Chapter 845 A Forced Kiss Upon Jamie

At that moment, the phone atop the table rang. Elliot took a glimpse at it before scampering outside with it. “Who is it? Why is Mr. Brown in such a hurry?” Elise could not help the curiosity.

“Definitely, it’s not a guy,” Jamie analyzed. “He only smiles at Jack. As to explain why he is acting so suspicious that we wanna beat him, isn’t it obvious?”

As he had expected, Elliot soon returned while holding hands with a petite woman. Yet, an air of awkwardness stretched in the room the moment they discerned who the woman was. She was the person who imitated Elise’s works and sold them, Stephanie.

It was nothing more but Elliot’s one-sided crush when Elise left at that time. No one expected him to be this devoted until his feelings came to fruition.

Winona, who knew nothing, raised her glass to congratulate her boss for the good news. “Congratulations, Mr. Brown. I’m thrilled for you both. Our boss has finally settled down.”

He held and lifted Stephanie’s hand to break the news excitedly. “Taking this opportunity, I would like to announce some good news. Stephanie and I are getting engaged next month. We are going to build a family of our own!”

Stephanie smiled lightly; she was the same demure lady she was seven years ago. Just one single glance of her elicited one’s protective instinct.

If they were in the same picture seven years ago, they would seem like a childish teenage couple. However, they looked like the perfect match right now.

“Congrats.” Winona clapped his hands innocently.
