Jacob Jefferson kneeled on one knee while his hand holding a little box, then he opened the box. It was a diamond ring inside the box. Amy Brooke gasped as she didn't expect Jacob to propose to her tonight.
"We have been together for a short time. Maybe three months is too fast, but I have met no woman that I feel more suitable to be my wife than you."
Amy put her hand to cover her mouth as she was too surprised. Since Jacob was hot and cold consecutively, she even suspected Jacob might want to end their relationship tonight. But who would have guessed that Jacob proposed to her?
"I …."
Then the people in the restaurant, who sat near the young couples, shouted, "Accept him! Accept him! Accept him!"
Amy bit her lower lip. Then she whispered, "Jacob, please have a seat."
"Will you accept my proposal?" Jacob's eyes pleaded with her.
"Let's talk first. Then I'll give you my answer."
That was when Samuel Hoffner saw what happened. Samuel was a famous billionaire who owned so many hotel networks and restaurants, including the restaurant where Amy and Jacob were currently there. He was there with his date, Cecilia Smith.
"Do you see them?" Samuel moved his chin over Amy and Jacob.
"Yes, the man proposes to his girlfriend. Isn't it romantic?"
"Ha! Romantic? What if the girl rejects him?"
Cecilia shook her head. "I don't think she will do that. But, wait! I think I know them. The man is Jacob Jefferson, the heir to The House of Glam, while the woman is Amy Brooke, the first daughter of Peter Brooke. Peter Brooke is a genius at creating jewelry. Do you know Jewelry Palace?"
Samuel nodded as he had just bought a blue diamond necklace Cecilia loved in the Jewelry Palace. He even met with Peter Brooke, the designer of the necklace and the jewelry store owner.
He squinted his eyes and shook his head slightly. "See? The girl will reject him. She is too young to get married."
"Who said? I think Amy is twenty. She can marry now. Can you imagine if they get married? The fashion world will have a big party!"
What Cecilia said was correct as The House of Glam and Jewelry Palace were two famous places for all fashionistas. As Cecilia was a model, she knew exactly who's who in the industry.
Samuel glanced at Amy and Jacob again. Then, he saw how Amy bit her lower lip and bent her head. He made up his mind and threw his napkin. "Let's go there. I think the girl needs to be rescued."
"What will you do? They are lovers! You will disturb them."
"Let's walk there just to ensure that she's okay."
Cecilia had no choice other than to follow Samuel. She grabbed Samuel's hand, so she wouldn't be left behind. Then she walked beside him with chin lifted high. Many restaurant visitors glanced toward them in awe. Samuel smiled and nodded at some of them as he recognized some of the restaurant's regular customers.
Before he could walk further, a tall man towered in front of him. "Samuel Hoffner?"
"Yes, and you are?"
"Jason Doherty."
Samuel frowned for a second and shook his head. "Sorry, but never heard of the name."
"Maybe you won't remember any of your victims' names. But you should remember Cassiopeia Village."
Samuel stared at Jason. "Sure. I bought them last week. All papers have been managed by my lawyers."
