The proposal

Twenty minutes later,the door bell rung indicating a person was on the doorway. Walking to the door,she opened and was welcomed by the sight of the cleaning staff,ready with their cleaning tools.

" Good afternoon ma'am,we were informed that you needed cleaning services." The older man who appeared to be in his mid forties said.

" Oh yes good afternoon uncle,I am in need of your services for sure, come on in." Mira opened the door wider to let them proceed inside.

There was a total of three people,two men and a Lady.

" This is Maya, she's responsible for cleaning the bedroom, Matt here will be checking for any broken thing to fix while I am James and I'll be taking care of cleaning the kitchen, dining and the backyard." The older uncle who Mira identified as James introduced himself and the staff.

" Okay uncle James,I'll leave you to do your thing. Ensure the door is properly closed before you leave,I'll wire your payment to the company's account and will tip you if you do a good job." Mira said and took her clutch to leave the house.

It was about time for their lunch date with Caleb and she needed to be there on time. it was better to get things done over with.

On her way to the hotel,she made a private call and tipped some reporters about the surprise proposal from the heir of PK holdings. Although the company wasn't developed,the Hudgens family could be considered a second tier family in the society.

She soon arrived at the hotel. The paradise hotel. This was the hotel he proposed at in her past life and the same hotel she woke up besides Timothy on her wedding day.

She could still remember the embarrassment they out her through after plotting on her. How the media was allover the place harassing her and hauling all sorts of nasty names to her.

Today, she'll use the same Media to make him a laughing joke. That was a sworn promise.

Arriving at the hotel,she was led to their reserved table. A table? Not even a Private room or even the terrace? Who proposes at a random hotel table,no flowers,no romantic music? Nothing at all! This just shows how insincere his proposal was! How could the past her not take note of such important details.

" What would you like to have?" The waiter politely asked .

" Get me a bottle of the most expensive wine."Mira replied back smiling.

Wasn't that Caleb planning on not spending much for his" grand proposal ", then she'll make his pockets bleed before mercilessly rejecting him. She'll compensate every penny she used in the past for him.

" Right away ma'am." The waiter gave a bow and walked away to fetch his customer's request.

Just after the waiter returned and served Mira her drink, Caleb cleared his throat to indicate his presence.

" You are here!" Mira said to acknowledge his presence while sipping her wine. Caleb watched as the one million dollar drink moved softly from the mouth and disappeared to Mira's stomach. He could feel his heart constrict knowing how much he'll have to pay for that, afterall the table was reserved under his name.

" Since am here,we can order. I am starving." He said to distract himself from the pain of loosing so much money for this damned proposal. If it wasn't for his parents are inlaws forcing him to propose to her, this was the last place he'll be. Not to mention wasting his money on this piece of trash.

Mira watched his face turn sour which he tried to mask by smiling but was failing miserably. She snorted inwardly. Wasn't he good at spending her money in her past? Why was he so angered by parting with a single million dollar.

" Sure,go ahead and order." Mira said masking her disgust.

Caleb ordered afew dishes,all his favourites. Looking at the list of dishes, Mira chuckled inwardly. Yes,those had come to be her favourites too. She had tried as hard as possible to adjust to Caleb's lifestyle. She had mastered all his favourites and made them her favourites too. For example, Mira liked her steak soft and medium cooked but because Carlos preferred it fully cooked and spiced,she had also started ordering it his style just to accommodate him. Even after doing all that for him,he didn't bat an eyelid to set her up,rob her all her wealth and watch smilingly as Lucia kicked her off the cliff after shooting her heart.

" Waiter,can I have a plate of sweet and sour pork chops and Swahili biriyani please." Mira placed her order much to Caleb's changraine .

" Mira,I have already ordered for us." Caleb tried to remind her.

" Have you forgotten I don't take spaghetti nor do I love my dishes spicy?" Mira replied with another question.

" But you said you'll adjust everything for my sake." Caleb shamelessly said.

" Oh I did? But I don't want to do that today!" Mira asked surprised but still did not back down.

The waiter who was standing aside waiting for the couple to iron their issues scurried away to get their orders after Mira instructed him to leave.

Caleb was fuming mad but he consoled himself that once they were engaged, he'll milk her dry to compensate himself for spending money on her today. But how could Mira not understand what he was thinking about?

' Ha! Dream on!" She inwardly thought.

After waiting for a few minutes,the food finally arrived. Mira was hungry so when gve food arrived safe started to dig in. This was her favourite food afterall and Timothy would order it for her whenever they went out. Thinking about Timothy,Mira smiled. After her rebirth,Tim became the most important and treasured person apart from her mother.

Looking at Mira smile amidst eating, Caleb wondered what it is could make her smile.

After they were done eating, or should I say after Mira finished eating,she excused herself to go to the ladies room. It is at that moment Caleb saw her change of style. He thought she was clad in her custumes after he saw the oversized shirt she was wearing above. Who could have thought that she wore it alone as a dress shirt, not paired with her usual baggy jeans.

Looking at her, Caleb had to admit that she looked beautiful today. Her face was bare as always but it had that mysterious glow today.

Mira was blessed with a beautiful face, she was an exact replica of her mother who was considered the most beautiful lady in city T. She was of medium height and her body was perfect at the right places. A broad chest,an extremely slim waist and a fully developed hips. She was everything a man looked for in a woman. But she had adopted wearing costumes that made her look more of a clown, hiding her body shape in those baggy clothes Lucia insisted she wear to attract Caleb.

Caleb took the chance to prepare his proposal before she came back From the washroom. He would go on one knee and ask for her hand.

When he saw her approach their table, Caleb got up and knelt down like a gentleman. The people around him gasped in surprise while Mira fought the urge to roll her eyes at his cheap gesture.

She walked and stood Infront of Caleb wearing an emotionless face.

" Mira." Caleb started. " I know that I haven't been the best to you but I want you to know that I have slowly come to love you so much. I used to ignore you in the past but that's before I realized that I was deeply Inlove with you,will you give me a chance to prove myself to you by accepting me as your boyfriend and fiance. I want to spend the rest of my life making it up to you." Caleb said earning claps from the sorrounding audience.
