Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love

Andrew also wanted to wear a ring to tell everyone that he belonged to someone. He belonged to Rachael.

"I don't know what to say." They were married and wearing wedding bands was a normal thing. Rachael had completely forgotten about it amidst the chaos but the fact that Andrew remembered made her feel very happy and satisfied.

Both of them had different reasons to marry each other. When he accepted her whirlwind proposal, she thought he was doing it to fulfil his grandmother's last wish. She didn't think he would take their marriage very seriously.

But the little sweet gestures he had been doing since morning and now the rings— made her feel that maybe she was wrong.

He was as serious as she was about their marriage

"You don't have to say anything." He took the box from her hand and pulled the rings out. "We didn't have a wedding but at least we can get the feeling by exchanging rings, right?"

Rachael smiled and nodded.

After getting her approval, he gently grabbed her hand and placed the ring on her finger.

Gently caressing the ring, he smiled. "It looks more beautiful now." He couldn't explain the satisfaction he was feeling. He felt very proud and happy.

"My turn—" She took the other ring from his hand and placed it on his finger.

"Congratulations to us." Andrew applauded. He then took out his phone. "Let's take a picture."

"You wanna upload it?" When he nodded, she asked, "You are on instagram?"

"I am but usually the PR team handles it. I log in once in a while to check my messages." He quickly logged into the app. "Let me add you first, I have to tag you."

"Okay—" she quickly grabbed her phone and added him back. Telling everyone about their marriage through an insta post didn't sound that bad.

"How should we take the picture?" He was thinking of a pose which would help them flaunt both the rings.

"Let me see." After looking for a while on the internet, she found a perfect pose. "How about this?" She showed it to him.

"This is nice." In the picture, the woman's left hand was on the man's chest while the man's hand was on hers. "Let's try this then." He grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest.

Holding his phone with the other hand, he took a couple of pictures before reviewing them.

"Which one?" He showed her pictures. "I think the first one is better."

"I think so too."

After getting Rachael's approval, Andrew quickly posted the picture with the caption:

[A New Journey With Her ♥ @RachaelWatson]

"Okay, now let's finish your packing."

"One second—" She quickly reposted the picture before tossing her phone aside.

[Outside the mansion]

"Thank you for coming."

"You don't have to thank me madam." Ben closed the trunk. "I am always happy to help."

He was still at the office when he received Andrew's message. He was working with the PR team on the official announcements they were about to release.

"Is everything ready?" Andrew inquired.

He nodded. "Yes boss but—" he hesitated to complete his sentence. There were a few things that couldn't be discussed when a third person was present.

Sensing Ben's hesitation, Rachael quickly excused herself. "I'll go help mom." Assuming they had something important to talk about, she gave them some privacy.

After Rachael left, Ben quickly conveyed the message he had received from Russia. "The news is already out, boss."

"Have you released the news yet?"

"No boss, not yet."

"Call the PR team, ask them to release it now," he instructed him.

"Okay boss."

"Anything else?"

Ben nodded. "Mr.Volkov has already called twice today. He asked me to convey his deepest congratulations to you and he said he will come to see madam soon."

Andrew's expression turned cold when Ben mentioned his grandfather's name. "Tell him Rachael and I won't be attending guests for the time being." There was no way he would let his wife be near any of his maternal family.

"But sir—" Ben wanted to say something but stopped. He knew how sensitive Andrew was when it came to anything remotely related to his maternal family.

"Stop entertaining his calls from now. You have better things to do, don't you?"

"Yes boss."

"Drop the things in my place and ask someone to take it upstairs. I won't be coming to the office for a few days so you have to handle everything," he instructed.

"Okay boss."

"When is Mr.Stephen's programme scheduled?" Andrew inquired.

"Day after tomorrow."

"I'll formally introduce Rachael to everyone that day. Make proper arrangements."

[Inside]

"Oh my God," Emma squealed. "Show it to me."

"Me too," Tina exclaimed.

Both of them grabbed Rachael's hand and awed at the ring.

Emma placed her hand on her chest and gasped, "Oh dear, this ring is beautiful and expensive as fu*ck."

"Uh huh 18 carat—white gold," Tina added.

"And this diamond—damn. Andrew has a good eye for jewellery."

"I know right?" Rachael smiled. "It's so beautiful."

"Emma, I think someone is blushing," Tina grinned.

"Why wouldn't she? Did you not see the latest insta post?" Emma added.

"It was Andrew's idea to upload the picture."

"That reminds me—" Tina quickly opened her instagram. "Your husband is very famous. He has ten times more followers than you, me and Emma combined."
