The Spoiled Girl - Chapter 1584 The Sudden Proposal
While the party was going on, not a single soul noticed how Yanis was behaving in front of Xandria. They were all busy having a good time, so who could blame them? But when he placed down his glass and grabbed her hand, there was no way the people around them wouldn’t notice anymore. All eyes were on them, and Xandria knew it was already too late to pull away.
Even with so much attention on them, Yanis couldn’t look away from Xandria’s gorgeous face.
The embarrassment was too much for Xandria to bear. Deep inside her heart, she wanted to run away. But the hand that was grabbing her held on like glue.
To make matters worse, the crowd was too big to cause a scene on such a momentous night. She didn’t want to ruin the good time that everyone was having, especially with her status as the lead actress. All her actions, no matter how big or small, could inevitably ruin her reputation bit by bit.
After a few minutes of silence, the crowd started to whisper among themselves. Yanis excitedly called everyone’s attention again by clinking the back of a fork against his wine glass.
In a matter of seconds, the crowd quieted down and stared in anticipation at the stage. Yanis cleared his throat, and then grabbed something from behind his back. Slowly and nervously, he took out a small black box the size of a ping pong ball.
‘What? Is it an engagement ring?’
One of Yanis’ dearest fans, who was sitting in the front row, asked the girl beside her. When everyone heard her question, the crowd’s eyes widened in shock. Feeling restless, they simply stared at Xandria and waited to see what kind of show the director and lead actress would give them.
All of a sudden, Yanis knelt on one knee and opened the small box in his hand. When the light hit the diamond ring, it dazzled everyone’s eyes.
Xandria didn’t need an explanation to know what was going on. But still, it was hard for her to believe that something like this was actually happening right in front of her. At that moment, three questions popped up in her mind. ‘Oh my god! What should I do?
Why is Yanis proposing to me with such a big diamond ring?
This has to be a joke, right?’
“Xandria, I know I look a little foolish right now. But since tonight is such a wonderful evening, I thought this would be the best time to tell you how much I truly love you. From the first moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew you were the one. This ring in my hand will be a reminder that I have loved you for 369 days. Will you accept my love for you?” Yanis lovingly said.
“Oh my God! H
ctor offered you that ring.”
When they arrived at the ground floor, Xandria walked out of the elevator and just stared at a street light outside. Before the elevator doors closed, Ray comforted her again, “Don’t worry about it! I’m sure you’ll get used to these kinds of things. You have to, given that things like this will happen more to you in the future. Just think of it as being part of the job, okay?”
Right after Ray’s words, Xandria went out for a walk nearby. The fresh air lightened up her mood. Because of that, she decided to go back to the party.
“Hey, Xandria. Why are you still here?”
“I thought you went home already?” Two girls near the door asked Xandria as soon as she entered. When a few more people heard the two, they looked towards the door and that alone caught everyone’s attention. Xandria knew that if she hadn’t saved the director’s reputation, she would’ve been kicked out of the entertainment industry already. But the fact that they would turn her kind gesture against her gave her the drive to fight back.
“I just went to the bathroom to fix my makeup. What are you talking about?” Xandria confidently replied.
She wouldn’t just idly stand by while the producer and Yanis pretty much blackmailed her because of the things she had said earlier. She knew that if she were to publicize her TV series, which showed her amazing skills as an actress, a lot of other popular producers and directors would come after her. If that happened, she wouldn’t have to stay with them anymore. With that in mind, she forced herself to socialize with everyone.
Suddenly, she felt someone staring at her while she was walking around the room. ‘Could it be Yanis? Is he upset with me or something?’ Xandria thought.
When it was almost morning, people started leaving one by one. Ray and Xandria followed suit and said goodbye to Yanis.
While on their way home, Ray asked, “Don’t you realize how much the director loves you? I can’t believe you don’t want to be with him. If I’m being honest, I find Yanis to be a lot more handsome than Perrin. And besides, you have a lot more in common with the director, right?”
