Evie Larkin shook off her hands, turned around, and left, while Wendy angrily threw the cup onto the table, her face full of rage.
The gorgeously dressed female employees each had their own thoughts, and none of them were in the mood anymore.
Benjamin Quinlan was so shocked that he couldn’t speak for a long while.
His colleague muttered discontentedly, "This year’s annual party’s main dish is dog food.
I swallowed this dog food, and I must admit it was truly satisfying.
You were right, I really can’t compare to this big shot.
Your sister here has really good taste, what a lucky lady."
Benjamin Quinlan smiled wryly, indeed Jane Quinlan was quite fortunate.
Fortunately, she broke up with Xavier; if she was still with Xavier, she’d never get such a romantic proposal in her lifetime.
And speaking of which, Director Forrest really is a real man.
I heard so much gossip about him back at the company.
He had felt that Director Forrest and his little sister definitely wouldn’t make it.
Just a rich young master used to exotic tastes who occasionally wants to try some ordinary home cooking.
But now that they have come this far, he realized he had really underestimated them.
Looks like there’s good news coming soon for the Quinlan family.
Kay Forrest carried Jane Quinlan all the way out of the hall.
When she heard that there wasn’t much noise around, she peeked out with one eye, saw no one else around, and patted his shoulder, "Okay, okay, put me down, I can walk by myself."
"That won’t do, since I’ve picked you up, I have to be responsible all the way."
He didn’t carry her home, but went straight upstairs instead.
Jane Quinlan was puzzled, "Aren’t we going home?"
"Going home? No way, we are official now, we need to celebrate."
"Celebrate? At a hotel? Aren’t you afraid of being seen?"
"So what if anyone sees, it will be as they say, after all, everything is out in the open.
Me and my fiancée having a physical collision in a hotel, let’s see who dares to meddle."
Jane Quinlan was speechless, his roguish demeanor was clearly a stark contrast from the focused and passionate way he had confessed to her on stage just moments ago.
He carried her all the way to the door of the room before setting her down, and Kay Forrest said, "Close your eyes."
Jane Quinlan looked at him, "Another surprise?"
"That’s why I’m telling you to close your eyes."
Jane Quinlan smiled wryly and closed her eyes; she was actually quite excited.
Would it be a bed covered with flowers or a romantic cottage full of balloons and candles?
Kay Forrest opened the door, took her hand, and walked into the suite.
The room was very large, and he led her for quite a while before entering the bedroom.
"Alright, you can open your eyes now."
Jane Quinlan opened her eyes, looked around at all the surprises filling the room, and couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hand to express her overwhelming joy.
There weren’t idle talks on a bed or candles and balloons, just a room full of her photos.
One after another, there were even some from her childhood...
"When did you prepare all these?"
"Yesterday afternoon."
"Didn’t you have to work overtime?" she asked, amazed, looking at him.
"I did work overtime, but there was only a little something to deal with.
After handling it, I came right here. Do you like it?"
Jane Quinlan nodded vigorously, "Where did you get these photos from my childhood?"
"Your home. A few days ago, I asked mom to send them to me."
Jane Quinlan looked at him with moved eyes, "I haven’t been able to do anything for you, but I keep receiving your kindness.
Actually, after what you said to me on stage today, I had a thousand words to give back to you.
But for some reason, I just couldn’t say a single word.
Forrest, knowing you has really been the greatest happiness of my life."
She said this as she held his hand, "You’ve truly given me an unforgettable day.
I will never forget today for the rest of my life."
Kay Forrest lifted his hand to tap her little head.
"Enough, don’t I know you? I know your personality, understand your temperament.
I get you, so you don’t need to say those words; I understand you.
Since you couldn’t say anything, let’s not use words, but actions.
It’s time I give you a chance to repay me.
Go on, there’s another surprise. Open that cupboard."
"Another one?" Jane Quinlan felt Kay Forrest was truly a romance machine.
Being with him, life really couldn’t be any happier.
She walked over to the cupboard and opened its door.
At that moment, her face looked embarrassed: "Um... Excuse me, young master, what is this?"
