The absurdity of matching social status!
Was it a crime to come from a good home now?
"Whatever he can offer you, I can match it," Jeffrey's voice was a low rumble that filled with a tired rage that seemed to have no outlet, "Stop going on these blind dates."
"He can marry me. Can you?"
Jeffrey was about to retort when Karen cut him off, "Don't tell me you can! Because I simply don't believe it! Jeffrey, how long have we even known each other? Just that one night—yes, we got intimate—but every other time, we've been at each other's throats! Now you come here saying you want to be my boyfriend and even marry me? How ludicrous is that? Listen to yourself. Do you believe your own words?"
That was true.
Even Jeffrey found it hard to believe.
What was he being so stubborn for? There were plenty of fish in the sea.
"You don't believe I'd marry you, do you?" Jeffrey made up his mind, "Fine, tomorrow. Tomorrow we'll go to city hall and make it official! We can deal with the details later. Will that make you believe?"
Looking up, he was met with Karen's shocked face.
"What are you even saying? Did you hear yourself?"
"I know what I'm saying, and I'm not out of my mind." Jeffrey ran his fingers through his hair, his brows furrowed persistently, "Get your ID, I'll pick you up tomorrow. What's the big deal about marriage? If I marry you, that's gonna be more reliable than your current date prospect, right?"
"Hold on, just hold on," Karen waved her hands.
She was flustered! The conversation with Jeffrey had taken such a bizarre turn!
This wasn't simply about rushing to the city hall, was it?
Their eyes locked, his features so handsome it was hard for Karen to utter another harsh word.
"I'm not playing games, really."
"I don't believe I have the qualities or the charm to make you stay devoted to me. Do you understand that?"
Despite Karen's seemingly carefree attitude, she was acutely aware of her own situation.
She didn't aspire to climb social ladders or invite trouble into her life. Her life plan was pretty clear.
Hearing her, Jeffrey's lips twitched, his gaze drifting to the new pink dress she wore, which he found so distasteful he wanted to rip it to shreds.
"So, you really have to go on this date today?"

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
