Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 960

"Introduce me to a girl so she can watch over me every day. I will be diligent," Rio replied excitedly.
"We're older and not even in a hurry. How dare this little boy here think he needs to find a partner soon!" Aksa said to Mason.
Jason was the one who brought Rio there so seeing his friend's attitude, he felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry. Rio didn't mean anything. He is just bored abroad and wants to return to Indonesia to find a lover. But don't worry, he doesn't mean anything bad. He just wanted to have a girlfriend because he had never been in a relationship before," he said.
"Rio, while chasing after me, you used all kinds of tricks. I think you have a lot of experience. But it turns out you've never been in a relationship. Did you use me as a trial?" Maddison asked.
"She also approached me. But his way is very old-fashioned, unlike someone who is used to changing girlfriends," said Sabrina.
"Jason, don't be fooled by this one kid. He looks like a playboy. How could he never fall in love?" Bella looked in disbelief.
Adel just sat and watched everything that happened with a smile. She is a gentle and obedient girl so she will not participate in criticizing someone together.
Meanwhile, Maya looked at Rio suspiciously, "Have you really never been in love?"
"I've never really been in love. I've never dated. Therefore, I want to spend this holiday looking for a girlfriend. If I meet someone I really love, I don't mind getting married early," Rio said seriously.
"Look at him. Only 19 year olds and he dares to marry early if he meets the right girl. How about you guys who continue to be single until this age?" Maddison turned her gaze towards Aksa and Mason.
"Maddy, my brother just proposed to Sabrina yesterday and you also just got back with Henry today. Why are you so arrogant? I don't want to find a lover because I am afraid that my lover will restrain me and take away my freedom. If I want to find a girlfriend, I can get one in no time," Aksa said arrogantly.

Elena and Michael came up to them to toast together. "Thank you everyone for coming to my humble and Michael's wedding. We are all friends. I'm sure you guys can keep this a secret for me. In addition, I hope that all of you who are still single will find your partner. Let's have a toast!"
After that, Elena and Michael went home early because Elena had to pack up soon. Tomorrow morning, she must leave Indonesia as originally planned.
Not long after Elena and Michael left, Arka and Sabrina also left. Several people who came with their respective partners also immediately left the place. They did not want to waste their time there with the single ones.
Henry has just recovered and still has to take care of his health. Maddison was worried about him, afraid that the man would be too exhausted to leave early.
Adrian is a workaholic. Instead of spending his time partying like this, he'd better go home to continue his work or monitor the stock market. So, she went home with Adel and Bella who lived in his house.
There were only four single men who stayed. Aksa, Mason, Jason and also Rio. Maya took lots of photos of the four of them and recorded them with her cell phone.
After everything was done, Maya looked very satisfied.
She already got all the ideas in her mind. These four single men, no matter who they were, they would all become targets of women.
If she put the four of them together, she could have a very interesting matchmaking party.
She could use the single men to attract women's attention and turn their meeting into a private jewelry exhibition.
Maya thought for a moment and felt that these four men alone were not enough. Although Adrian has no plans to find a lover in the near future, Maya wants to use him to increase the number of high-quality single men.
With the five of them, the men could also invite their handsome and wealthy friends. Maya worked overtime to draft the business proposal. She wants to hold a jewelry exhibition.
She can arrange blind dates for her siblings as well as a jewelry exhibition. Isn't that beneficial for all parties?

It didn't matter whether the blind date was a success or not, she had the opportunity to sell a large amount of her jewelry, especially the ones designed by Sabrina, which could serve as a means of self-protection. Such jewelry is sure to attract the attention of women from wealthy families.
Aksa and Mason are already mature enough to get married and can be used as main targets. Meanwhile, the young Adrian would be able to get married after dating for several years.
For families with teenage daughters, they can consider Jason and Rio as potential partners in the future.
As soon as Maya thought of how much profit she could make in this event, she started humming happily.
When she was working late to write the proposal, Nadine suddenly made a video call to her.
"Mom, I'm working late. If there's nothing urgent, can you give me a call after I'm done?" Maya put her cell phone on a stand and looked at the screen every now and then.
Nadine could only shake her head sadly. "I got a workaholic husband and gave birth to a daughter who was just as workaholic as her father. Don't stay up like this, you'll age faster."
"I'm really busy. What is it? I can listen to you carefully after I finish my work later. If you can't wait, please tell me briefly," Maya was confused when she heard her mother's complaint.
"Arka and Sabrina are getting married. I will return to Indonesia and help with their wedding. When I get home, I want to match you with someone," Nadine said seriously.
"What are you talking about?" Maya thinks she heard wrong. She was busy arranging blind dates for her siblings, but she didn't expect her mother to do the same for her.
Nadine laughed. "You're 24 years old, heading to 25. You need time to date and get engaged before getting married later. That's why I want to take this opportunity to set you up with someone so you can prepare for your wedding later."
"If you go back to Indonesia to help uncle, why do you even need to do that? Mom, don't you love me anymore so you want me to get out of the house right away? I don't want to get married too soon," Maya said with a pitiful look to melt her mother's heart.
"Of course I love you so much. That's why I hope you find a good future home for you. I can only be relieved when I see you happy," Nadine said.
"I'm happy now. I'm rich and I do a job I love. I really enjoy my life," Maya said with a smile.
"Maya, I think you have the wrong view. In this life, everything is not only about money. No need to work too hard. I don't want you to be too tired. I don't want you to be so strong that you can't rely on others," Nadine replied.
"But your daughter will soon become CEO of Mawardi Group. As soon as my father put Mawardi as my last name, you know that sooner or later, the burden of the Mawardi Group will fall on my shoulders. Mother, your daughter is achieving many great things and you are very proud of her, right?" Maya said half-jokingly.
"Did Della not help you? What about Sabrina?" Nadine felt very depressed when she heard that all the burdens of the Mawardi Group would be carried by her daughter alone.
"Aunt Della will work in the design department. Neither her nor Sabrina were interested in business. They are only interested in jewelry design. Don't make things more complicated. Mom, I don't have time to look for a lover anytime soon. But if I find someone suitable for me, I will consider it." Since childhood, Maya has been a very understanding child.
She knew the worry her mother was feeling and the right words to calm her down.
