Get you in my arms

Chapter 16 Proposing

"Honey, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have watched Ella slap you. I was panicked. I'm afraid that everything before is in vain. I'm afraid that it will not save the X Group and make you live a poor life with me. I'm sorry."

"Shut up, John. It's my fault. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. You are under too much pressure now. I should understand you." She cried again.

"Are you angry now?"

She shook her head desperately.

"Don't leave me, okay?"

She nodded hard.

John smiled and stood up from the ground one by one.

The audience burst into an uproar, but the driver breathed a sigh of relief.

"John, you..." Sophia was still in a daze. I'm fine. It was just a little bit. Fortunately, he stopped quickly. " He breathed a sigh of relief.

The ambulance had come as fast as they could. Worried about John, Sophia and her colleagues helped him into the ambulance. She wasn't relieved until the doctors told her that everything was fine.

"John, did you just lie there pretending to scare me? Are you crazy? " When she was about to get even with him, she was scared to death.

"If not, how could you forgive me?" He scratched his head and giggled.

"If you dare to do such a dangerous thing again, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life." It still terrified her.

"Unless you promise me one thing." He said mysteriously.

"What is it?" She pouted.

Suddenly, he knelt on one knee and took out a platinum diamond ring from his pocket. "Sophia, marry me!"

A rush of ecstasy rushed into her chest, and she felt her whole body was waving. "John!" Tears welled up in her eyes as she choked with sobs. She had been looking forward to marrying him, to be his pure and beautiful bride the rest of her life. She trembled and held out her hands, tears streaming down her face.

He put the ring into her middle finger, then happily held her up and spun in the air.

There were applause and cheers of others around her, but they were all out of her world. In her eyes, there was only his handsome face, gentle smile and affectionate eyes.

On the other side, in the ZW Building, the sad and romantic love story of the two of them was spread to the outside by the president's office. A large number of people were excited, envied, and even Lucas heard it.

Lucas couldn't calm down the whole morning.

The cheater had used the same method, ruthless. He must know Sophia was a kind girl. OMG, she couldn't bear it this time.

Then he quietly came to the CEO's office. When he saw that Sophia hadn't come back yet, he couldn't help taking a deep breath. He dialed her phone.

"Boss, I have taken a day off today." The impatient voice came through, followed by a burst of laughter. "John, no, I'm afraid of itch the most."

Anger swelled up in his chest. He refused, "I said no. I'll give you ten minutes and come back right away."

Today was the happiest day of her life. No one or anything could destroy her happiness. "Boss, what is it?" She looked at John happily. However, the happier she was, the more angry Lucas was. "Sophia, you are awesome. You are a celebrity in your company and you love incredibly. How about getting a director to film a movie for you?" His eyes were full of ridicule.

Sophia was in a good mood and didn't argue with him. She stretched out her fingers and the 1 carat diamond ring was shining under the light, which hurt his eyes.

"Lucas, John proposed to me. I'm getting married." After saying that, she covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming because of excitement. Meanwhile, a burst of muffled laughter came out from her fingertips, which hurt his eardrum.

He felt like he was struck by a thunderbolt, twisting violently all over his body, and his internal organs twisted strangely. His face was pale and his brows were furrowed. And his handsome face was distorted. That shocked Sophia.

"Lucas, are you all right? Are you not feeling well?" She ran to him to touch his forehead, but was pushed away by him. "It's none of your business."

"But you look so uncomfortable, do you feel any pain?" She was a little worried.

Lucas lay on the back of the chair. Indeed, he was very uncomfortable. There was really a place that emitted a violent pain. Where was it? He put his hand over his chest where the heartache came from?

He raised his eyes and looked at the diamond ring on her finger. All of a sudden, he got a clear idea, which shocked him.

"Lucas." She poured him a glass of water, "drink some water."

He took up the cup and drank up the tea in one breath. "Sophia, have you really made up your mind to marry him?"

"Don't even think about it. Of course I'll marry John." She giggled.

"So easily to forgive him and that woman?" His eyes were getting darker and darker.

"In fact, in order to help his father get rid of the crisis in his company, John had no choice but to date with her. Right now, an old friend of his father was willing to offer money to help X group get through the difficult time, so he didn't have to ask for help from Y Group anymore. Yesterday, he had a showdown with Ella, and she would disappear from our world forever." She waved her arm and felt proud and elated. However, Lucas was frustrated. There was no reason that he wanted to stop her.

"Do you really love him so much?"

"Of course. I think I should have fallen in love with him since the moment I was born." She nodded her head like a chick pecking rice, and then smiled, "I'm an immortal fighter. I'm afraid of two things. One is that I'm frightened of the thunder, the other is to lose John. I don't love anyone else in my life except him."

"Why are you so sure?" His heart skipped a beat and his fingers tightened involuntarily.

"Sure." Her tone was resolute and without any hesitation, like a tornado, blowing him into the Arctic Ocean of ice. He stood up from the chair and walked to the window. With his back to her, he tried to hide his expression. For a long time, he said in a low voice, "you can go out now."

After she left, he just stood there silently until the last ray of sunlight covered the sky. "Viola, the Xu group..." he muttered, a malicious and cold light flashing through his eyes. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

In the next few days, Sophia was happy day by day. However, clouded days were in the CEO Office, and the roar of Lucas shook the walls. Everyone in the CEO Office was afraid that they would leave at any time.

"Who made boss angry recently?" Tina pouted.

"He is in big trouble this time." Gerard sighed.

"Do you know something?" Caspar patted on Daniel's shoulder.

Jerry shrugged his shoulders and didn't say a word. But Minnie glared at him and said, "if you want to keep yourself in the storm, keep silent."

Gerard let out a sigh and said, "I was just guessing. He got drunk the day before yesterday when I drank with him."

"Oh, mygod! Boss got drunk? " Tina was shocked. Everybody knew that Lucas controlled himself very well. He never allowed himself to be unconscious, so he didn't drink too much.

"And then?" Kai couldn't wait to ask.

"Then he kept calling a woman's name and threatened her that she was not allowed to marry anyone else." Jerry curled his lips and said, "so I think this is really a nuisance."

"Who is so attractive?" Minnie raised her eyebrows in disbelief. She had never seen him care about any woman before.

"She is the heroine of the grand love drama of our CEO office." Jerry smiled.

"Oh, mygod!" Tina said, "never judge a book by its cover."

"In that case, let's find a way to help him." A weird smile crept up on Minnie's face. They exchanged glances with each other and began to echo his words.
