Question or Proposal

“That’s…” I whispered as I tried to digest his words.

“If he marries you, it won’t be because he was forced into it. No one can force him into anything. If it was at all possible, the boss would have more than ten grandchildren to play around with by now without a doubt…” Harvey explained before he started laughing at his own half-serious joke.

No one can force Hayden. I have never thought about things this way before, but somehow, I started to understand where Harvey was coming from. Perhaps he was right, if the boss could really force Hayden, then he wouldn’t need to act so desperately.

“So, when are you going to propose to Hayden?” Harvey asked and I couldn’t tell if he was being serious or not.

“I am NOT going to propose to him!” I cried out a little too loudly.

My reactions drew another found of laughter from Harvey. At first, I was slightly annoyed that he didn’t seem to be taking me seriously but soon enough, I started giggling along with him.

“Thank you…” I murmured.
