In the tranquil embrace of the day's fading light, Georgia found herself caught in the ebb and flow of emotions. As she lay beneath the quilt, thoughts swirled like autumn leaves in a gentle breeze, contemplating the recent revelation of her accidental marriage to Jack, a man of immense wealth and influence. At that moment, a sense of relief washed over her, as if the universe had orchestrated this twist of fate to align with her original plan—to live in partnership with Jack, just as they had both secretly desired.
With a newfound sense of tranquility, Georgia pulled the quilt over her head, surrendering to the lullaby of sleep. Time passed like a river's current, and as the afternoon sun dipped below the horizon, she slowly stirred from her slumber. The soft glow of twilight filtered through the curtains, illuminating her room with a gentle, ethereal radiance.
"Xiaoyu, right?" a warm and familiar voice called from outside her room. "Come on, drink some water and have an apple. I bought them fresh from the vegetable market this morning."
A moment of confusion lingered as Georgia tried to gather her bearings. Then, the realization dawned upon her—Jack had arrived, as promised. With a sense of anticipation, she hurriedly got out of bed, her heart fluttering like a bird taking flight.
As she made her way to the living room, she collided with her mother, Ms. Liu, who stood there with a tray of fresh fruits, a knowing smile gracing her lips. The sight of her mother's smile brought warmth to Georgia's heart as if a gentle hand was guiding her toward this unexpected encounter.
"Poetry, you came out just in time. Little metaphor, come and talk with him," Ms. Liu said, her voice carrying a loving and maternal tone.
The mention of "Xiaoyu" and "him" ignited a spark of realization within Georgia. It could only mean one thing—Jack had already arrived, and her mother had initiated a conversation with him. The wall clock confirmed the time—it was six o'clock, precisely when Jack had said he would come.
A surge of emotions cascaded through Georgia's being. Excitement mingled with uncertainty as she wondered what this meeting would bring. She felt like an artist about to paint a masterpiece on a blank canvas—her heart a swirl of colors and strokes, ready to reveal the true essence of her feelings.
Before she could fully process her thoughts, her mother guided her to the sofa, where she found herself face-to-face with Jack. He looked different from the imposing businessman she had seen earlier. In a casual gray sports shirt, he exuded a warm and approachable aura, making her feel at ease in his presence.
Her mind spun with countless questions and scenarios. Had he discovered her true identity? Was he aware of her connection to the Yu Group? A whirlwind of thoughts painted vivid pictures of conspiracy and intrigue, causing her heart to race with apprehension.
To her surprise, Jack seemed unperturbed by any revelations she might make. Instead, he simply uttered her name, "Poetry," like a gentle melody that cut through the silence. His calm demeanor and genuine smile put her at ease, like a soothing balm for her restless soul.
Her gaze met his, and she instinctively responded, "Yu Zong," addressing him with his title—the term used to refer to the CEO of a company. It was a slip of the tongue, and realization dawned upon her. She had not revealed her job or her connection to the Yu Group, and yet she had inadvertently referred to him with a term typically reserved for the leader of a company.
Her mind whirred with thoughts. Had Jack orchestrated this blind date to test her integrity and honesty? Did he already know everything, and was this all part of an elaborate scheme?
But to her surprise, Jack did not question her about her job or her connection to the Yu Group. Instead, he calmly instructed her to extend her right hand, followed by her left hand. Slightly bewildered but obedient, Georgia complied, her heart pounding like the beat of a drum.
With an air of grace and elegance, Jack produced a stunning platinum ring, its brilliance rivaling the stars in the evening sky. In one fluid motion, he gently slipped the ring onto the ring finger of her left hand, like an artist adding the finishing touch to a masterpiece.
The room seemed to hold its breath as the weight of the moment lingered in the air. With the platinum ring now adorning her finger, Georgia felt a whirlwind of emotions engulf her—bewilderment, surprise, and perhaps a hint of delight. What did this gesture mean? Was it an engagement ring? Was Jack proposing to her, even though their marriage had started as an accident?
Time stood still as they stood face to face, their eyes locking like a celestial dance of stars in the night sky. In that timeless moment, a myriad of possibilities bloomed, and Georgia found herself on the cusp of a new chapter in her life—a chapter where love, fate, and unexpected connections intertwined in a symphony of destiny.
