Weren’t they about to start fighting? How did things change so drastically in just a few minutes?

Marie glanced at Stella and hissed, “Huh? You think Derrick, that bastard, is up to something shady?”

Of course he is.

Otherwise, how could someone change so fast? Marie didn’t buy it not at all.

Stella nodded. “Yeah, definitely something shady.”

Just within one hour.

He knew Derrick was right there and still said it on purpose.

Wasn’t he clearly trying to make Derrick think she, Marie, had stolen those documents to give to Dan?

At the mention of Dan, Stella didn’t even know what to say.

Thankfully, Marie still had her wits about her and didn’t fall for it just because of what Dan said.

Stella, worried Marie might start fantasizing, again, threw in one more blow. “He’s the guy you used to like.”

Marie’s brow twitched. “Exactly. Was I blind back then? How did I fall for someone like

Stella asked, “So if Derrick wants to marry you tomorrow, would you go through with it?”

It was Marie who’d brought up the idea in the first place, and Derrick had been pretty riled up at the time.

Who would’ve guessed that the moment her back was turned, he’d suddenly agree?

That shift-it was unreal.

Could she really marry him?

Sure, they’d both gone at each other hard during their arguments. But now that Derrick was the one proposing…
