Wedding Prepare
This afternoon, Ariana and Samuel finally left for Bali to prepare for their wedding. Taking place at Six Senses Uluwatu, a luxury and expensive resort on the island of Bali, the wedding party for both is planned to take place tomorrow afternoon until evening.
Several relatives and exclusive guests of the Walters family even began to fill the hotel. Some arrived early to enjoy the beauty of the island of Bali while waiting for the wedding ceremony to take place.
As soon as they arrived in Bali, Ariana herself was immediately taken by Arabella to the hotel. The woman was allowed to rest for three hours before continuing a series of activities that had been neatly arranged and had to be carried out that very day.
Exactly at five o’clock in the afternoon, after being satisfied resting, Ariana was asked to go to the lobby of the resort immediately. There, the woman found Samuel, who was also sitting relaxed while waiting for the next order from her mother.
“What are we going to do, sir?” asked Ariana curiously. He had been busy looking left and right as if he was looking for something.
“Ariana,” said Samuel. “We’re no longer at the office. Can’t you call him normally? Don’t you need to use gentlemen?”
Ariana immediately laughed. What else can we do? He was used to calling the slant-eyed man ‘Sir’ or ‘Father.’ Even though he tried, getting used to calling his future husband by name took extra time.
“How about it? It’s a habit.”
“So, from now on, make it a habit to call Samuel, or do you want to call me ‘darling’ as well?”
“Ihh, use all the love. You joke!”
“I’ll be intimate. Let’s get more acting,” Samuel replied quickly. “Anyway, if I hear you call Father again after this, I will count it as a fine, and you must pay compensation.”
Ariana immediately glared. Of course, he didn’t accept the unilateral decision that Samuel had just conveyed. “Why are you being arbitrary like this?”
“Eits! Already one mistake.”
“Geez!” It didn’t take long for Ariana to cover her mouth. Because of his emotions, he let slip again, calling Samuel a father even though he had just given a warning. “You’re so sneaky, Samuel!” looked at Ariana carefully.
“Why are you being sneaky? It’s not stated in the agreement letter in the third clause that the first and second parties must be as friendly as possible in front of other people. If one of them Valerietes, the party that harms is obliged to provide compensation that has been agreed upon.”
“What if I don’t want to?”
“Just get ready to be compensated three times the money I gave you. Count for yourself how much money you have received so far. Just multiply it by Ariana gulped her saliva roughly; soon, she cursed in her heart. Why could he forget the points in the marriage contract between him and Samuel? To avoid taking a wrong step after this, he had to re-check what he should and shouldn’t do in their future marriage.
“Then, what compensation do you want?” asked Ariana resignedly.
“I’ll think about it later. You must be ready at any time if I suddenly charge you.”
Ariana immediately chuckled at the words of her future husband. With a sullen face, he agreed to what Samuel said.
A few minutes later, after a trivial debate over the summons case, the hotel asked them to follow up with Arabella, who was now at the resort’s beach. Once there, the 50-year-old woman seemed busy chatting with several people who were suspected of being professional photographers.
Samuel was naturally curious. The man immediately approached and asked about his and Ariana’s goals until he was asked to follow his mother.
“What did Mama want to tell Samuel and Ariana to come here with?”
Arabella, who had just been chatting, immediately turned her head. Waving his hand, he asked his son to come closer.
“Mama knows you and Ariana have been very busy with work lately and didn’t have time to do anything. So, Mama has arranged today for the two of you to do a pre-wedding photo session.”
Samuel immediately gasped. He didn’t even think about doing a photo session like his mother said.
“Pre-wedding photo? It’s not necessary, Mom. The time is even too tight. Isn’t Samuel getting married tomorrow? So what are these pre-wedding photos for?”
“Yes, for the collection, Mama, Sam. Besides, you should be in Bali; the view is also good.”
“Gosh, Ma. Why don’t you take pictures after the wedding? Or do you collect photos of Samuel and Ariana’s wedding?”
“Okay, no need to protest too much. Now you change your clothes and get ready.”
Samuel could no longer refuse. He and Ariana, assisted by a make-up artist, started changing clothes and then went to a place the photographer team had arranged and provided.
Both were directed to start posing. Look for the best angle to immortalize it as a souvenir.
Of course, it wasn’t easy for Samuel and Ariana to pose comfortably. Each of them initially looked stiff. It even looks so difficult to find gaps to build chemistry.
It wasn’t long before it was Samuel who took the initiative. Like an experienced man, the man grabbed Ariana’s waist. Body close. Eliminate the distance between the two of them.
“What do you want?” whispered Ariana as Samuel hugged Ariana’s hips without awkwardness.
“You don’t have to ask too many questions. You must be quiet and follow what I’m doing so that all this will be over quickly.”
“But —”
“Ariana, can you postpone the protest for later? We don’t have to act intimate in front of everyone. Besides, aren’t you tired of standing here for a long time with Mama?”
Ariana took deep breaths. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see how Arabella seemed to be waiting while watching the movements of the two of them, who had been trying to find the most comfortable pose before starting the photo session.
Samuel is right. Instead of having mutual prestige that ends up not completing this photo shoot, Ariana should follow what her future husband orders.
“You just have to follow what I’m doing. Let’s say that the two of us are a couple who are happy and enthusiastic about doing a pre-wedding photo session.”
Ariana nodded. After being given the order, he tried to relax the body. Reply grabbed Samuel’s body. Put on a smile as sincere as possible. She was trying to build chemistry so that everything he does seems natural.
Seeing Samuel and Ariana getting comfortable and starting to find opportunities to pose, the photographer, who had been on standby, moved quickly to capture the moments of his two clients.
With all her skills, Samuel started embracing, hugging, and staring intensely. He is trying to create the impression that he and Ariana are compatible.
“You’ve never been in a relationship before?” whispered Samuel on the sidelines of the photo session between her and Ariana.
“You mean?”
“Your body movements have been very stiff. Am I the first person ever to be this close to you?” asked Samuel seductively. It was purposeful to make his secretary even more awkward.
“Don’t worry about it. Previously, I also had several courtships.”
“But no one has ever dared to embrace, let alone hug you like this, right?”
Damn it!
What Samuel said was 100% true. As badass as Angga, Ariana’s former ex, this man didn’t dare to touch or hug Ariana like Samuel is now. After all, dating doesn’t always have to be physical contact.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
However, she was proud to admit that Samuel was the first to embrace or hug Ariana this close. The boss’s head could get bigger if he knew he was the first person to be this close to Ariana.
“I don’t know,” said Ariana.
Seconds later, to ward off all accusations from the man in front of her, Ariana dared to act the same as Samuel did. Reply wrapped his hands around the nape of the neck of the slender man. Intense stare. She was trying to balance all the movements that Samuel showed.
Both are getting more and more comfortable. Getting late until, finally, this photo session ended perfectly.
“Tomorrow, I will send some photos, ma’am,” said the photographer. “The best thing can be displayed in front of the venue’s entrance so all guests can see.”
“Good,” said Arabella. “Please find the best photo and print it to show off to all invitees attending the wedding tomorrow. And you two…” said Arabella after turning to Samuel and Ariana. “Now, you guys go out for dinner first. After that, hurry back to your room and rest. Mama wants the bride and groom to be in good shape when the wedding occurs tomorrow.”
Samuel nodded in understanding. The next thing he did was grab Ariana’s wrist. He held the woman intimately to the restaurant to enjoy dinner before resting.
