Meanwhile, Rio, the one arguing with Evan felt it was not right for Evan to act like this. So, he detailed his explanation.
"Don't you know RV is designing for more than 11 years? This only means that he is around 30 years. Logically speaking she was more than 13 years younger than RV. So, is there any wrong with us talking like that?"
Emily's face paled when she heard this. As if noting her pale complexion, Evan's already enraged face showed an annoyed expression.
"Don't you know RV can sue you for bad-mouthing his love?" he asked something to which Emily thought she could die than hearing those words from him.
Even though Rio feared a little, he still argued.
"Is he here to know what we are talking about?"
Evan smiled coldly and asked, "Is he not?"
Hearing him, everyone feared a little but instantly thought Evan was overstressing the problem.
'Even though he was from a rich family, he still could not say he knew internationally famous designer RV'
They refused to believe Evan knew RV. If only they knew who RV was,…
"Don't overstate yourself. Even though you are from a rich family, your family still could not compare to an international designer"
Leo smiled coldly, 'Can't you see how confident he was?' He called someone and informed them to bring a bouquet. Evan was his friend. He knew Evan planned to confess his feelings then and there.
Nina finally managed to find Leo when he was calling someone. But she did not doubt him and continued observing the drama. She felt angry at Evan. Because of him, her plan might have less effect than she anticipated.
Seeing them still not believing him, Evan thought he must reveal his identity to save Emily. He spotted Leo and Leo nodded his head. Feeling relaxed, he composed himself and asked, "How do you know RV was over 30 years old? I think he was only 19."
But Rio scoffed and replied, "19? You sure are a thing. I already said he is designing for more than 11 years. If what you said is true, then RV is designing since he was 8. Haha… You are hilarious."
"Is it not true?" Evan replied patiently.
Lillie laughed out aloud as she also felt that the arguing person was dumb. She stepped towards Evan and whispered something to him.
When Evan heard what she said, he was utterly dumbfounded and looked at Emily nervously.
Just then someone came towards the stage and handed a mid-sized bouquet to Evan. Evan accepted it and adjusted his dress and faced Emily.
Rio saw this and said disdainfully, "Are you going to propose to her? Is your taste that low? You stood for her just because you like her. Haha… Hey bro, one free piece of advice. Stay away from her. Someone like her is not…"
Before he could finish, Evan extended the bouquet to Emily and smiled tenderly.
"Emily, it has been two years. I feel lucky that I saw you and fell for you.
Just like you, I attended those boring parties just to see you. I don't know why but only if I see you, I feel I am living. After I saw you, I could not focus my heart as I always think about you. I want to give you everything I have. I promise if you choose me, I will never let you down.
I planned to confess my feeling after two weeks. But today's situation made me do this. I am sorry for what happened today. It was all because of me. I didn't think my simple action will cause a problem for you. I am sorry" He stopped and took a deep breath and finished, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
…
Silence flourished. Not even a breathing sound could be heard.
Even after some minutes passed, Emily did not show any reaction. She just stood there, not even blinking her eyes.
Is it her first time hearing a confession? No, absolutely not. But why was she so nervous that she felt her arms and legs were not moving. She wanted to accept the bouquet but she could not move her arms. She wanted to hug him but she could not move her legs.
'Can anyone say what happened to me?'
Lillie who was recording this love proposal scene could not help but pass her mobile phone to Ziya and stepped towards Emily.
"Don't make my brother wait too long" she whispered.
Coming down to earth, Emily was still surprised. Before she could accept the bouquet, someone started again.
"Don't you know, since she got a bigger fish, why bother accepting a small fish like you? As I said, she was with that RV"
Emily was so angry that she wanted to smash his head. With enraged eyes, she turned her head to see the one who spoke now. She was not surprised to see him. It was still Rio. Others might not know the reason, but she knew why he was bad-mouthing her.
Rio had proposed to her once. But she denied to accept him. He pursued her for some time and she did not feel good him following her everywhere. She got angry and yelled at him.
Rio, who was stared at by Emily did not fear but smiled mockingly.
"What? Did I say it correctly?"
But, Emily did not respond and turned towards her Evan. She smiled affectionately and accepted the bouquet from him and held his hands.
"I will," she said softly but Evan heard it well.
He felt happy as if he had gone to heaven. Even though he knew she will accept him as Lillie said, after hearing from her, he could not help but smile as if he had got the entire world.
Rio, the party pooper could not stand still and said disdainfully.
"I do not know you are like this. You two sure are a match. One was a double timer who is ready to date one and enjoy with another and the other was proposing the one who was shamelessly enjoying with a man who was a decade older than her"
As Evan got his answer, he was not in a hurry to smash Rio's head. He enjoyed Emily's presence.
After some time, he stepped towards Rio while holding Emily's hand. He smiled aloofly and raised his hands.
Rio was scared that Evan would beat him. So, he also raised his hands. But who knew Evan would turn his hand towards the media. He stood there embarrassed.
'He played me'
As Evan was a second-generation rich son, the media friends rushed forward and raised their mikes towards Evan.
Even in this situation, Evan was as calm as the deep sea. He stared at them and slowly opened his mouth.
"Today, I, Evan want to say whoever dares to spread rumors about me and my girlfriend will be sued by me. And I will never go easy with them who dares to spread rumors about my age. As you can see, I, RV is 19 years old this year. I am not over 30 as you people assume. And, yes. I designed ELORA only for Emily. Till now, she doesn't know about me being RV" then he turned towards Emily and held her hand protectively, and said, "I am sorry. What happened today was not my true intention. I just wanted to see you in that dress. But, my impudent decision made you humiliated today. I am sorr…"
But, before he could finish, Emily stopped him by pecking him lightly in his lips.
