I gaped at him like an absolute idiot, frozen in place as everyone kept on cheering. Inside, my mind was racing. He knew how much I hated confrontation. He knew. And yet he blindsided me like this? How could I cause a scene when there were so many here? No one from our office was there, but I did notice a few of his friends.
I gave him my hand on autopilot, the cheers increased at the action. I forced a smile and kissed him back when he rose up after slipping the cold metal onto my finger.
I gaped at the large diamond and he towed me to our table. I remained in autopilot mode for the next few hours. Thanking everyone that came to congratulate me.
