Two hours later, the New Year's Eve dinner ended amidst laughter and joy. Everyone was full and satisfied.
The group then spent about fifteen minutes cleaning up the dining room together. Fletcher Knight and his wife were responsible for washing dishes, while Stout and Judge took Tasha to the courtyard to set off fireworks. Felicia went with Casey to join in on the fun.
"Billy, I'm so happy!" Harleen couldn't help but exclaim as she watched her family happily enjoying themselves. It was the happiest New Year's Eve she had experienced in years.
"Harleen, I promise that you will always be this happy from now on." Billy smiled and hugged Harleen tightly.
"Mm-hmm!" Harleen nodded slightly. "I believe you, husband!"
"What do you think of the capital city?" After watching fireworks for a while longer, Billy asked her suddenly.
"The capital city?" Harleen was slightly taken aback. "It's neither good nor bad. Why are you suddenly asking me this question?"
"If one day you were asked to live in the capital city, would you want to go?" Billy continued his questioning.
"What do you mean?" Harleen was confused again. "Billy, is there a change in your job? Are we going to move there soon?"
"Mm-hmm," Billy nodded his head before continuing, "There is a possibility of it happening but nothing has been confirmed yet. Even if I have to go eventually, it won't be several months later so I wanted your opinion first."
"Really? Then please put your work first, if we have no choice then let's go! The conditions in all aspects of life are better in the capital than Ozin, and that would benefit Tasha's growth as well. Don't worry too much about me, since we're officially married now I'll follow wherever my husband goes. As long as our family can stay together it doesn't matter where we go, as for my job I can always find another one when we get there."
"Harleen, you've finally established yourself at SunPark Group after working hard all these years, it'd be such a pity if you gave up your job now that everything is going smoothly."
"I might feel some regret or hesitation but compared with our family it isn't that important anymore. To me both your and Tasha are everything, anything else doesn't matter."
"Darling, there's something I've been keeping from you." Billy said with a smile before kissing Harleen on the forehead.
"You keep so many things from me!" Harleen rolled her. "So which one are you going to confess today?"
In the six months since they had met, she had only believed that Billy truly loved her and their home. Everything else was questionable. This husband of hers kept so many secrets!
Even the fact that he was the leader of SHADOW would have remained hidden if she hadn't discovered it herself in Shenford last time.
Billy's mouth twitched slightly before he continued speaking. "Actually, my relationship with Mr Hines is slightly closer than what I told you last time. I not only saved his life but also gave him some money as capital for his comeback. He didn't disappoint me and finally made World Group successful."
