Marcus frowned when Annie failed to respond.
“You don’t want to marry me? Is it because you think a lowly employee like me isn’t worthy of marrying you? Is this
what you mean when you say you’re serious about me?”
Annie quickly shook her head. “No, no, no. It’s just that… This is too sudden for me. I was too shocked by your
proposal.”
Marcus suddenly put down his utensils and grabbed Annie’s hands. “Annie, I really, really like you. That’s why I get
jealous whenever I see you being close to another man. Trust me, I’ll work hard in the future to give you a good life.

Annie remained shocked. She could not put a finger on her emotions at that moment. Her heart did not race nor
did she feel butterflies in her stomach. She did not even feel overwhelmed with joy in the slightest!
It was very complicated, to say the least.
At that moment, Marcus’ colleagues—who sat at the table next to them—overheard his proposal and shouted,
“Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!”
The other staff looked at them with interest before breaking out in the same chorus, “Marry him! Marry him! Marry
him!”
Marcus laughed, happy that his colleagues were giving their support. He then got down on one knee and looked
deeply into Annie’s eyes.
“Annie, will you give me the honor of marrying you with the blessings of our colleagues?”
Annie turned bright red. “I…”
A graceful man’s voice suddenly cut through the noise at that moment. “What’s all this commotion?”
Everyone instantly quietened down and went back to eating after they recognized the voice to be Aaron’s.
A staff member known for being a busybody stood up and explained, “Mister Aaron, Marcus is proposing to his
girlfriend, so we’re just trying to show our support.”
“Oh. A proposal, huh?” Aaron walked toward Marcus’ and Annie’s table with a smile. However, the look he gave
them let them know what he was exactly thinking about.

mind me proposing to my girlfriend.”
Aaron smiled and said teasingly, “And what would you do if I said I do mind?”
Marcus frowned with caution. “I don’t understand why you’d mind.”
Aaron looked down at him condescendingly. “I mind because you’re bringing shame to every man on earth!”
Marcus was stunned. “Uhh… That doesn’t make any sense at all! What’s so shameful about proposing to my
girlfriend?”
