Chapter 1297 The Proposal
Chapter 1297 The Proposal
Without a second thought, Cassie quickly put her cell phone away, walked down the front steps of the
apartment, and immediately headed to Nick's company, Lansh Technology.
When she arrived, Cassie was stopped by a guard on the first floor.
"Can I ask who you are here to see?"
"I want to see Mr. Ge of Lansh Technology. I'm his girlfriend." Cassie didn't conceal her identity and told
him straight-up.
Clearly confused, the guard stared at Cassie. 'I never thought such an introverted young man would be
dating someone, ' he thought.
Although the security guard was curious about it, he still refrained from asking and merely replied,
"Okay, let me check for you."
After a moment, he hung up the phone and apologized, "The receptionist at Lansh Tech said that Mr.
Ge wasn't in right now. He's on a business trip."
The news made Cassie anxious and she urgently asked, "Did she tell you where he went?"
He could sense Cassie's worry, so he tried to comfort her, "The receptionist didn't say. But she said that
Mr. Ge would be back soon enough, maybe just in a few days."
'He left again!'
With that, Cassie was seething with rage. After all, she was Nick's girlfriend—how could he just leave
without telling her? He refused to answer the phone and she had no idea where he was. It was
infuriating.
"Thank you. I have to go now."
As she left, a scowl was evident on her face.
Looking up at the sky, she could feel the warm and bright sunshine. Still, the sunshine couldn't reach
her doomed heart.
At this point, she was at her wit's end. All she could do was wonder about what went wrong between
her and Nick.
As hard as she thought, Cassie still couldn't figure it out.
Holley and Black grew deeply attached to each other. After a few days, Black already had an idea to
surprise Holley.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, the feeling she gave him was unlike that of any other
woman—Black was certain that he had already fallen deeply in love with her and that he wanted to be
with her for the rest of his life. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
On that note, Black was determined to have a family with her so they could grow old together.
One of those days, while they were on their regular after-work date, Black brought out a whole bouquet
of red roses for Holley before picking out a small box from his pocket, getting down on one knee, and
staring at Holley with deep affection.
There was no surprise in Holley's heart at the scene, only panic. Of course, she couldn't reveal any hint
of resistance. Instead, she pretended to be pleasantly surprised and touched as well as she was able
to.
"Holley, I love you. I want to propose to you. We can build a family together. I will always love you and
never betray you. Will you marry me?" When Black opened the box, Holley was faced with a shiny
huge diamond resting inside.
After finishing his proposal, Black looked up at Holley with bright eyes, believing he would hear the
answer he wanted.
At that point, Holley was barely keeping her smile intact. She didn't dare look at Black directly because
she knew she would break her act if she did.
"This is so sudden… It all happened in a flash. I'm completely unprepared," she smiled awkwardly.
Truly, she was caught in a dilemma.
On the one hand, it was Charles who she loved, not Black, so it was clear that she couldn't accept the
proposal. On the other hand, she urgently needed to secure Black's trust to gain his shares so she
couldn't directly refuse him.
Put in such a spotlight, Holley was so nervous that her forehead was sweating, the droplets rolling
down her temple, to her cheek, and to her jaw.
"I didn't just suddenly propose to you. I've been thinking about this for a long time. I'm sure that I want
to spend the rest of my life with you. I hope you can give me this opportunity to take care of you for as
long as I live."
As he firmly said it, he nudged the ring forward an inch.
"But I still think it's far too sudden. Give me a few days to think about it, okay? I'm sorry."
Without any other excuse to refuse him, she kept her answers vague.
Though he was disappointed, Black also knew that what he did was rather abrupt. All he could think to
do was find another opportunity to propose to Holley. Encouraging himself, he thought, 'I must succeed
next time. Holley will feel my sincerity and accept me.'
"Well, Holley, I respect your choice. I will wait for you as long as you need. Here, take the ring. You can
put it on when you're certain about accepting me," Black said affectionately.
Taking the ring, she simply said, "Thank you, Black."
