Chapter 107 Failed proposal part 2
He can't do that! I don't want to lose our friendship.
"Let's continue to eat and I will tell you later." He said.
That's good thing then. I'm still have time to breath!
We continued to eat our delicious steak and drink the tasteful wine. I can't believe that I could finish all of my food in one go!
The two are a perfect combination. I can say that our Hotels and Restaurants got the best food of all time!
And I'm proud with it.
Hopefully that my parents are happy right now. Even though that we are not the owner of this Hotel anymore. I just wish that they are still happy that the Hotel survived from being bankrupt.
Thinking about this. Uncle Alberto and Nica's face suddenly pop out in my mind.
I decided to closed the case in the end. I decided to forgive her and hopefully she will not bother me again and will start a new life with a clean mind and heart.
I didn't notice that the waiter put our dessert in the table. I was drown, thinking the past.
I can smell the sweet aroma of the strawberry cake.
It looks yummy and delicious. This is one of my favorites too.
But what's bothered me is the thing that is shining brightly in the middle of the cake. It's a diamond ring!
I'm speechless and don't know what to do!
Why?
The music was change into a romantic love song. And I look at Greg with a questioning look.
He only smile at me.
"I know that you are shock and surprise. But lately, I've been restless thinking about you. I can't get you out of my mind. I don't want you to cry anymore Nalzen. I want to take care of you for the rest of my life. I want to protect you from harm and danger. I want to be with you but not as a friend anymore. Lately, I realized that I can't be your friend! I want to express this feeling of mind before I become crazy from holding it in. I don't want to hide my feelings anymore! Ms. Nalzen Villarreal, can you be my girlfriend?" Greg kneel down in front of me holding the ring from the strawberry cake.
What is this? I don't want to ruin our friendship.
It's now or never! I need to hurt him, He already knew that I will love Aaron in this lifetime. And we are still married!
Why did he continue to court?
I think I will be losing another friend again!
Say yes! Say yes!
The people around are cheering us as well as the waiter and the crews.
It will be humiliating if I will decline his offer. But I didn't love him at all!
I'm sorry Greg...
"Greg, I'm sorry. I'm here because I suppose to talk to you. I will be leaving your condo." I answered seriously.
The crowd keeps quite and I can hear Greg's heavy breathing.
"Look, I don't know that this will become the outcome. I'm sorry Greg, I thought that you have a good news but I don't know that you will propose. If I knew, I will not come with you in here. I'm sorr-" I didn't able to continue what I'm saying because Greg stand up and cut me off.
"It's okay! You don't have to explain. I already knew that you don't love me but I'm going crazy if I will not release this feeling of mine. I love you Nalzen Villarreal!" He shouted.
Greg looks sincere and true to his feelings. But what can I do? My heart only belongs to Aaron!
Maybe if it's another girl sitting in front of him will surely say yes and accepted his proposal but not me!
Aaron is my life and home. I will be nothing without him.
I will die without him!
"Awe!" The crowd said in frustrations. I guess, they only think if what I'am looking for a man?
Greg is almost perfect for their eyes. He's handsome and rich, yes!
But my heart only belongs to Aaron.
"I'm sorry Greg. Aaron and I reconciled and I'm coming back home." I said without smiling.
"What?" He asked surprise and a little bit angry.
"You heard it right. I came to pack my things and bid my goodbye to you personally. You are my best friend Greg, I don't want to lose this friendship!" I said sincerely.
But he gets angry out of a sudden!
"Why him? It's always him! He hurts you a thousand times but you still love him?" He asked angrily.
I look at the crowd and all of them are looking at us now.
Just what the!
Can they mind their own business, for goodness sake!
"I think we should go back at your condo Greg and continue to talk in there." I suggested seriously.
I don't want the whole world to listen at our conversation!
"No, I want to talk to you right now! Why? Just leave him!" He shouted.
How could I leave him if we just reconciled?
I love him so much and I cannot leave Aaron.
That will never happen again!
"It's just simple Greg, I love him. And we are still married! I will never leave him again." I answered. I don't care those people at all!
They can listen all they want.
"Then, you're an idiot! He hurt you and you still love him!" Greg said angrily.
And my blood boils when he call me idiot!
But before I could answer, Aaron suddenly pop out from nowhere and punch Greg straight in his face!
"You are the idiot! Stop pestering my wife!" Aaron shouted angrily.
And pulled me away while the people is still murmuring with each other.
"What are you whispering! Get out! All of you! And asked for your repayment. I will gladly compensate and return your deposits!" Aaron angrily shouted.
I hold his hand and hug him.
"Stop it hubby. I'm happy to know that you take good care of our Hotel. Thank you for that!" I said to calm him.
But he is still angry! He let go of my embrace and face all the staff, crew and waiters.
"Where is your manager? Call him, now!" He said angrily.
Greg is just sitting at our table looking at me intensely. I guess he got drunk from drinking too much wine. He keeps on drinking. I guess, just to give him courage in proposing to me.
The manager went out and was very shock seeing Aaron's angry face.
"M-Mr. M-Montgomery! It's a pleasure to have you here." He said stuttering.
"Pleasure my foot! Don't you remember my wife's face? Next time, teach your staff properly. This is a warning! Or all of you will be resigning soon." He threaten them.
"I'm sorry sir, It will never happen again." He bow down his head and signal his hand and all the staffs and crews bow down as well.
Then he pulled me again and we leave the place without talking...
