"The whole city is decorated, this is so extravagant!" Harleen looked at the festive mascots on both sides of the street and said in slight surprise.
"It means that guy must be devoted to his girlfriend, right?" asked Billy.
"Uh-huh!" Harleen nodded slightly.
After a brief pause, she spoke hesitantly, "Billy, I told you that I needed you to propose before I could say yes last time... I was just kidding. You-"
"Harleen, I promised you that I would propose to you and make you the happiest woman in the world. Trust me." Billy interrupted her with a smile.
"I don't need any fancy proposal ceremony..." Harleen took a deep breath and said.
"But, I just need to know that you truly love me and are sincere towards Tasha and my family. During this time together, I've felt it. So... I don't need..."
"Harleen, even if you didn't mention anything that day, I still would have proposed to you. And I'll make sure every woman in Ozin City envies you!" Billy interrupted her.
"But..."
"Trust me, Harleen."
"Well then... it's up to you." Harleen spoke after a brief pause. She had already said everything she needed to say but it seemed like Billy still wasn't letting go; maybe he had other ideas after all. But thinking about the gap between herself and Billy once more made her feel a little disappointed.
Tonight's traffic in Ozin City was very congested.
Normally only a twenty-minute drive, it took Billy almost forty minutes to get near the entrance to the controlled area.
Looking around, Harleen saw that there were crowds of people at the entrance, but fortunately there were many staff members directing people into the controlled area. Although the sky was already dark, thousands of searchlights made the entire controlled area as bright as day.
"They're not letting cars in. Find a place to park and we'll walk in." Harleen reminded Billy when she saw he had no intention of parking.
"It's okay, I had my friend make arrangements for us. Our cars can go straight to Ozin Tower's parking lot."
"Is that true?" Harleen was slightly stunned. "Does your friend have that much authority?"
"Yeah, he knows a lot of people. It's easy for him." Billy responded with a smile.
"Hmm?" Just then, there was a surprised voice from someone in the crowd nearby
It was Beatrice Knight, her parents and several young descendants from her family. When they saw Billy and Harleen sitting inside their Porsche, Beatrice frowned tightly.
She not only failed to become the vice president responsible for marketing of the Knight Group but also got demoted by Zeph Knight by one level due to her poor performance which caused their family five million dollars loss. And so, even now she still hated both Billy and Harleen deeply for what happened last time.
"Isn't that Harleen? Using our money to buy such an expensive car? What a spendthrift!"Robert Knight also saw two people sitting in their Porsche from his car behind them. He clearly had animosity towards the two of them. Even though his father repeatedly instructed him not to provoke them again, the hatred in his heart couldn't be suppressed. While speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the Land Rover behind them where Fletcher Knight and the others in with an expression of disdain on his face once more.
"Oh! Isn't this Ms Harleen Knight? So extravagant!" At this point, Beatrice came up beside their car with a sarcastic tone.
Beatrice's family also looked at the two of them with disdainful eyes.
Billy originally wanted to drive straight in, but after hearing this, he deliberately slowed down.
