“What happened? You sound tensed.”
“Check your phone; you will realize the reason why I’m tense. I can’t tell the same on the phone, you know.” Caroline replied and wearing the clothes. She wasn’t sure whether her message would be helpful or not. So, she needed to be there as soon as possible. Caroline disconnected the call and saw a blue tick on the message that she had sent to Charlotte.
[Charlotte: Oh. MY. GOD!!]
Charlotte quickly ran toward her father to make him check his message. She couldn’t believe that Caroline had done something like that.
[Caroline: Lotte, soon a man in a charcoal grey suit and white shirt under it will be approaching near you and Uncle Oli.
[He is my mate.]
[Not just mate, but we both also have already marked each other.]
[For now, don’t ask anything from me; I will give the complete detail later.]
[It was like a flash marriage because he was so amazing, so handsome, so caring, and so loving that I didn’t mind taking risks. He doesn’t know anything about me because I introduce myself as NOBODY.]
[He will be reaching near you for the same deal that Santino offered. I won’t say to sign it just because he is my mate. But just give him a chance and hear him out. Please. Please. Please.]
[And act like strangers when we come across. You have to use your acting skill. You know. Please. Please.]
[I love you, Uncle Oli, pleaseeeee.]
Oliver read all the messages sent by his niece with a frown on his face. And typed [I love you too, Caro. You better have an explanation for it.]
He had almost left the office premises when Charlotte reached near him and asked him to check his message. He couldn’t take a step toward the outside.
“Mr. Weasley!!” He heard someone’s voice and turned around and saw a fine young man in a charcoal grey suit and white shirt under it, just like his niece had told him. Oliver looked at him, narrowing his eyes. “Good Evening!! And I apologize for stopping you from behind.” Artemis said in a calm tone, sensing his anger.
“I’m Artemis Gosling and…”
“Gosling?” Oliver scoffed. “One more Gosling who doesn’t know M or Manners.” He taunted. Artemis didn’t have any choice but to hear this because he knew that Santino had really pissed him off. While Oliver observed his reaction. At the same time, Santino was waiting for Oliver to lash his anger out at Artemis.
“I believe you’re upset with my cousin’s behavior. I apologize on his behalf.” Artemis said again. “I was wondering if you could forgive him and give ur company one more chance and hear me out.” he requested.
‘Insult him, Oliver Weasley.’ Santino was ready to enjoy the show happily.
“Please, sir!! Please give my husband and our company one more chance.” Out of nowhere, a lady in black came into the picture. Santino was so happy that with everything, he didn’t see her coming. At the same time, even Artemis was shocked by Caroline’s sudden presence.
She was wearing black flared pants, a black semi-formal blazer, and a plain black t-shirt under it.
‘Husband?’ Santino looked at her in surprise. ‘So, she is that witch?’
‘If being sexy was a crime, you’d be guilty as charged.’ Artemis said, looking at her mate.
‘Even in this situation, you can’t leave your cheesy lines.’ Caroline responded in her mind.

“Dad, I think we can give some of our minutes,” Charlotte said, trying to control her hand, which was inching to hug her cousin, who was more like her elder sister. She wanted to ask so many things with this adventure because, as far as she knew, Calvin was into adventure, not her.
“She is my wife, Caroline Gosling.” Artemis introduced her to a group of four people. He knew Oliver Weasley and his daughter, not the rest.
“Ten minutes.” Oliver finally said, opening his mouth after moving his eyes from Artemis to Caroline for a while. He couldn’t understand why his niece took such a big step that too without informing anyone in the family. He could see that Artemis was just like Caroline had written, but to him, ‘good looks’ was something that could get a strong point in the selection of selecting a life partner.
“That… that will be enough, Mr. Weasley. Please this way.” Artemis said with a big smile on his face. He couldn’t believe his luck. He really didn’t expect that Oliver Weasley would give him a chance to hear him. That too this easily, and he wasn’t mad at him for the behavior of his cousin, obviously.
‘Our mate is our lucky charm.’ Bolt commented.
‘Indeed she is.’ Artemis agreed.
“Mr. Weasley, you…” Sanction tried to come into the picture. Not able to believe that how all this happen. How the table turned in Artemis's favor all of a sudden? He was waiting for a great show, but it looked like nothing like that was going to happen.
“I don’t want a disgusting man like him anywhere around me or any of my people.” Oliver Weasley sneered at the sight of him in front of everyone. It looked like instead of Artemis, Santino became the topic of laughter and joke.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Weasley. He won’t be around.” Artemis assured him and mind-linked Raul to take them to the meeting room on his floor. Once they left with Raul, Artemis looked at his mate again. “Why did you leave the bed, sweetheart? You should be resting.” He said in concern.
“Of course, she is here to help you by possessing Mr. Weasley and his team,” Santino commented, looking at Caroline from top to bottom.
