An hour later, the driver picked Elliot up from the airport.
Once Elliot got in the car, the driver asked, “Mr. Foster, where to?”
Elliot rubbed the area in between his brows.
He pondered for a while before saying, “To the office!”
The driver said, “Okay.”
After driving off, the driver looked at Elliot’s face through the rearview mirror.
Coincidentally, Elliot saw him doing that, so he asked, “What’s going on?”
“Mr. Foster, when I was sending Miss Tate back, she was talking to someone on the phone.
They were in a fight.” The driver hesitated for a while before saying to Elliot, “The person on the other
end said that you didn’t propose to Miss Tate.
You missed out on a step.
Miss Tate was so furious her face flushed.
She even hung up on the other person.”
Avery constantly bickered that way with Mike, but it was the first time the driver had witnessed this, so he
thought that Avery was feeling extremely aggrieved.
On top of that, the driver exaggerated his words, which caused Elliot to think that Avery was feeling
aggrieved.
Since other people were mocking Avery for not being proposed to, he should just propose to her during
the Memorial Day weekend, right?
At that thought, Elliot immediately started planning his proposal.
However, he had never proposed to someone beedfore.
He was inexperienced, so he decided to tap into the hiveminds.
He opened the chat group and sent a text.
[Elliot: I plan on proposing to Avery during the Memorial Day weekend, do you guys have any good
suggestions?]
[Ben: Haven’t you two already decided on the engagement date? Why do you need to do the extra step
of proposing?]
90[Chad: Mr. Foster just wants to be romantic, right? Proposing in May, getting married in June, it sounds
great.]
[Jun: I proposed to Tammy with the help of my family while on holiday. I just decorated the hotel room
then prepared some good lighting and filled it with roses and put on some flirty music. Then, I tricked her
into the room and knelt on one knee, taking the ring out. She cried because it was just too romantic!)
[Elliot: Isn’t that just too cliche?]
[Ben: Cliche indeed.]
[Chad: Yes.)
(Jun: But Tammy cried! She said that she was super moved!]
[Elliot: Which is why you two are married.]
(Ben: Haha!)
(Chad: Mr. Foster, are you planning to propose outside or at home?]
[Jun: Hmph. Elliot wants a special proposal. He would surely do it outside! If he proposed at home, it
would be just as cliche as mine.]
(Elliot: Then, I’ll do it outside!]
Ben, Chad, and Jun were speechless.
Elliot was such a prideful person.
Would he not feel embarrassed?
Elliot saw how they stopped responding.
He calmed down.
He considered the consequences of proposing in public.
He found it unbearable, so he quickly added, [I’ll book a venue outside.]
Ben, Chad, and Jun were once again speechless.
What was the difference between booking a venue outside and proposing at home?
Ben was much bolder.
He asked Elliot this question.
Elliot replied, (If it’s outside, I could hire the best pianist, then hire the best lighting specialist to deal with
the lights. Then, I could hire the best chef to make a good meal.I can’t do that at home.)
Ben, Chad, and Jun were stunned! Sure enough, this was Elliot’s style.
[Ben: Do you need our help?]
[Elliot: To be third wheels? She has already agreed to marry me. The proposal is just another form of us
on a date.) After a moment, Elliot texted, (This is a secret between us. I want to give her a surprise.]
