章 26: Chapter 27

<Layla>

I leaned on his arm.

“Jase, when is your plan to marry me?” I asked slowly. He knows that I had been crushing him for years.

He stops typing on his laptop and looks at his computer for seconds.

“Hey? Are you okay?” I nudged him.

What’s wrong with my question?

He looked at me and loosened his tie.

“I am still busy, and the company needs my full attention; Layla, we’re not in a relationship," he continued what he was doing.

He is answering emails.

I stomped my feet on the ground in annoyance.

“Hello! I am chasing you now! My feelings for you, and everyone knows I am into you. Even my brother Kier gave up on my stubbornness.”

Brother Kier doesn't want us to end up being together. I don't know what his problems are. From my point of view, it's good that I am going to marry one of his friends because they have known each other for a long time.

“I can’t marry you," he said straightforwardly. Ouch! That hurts a lot.
