Marry me

Luna found herself at a loss for words as she blinked at him.

Suddenly, Dexter's deep voice emerged. "Miss Jones, what about marrying me?"

Luna was stunned the moment she heard that. She lifted her eyes and stared at the man in front of her in shock. "President Kings, w-what did you say?"

"I said, marry me." Dexter repeated himself impatiently. His handsome face looked very serious, and he didn't seem to be joking.

After a long time, Luna finally regained her senses.

"President Kings, why me?"

Her mind racing non-stop, for she thought the man had some ulterior motive.

Dexter looked outside the window and explained to her coldly, "My grandmother is very sick. Her greatest wish now is to see me get married. I bluffed her and told her that I already have a girlfriend and that we're preparing to get married."

As Luna listened attentively to the explanation, the same doubt surfaced in her mind. Why did he choose me?

Perceiving Luna's confusion, Dexter took up the teacup and took a sip. "You're an employee in NextC Group, which will make it easier for him to buy into it."

Luna cleared her throat and began to say, "President Kings, I am sorry. I always wish to marry the man I love.... "

"Who do you love then? Robert Kings? Well, he's your brother-in-law now." Dexter exposed the truth mercilessly.

A dark expression passed over her face. She was clearly displeased with what he had said.

"The details and features in your design are well-thought of, Miss Jones," Dexter remarked with an air of finality.

When he was done with his words, he rose from his seat. He stood tall and Luna found herself craning her neck to look at him.

As she was surprised at his announcement, she hurriedly rose on her feet as well and exclaimed, "Thank you, President Kings. I—"

"You don't have to give me the answer right now. But it would be great if you give me the answer today." Dexter said but it sounded like a order.

Upon hearing the sound of the door being closed, she could feel her legs turned to jelly.

"Why does a powerful man like him want to help someone infamous like me? Luna couldn't understand it, but she didn't dwell on it."

With a deep sighed, she took her purse to walk out of the conference room.

"Miss Jones, Manager is looking for you," One staff called. Luna was stunned for a moment before responding, "Alright, I'll head over at once!"

Luna tidied her documents and headed towards the Manager office.

Luna knocked on the door and pushed it open after hearing a voice telling her to enter. There she saw Robert sitting on the couch reading some financial news. Seeing Luna enter, he impatiently asked, "Why did you block me?"

"We're at the office now and it's still working hours, Manager." Luna interrupted with a stern voice.

Robert stared at Luna meaningfully for a while before he finally asked, "Pack your stuff. You will join YC branch tomorrow."

Luna laughed coldly inside. She clearly knew what Robert was up to.

"Why? Mabel hate to see me here." Luna snapped.

Robert expression changed after hearing Luna's words. His sharp glare landed on her. But Luna merely straightened her back, completely unafraid of Robert's gaze. She had not expected the man who once vowed to love her forever talk to her in such a degrading manner.

"Dive deep and ask yourself, Robert. What did I do that was so wrong that you have to do this to me?"

"What about you? Have you ever thought about me? If you had even cared about me, I wouldn't have pulled this today." Robert looked at her in disappointment.

"I know our relationship turned something. But I never dream that you would cheat on me with my sister" She sneered.

"You know that our relationship turned something. But still you didn't care...You are against with me everything. I felt like you don't love me."

"That was just an excuse!"

"Oh really! You don't want to move in with me. Moreover, you hate to touch you. I am a man. I need love." Robert raored.

"I didn't hate you to touch me. I told you I am not ready for it."

"It's because you don't love me."

"No...Don't try to blame me like that."

Luna thought she would go crazy if this conversation with Robert kept up.

"But Mabel is different. She is not a self centered like you." Robert squinted his eyes.

"So you slept with her. Well done! Be happy with her forever." Luna started tearing up.

Robert clenched his fists as he was trying to calm down. "Join YC branch tomorrow. I will arrange a place nearby your workplace as soon as possible."

Luna thought this man was laughable, unbelievable, even.

"Sorry! If Mabel doesn't want to see me here. Let her join YC branch. Not me!" Luna gave a last look before she stormed out of the room.
