Chapitre 240: Hand in marriage

"This is a surprise," Nick said as he opened the envelope handed to him by his secretary.

He was not expecting that Alex would include him in the list of guests. After all, he was the ex-fiancé of his current girlfriend. At the same time, a competitor in the business.

He suspected that Alex had a hidden agenda for inviting him since he recently discovered that Alex had been buying shares from his company. It was safe to assume that Alex was planning something against him.

"What surprise?" Cassie asked since she was also in the office that day. "What is that?"

She looked at him as she waited for him to tell her what was on his hands. She could feel the excitement of her partner with the news he just received. 

"An invitation to the grandest event this season." Nick waved the piece of colored cardboard in his hand and showed it to Cassie, who moved closer to him.
