Shermaine sobbed uncontrollably. However, Dorothy didnât even want to look at her. âInform all the
higher-ups that weâre going to have a meeting in the first meeting room.â
The news caused an uproar within the company. Numerous employees cheered loudly as well.
Everyone didnât dare go against Emma back then because they didnât want any trouble. However,
despite their cowardice, they still sided with Dorothy in spirit.
Alex, on the other hand, didnât have anything to do at the time.
He looked at Shermaine who was extremely upset and still sobbing uncontrollably. Alex shook his head
lightly and walked off.
Just then, a luxurious car arrived in front of the company. A man and a woman got out of the car.
The man was in a smart suit looking dashing, and the woman was Beatrice Assex.
Why were they here?
To propose.
The security guards at the entrance of the building received the news of Dorothy regaining her position
in the company. Hence, as Dorothyâs sister, Beatrice could enter the building and make preparations for
a proposal.
The security guards of the company were curious by the appearance of Dorothyâs sister.
They rushed up to Beatrice and asked, âLady Beatrice, who are you proposing to?â
However, Beatrice smirked and replied, âYouâll see.â
With the help of the guards, the preparations were complete. There were big bouquets of flowers and
balloons of various colors surrounding a white luxurious car. Two drones flew up mid-air with the edges
of a pink banner hung onto them. A line of words was written on the banner.
The guards were shocked.
The line of words wasâ¦
âMarry me, Dorothy! I love you! I want to spend the rest of my life with you!â
âDorothy, Dorothy Assex. Isnât that the name of the CEO of our company?â
âIsnât our CEO married?â
Everyone in the company witnessed the scene. Initially, it didnât cause such a huge commotion. They
were just taking guesses on who this rich young man had his eyes on to propose so extravagantly.
However, once the banner was revealed, everyone had their mouths wide open.
Dorothy had been with Alex even before their marriage.
Dorothy even resorted to death threats just so that she could marry Alex when the Rockefeller incident
happened and rumors started spreading. That showed just how true their love was⦠Why would
anyone try to ruin such a beautiful relationship?
Whatâs worse was that Dorothyâs sister was helping this guy out as well.
Rumors started spreading in the inofficial company group chat as everyone seemed to have their
opinions on this.
Someone with the name âNightmare Husbandâ had spread the newsâ¦
[After that incident, Ms. Assexâs husband had become a total loser. He worked as a slave in the Assex
mansion. I heard he couldnât even step foot into Ms. Assexâs bedroom!]
[Ms. Assex probably didnât have any attraction towards that Alex guy. They may be married but thatâs
probably just in name.]
[Now that Ms. Assexâs sister has lent this guy a hand, wouldnât that mean that this is the real deal? Alex
is just helpless at this point. I think this guy had already asked for blessings from the Assexes! This
proposal is just plain courtesy. Ms. Assex will totally accept the proposal!]
With this, everyone believed that this was all true.
Why would Beatrice be doing this anyway?
Meanwhile, Alex was drinking tea while reading the newspaper in the CEOâs office. He paced around
the room and walked towards the window. When he saw the proposal scene, his expression darkened.
âWho the f*ck is this?
âGosh, itâs such a bother to have a gorgeous wife. I always have to chase these pests away.
âAnd you, Beatrice. You seem like youâre asking for a beating.â
He put down his cup and turned around to go downstairs.
âAlex?â Suddenly, a female voice called out to him.
He turned his head and realized that it was a woman in a dark grey uniform. She was in her mid-
twenties and was wearing a pair of black glasses. She seemed well-developed with a curvy body.
âMaya?â
