramia asked out of nowhere.
"Look, we came here to take the money I owed so you can leave me in peace. I don't want any questions about my personal life. Specifically from you. Got that?" He said without looking.
Ramia's head was about to explode. "What the hell---," she started but she was interrupted by the voice coming from behind.
"You looked cute when you're angry," Russel whispered.
"Russel!" Ramia was surprised and kinda embarassed. She lost her poise over this crybaby.
"Where's Paris?" Julius asked and stopped right in front of the door and opened it.
"In the car. We're going to Ye Ye's office, remember?" Russel said and guided Ramia towards the big room.
Ramia followed the boys while talking and her eyes roam around the room. She pressumed it was Julius bedroom. It looks kinda... childish. With all the toys around and the interior.
Fits the nickname well, a crybaby, Ramia thought.
Julius took out his wallet from the secured vault and handed Ramia a bunch of dollars.
"Here's the payment. Just tell your dad that I'm sorry for the wasted ramen," he said dryly.
"Ha! You should be! 'Cause my Dad will kill me," Ramia said and about to turn around when Russel tapped her.
"Smile. Don't let Julius ruin your mood," he winked and smiled at her then pulled Julius outside.
Ramia was captured by Russel's mouth-watering smile. She was daydreaming once again when her phone rang.
"wei?" She answered.
"Ramia! Where are you? I told you to go home quickly after you delivered the orders. Come back now! We have to hurry!" Her mom was yelling at the phone.
"Okay! I'll be there in a minute!" Ramia quickly ride her bike and got out of the mansion before Julius' car passed by the gate.
Paris saw her. "Is that Ramia?" She asked.
"Yeah," Russel said and smiled. "I like her. So carefree."
Paris looked at Ramia fading slowly from their sight. I envy her, she thought.
"I don't like her. She's a boy underneath girl's skin. So rough," Julius pouted and touched his face.
"You hate her because she's strong?" Paris looked at Julius.
"Y-yeah," he stammered. "I don't like her at all."
They approached the Wang Enterprises building. "I wonder what Ye Ye is up to once again?" Russel said as they got out of the car.
They went to the topmost of the building, the penthouse where their grandfather's office is located.
They opened the door and saw their grandpa talking to somebody inside the guest room. They greeted him.
"Da jia hao!" Julius, Russel and Paris greeted without looking at the people in the guest room.
Their grandpa looked at the door and saw his two grandson.
"Oh! My grandsons are here with their friend," Ye Ye said and went to meet them. "Come here Julius. Meet your future wife and parents-in-law."
"W-what?!?!" Julius was surprised. "Who's parents-in-law? Who's my future wife?"
Mr. and Mrs. Wang pulled their daughter out. "Here she is, our daughter, Ramia."
Ramia and Julius stared at each other for a while. When they finally realized what was going on and their brain sinked it in, they both yelled...
"NI?!?!"
