Joel shuffled towards his door to see who had been ringing his doorbell persistently for more than a minute without a single pause.
When he saw it was Anna through the digital monitor, he opened the door immediately.
"Why didn't you just come in?" He asked as he looked at her in confusion. She didn't only know his passcode, she also had a spare key of his apartment.
"I didn't want to interrupt in case you were with a lady inside." She said.
"Really? The doorbell was enough to interrupt" He said with a short laugh.
"You know what I mean. Didn't want to barge in on you both." She said and he noticed the worried look on her face.
"What's wrong? Are you okay? Did your parents do something again?" He asked as he took her hand to lead her inside before closing the door.
She was quiet for close to a minute before saying out,
"Mr. J asked me to marry him."
It was as if a bomb just exploded in Joel's head.
