She Is A CEO

Kneeling on one knee, Arthur lifted the white lily up to Lucia's eyes, and said seriously.

"Lucia, I believe you should feel my crush on you. I want to be more than your friend. Fate binds us. Of course, that's not what made me fall in love with you. I don't know how to express that feeling. I just want to be around you. It's reassuring for me to see you smile. I think I have a crush on you, so...'

Arthur conveyed his true feelings to Lucia.

Though Lucia was quite frightened and shyly lowered her eyes, being afraid to look into Arthur's eyes directly, she pricked up her ears and listened to him carefully.

She was relieved to hear Arthur say he had a crush on her. It meant that he had a desire to be close to her, and to be intimate with her.

Such a confession was more sincere in the heart of Lucia who was betrayed before. And it was much more touching than those three words - "I love you".

When Lucia listened to Arthur carefully, his following words made her heart pound through her chest.

"So... please marry me!" Arthur proposed to her!

Lucia stared at him in wide-eyed shock.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

This guy! Why so fast?

She didn't expect he would propose to her in the end. Except for being shocked, Lucia admired Arthur's amazing way of thinking.

"This is the first time you declare you like me, then you just propose to me?" Lucia expressed her surprise, goggling at him.

No, this was not a confession anymore! It was a proposal, okay?!

Lucia's face turned redder at this thought.

Lucia's words made Arthur frown. Lucia's reaction was unexpected to him, so he went on, "I'm dating you with the purpose of marrying you... Or you just want me to give it a shot and dump you when I am tired of you?"

Lucia was dumbfounded at his words. What an unromantic man!

After figuring out what was on Arthur's mind, she burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" After he proposed to her, she laughed instead.

Arthur was confused and unhappy at the same time. Didn't she want to marry him? Wasn't it so amusing to hear his confession of love?

He was the most popular man that all women longed to marry!

"I was not laughing at you..." Seeing Arthur's unhappy face, she quickly explained. His frankness eased Lucia's tension to some extent.

She put her feet on the floor, reached out to take the lily, and said, "Arthur, I am not laughing at you. I am just surprised by your sudden proposal. You are right. We should start a relationship with the purpose of being together for life. But no need to hurry at present. Let's date first. When we have deeper feelings for each other, we'll end up getting married, won't we?"

Lucia patiently explained to Arthur.

Arthur was happy to hear that. As long as she didn't turn him down, he was fine with it.

Looking at the lily in Lucia's hand, he cracked a smile.

"Are you ready to get up?" Seeing Arthur kneeling on the ground and giggling, Lucia was amused and reminded him.

"You haven't said yes yet." Arthur was stubborn.

"Yes, I do. I'll go out with you, okay?" Lucia felt as if she was coaxing a child. Only after she said yes did he rise to his feet and sat next to her.

Lucia felt the sofa beside her sink and saw Arthur sit next to her. Then she suddenly realized that she had said yes.

She wanted to let nature take its course, but to her surprise, she just said yes after Arthur confessed his love to her.

Perhaps her feelings for her was much stronger than she expected.

Lucia smiled and thought, holding the stalk of the lily.

While Lucia felt pleased and sweet, Arthur suddenly said, "What's the next step?"

Lucia turned her head and looked at Arthur in confusion. "What?"

"We are in a relationship now, aren't we? What are we going to do?" Arthur asked bluntly.

Lucia was speechless at Arthur's question.

They stared at each other for a while, and then looked away at the same time.

The chemistry between them made them blush.

The room was silent. This was an opportunity Sophie created for Lucia and Arthur to spend time together.

But now, the two, who had no love experiences, were at a loss for how to enjoy their moments.

Lucia lowered her eyes. Arthur reached out to take her hand. He looked at the red mark on her wrist and noticed it faded.

Then he said, "The mark is almost gone. No need to use ice now."

Lucia laughed and turned to Arthur. "It's not that serious, is it?"

"It looks serious to me." Arthur looked Lucia in the eye and said carefully.

Lucia blushed. He always said something that made her heart pound, but he had no idea about it!

Arthur stared at the red glow on Lucia's face. Then he bent to kiss her on the lips. He had wanted to do this for a long time.

Lucia was surprised by his sudden kiss. As his face got closer to her, she wanted to lean back, but she just froze there when she saw Arthur close his eyes.

Lucia also wanted to be intimate with him.

After a gentle kiss, Arthur disengaged himself from her lips. But his eyes were still fixed on her red lips. Evidently, he wanted more.

Then he hinted Lucia by the eye - "How does it feel being kissed?"

It made Lucia feel as if she was dating a teenager who kissed his first girlfriend. When she thought about it, she couldn't help smiling.

Stretching out her hand, Lucia said naughtily, "So, we are in love now."

Arthur smiled gently, held Lucia's hand, and said, "Yeah, we are in love."
