1066 Words
"Do you want me to marry you? Why me? Kelly asks curiously.
"Listen, I know it sounds harsh, but I really needed your help. That's the reason I want to talk to you about." "I may drop my terms and your terms in a paper and notarized by a lawyer. It won't be a long marriage, just according to our will."
"I know your dilemma, your house, and your father's company is at stake. I can help you acquire those, and I will give you anything you want if you accept my proposal," Alex said.
"You're asking me; why I choose you? Because you are not like those women who I used to date, they were all only looking for my personality and money, and all failed to my expectations," Alex says.
"What if I am one of those women? Kelly asks.
"I know you are not like them, and I know all about you and your family," Alex says.
"You investigated me? Kelly asks.
"Not exactly, but if I say yes, you will be mad at me, I have the ways to know all about you. I can also help to investigate your parent's death," Alex says.
"What will you expect from me if I marry you? Kelly asks.
"You're heart and yourself; nothing else matters. Everything was to your advantage; you gain my loss." Alex says.
"Can you give me time to think about it? Kelly asks.
"Of course, I won't force you, I will give you 24 hours to think, whatever decision you may think, I will accept it, no hurt feelings," Alex says seriously, seen in his face.
"Weighing the pros and cons of your offer, all was an advantage for me? What about you? You didn't bother that you may be at a loss? Kelly says.
"As I said, I only want you and your heart; money was nothing to me. I can earn them even if I don't go to the company," Alex says.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Come in!
"President, there's someone who wants to visit you. She was creating ruckus outside; she insists on entering your ward." the bodyguard said.
May I know who it is? Alex asks.
"It's Miss Alfond, President." the bodyguard answered.
"Oh, the annoying butterfly, let her in," Alex said.
Kelly tries to stand up and said I...
"Stay, wait for Steven here." "Sit here, beside me. I have an unwanted visitor." "Please help me get rid of this woman? Alex asks.
Kelly stood up and follow him and sit beside him. How? Kelly asked.
"Just act along; you don't have to say anything," Alex said softly.
Hazel was entering the room, and her eyes were glaring at Kelly. Alex and Kelly sat closely with each other.
"How are you? Is your wound still hurt? Hazel asks.
"I'm fine, and thank you for a visit. I will be discharged on the other day." Alex says.
"Who is she? Why is she in your room? Hazel asks.
Why? "What is it with you now if she's inside my room? Does she bother you? Alex asks.
"That's not what I mean. I'm only asking...that's all." Hazel says timidly.
"If you'll excuse us. We had an important matter to talk about, but you were interrupting us with your sudden visit." Alex said, face annoying.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I may take a visit some other day." "Get well soon," Hazel said while walking out of the room.
Alex took a long sigh when Hazel left. Kelly observes everything, and she saw that Hazel likes Alex, but Alex doesn't like her at all, according to his speech. He did not even bother to look at her face full of make-up and her slutty dress. A short defeating silence has filled the room for a minute; Hazel walks out of the room.
"You want to ask something? Alex asks.
"Why should I? "I have no right to ask; we have no relationship. I know where I stand." Kelly says.
"That's what I like about you, and you can easily see things properly," Alex says.
What do you think of Hazel? “I will ask you an honest answer," Alex asks.
"Honestly, speaking, she was infatuated by you; she tried to catch your attention earlier, but you did not even bother to glance at her face; that's my opinion," Kelly explains.
"Impressive! did you study psychology? Alex asks.
"Why, did you ask? "I can read people through their eyes if I look at them." "Our eyes were a window to our soul; you can see if they say the truth or they were lying through looking at their eyes," Kelly answered.
"What can you see in my eyes, Kelly, and tell me the truth," Alex said while looking at Kelly's eyes closely; their bodies almost collide.
Kelly took a large gulp when Alex came to her closely, her heart beats fast, and her breathing almost stops at their proximity.
"But, for you, I can't see it; you know how to hide your emotions," Kelly says while looking into Alex's eyes.
Suddenly Steven came inside; Alex and Kelly didn't hear the door was being opened outside.
"Ahem! Kelly jerks up, and her face was heating up due to the embarrassment of their awkward position.
"Sorry! Did I bother you both? Did I interrupt something? Steven asks.
"No! not Alex and Kelly said at once.
Have you finished my discharge procedure? “Before the annoying fly could come back and bother my rest," Alex says.
"Why? “Did someone come when I was not here? Steven asks.
"Yes, Miss Alfond came and made a ruckus out here; I'm so embarrassed by that woman's attitude, seems to have grown up in the public market," Alex says.
"Pfft! Pfft! Hahaha! Kelly and Steven laugh at what Alex said for Hazel.
"Why, what; so funny? Alex asks.
"What you said about and described Miss Alfond was funny. I think that way also." "I will not like that kind of woman, his face full of makeup and the pungent smell of her perfume and the way she dresses like a slut in the nightclub," Steven says.
"Okay, let's go before she comes back," Alex says.
Alex, Kelly, and Steven walked out of the room and went directly to the parking lot. The two men drop Kelly to her company before Alex went home.
