Mark continued, "Unlike marriage, engagement doesn't have any vows to be fulfilled and can be annulled at any time prior to marriage. So, this solution I'm providing is an engagement with benefits where we will only act like a couple in the outside world.
But, when we were at home, just like before, you will stay in your room and I will stay in mine. Neither of us will take advantage of the fact that we will be half-married at any given point in time. So, it will be like you are a tenant who will be living in my house except that you don't need to pay me any rent.
And of course, I don't want you to think that you are a burden on me. That's why I want you to work with me, taking up the position of the store's manager. Chang Bo is only an employee but I'm still paying him 120 gold coins per month.
