SWNOVELS Chapter 422
Chapter 422 Proposing
Anaya was curious about what Hearst had said to Carlee. When she got in the car with him, she asked, "What did you say to my mother just now? Why did she suddenly agree?"
He laughed, "I said I need you tonight."
Anaya pinched his waist. "Be serious."
Hearst grabbed her hand and wrapped it tightly with his fingers. "I said I bought the building beside your company. The top floor has been decorated as a house. It is close to the company. It is convenient for you to get to work."
"Does she believe it?" Anaya asked doubtfully.
He played around with her slender fingers and said in a faint voice, "Why not? I already got the property ownership certificate yesterday. After we change the furniture in the room today, we can live there tomorrow."
Anaya was speechless.
She knew before that this person had a habit of spending money randomly. Recently, it seemed to be getting more and more serious.
"The location of that building is not bad, and there will be a lot of room for growth. The owner is selling it to you just like that?"
"Yes, that is Martin's property. I'm using connections."
Anaya didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Are you using relationships? It's more like robbery."
Hearst answered her with a smile.
When they arrived at the company, he watched her walk into the door and then left.
Anaya returned to the company, and there was a pile of documents on the table.
When she noticed the new project proposal of the planning department on the top, she suddenly remembered Reina and sent her a message.
Anaya: "Ms. Harward, have you found a job?"
A few seconds later, the message was sent over.
Reina: "Yes! It's my first working day today. Thank you for caring about me."
Anaya: "It's good! Break a leg!"
Reina: "I will!"
Two days later, Anaya received a message from Hearst. Hearst asked her to have dinner at a restaurant tonight.
It was a famous restaurant for couples in Boston, and it also contracted birthday celebrations, proposals, and other projects.
Last night, Hearst said that he wanted to propose, and what he wanted to do tonight was already very clear.
He really didn't know how to prepare a surprise for girls. He was not romantic. He proposed so easily.
Although she disliked it, after work, Anaya still went home to change her clothes. She put on delicate makeup and sat in the car that Hearst had sent to pick her up. After arriving at the destination, the waiter led her in.
The restaurant that Hearst had booked was by the river. The seat was by the window, and the view was beautiful. The scenery of the river and the
night view of the other half of the bustling and bright city across the street could be seen.
Anaya walked over and sat opposite him.
He took out the menu and gave it to her. "What do you want to eat?"
His expression was normal. There was no sign of a proposal.
Anaya thought that he was deliberately pretending to be calm, so she did not expose him and ordered the food.
The waiter put away the menu and walked away. Anaya and Hearst talked about work for a while.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a thousand-layer cake being pushed toward her. Anaya was staring at the cake.
Based on her many years of drama-watching experience, the proposal ring
would most likely be hidden in the cake.
What an old-fashioned way of proposing!
She complained in her heart, but the expression on her face became more and more cheerful. She quietly stared at the waiter pushing the cart and walking towards her. Hearst noticed that she was staring intently at the cake that was coming toward them. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile, carrying a slight
hint of ridicule.
Not long after, the dining cart was pushed to Anaya's table.
Then, the waiter passed by this table and stopped at the table behind her.
Anaya looked back blankly and glanced at the young couple behind her.
When the woman saw the cake, she could not hide the excitement on her face. "Dear, you actually prepared a cake for me! I'm so happy!"
"We celebrate your birthday once a year. Of course, I have to pay attention
to it. I also prepared a lovely gift for you."
Anaya listened to the sweet conversation between the two and suddenly
felt uneasy. She immediately retracted her gaze.
She turned around and saw Hearst's smiling eyes.
He asked in a low and hoarse voice, "Want to eat cake?"
Anaya felt that he knew that she had misunderstood something. He
deliberately said this to tease her.
He was really bad.
She glared at him and lowered her head to drink some water.
Hearst chuckled and stopped teasing her.
The food was served, and a violinist walked over, asking Hearst to order a
song.
Hearst ordered a song, and the violinist began playing.
The music was long and mellow. Anaya had learned music before and
heard this song before.
If she remembered correctly, this song was a blessing song made by a
musician at the scene of a friend's wedding. After going back, it was slightly perfected and became one of the famous songs.
With the exquisite dinner and the ambiguous music atmosphere, everything
was perfect.
No matter which time Hearst took out his ring to propose, it was natural. Anaya guessed when he would start to propose, but she got nothing.
Until the violinist left and the two finished eating, Hearst still did not
propose.
Coming out of the restaurant, Anaya finally could not help but ask, "Why did
you suddenly ask me out for dinner tonight?"
Hearst looked at her strangely. "It's just dinner together. Do you need a
reason?"
Anaya was speechless.
Hearst leaned close to her. His slender and powerful arm gently wrapped
around her waist. The masculine scent instantly enveloped her.
"What do you think I want to do tonight? Why did you dress up so
beautifully?"
Anaya pushed him away angrily and said, "You don't know? Are you playing
with me?"
The smile on his lips didn't disappear. He said, "Yes, it's funny."
Anaya glared at him, threw him down, and walked forward.
After leaving the building, she went to the open-air parking lot on her own.
She did not want to wait for a man who was bad.
The parking lot was designed to surround the central building. Their car
was parked on the right side of the main door.
She walked down the steps and suddenly found a small candy lying on the
ground.
She did not have the habit of picking up things on the road, but now her eyes involuntarily gathered on that small candy.
This was the kind of candy that Hearst often brought back from Australia. It
was not sold here.
Several boxes were lying on the ground. The boxes scattered all the way to
the corner as if to lure people over. Anaya's anger disappeared in an instant. Her heart suddenly beat a little
faster. She followed these things that were scattered on the ground to the
corner.
She thought that there would be something waiting for her after the corner, but when she walked over, she found that there was nothing behind. Even the boxes scattered on the ground had disappeared here as if those
things were all accidentally dropped by the owner.
She felt that she had been played again.
Hearst came up from behind her and asked, "Why did you suddenly stop?"
Anaya turned around and kicked him lightly. "Jared, what are you doing?
You feel bored, so you want to make a scene?"
Bang!
Before she could finish her words, the sound of fireworks exploding suddenly came from behind her. Colorful small pieces drifted over from behind and fell on her body as if it was snowing.
