Chapter 3: Sudden marriage proposal

Next morning.

Katherine rubbed her sore temples, yesterday she played so much and drank so much that she didn't think that she still had important things to do today.

She had promised her best friend Elwyn to buy her a gift of Acqua Di Gio perfume, it took a long time to get there from her place while this evening she had to return home.

Haizz

Alcohol indeed makes you lose your mind.

Katherine hurriedly got out of bed, opened her suitcase, picked out a set of clothes, and then quickly flew into the bathroom, waiting for her to come out almost an hour later.

The phone on the table vibrated, the incoming call was from an unknown number. Originally, Katherine didn't want to pick up the phone, but she slipped and pressed the button to listen.

“…”

"Hello." On the other end came a male voice.

Katherine took a deep breath and then slowly answered, "Hello?"

"May I ask if it's Miss Katherine?"

"It's me."

“Like this, Miss Katherine has an appointment with my boss today. I don't know when the exact appointment time is?" The other party spoke very politely, carefully asked her.

Have an appointment? Since when do you have an appointment?

"Miss Katherine?"

“Who is your boss? I don't have a date with anyone today, am I mistaken?"

“Miss, my boss conveys a message to you. Bibiane bar, beer money. Please text the time and location to this phone number. Please allow me to hang up.” Before Katherine could react, the other party disconnected the call.

Katherine bit her finger, her mind a little chaotic.

Bibiane bar? Beer money?

“…”

At this point, if Katherine can't remember, she's afraid she drank so much yesterday that her brain watered.

Katherine hastily arranged some miscellaneous things, then chose a famous old-fashioned coffee shop and immediately texted the address and time to the phone number earlier.

When Katherine arrived, still 15 minutes from the scheduled time, she found a table by the window and sat down to wait for the other party.

"Miss, what would you like to use?"

“Ah, give me a glass of Au Lait.”

"Please wait a moment, Your coffe will be available soon."

"Thank." Katherine smiled and nodded slightly.

At the appointed time, a figure appeared outside the coffee shop. The man in a black suit stepped out of the car, his silver hair fluttering in the wind. That person wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that make his aura both polite and forbidden.

Passers-by, whether locals or tourists, couldn't help but stop and glance at the man in front of them, some excitedly wanted to get acquainted but were stopped by the bodyguards and could only stare at him. He enter the cafe under the escort of bodyguards.

Laure arrived at the door and saw the silhouette of the girl he thought of, her hair reaching to her waist like ink, her whole body exuding a gentle aura completely different from the seductive, enchanting appearance at the bar last night.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Katherine." Laure say hello.

Katherine heard someone call her name and leaned over, only to see a man with silver hair and gold-rimmed glasses slowly sitting down in front of her.

If a normal person had such platinum hair, it would be offensive, but not for him, it still feels like he was born to be like that. Like the poppy flower, knowing well that it is poisonous, but still can't help but come close.

"Yeah, you're late, 1 minute." Katherine retracted her gaze that was assessing the man in front of her and spoke softly.

Laure: “…”

“I drank a bit too much yesterday, if there is anything offensive, please forgive me. This is the amount you paid me yesterday, I still have work to do, so I should ask permission to go first." Katherine bowed slightly and then turned to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Katherine's footsteps stopped, and she looked at Laure suspiciously.

"You seem to be in a hurry, so as not to waste your time I'll go straight to the point." Laure stood up and approached her: “Miss Katherine, I feel that you and I are very compatible, so do you agree to marry me?”

Fuck.

Katherine almost blurted out after hearing that, where did this psychopath come from?

"I decline." Before the words were finished, Katherine's arm was caught by him, on her own defensive reflex, Katherine immediately leaned over and grabbed Laure's hand, With the other hand, she holds him rotate a line.

"Choang".

The glass of water next to the table fell because of the sudden action of two people, the noise attracted the attention of staff and people around. Even Laure's bodyguards were stunned by this sudden action of hers, just staring at their boss on the floor.

Laure: “…”

Bodyguard: "..." Miss Katherine is scary, nothing has "knocked out" the boss yet.

Hygiene rushed to help Laure up from the floor, by the way also prevented Katherine from leaving. The staff initially wanted to go over to look at the situation, but seeing that they were surrounded by bodyguards, they were a little scared and didn't dare to go forward.

"Miss Katherine, you should see this first." Someone approached and handed her a bag of documents, Katherine hesitated a bit but eventually accepted the file and opened it.

Seeing the contents of the document, Katherine's beautiful hand tightened slightly.

He investigated her.

But not investigating her identity, but investigating what she wants to do.

Katherine took a deep breath, reminded herself to calm down, then went back to sit across from Laure.

“You want to use this to threaten me?”

Katherine threw the file on the table and calmly looked him in the eye.

The man stared into her eyes, his eyes seemed to reflect the whole world, he calmly met her gaze and then narrowed his eyes with a smirk, an appearance like a wolf wagging its tail , that appearance was so provocative that it almost caused Katherine to lose control and rush over.

"Not a threat, but an invitation." Laure paused for a moment: "As long as you marry me, I can give you anything, even revenge."

When Laure finished speaking, she pulled out a business card and pushed it towards Katherine.
