Chapter 1515 Shocking News
Edward considered the question for a moment before he answered hesitantly, "There was a blind date arranged for me, but the other party was not interested in me."
"Why would they have no interest in you?" Nicholas looked astonished and glanced at Edward curiously.
Edward scratched his head and replied awkwardly, "When the other party heard that I was just an assistant, they felt that I had no future prospects. Therefore, they refused the marriage."
"I bet you probably misinformed them on purpose." Nicholas immediately exposed Edward’s secret manipulation of the situation.
Edward laughed in embarrassment. "If I told them that I was your assistant, then I won't be able to see through their true character."
That was true. After all, it was important to marry a person for their good qualities.
Nicholas simply nodded in understanding and continued, "You're not young anymore. What plans do you have for your future? Should I ask my wife to introduce you to one of her friends?"
Upon hearing those words, Edward froze in surprise. The main reason was that he never expected his employer to suddenly pay attention to his personal affairs, much less his marriage.
Fortunately, he was an intelligent man. It did not take long for him to guess the other party's true intentions. "Did you hear about the incident between Mona and me?"
"I only learned about it yesterday. I can't believe how well you kept the secret. Tell me honestly. When did you develop feelings for Mona?" Nicholas couldn't resist teasing his subordinate.
Feeling extremely awkward and embarrassed, Edward hurriedly explained himself. "It's not what you're thinking."
"If it's not what I'm thinking, then what's the truth?" Nicholas persistently pressed.
Edward fell silent, not knowing how to answer the question. The scene of that night flashed through his mind.
That night, he brought Mona to a hotel nearby and helped to book a room for her. He originally planned to leave after making sure that she was settled in the hotel. Who could have known that she would suddenly go on a drunken rampage and prevent him from leaving by grabbing him? In fact, she even managed to bind his hands to the bed when he was distracted by her antics.
When he recalled that scene, he quickly stopped the flashbacks in his head.
At the same time, Nicholas could sense Edward's embarrassment and did not pursue the matter further. "If you don't want to talk about the incident, then forget it. How are the preparations for the wedding going?"
Edward breathed a sigh of relief when his employer changed the subject of conversation.
