Chapter 408 - Ms. Herren can you help me to propose her..

"And boss. I might not cook dinner too...we decided to have a dinner at the beach side itself. We will party and drink...you and your girlfriend can join us if she is interested"

It hit him directly in his heart...how can his plan backfire...

"But Hope you promised that you will meet her. Don’t you value our friendship....it will hardly take an hour" Rick couldn’t help but plead her. He has been working on this plan since a week.

How can he let it go waste...

"Fine boss. I will come.....but you should let me take three days vacation starting from tomorrow. After this date we decided to go for underwater drive at one of the private island" Hope said and beamed happily.

Rick couldn’t help but start eating vinegar. He just realized that he too can feel jealous. Underwater drive....private island...hell!! His insides are burning.

"OK done. So Ms. Herren shall we go, I don’t want my wife to wait" he bluntly said .

Hope rolled her eyes...

"Sure boss. I too don’t want my date to wait either" Hope gritted her teeth.

...

Meanwhile...

Rick might have took very cautious steps to secure his surroundings but he is totally unaware that Johann have his second uncle’s support.

When compared to Braxton’s, Richards and council are not up-to the mark to face them. It needs all the strength from every council member, leaders and founders.

So, without knowing to Rick, the staff has been replaced with Johann’s men. No killing but they are free to harm and scare her. So Rick will leave her for her own good.

Hope dressed herself in dark color palazzo and tight fit top. She looked professional rather than casual. Rick sighed.

"Let’s go boss. Don’t mind my dress because I have to go directly to the date and this dress is convenient for me" saying so Hope sat in the car.

Rick nodded and ignited the engine but along with it his heart is also in ignition. How dare she talk about her date in such a great manner...it have hurt his ego

.....

"Boss, why is the hotel deserted. Is something happening here? Why is this indoor garden decorated like this. Didn’t you tell me that this is just a normal meet" Hope continuously fired her questions.

"Hope, just follow me alright. Don’t ask or talk anything for a while" he said and took her hand into his before leading her.

Whereas Hope is dumbfounded and stared at their hands. A small smile blossomed on her face and instantly evaporated as she remembered the sole purpose of visiting here.

Rick brought her to the table which is decorated with candles and her favorite tulips. The room is dimly lit and the only sound they can listen is from the fountain.

It is peaceful and spread with romantic vibes. Hope couldn’t see even a single person around her. She frowned.

"Boss, I think we came to wrong place..." Hope said and looked at the person who is not at all paying attention to her.

"Boss" she called only to get ignored again.

Sighing annoying she folded her arms on her chest. Waiting for him to talk.

"Call me with my name Hope. Please" he caved in. This is not the right time to show his ego.

"Why boss? So you can make her jealous? If not, then call your soon to be wife so I can show her my beautiful face and leave. Looks like you both are about to have some quality time...then why did you call me. To humiliate me again or to use me to make her jealous.." Hope blurted all her anger.

"You knew that I like you a lot. Still you are hurting me like this...never take my love for you as granted" saying so she stood up as her tears started to roll on her face.

Rick felt guilty...very guilty. Did he overdo this teasing? Of course he did. How felt bad of himself...mentally scolding himself he chased her with big strides.

Even before she could take any further step, Hope is scooped into his arms. He made her sit on the chair and stood in front of her.

Hope frowned at him confusingly. Why is he doing this?

"Boss..." even before she could continue he stopped her. There is a tiny ray of hope in her eyes but it got vanished as she listened to his next words.

"Hope, my soon to be wife is just behind you" he said and turned her chair around...

Hope sighed. She almost thought that he will propose her....she is such a fool to love him and expect it in return.

For a year long, he ignored her advances and even chased her away from him. Just a few days back they became friends.

She is stupid to take it as granted. She realized that he started being close to her only to learn how to cook from her. Neighborhood perks.....indeed

Only to find that he is in love with another woman from almost nine months...

With her heart pounding she looked up, and her heart almost stopped while she felt her body tremble with overwhelmed feelings.

Tears started rolling down her face as her lips quivered. She sniffled her sob and cupped her mouth from making sounds.

There is a giant mirror facing them. It is sprinkled with water just like rain drops. And the water drops are flowing rhythmically from top to bottom of the mirror. But the only image she could see is her reflection on it. And the remaining is blurred including Rick.

Biting her lower lip from crying she looked at Rick who is now kneeling in front of her. He is smiling and his eyes brimmed with love. He chuckled and looked at the mirror adoringly..

"Did you like my girlfriend, Ms. Herren? Can you help me to propose her" he asked.
