Married At First Glance: I Am Not Ugly

And besides, since they decided not to talk about personal matters, he decided that he shouldn’t push the matter further so as not to make her uncomfortable.

He decided to change the topic to a more interesting and comfortable conversation.

“Have you ever been to Switzerland before?” he asked her.

Marissa shook her head.

“Nah… this is actually my first time. Like my first time ever traveling and leaving the country.”

“Looks like we’re embarking on this adventure together,” he said.

Marissa nodded.

“What about you? Is this your first time traveling to Switzerland?”

“Nop…. I have traveled there a lot when I was growing up.” he said.

“If you don’t mind…. can you tell me more about it?” she asked.

“Sure,” Alexander replied. “Switzerland is a beautiful country known for its stunning landscapes.

The mountains, lakes, and picturesque villages are a sight to behold. The Swiss Alps offer some of the most breathtaking views you can imagine. We’ll have a chance to see all of that.”

As he spoke, Marissa listened with genuine interest, eager to learn more about the place they were traveling to.

“Switzerland is also famous for its chocolate and watches.

The chocolate is exquisite, and the craftsmanship that goes into Swiss watches is renowned worldwide. You might want to bring some back as souvenirs.”

Marissa smiled, feeling more excited about the trip as she absorbed the information.

“I will definitely like to take some souvenirs back home.”

“Where are we going to be staying?” she asked.

Alexander explained, “We’ll be staying in a lovely chalet in the Swiss Alps, which should provide an authentic and cozy experience.

The views from there are truly spectacular, especially when you wake up and look outside.”

Marissa’s eyes lit up with anticipation. “That sounds incredible. I can’t wait to see it.”

“I assure you, you will love it.” he said.

She smiled and he returned the smile.

As Marissa looked away looking through the plane window at the sky, Alexander admired her.

He found himself drawn to Marissa’s smile, appreciating her company and the light-hearted conversation they were sharing.

While their journey had started as a business deal, there was no denying the unique connection that was forming between them.

As the plane flew toward Switzerland, Marissa’s worry turned into excitement. She started to look forward to the beautiful sights and the new adventure. Alexander also began to like having Marissa as his travel companion.

Both of them were beginning to see that this trip would bring more than just business opportunities. It might bring new feelings and experiences they didn’t expect.

Marissa couldn’t help but notice how kind and different Alexander was during this trip, compared to their initial arrangement. She found herself wondering about the possibilities that lay ahead.

She thought that the person she thought was annoying and selfish could be kind and considerate.

“I guess one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover huh?” she told herself as she looked at him with a smile and quickly looked away before he would notice her staring at him.

Just then the air hostess arrived at her seat and greeted her warmly.

“What would you like to have before we land, Ma’am?”

She looked at Alexander who was busy going through some files and then looked at the hostess.

“What’s on your menu?” she asked the air hostess.

The air hostess presented the menu with a smile. “We have a variety of options, Ma’am.

You can choose from chicken, beef, or vegetarian dishes. We also have some light salads if you prefer that.

And for dessert, we have chocolate cake or fruit salad.”

Marissa glanced at the menu and then at Alexander.

“What would you like, Alexander?”

He looked up from his files and smiled. “I’ll go with the chicken, please.”

She turned back to the air hostess. “I’ll have the chicken too, thank you.”

The air hostess noted down their choices and assured them that the meal would be served shortly.

As she moved to the next row of seats, Marissa felt a growing sense of anticipation about the journey and the unexpected connection she was forming with her fake husband.

As the plane began its descent into Switzerland, Marissa couldn’t help but feel excited about the adventure that awaited them.

She was still keeping her true motive for this fake marriage a secret, but she was starting to believe that this journey might bring some unexpected changes to her life.

The plane landed at Zurich Airport, and as they disembarked, Marissa was in awe of the stunning surroundings.

The crisp Swiss air, the majestic Alps in the distance, and the charming city of Zurich welcomed them to this new chapter of their fake marriage.

Alexander, with a confident smile, turned to Marissa.

“Welcome to Switzerland, Marissa. Our business journey and this temporary marriage have officially begun.”

Marissa couldn’t help but return his smile, her heart full of hope for the opportunities and challenges that lay ahead in this beautiful country.

As they left the airport and headed to their ride, Marissa enjoyed the beautiful scenery in Switzerland.

The mountains, covered in snow, looked majestic, and the crystal-clear lakes mirrored the blue sky. It was a stark contrast to the city’s hustle and bustle she was used to.

Alexander, too, was taken by the stunning views. The vibrant colors of Switzerland breathed new life into him.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

He felt a renewed sense of determination for their business deal and their unique fake marriage.

Marissa looked at him and spoke.

“I think this adventure will be unforgettable, Alexander.”

“This place is so beautiful.” she smiled as she admired the surroundings.

“You ain’t seen nothing yet. After the business deal, we could later on go and explore the town. If you want.” he said.

“If I want? Hell yeah I want to!” She said, excitement in her voice.

“I love adventure.”

Alexander smiled as he stared at Marissa. He couldn’t help but feel intrigued about what was in store for their faux-marital escapade (Which means a false or fake marriage)….
