Alex and I have been dating for 3 years now, we starting dating during our final days at the University, he and Kylie had been my friends the longest, thou I met Alex during my University days. Just like today the day he officially asked me to be he's girlfriend was also as a surprise and of course planned by Kylie.
Alex is a tall and handsome guy in his late 20's he is the only son of his father, his father own a construction company where he took over immediately after he finished his studies. He comes from a well to do family his family is among the top 10 tiers in the country.
While me, I'm just Julia who was deprived the love of my father by my step mom who my dad married after the death of my mom, my gift stall was established with the money my mom left for me before she died, and since then I've been earning well before I got the job at the fashion designing company, one of the best and big company in the country.
A Proposal! on my birthday, then I heard someone whispered in my ears ""Happy birthday best friend"" my eyes was filled with tears as I stare at Kylie I was speechless, Boldly decorated on the wall was the inscription ""HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIA, WILL YOU MARRY ME"" I look down to see Alex kneeling with a diamond ring on his hands.
And he asked again "WILL YOU MARRY ME JULIA" I was speechless, I never saw this coming not that I didn't want to but I never expected this.
"YES ALEX, YES I WILL MARRY YOU" I blurted it out all at once with so much Joy!! I watch him insert the ring on my finger and stood up to hug me he whispered "Thank you" and I hugged him tightly.
1Month later
Time flies, feels like it was yesterday when I got this ring on my finger, Alex has been the sweetest fiance anyone could wish for, despite his busy schedule at work, he makes time to pick me from work everyday, we were already acting like newly wedded couples.
on our way home Alex clocked his fingers with mine kiss the back of my hands "Baby we will be have a family dinner at my house next weekend I would like to officially introduce you to my family, so I would want you to attend this dinner with me" instantly I felt nervous and my palm starts to sweat "are you nervous" he asked "No I'm not, I'm just....."
Alex, "no need to be scared, my family are lovable, and who wouldn't love a pretty queen like you?!, just hold on to me and I'll lead you through out the dinner"". He gave me all the assurance I needed and I felt warm inside. ""Okay I'll go with you"" I agreed to go with him, and I could see him smile.
The Week of the Dinner
Its Monday morning and as usual a busy day for all workers, I arrived work a bit late due to traffic, I went straight to the board room as we were to have staff meeting that morning, little did I know that the CEO will be present and will be the one leading the meeting. A lot had been said about the CEO and the only thing that could be summarize from all that have been said is that "The CEO is strict and can toss anyone out of the company for a little mistake".
I quickly went for the empty seat quitely to avoid too many attention on me but it was too late "Who are you?!" a deep voice echoed all over the room, the voice sent chills down my spine I quickly replied " I'm sorry I'm late My name is Julia, I'm from the designing department" without even looking up to know who's asking.
