Chapter 353: Vote For
"Did you two really have to hide the fact that you two were married from us?" Raine asked after a few seconds of, ironically, recalibrating herself. "Why?"
At her question, Levi immediately gestured to Mia, the latter quickly stepping forward as she giggled, "Well, I just thought it would be a neat prank to play with you all... assuming none of you caught on this early, unfortunately."
Raine didn’t know whether to laugh or to congratulate the newlywedded couple before her. Sure, they hid their marriage from them all for a laugh, but it was something that she could respect. Why, if she had the same idea, she probably would’ve suggested the same thing to Nathan.
"Fair play then," Raine shrugged. "Too bad Lyne and I caught you two in the act."
"That’s assuming you two wouldn’t play along for laughs," Mia slyly suggested. "It’s just the two of you that know right now, right?"
Raine looked at Lyne, her right-hand woman neutrally backing off with raised eyebrows. It would seem that the decision would fall to her then.
"Assuming that we do so, how are we going to be sure that we’ll get our fair share of reactions from the people you try to prank?" Raine negotiated with a smirk. "Lyne and I are fine with it, but we still have to get something out of it?"
"Wouldn’t the CCTV cameras be enough for it?" Mia bartered with skillful intent. "With Levi and I in charge of it all, we could save some of the footage and have it shipped to the two of you easily."
Raine chuckled as she turned to Lyne, her friend shaking her head as if in admonishment of their current banter. "Is there something on your mind, Lyne?"
"You’re all assuming that I’ll still be here to acquire potential footage," Lyne faintly smirked, giving Raine a knowing look before turning to look at the couple in the room. "Also, shouldn’t your marriage be made public just so nobody would question why you two might go on sudden leave together someday?"
Levi scoffed, "That’s what I tried to tell Mia before, but she said it’d be fine."
