"Married! I didn't get it. Please, if you do not agree with my proposal then it's okay with me but don't say something awkward that destroys your image to me."

Nubu was shocked by hearing Ramia's response. He never expected that Ramia would be married. He requested Ramia not to joke about her marriage.

"I'm extremely sorry, Sir, I can't accept your proposal. I'm really very sorry."

Ramia bowed her head and asked forgiveness from him. 

"But.." 

Nobu wanted to tell Ramia something to Ramia but she suddenly stood up and grabbed her purse and she was about to leave. So Nubu didn't say anything.

"Sir, I need to go now. Please, forgive me. I can't not only accept you but other mens too. Thank you for the dinner."

Ramia replied to Nobu and asked permission to leave. While saying that Ramia was looking at her phone rapidly, as if someone was waiting for him.

After saying that Ramia started to walk. 

"Miss, Ramia, I won't give up on you. Keep that in mind."

Nobu said that as loud as he can so that Ramia can hear him out. Ramia heard but didn't reply to him and she went from there.

"Sir, what will we do now? Everything you planned to surprise her went to vain." Nobu's butler Aoi came to him and asked him what they should do now.

"Dammit! Dammit!." Nobu stood up and punched the table hard twice. By the pressure of his hand the wine glasses fell and red wine speared all over the white table sheets. Aoi and the other waiters came towards him and they started to clean the table. 

Nobu looked around the restaurant once more and sigh!. It was beautifully decorated to surprise Ramia. 

Kosuke Nubu, the CEO of "Nubu Fashion Zone" company. There Miona Ramia works as a fashion designer. Kosuke Nobu was impressed by her skills and her sweet character. So he finally decided to propose to her. He secretly arranges a dinner date for both of them. So he booked a high class restaurant for that night. And bring a big flower bouquet. He also plans to give her an expensive proposal ring.

It seems like the evening didn't quite go as planned for Kosuke Nobu!

Nobu's butler, Aoi, helped to clean up the mess. Nobu couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. He was disappointed, frustrated and even a bit embarrassed because all the waiters stared at him and they started gossiping with each other. Nobu had been so sure that Ramia would say yes to his lavish proposal but now it seemed like she had rejected him. 

"Aoi, I think I need to get out of here." Nobu said while he looked at the floor. He grabbed his head and both of his hands. 

his voice was still shaking with emotion and disappointment.

"Could you please get my car ready and let's get out of here?"

Aoi nodded silently and bowed his head knowing that his master was upset. He then quickly got the car ready and brought Nobu out of the restaurant.

As Aoi and Nobu drove away from the restaurant Nobu couldn't help but remember the evening in his mind. He thought about all the things he could have done differently and all the things he could have said to make Miona Ramia say yes to his proposal.

As Nobu drove he couldn't forget about the feeling that something wasn't quite right. Why had Ramia reacted the way she did? Was she really married? And what was she doing on her phone when she left? Nobu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Nobu's mind was racing with questions and doubts, but he knew he had to take a step back and clear his head. He decided to take a drive around the city, hoping to clear his thoughts and figure out what he should do next.

As he drove through the dark streets, think about Ramia. He had been so deep in love with her and he couldn't imagine a life without her. But now it seemed like she was out of reach. He will never get her.

He was starting to lose hope at that time his phone rang. He was staring at the screen. It was an unknown number. So, he didn't answer it the first time. Then it rang again. Nobu's heart skipped a beat as he answered it for an unknown reason.

"Hello? Who is speaking?" His voice barely above a whisper to man of the other end.

"Is that Kosuke Nobu?" A voice on the other end of the mobile asked.

"Yes, It's me speaking. Who are you?" Nobu replied to the man gently.

"I'm someone who knows you very well." The voice chuckled. 

"I'm someone who knows your secrets and your desires."

Nobu's heart began to race as he wondered who could be calling him. Who knew his secrets? What did he want?

"I'm listening. Just go ahead." Nobu said. His voice was firm but curious.

The voice on the other side playfully chuckled. 

"Let me say that I know more about Ramia than you do Mr. Nobu. 

The man poked Nobu with his words. "I'm willing to share that information with you but you have to pay a price."

Nobu's eyes narrowed as he tried to make sense of the situation. Who was this person and what did he know about Miona Ramia? He hesitated for a moment but his curiosity got the better of him.

"What kind of information?" He asked in his voice, firm but cautious.

The voice on the other end chuckled again. 

"Just let me say that I have some info…compromising about Ramia." The man said.

"I have some solid Information that could change everything in your life and you think you know about her."

Nobu's heart began to race as he wondered what kind of information this person could be talking about. Was it something about her past? Her relationships? His mind was racing with various possibilities.

"What do you want in return for the information?" Nobu asked. 

His voice was firm but he controlled it.

The voice on the other side laughed again.

"Oh I think you'll be willing to pay whatever price I demand once you hear what I have to say. The unknown man asked. 

"But if you're interested then I'll meet you at the old clock tower at midnight. Come alone."

The line went dead from the other side and Nobu was left staring at his phone in confusion. Who was this person and what kind of information did he have? He couldn't shake off the feeling that his life was about to change forever.

As Nobu sat in his car he was thinking about Ramia. "Was she really married?" He looked confused. "Was there something in her past that she was hiding from him?"

He felt a Shiver fall down his spine as he realized that he knew so little about her personal life.

And then he reached the clock tower at midnight. He was thinking and wondered what kind of information this person had and what he would be willing to do to get it?
