Chapter 105

Chapter 105 I Am Here to Propose You

"Mr. CEO!" Joey prepared for the worst, took a deep breath and then got in the CEO office.

Harry was still upset about what happened yesterday when Joey showed up with a giggle. Poor Joey naturally became Harry's punching bag as before.

"What's funny? Share with me."

"Eh... Boss, are you sure you wanna hear it?" Feeling awkward, Joey coughed and thought. Then he reported obediently, "I am not happy. On the contrary, I feel sad. It is said that General Manager went back to her office with tears yesterday. Everyone in the office were cursing the jerk that let their Goddess down!" Joey lowered his voice when he mumbled the word "jerk", but Harry still got it.

Speaking of what happened yesterday, Harry pulled a long face immediately. "You got time to stroll to the Design Department. How idle you are! How about that you treat all staff to coffee this noon in the name of the company. No refund!"

The last two words devastated Joey. No refund! SL Group had more than one thousand employees in A Country. That was to say, he had to pay over ten thousands dollars.

"Boss?..." Joey wanted to beg for mercy. But he dared not. Because from what he knew of his Boss, begging would only incur severer punishment. So he just curled his lower lip and then went out for coffee.

Seeing Joey walking out of the office, Harry stood up from his executive chair restlessly, haunted by Lola's sad expression yesterday.

In the kindergarten.

Lola and Joseph were holding Nicole's hands and running with her. "Come on, Nicole!" Nicole got a lot of little fans, who were cheering for her.

Suddenly, Joseph scooped Nicole up and then raced to the end, put their rag doll into the box there.

The game rule was: Kids and parents make a rag doll together and then put it into the box at the end. The fastest one will be the winner.

The moment Nicole put their rag doll into the box, she burst into a scream jubilantly, "Yeah! We are the first!"

Kids were envious of Nicole to have such a beautiful mom and a handsome uncle. When Joseph showed up at first, many parents recognized him. Young mothers surged towards him excitedly.

They kept following Joseph around until a teacher came out to maintain order. Looking at sparks of worship in their wives' eyes, fathers were jealous of Joseph. But they had no other way, as they knew they can't beat that handsome super star.

"Nicole, where is your daddy? Why is it that your uncle come today?" A kid asked Nicole, who was holding the prize excitedly, in a tender voice.

"Because my daddy goes abroad. He earned a lot of money there for me and mommy." Nicole replied naively. Hearing Nicole's childish voice, Lola almost cried.

"Nicole, your daddy just said he won't live with mommy yesterday. He even takes mommy for an evil woman." Lola thought sadly.

From then on, Lola swore she would try her best to prevent Harry and Nicole from meeting each other. She also started planning to find Nicole a daddy, who would embrace her and treat her well.

The school was over earlier than before that day so Lola and Joseph took Nicole to an amusement park for fun before they went home.

In D City.

Wendy was going home on Lola's motorcycle. When she approached the shabby building she lived in, she saw many of her neighbors gathering around a fancy car and discussing with each other.

Seeing Wendy, many of them scooted to her, "Wendy, who is that man?"

"Wendy, is that your relative or your boyfriend?"

Wendy was totally confused. A man? Who?

She finally broke through those curious neighbors and went upstairs. She was dumbstruck the moment she opened the door and saw the man, who was in a military uniform and sitting on the sofa.

"Wendy, we have been waiting for you for a long time!" Wendy's mother, Janne Zhang, pulled the stupefied Wendy in at once. Then she shifted her sight back to the man on sofa excitedly. She was quite satisfied with that son-in-law-to-be!

"Mom..." Wendy could finally utter something. It had been four years since they saw each other last time. She had no idea what was Jordan doing at her home.

"Wendy, why don't you tell me you already have a boyfriend? I shouldn't bother to make the blind date for you, " Janne complained with a smile on her face. Wendy's father passed away when she was very young. It had been extremely tough for her mother to raise her and her brother alone for years. Thus, seeing her son-in-law-to-be was such a perfect man, Janne Zhang was overjoyed.

"Boyfriend?" Wendy thought in confusion. Then she noticed there were some fancy gifts on the table. "What on earth is this man doing here?" Wendy's confusion doubled.

"Mom, I'll talk to you later!" Wendy pushed her mother out of home and locked the door. No matter how hard Janne Zhang knocked on the door, Wendy turned a deaf ear to it.

"What are you doing here?" Wendy asked. Jordan's showing up reminded Wendy of that night four years ago.

Jordan stood up and approached her. He found she was quite petite for the first time.

"I am here to propose you." He came straight to the point.

Hearing Jordan's answer, Wendy smiled in disbelief. Then she opened her mouth slightly trying to say somthing, but no sound uttered. She was at a loss.

"Propose me? Are you worried no man is willing to marry with me because I am not a virgin?" Her straightforwardness made him frown. "It seems she doesn't care about my proposal at all." He thought.

"Lola asked me to do so. She wants you to be her sister-in-law, " Jordan said. His words disappointed Wendy.

"Does he mean proposing me is what Lola wants and he is doing this just for Lola?" She thought.

"You are Lola's elder brother?" Wendy asked. She was just trying to change the subject. Lola had already told her about her new family two years ago.

"Yes, I am." Jordan nodded.

Then Wendy picked those gifts on the table up and shoved them all into Jordan's hands, "You can leave now. I don't want to be Lola's sister-in-law. Being her best friend is just fine!"

Jordan felt embarrassed. He had never been refused by women. Not to mention that she refused his proposal.

"Come on, Wendy. I know you need money now. There is something wrong with your mother's legs, so she can't work. But your brother needs tuition. Are you sure you are going to refuse me?" Jordan was trying to persuade Wendy. "If you marry me. I can send your brother to a top university and find the best doctor for your mom." He added.

... Jordan seemed to know every difficulty of her family. Hearing Jordan's words, Wendy was so angry that she almost wanted to slap him, "Did Lola tell you all these?"

"No. She just told me you are a good woman. I shouldn't fail you." Jordan looked sincere. His honesty amused Wendy. She knew Lola did that out of good intention.

Wendy walked to a stool and sat down, resting her forehead on her hand. She didn't know what to say and opened her mouth after a long while. "Don't worry. I am good now. Please leave and don't forget to express my thanks to Lola!"

It seemed Wendy wasn't bought by what Jordan just said. Jordan felt a little frustrated. He walked closer to Wendy, bent his head and gazed at her.