Jane Quinlan looked at him confidently; she had never seen such a short nurse’s uniform before.
He must be joking with her.
"Is this a gift for me?"
"NO, it’s so that after you put it on, you become my gift."
He said as he walked up, picked up the nurse uniform, and handed it to her: "Today let’s try something different.
This is called role-playing.
Go, take a shower, I’ll wash up in another room, and we’ll meet in a bit."
Kay Forrest said this and kissed her on the forehead.
Jane Quinlan rolled her eyes; do men like to flirt ?
She smiled, hugged the clothes, and walked into the bathroom, wondering why not play along.
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, Jane Quinlan suddenly felt unable to come out.
Mostly because the clothes, meant to cover, covered nothing at all, and were even shorter than her safety shorts... Could she express her embarrassment about stepping out?
Kay Forrest came out after his shower and knocked on the door: "Baby, aren’t you ready yet?"
Jane Quinlan shyly pulled the door open a crack: "I mean... Mr. Forrest, I’m afraid to come out."
"I’m afraid you’ll laugh at me."
Kay Forrest pushed open the door, and Jane Quinlan stepped back, covering her front with her hands.
He had already caught a glimpse, indeed a marvelous view spilling out.
Truly a versatile figure.
"It’s a good thing I don’t wear these clothes on the street, otherwise I’d die of embarrassment."
He smirked mischievously, "If you dare wear these clothes on the street, I’ll definitely gouge out the eyes of the men who stare at you."
He said this as he pulled her out of the bathroom and onto the bed, commencing their feast.
Whether it was because of the clothes or not, today Kay Forrest was completely unstoppable.
Jane Quinlan was no pushover either; both full of enthusiasm, they lost count of the rounds they went for throughout the night.
Until Jane Quinlan was truly exhausted, unable to move, Kay Forrest finally let her rest.
He held her in his embrace, preventing her from rolling off the bed while she slept.
As dawn broke, Jane Quinlan awoke mysteriously.
Perhaps because it wasn’t her home that she awoke, as she turned over and saw Kay Forrest beside her, the corners of her lips curled slightly. With him around, anywhere could be home.
The next day, when the alarm rang, Jane Quinlan still felt languid.
She really couldn’t get up; yesterday’s excitement had taken a toll on her.
Kay Forrest rolled over, opened his eyes, saw her switch off the alarm clock, then looked at her with a dazed smile: "What’s wrong?"
If she said she didn’t want to go to work, he would definitely indulge her.
"Just thinking about what to wear to the office today, I suppose going home to change and coming back would make me late, right?"
Kay Forrest rubbed her head: "You always worry about trivial things."
He said as he got out of bed to make a phone call, arranging for a clothing store to deliver two sets of clothes.
Jane Quinlan wrapped in a bathrobe, went to freshen up, walked into the washroom, and saw the gift she had hung on the hook.
She frowned, holding the remains of the dress: "If you tell that major designer about what I’ve done to his design, would he cry?"
"No, he would probably laugh because his design showed different flavors on the same person, conservative and enticing."
Jane Quinlan burst into laughter, her Forrest really knew how to compliment people.
She decided not to ask how much the dress cost, because it would pain her to know.
But she carefully folded the dress.
She would not forget that she was wearing this dress when he proposed to her.
She wanted to keep it safe, even though it wouldn’t be useful anymore, she treasured it dearly.
After the clothes arrived, they changed and prepared to go for breakfast.
Just before leaving, Kay Forrest held her shoulders: "Hold on, dear."
Jane Quinlan pursed her lips and looked at him: "What is it?"
"Starting today, there will definitely be a lot of gossip about you.
Remember, don’t listen to what you don’t want to hear, don’t believe what you don’t wish to believe.
You just need to trust me and believe in yourself.
We truly love each other; nothing can stop us."
Jane Quinlan looked at him and nodded determinedly.
Yes, since choosing to go public with their relationship, agreeing to marry him.
In the future, those envious women would certainly be numerous.
In the coming days, she might become the public enemy of the entire Skyward Group.
Just thinking about it was terrifying, but as long as Kay Forrest supported her, she wasn’t afraid of anything.
