"So tell me, what is your business in coming here?" Ayame said while crossing her legs and put her arms together.
"I would like to propose to you!"
"F*ck off!" "I really mean it though :(... I already talked to you parents in the party and they approved of me being engaged and your husband.." William said with a smiley face.
-----
"What would you like to talk about Mr. Li?" Mrs and Mr. Lin sat down while taking a sip of their coffee.
"I would like to be engaged with your daughter," William says firmly.
"Ah! Hot!" Mrs. Lin yell.
"Be careful honey, it's hot!" Mr. Lin tried to take the coffee away from her hand.
"Sorry, I was just.. ummm.. surprised?"
"It's alright, Mrs. Lin. I understand why you might be suprised about my sudden words but I'm sincere about proposing to your daughter.." William says while bowing his head.
"We.. don't choose who she wants to marry. Do not get us wrong! We are fine with you being engaged with our daughter but it's just.. our daughter.. isn't the typical women you know?"
"I know very well about that Mrs. Lin. I would not have proposed if I didn't know a single thing about her, but please let us be engaged this once.." William begged them.
"*Sigh* this is quite complicated, she has so many suitor hiding behind her back that I don't even know who they are. But she spends her time mostly with this Aki Souma, a quite handsome man.. but it's a shame that he was just one of her.. um.. man??" Mrs. Lin says with a troubled face.
"I'll take care of it all! I'll make a way so she doesn't meet up with those men again.. I'm sure I'll find a way, Mrs. Lin... please trust me," William says while looking at them with a begging look.
"*Sigh* ALRIGHT! It's time for that girl to get married anyway.. she can't just keep "flinging" with these boys, she eventually needs to end up with someone. So, Mr. Li you are in luck! I hope you'll change our daughter.. she has been rebellious since young but she's really precious to us. Please take care of her." Mr. Li says while bowing to William.
"It's my pleasure to take care of her Mr. Li, please leave her to me" Willian bow too.
"I really hope you can change her, William. When you get engaged please for visit us.. well if that girl even wants to acknowledge her engagement.." Mrs. Lin says.
"Yes, ma'am. I'll bring her to you to tell our engagement soon.." William smile happily.
"Thank you William.. I hope you are happy with our daughter.." Mr. Li says.
"I sure will, sir." William smiles and bid them farewell to proceed on leaving the mansion.
------------
"Huh.. I can't believe they still chose who I married to.. even though I fulfilled all their wishes.." Ayame said a low voice.
"No, you are mistaken I was the one that talks to them if I could be engaged with you first because I'm interested in you.. You shouldn't blame them like this.."
"Then I suggest you back-down because I have no intention of getting marry to you.. if there was one person that I could marry.. that would be My Aki..." Ayame looked away from him.
"Shouldn't you give me a chance too to prove my love to you.. I think it's unfair that you're being biased only to one person.." William says with an upset expression
"I don't care Mr. Li, I only need to tell them I'm marrying Aki.." Ayame flipped her hair with a nonchalant expression.
"I don't think you should compare me to Aki, after all we are different.. As he is a mafia leader, while I'm a regular, clean businessman."
"YOU! HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT AKI REAL IDENTITY?!" Ayame got up from her chair and pointed her fingers at him.
"I'm just stating the fact, Ms. Lin.. I have many connection and it's not that hard to find his real information as many people in the mafia world know him. Now Ms. Lin, are you sure you are still going to pick him with all the facts that I have just stated? I don't think you want anyone to hear that your favorite suitor is a mafia member, do you not? "William says as he put together his hand gracefully.
"You!!! What do you want?!?!"
"Ahhh finally you are coming to your senses, well all I need you to do is accept to be engage and eventually married by me.."
"And why should I agree with your deal?"
"Well, you get to show off that you have a husband as handsome and as rich as me!" William exclaimed.
"But I'm already Rich as in Crazy Rich Woman." Ayame look at him with a straight face.
"But your life is not perfect if you have a husband that have a face unlike mine."
"Ewww.. I don't even know why you have the audacity to propose this deal, when I already have everything.. Tell me Mr. Li, what is it you want? Ayame looked at him straight in the eyes.
"All I ever wanted is you.. is it wrong to like you? Is loving you a sin? I know you are different from those richie girl, that is why I'm interested in you.. I don't even care if you are not a virgin anymore, you can always take mine." William looked at her her with a sincere face.
"*Sigh* I'll think about it for now, but I have no idea why you even propose like this to me in the first.. when you are not showing me your card."
"Well.. He who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount.."
"Clever.. Hmm I'll think about it.. for now just do your own work and I'll call you through my secretary if I have the answer. Just to let you know, don't expect me to love you like other women especially if you only want ME to love YOU. You should know the consequence of even making a deal with me, understand?"
"Yes Ms. Lin! Then I will await your reply, until next time." William strode to the door as he exited her office.
Once he's gone, Ayame sight and started to think about his proposal. She still can't figure out what his motive and what he know about her.. All she can conclude is that he knows something about her more than her close allies do..
'*sigh* For now I'll finish my work. Once I'm back to my house, I'll think about it.'
Once again, she drowned herself with loads of paperwork until night.
