Chapter 14

Regina walked briskly beside Giannis, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. She was still seething over what had happened earlier at the company, where he had proposed to her in front of everyone without even discussing it with her first. How dare he try to manipulate her like that? And in front of her employees and colleagues, no less. He couldn’t even give her a heads-up. She was just like some sort of deer caught in the headlights.

As they walked, Giannis kept glancing over at her, a concerned expression etched on his face. Finally, he spoke up. “Regina, I know you’re angry with me. And I understand why. But please, hear me out.”

Regina stopped walking and turned to face him, her eyes flashing with anger. “What do you have to say for yourself, Giannis? You embarrassed me in front of everyone at work today! How could you just spring up a proposal like that? The fact that I need a husband doesn’t mean that you have to be the one filling in that space for me, damn it!
