Chapter 18 I Need You to Marry Me
After saying this, Clara left the banquet hall.
Steve stared at her slender back as she left, and cracks finally appeared on his gentle face.
This woman who had run to the bathroom 10 minutes ago in a mess had come back as that assertive Lady Rowan of old.
Perhaps because Clara had said with such certainty, there already were guests in the party who questioned whether the video just now was true or false. Some guests even came to tentatively ask Steve, making him a bit embarrassed.
After finally putting aside those guests, Steve went to the corner and made a call, "Take care of all those videos on the internet..."
After a pause, Steve said added sullenly, "These days have someone follow Clara Rowan 24hrs a day!"
He wanted to see who was helping Clara Rowan.
Having lectured those scumbags in front of so many business leaders, Clara felt relieved and felt her mood drastically improve.
She walked out of the hotel and saw a Maybach parked on the side of the road.
"Ms. Rowan." Donny opened the rear door and praised her, "I saw everything at the dinner party just now. You did an excellent job." "Thank you for the video."
Donny shook his head. "I only followed orders. If you want to thank someone you have to thank my boss."
'......" Clara's lips twitched.
At that time, she had really thought that Ethan had wanted to have a laugh at her expense, and for an instant then she had hated him. She did not expect that the man had secretly arranged for everything, just waiting for her take her revenge.
Everything he had arranged was so exciting......
Clara waited quietly in the car, occasionally picking up her phone to swipe through Twitter.
She already posted that video on the internet, but Steve was faster than her, and had contacted his public relations department to handle the video and related news, and thus the video hadn't spread widely. But it didn't matter. She had won by embarrassing Steve Lane and Ruby Leke with this video tonight.
"Sir."
Clara was looking at her phone, when she suddenly heard Donny's voice, and soon a figure got into the car.
The man's smell of smoke and alcohol encased Clara, making her unconsciously straighten her back and try to lean as far as possible to the door on the other side of the car.
Ethan seemed to be very tired. He sat down and closed his eyes.
The car drove smoothly, and there was silence in the backseat.
After seeing a 24/7 pharmacy open, she hesitated, and then asked Donny to stop. She went to the pharmacy and bought hangover medicine and a bottle of water.
Seeing that the man was still resting with his eyes closed, Clara whispered, "Mr. Preston, I bought you hangover medicine."
If it weren't for Ethan tonight, she wouldn't have had the confidence to teach Steve and Ruby a lesson in front of everyone.
She was grateful to him.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Clara thought her voice was too small and leaned over a little, "Mr. Preston......"
As soon as she leaned over, the car that was originally driving smoothly suddenly turned sharply, and she was caught off guard and fell on the man's chest. She felt his hot skin through her clothes. A few seconds later, she heard his playful and indifferent voice, "Do you like throwing yourself at me so much?"
Clara's face turned red as she scrambled back to her seat in a flustered manner.
On the other side of the separator, Donny apologized, "Sorry, Mr. Preston. I had to turn to give way to a car running a red light."
Hearing that, Clara's embarrassment eased a little.
She passed the hangover medicine to him: "Mr. Preston, you drank a lot of alcohol. If you sleep like this, you will have a headache tonight."
Ethan glanced at her and took the hangover pills.
Clara watched the man lift his head to drink water. The way his Adam's apple bobbed was sexy and sultry.
She looked away in a hurry. In order to break the tense atmosphere, she took the initiative to speak, "Mr. Preston, thank you for tonight."
"I only gave you a chance. It's your business on how you use it," Ethan said, and after a pause, “Before, you did well begging me to help you retake ARCTIC."
Clara's face turned red when she thought about the fact that she had offered herself to him that night.
Could it be that this man......
Ethan seemed to see through Clara's expression, and sneered, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your body."
Now it was Clara turn to stare blankly: "Then...... Mr. Preston, what do you want?"
She had nothing more to give him.
Ethan rubbed his fingertips against the water bottle, and spoke faintly, "My grandmother is old, I hope to get married and have children."
"I need you to marry me. After marriage, you will be Mrs. Preston. I will not stop you from doing anything outside. After marriage, I will return ARCTIC to you."
