Johan always felt like there were not enough hours in a day whenever he started working. However, he was so distracted right then that he felt the meeting had been going on for days, even though it had just started.
He was worried because he wasn't getting any more messages from Sierra. "You guys can go on with the meeting. I'll be back in a bit."
Then, Johan got up and left the conference room.
His team members immediately gave each other a knowing look as they watched Johan leave. All of them knew that there was no else but Sierra who could make Johan leave halfway through a meeting.
However, they couldn't figure out why the two of them were so distant from each other. After all, they were engaged to each other, and Johan obviously had Sierra in his heart too.
Deep down, they had many questions, but no one dared to ask so they could only let their curiosity grow in their hearts.
Meanwhile, Sierra had checked into a two-room suite on the 28th floor.
Johan had been to the room to set down his luggage on the night of his arrival at Chatterton Town but hadn't been back ever since. However he still remembered the room number very clearly.
Johan had a room card, but he didn't use it to open the door. Instead, he raised his hand and knocked on the door first. After waiting for a few seconds and noticing that there was no reply, he used his card to open the door.
With a click, the door was opened, and the scene in the room made him stop in his track...
He didn't see a sick woman, but rather, a seductress!
Sierra was dressed in sexy, see through lingerie. At the sight of her, Johan flew into a rage. He glared at her coldly and turned around to leave.
He knew that she liked to trick him, and he knew that she often lied to him. Even so... He still fell into her trap time and time again, like a fool.
Just as he had taken two steps toward the door, Sierra's arrogant voice came from behind. "Johan, if you dare to leave, I don't know what I will do."
Her words halted him in his tracks. He turned back, and his gaze was focused on her. He was staring at her for so long that Sierra thought he didn't plan to speak until he suddenly asked, "Sierra, tell me. What must I do to make you happy?"
His voice was hoarse and filled with anger, and the blue veins on his forehead were popping. It was as if he had reached the end of his patience for her
Sierra could clearly see the rage through his eyes and expression. Every subtle movement he made was telling her that he was done tolerating her, and that he wanted to stay far away from her.
In fact, there were countless times Sierra had told herself that Johan did not love her, that she should just let him go.
However, her inner reluctance and stubbornness made her say otherwise. "Johan, I want you to marry me. I'll be happy if you marry me."
She had always wanted to say those words to him but she never had the courage to do so. Sierra knew that not only would he not agree, he would also look at her with that indifferent gaze of his and tell her to dream on.
"Okay!" That simple answer made Sierra's heart tremble. What did she just hear?
He agreed!
He agreed to marry her!
Before saying this, she had thought of many possible scenarios, but she had never expected that it would turn out like that.
Was she hallucinating? Did she mishear him?
Just as Sierra was struggling to process what had just happened, she heard Johan's emotionless voice once again. "Return to the capital the day after tomorrow. I'll see you at the Civil Bureau when the time comes."
"What..." Sierra couldn't keep up with what he was saying, but when she finally came to her senses, she nodded repeatedly and answered, "Okay."
Nonetheless, just as she nodded, she noticed Johan smiling. It was not a happy smile, but rather a mocking sneer.
Sierra felt as if someone had punched her heart. It was hurting so much that she almost lost her balance.
As for Johan, he once again turned around and left under Sierra's watchful gaze.
He was as decisive as always! • • •
