Critic novel Chapter 66

We had a little celebration for Trish. She has to feel that we are taking care of her. So she would stay at the company and trust us over her career. Franco came over after his work at the Archi Firm to join the party. We are at Drake's office while other's are at the hall dancing and drinking. One bottle is enough for me and Franco. Lying at the couch, Franco as my pillow, sounds picture perfect.

"How was the Firm?" I asked just to trigger Franco to talk.

"We are busy finalizing some designs. My Boss is pushing me so hard to finish on schedule. You know I hate that when somebody is rushing me."

"That sucks. Well you can be your own Boss. You already have the money to start your own firm."

"I know. It is just not my priority right now. And I'm not confident enough to do so. I don't want to lose my savings in case the company gets bancrupt or if it didn't work out, you know! I'm already here at the top of my dreams. I just need to maintain it.

"You can do more. Just don't think negatively. I am here to support you anyway. And besides you are an asset to your company, by that you should know that you are more of a leader than a follower. That's also the reason why your mind unconsciously tells you that you deserve more." His face light up hearing this encouraging words from me.

"I know I deserve more. That's why I deserve you! He whispered tickling my ear.

"Stop patronizing me. I'm serious, we should be serious with regards to business Franco. This is your future and possibly mine too."

"How about we talk about the future. How about we talk about us." Serious aura is drwn to his face. "How about you marry me!" I looked at him directly with my eyes asking for an answer. "Are you serious? Are you proposing right now?" His eyes were sincere and twinkling with hopefulness.
