Chapter 184: Legally married
After leaving Eliana at The Royal Cusine, Alex proceeded towards the building of the Song Corporations.
Though the Song Corporations has its headquarters in Las Vegas, America, its branches were also in other cities of America, and now in China as well. Being an all-rounder company, people thought that Song Corporations was only maintained by the Song Family, but it wasn't so.
Only the people royal to the Songs knew the fact about the existence of a subsidy under the Song Corporations, which was responsible for its all-rounder feature.
This subsidy had five major heads, and that I am sure all of you have figured out till now.
Yes, you are thinking right, those five heads were:
Eliana Song
Ethan Song
Alexandre DeRose
Reyansh Davis
Iris Johnson
Collectively in the language inside the Song Corporations, they were referred to as The cinq, which meant five in french. All the members in Cinq had the respective fields they excelled in, and thus they all worked together to make the Song Corporation excel in various fields.
Back to the present, Alex stopped his car, in front of a high and high luxurious yet low profile building. This was as requested by Eliana, was situated in a secluded area, because they, particularly the Song siblings hated area with an enormous crowd.
Parking the car, in the basement of the forty-floor building, proceeding towards the private elevator, he pressed the button of the thirty nineteenth floor.
In five minutes, the elevator doors opened, revealing the corridor of the floor. This floor was only meant for The Cinq and their secretaries, other than them, other people and employees were prohibited on this floor.
With his shades on, Alex proceeded towards the room at the end of the corridor. The glass doors enabled the person sitting inside to see outside but the people outside cannot see what is happening inside.
Putting his thumb in the finger sensor, after a few seconds, a beep sounded and the doors opened, revealing the interior of the room.
As it opened, there was a reception desk, it was mainly for the common secretary. Aside from having their P.A.s the Cinq also had a collective assistant for the Cinq.
This Assistant was a forty-year-old male, named Oliver Benette. He served the previous C.E.O. of the Song Industries for five years and then was taken as the collective assistant for the Cinq.
Being trustworthy, he was also the head secretary, which means, all of the secretaries of the members of Cinq were handpicked and trained by him.
"Hey, Ben," Alex said as he entered the room, giving a casual greeting to Oliver.
Oliver was used to the various names that these kids (at least for him, they are kids), addressed him.
Alex called him by the name Ben, Ethan called him by the name Oli brother, Eliana called him by his usual name, Oliver, Rey called him by the name Olive and Irish called him by the name Nette.
Phew, these many names, but for one person.
Anyways, after the reception desk, there was a small corridor that led to a transparent glass door. Opening it, it revealed a white themed room.
It was like a hall, where furniture was kept, all in grey, that made it seem cozy yet formal at the same time.
The furniture kept in it was five sets of two-seater sofas surrounding a big table. The hall opened in another room, where the important stuff related to all the members of the Cinq was kept.
It was probably the safest place to keep things related to the company and other matters here.
In the hall, as Alex entered, he saw a man and a woman already present there.
Iris was busy on her laptop, whereas Reyansh was busy reading a magazine.
"You all are here," said Alex as he took his seat that was in front of them.
Listening to the voice, Iris and Reyansh looked forward at the direction of Alexandre.
"Hey, Rose," Iris greeted.
"Tch, quite calling with that name, will you? It makes me feel like a female!" Alex said with an irritated voice, taking out his frustration for the nth time.
"What's bad in it? You can flirt with yourself while looking in the mirror as you do with every female," Reyansh said with mockery on his face.
Alex sighed, and said, "Cut the crap, I am here for another reason, regarding Ell."
As soon as Eliana's name was mentioned, both, Iris and Reyansh paused their tasks.
Alex said, "I met her when I was going out of the mansion, she said she was going to meet a friend."
"Sigh, this girl really needs some new excuses," Irish said as she chuckled.
How did they find it was an excuse? Heh! These three knew her for a long time, and it's ancient history, whenever she says she is going to meet a friend, something was going on her side.
Contrary to her isolated and aloof nature, she seldom talks to people she doesn't has business with, and by mistake, if she does, the second meeting is impossible if it is not for business.
"I dropped her at the Royal Cusine," Alex notified.
"Ask someone to take out the guest list and see who she had met with," Iris said with a shrug.
"Dear Iris, I am not a fool you know. I tried to do the same but it had been erased," Alex said.
", I don't know that you are not a fool, but I definitely know that you are a fool," Iris answered with sarcasm on her face.
"Shut it you two," Reyansh finally said with his heavy voice.
After a pause, he continued, "Someone you suspect?" directing the question to Alex.
Alex smirked, and started, "Li Wei."
On hearing this, both, Iris and Reyansh were dumbfounded.
.....
The next day,
At the front of the Marriage Registration office stood a black Maybach silently flaunting its pride and status, at its back seat sat a man in a black formal suit, with his black shades on. He was typing something on his phone when a voice came from the front, "Sir, it's time."
The man nodded and getting out of the car, he proceeded inside the building, followed by the other man.
The whole building that was often filled with a couple going in and coming out as a wife and husband, was today empty.
As they came to the main office, the man stood at the front of the office, he glanced at his wristwatch, he seemed like waiting for someone.

After a moment or two, the sounds of heels filled the empty and silent corridor, as the man heard it, he took off his shades and looked in the direction of the sound, with an expressionless face.
When the sound of the heels became the clearest, a woman was seen entering the corridor. She was wearing a cream-colored suit with black check lines. Inside was a black stylish blouse and got well with the suit. The blazer was hung like a cape from her shoulders, she had black shades on and her hair was made into a simple pony. The black pumps made a sound as she came closer to the man. With a black handbag, she looked like a boss.
(The picture of the outfit is posted in my discord server, link is given below)
Following the woman was another woman, that was probably the assistant.
The woman stopped for a moment when she noticed the man looking at her but proceeded to walk and stopped beside the man.
The couple looked like the most beautiful creation of the god, whom he had made with patience and for each other, fitting in like a puzzle.
The man and the woman didn't say a word.
"Mr. Li and Miss Song, please come in."
A voice came, after which both of them entered the room, as the door opened.
As they entered, a sigh from their lips came out.
Inside the room, they both were seated beside each other, in front of the registrar. As they sat, there was not a word spoken, and the silence seemed suffocating.
After observing them, the officer passed the pen and the required material and said, "Please sign this for the final procedure."
The couple took out their shades and took time to read to papers and then without hesitating, both the man and the woman signed the papers one by one and then passed it back to the officer.
After doing some steps and putting a seal on it, the officer announced, "I hereby announce, Mr. Li Wei and Miss Eliana Song, legally wedded, husband and wife. Congratulations."
As the words of the officer finished, both of them were passed their marriage certificates, and coincidentally both of them were looking towards each other.
"Wife."
"Husband."
A faint mumble can be heard from their lips as their gazes were locked on each other.
