Author's note: I finally wrote a story for ghost hunt. I was inspired by yellowmoon27. Thanks! Oh, Naru's name is kind a changed here to Oliver 'cause that's his original name, right? Though he will also be called Naru in the coming chapters.
Disclaimer: I don't ghost hunt.
Marrying a Millionaire"Mai, listen to me. You should just sell that ring for a high cost and we can pay mother's hospital bills," the twenty years old best friend of Mai, Masako advised her.
"But," she said sympathetically. "This must be very important for its owner. Look," the brunette let Masako see the short message carved on the ring's interior. "It says 'to my love'. How sweet…" Mai lives now with her best friend, Masako together with her mother since her parents died. Unfortunately, Masako's mother got sick a few weeks ago, and she needs to be operated as soon as possible. However, the two still have difficulties making ends meet even they have part time jobs. Not to mention, the operation will cost at least two million yen excluding the other medications after it. Life is just so hard for them.
Masako just opened the television instead of listening to her best friend's crazy antiques in life. "What's that?" she asked herself upon seeing an old man announcing something to the public. It's like breaking news!
"Good evening, minna-sama. I'm the president of the well known, Davis Group of Companies," he introduced himself. "I'm here in front of you asking for some help. I'm calling the attention of whoever found my late wife's engagement ring. The words 'to my love' are carved on it. Please. I'm begging you. I'll give a two million yen reward to the person who can return it to back to me."
"Masako!" Mai called her out loudly. "Did you hear that?" her voice rang throughout their small house much to Masako's dismay.
"Stop yelling, Mai! I heard it so just shut up for a while," she scolded her and continued listening to the president's message.
"Plus…" he paused and showed a playful smile on his lips. "If you are a girl, you can marry my one and only son, Oliver Davis!" Then, a small screen appeared beside him. It was his very handsome son's picture! "I'm hoping for your cooperation. Domo arigato gozaimasu!" His announcement ended.
"Mai, wake up!" Masako snapped her fingers in front of the brunette's eyes to come back to her senses. Her jaw dropped hearing how much the reward money and her eyes widened seeing the face of the raven-haired boy. "Mai, WAKE UP!!" she amplified her voice.
"Masako," her voice was still shaking. "Our problems are solved! Our problems are solved already!!" she jumped out of joy. Finally, her best friend's mother will be cured and they can live happily.
"Fine, Mai but stop acting crazy and sit down," she commanded her childish best friend and Mai did so. "Let me see the ring again." Mai extended her arm to Masako, opened her hand and showed the ring.
"Wait?" she said curiously. "Where's the ring?"
"Don't kid me around, Masako. That's not a funny joke."
Masako raised an eyebrow telling her that she's serious.
"Eh?"
"YOU LOST THE RING, MAI!!" she shouted directly to her ear. "Your stupid hand is empty!!"
"What?!"
"You probably mishandled it while jumping," she tried to calm herself and Mai. "we just have to look for it. You can't sleep until you find the ring, got it?"
"Ye… yeah…" they both started searching the place. The ring is their only hope and they have to find it no matter what.
--ooo000ooo--
"Mister president, are you sure with the other reward you declared to the public. The young master will most likely be angry and disagree. Please excuse me for my opinion," the president's long time assistant politely shared his point of view before handling the cup of tea to him. He knew the president's son well since he was still a child and how will he react to his father's sudden decision for him.
"Don't worry, Ishida," he dialed a number in his phone and signaled his assistant that he may leave.
"Good morning, Noll," the president greeted his cheerfully who has just risen from his bed.
"What do you want, Father? It's just five in the morning here in America."
"Sorry for that," his father laughed. "Anyways, I need you to go back to Japan as soon as possible. This is urgent," he then hung up leaving Oliver not a single chance to answer back.
--ooo000ooo--
Mai was still looking for the ring even the clock has stroke seven in the morning. She did not sleep at all. Her eyes are both red, and her eyes bags are the darkest.
"Ohayo," Masako greeted Mai as she steps out of her room. "Mai!!" she was terrified by her face but soon regained composure. "You look like a monster. What happened?"
"What happened your self! You didn't help last night so I searched alone. This is all your fault," Mai complained to her best friend. "You're unfair!"
"Don't blame me. You lost the ring because of your own stupidity."
--ooo000ooo--
Upon arriving at Narita Airport, Oliver was quickly called by his father to his office. He did not even have time for rest after the long flight.
"So, why did you call for me?" he asked taking a sip of green tea.
"Oliver, are you in a relationship right now?" President Davis asked as he walks around his wide office.
"I don't have time for that," he took another sip. "Why are you asking?" Curiosity covered his face.
"That's great!" the president delighted by his son's answer cheerfully announced his purpose for him. "Prepare yourself, son for a marriage at any moment starting right now."
"What?!" you can see his shocked expression through his dark blue eyes. "What do you mean?"
"Relax. Relax," said he while taking a seat in front of his son. "I kind a lost your mother's engagement ring so… I promised to give the person who can return it a cash reward and…"
"What?" the raven-haired man is now having a little idea about it.
"And if the person who can return it is a girl… she can marry you!" the president followed it with a hilarious laughter.
Author's note: Will Mai find the ring? Will Naru agreed to his father? Watch out for the next chapter. Thank you for reading and please submit reviews. Is my idea great or I'm committing plagiarism?
