"So, uh… I guess we're not so different," Meyer said. "We have the same principle about dedication and work."

"Mhm," Diamond nodded. "You and I are both workaholics who can't be bothered by our significant other."

"Be honest with me, Meyer. Do you think that a woman like me is undateable?" Diamond asked.

Mayer stared at Diamond for a while and replied, "You're gorgeous, Diamond. It's crazy to think that you're still single right now. Oh, do you know that all of Big boss' bodyguards said that they want to have a chance to talk to you in private like this."

"Really?"

"Yeah, all of my subordinates are into you," Meyer confirmed.

"Does that include you as well, Meyer?" Diamond grinned provocatively, and that caught Meyer off guard.

"I—Ah—uhh… well, I'm still a man, I love seeing a gorgeous lady," Meyer admitted. He got embarrassed and said, "Oh god, please forget what I said just now. That's so embarrassing."

Diamond chuckled amusedly, "It's fine. I don't find you and your confession repulsive anyway. You're actually quite cute."

Meyer was surprised by Diamond's words, "Y—You don't find it repulsive?"

"Not at all," Diamond said. "Are you surprised because I usually gave every man in the office a death stare?"

"Yes," Meyer replied. He remembered how Diamond got catcalled by many men in the office, and she would give them all a death stare.

? ? ? ? ? ?.

"No woman likes to get catcalled. But that doesn't mean we don't like to be genuinely complimented," Diamond said. "Anyway, I don't mind spending more time with you. Do you have anything in mind after we leave this restaurant?"

Meyer truly had no idea what they should do next.

He actually didn't expect the date to go so well. He thought he'd have the free fine dining and then leave.

Diamond frowned when she got no answer from Meyer, "Is that a no? Do you not want to continue this date? If so, then I will leave now."

Diamond got up and was about to leave, but Meyer quickly grabbed her wrist to stop her, "Wait! Diamond!"

Diamond turned her head towards Meyer and raised her brow, "What? I thought you're not interested in me."

"I'm very interested in you! I just—I just didn't expect this date to go so well, so I don't prepare anything after this," Meyer admitted. He gulped as his brain quickly tried to find a good date idea. "How about we uh… go to the cinema? I mean, it's not too late right now."

Diamond smiled, "Sure, let's go."

Meyer and Diamond continued their date to the cinema. They watched a random action movie because it was already quite late at night, and few options were available.

But they still enjoyed it, not because the movie was good, but because Meyer mustered his courage to hold her hands during the whole movie.

In fact, he was so engrossed with the idea of holding Diamond's hand. He couldn't focus on the movie at all. He felt like he was a teenager again. He was nervous even though holding hands should be casual for his age.

Diamond was also nervous. It had been a long time since the last time she had a good date with someone, and the fact that she felt nervous just because Meyer held her hand said a lot about her interest right now.

Once the movie ended, Meyer and Diamond glued themselves to their seats, not wanting to release their hands as they still wanted to spend more time but had no idea where to go next.

"Diamond, how about we—"

"Yeah, let's go to my apartment, Meyer."

Chloe and Vernon had just finished their visit to the obstetric for a pregnancy check up.

They were so happy the pregnancy was 100% confirmed, and Chloe was also in good health. She just needed to take care of her physical and mental health.

Chloe giggled the whole way to the penthouse because she was so happy with the result of her pregnancy, but other than that, she was also happy that Diamond and Meyer must be having a good time right now.

She didn't know to what extent they would go tonight, but her gut feeling told her that Diamond and Meyer had hit it off.

Vernon followed her from behind as they entered the penthouse. He closed the penthouse door and quickly hugged Chloe from behind.

"My love, I'm so happy with the result," Vernon said. He kissed Chloe's head a few times as he didn't know how to express his happiness.

It was the type of happiness that made him want to explode.

"I'm going to be a dad, it's all thanks to you, Love."

"No, it's all thanks to you, because you're the one who let me feel safe and secure. You let me gain weight after I was dangerously thin," Chloe said. "You don't know how much I feel indebted to you, Vernon."

"I don't want you to stay just because you feel indebted to me," Vernon said. He got a little anxious, thinking that Chloe might leave him when she felt the debt had been paid.

"Of course, I didn't stay because I feel indebted," Chloe sighed. "If I do, I'd be asking you if there's a way to pay my debts. Stop being so insecure, Vernon. You know that you're my man for now and forever. Though, it depends on yourself, do you want me to be your woman?"

Vernon tightened his arms around Chloe's waist to deepen his bear hug and replied, "You're asking the obvious. I want you to be my woman for the rest of my life."

…

"You know what, even if I die first, I still won't allow you to remarry," Vernon insisted. He became jealous, thinking he might die first and Chloe would marry another man. "You're not allowed to find another man if I die. You're still mine even if I'm six feet under, and we will be husband and wife again in the after life."
