Chapter 1203  Being Spontaneous

"So, is she pregnant?" asked Raelle as she looked at Cloe who was telling her the story of how she went to Soren's house and encountered such an exciting situation.

Cloe looked at the menu screen in front of her and asked, "What do want to drink?"

"Whatever," replied Raelle. "Don't change the topic."

"Let me order first," said Cloe and turned to the attendant as she ordered, "One iced caramel macchiato and one pumpkin spice latte. Thank you!" After ordering she turned back to Raelle and told her, "So, it turns out. She isn't pregnant."

"So much drama. All for nothing in the end?"

Cloe chuckled at her words and nodded, "You can say it was all for nothing."

"Wasted so many tears over this. Tsk. What a loss for Cui Xuqing," said Raelle.

Cloe didn't think she'd react this way. In fact, she didn't think Raelle would even be interested in listening to all of this. But she really wanted to share so she pulled Raelle out of the office to get something to drink.

Cloe took their order and went to sit with Raelle at an empty table. Raelle took a sip of the iced caramel macchiato that she ordered for her and said, "So, was she thrilled to know that she wasn't pregnant?"

"No. She was so disappointed," replied Cloe. "I mean seeing how she was crying, one would think she was very against the idea of having another kid but when her conjectures didn't come true, she was so bummed. Just looking at her, I felt sad. But one person was having it even worse."

"Soren."

Cloe nodded her head, "Yup. It's him. I think if I wasn't at their home, he'd have literally cried because they couldn't look forward to another kid."

"They can just plan for another child," said Raelle.

"But that's the thing. They aren't actively looking for another kid. But if it was true this time, it was considered an accident and they'd just go along with."

"Why did she think she was pregnant then?"

"She missed her periods. But the doctor said that's too normal considering she had been working late and was under too much stress. That's why her cycle was messed up. And home pregnancy tests are not always right."

"Poor Soren suffered because of a misunderstanding."

Cloe laughed, "But I'm happy about it. It made me see Soren Ke on his knees looking so pitiful."

"You enjoyed yourself a lot, eh?"

"Very."

Raelle looked at the people around and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

"To let you taste something new."

"I'm pretty sure I've had plenty of iced caramel macchiato before."

Cloe shook her head at her, "Fine. I want you to consider building such a coffee shop in our new office building."

"I'm listening."

"So, currently we are in our rented building so I understand we kept things to a minimalistic level. However, we built such a huge building for our office. And now that it's being decorated, I was saying that we should add some recreational places. Just like we had in our HQ in Country G. We can't let our employees keep coming out to get their favorite drinks."

"Who put you up to this?" asked Raelle.

"No one."

"Then why are you even mentioning this to me?"

"Because I want a coffee shop inside. People like me who loves their coffee can't waste time on the road every single day. Just give us some break."

"It'll become a place to gossip."

"Gossip also gives some people motivation to work more efficiently."

"That's a messed up concept."

"You won't understand it," said Cloe. "Just listen to me. Aren't I your friend? I'm not speaking as your employee. I'm speaking as your friend. Listen to me."

"Make a plan and submit it for review. I'll look into it."

"Yes!"

"Shall we go back to the office now?"

"Sure," agreed Cloe and followed her out. "By the way, did I mention that since that incident, Kun has gone crazy. He is obsessed with having a kid now."

"With you?"

"Of course, who else?"

"Then I see nothing wrong with it."

"We aren't married," reminded Cloe.

"Maybe he wants to have a kid so that you can agree to marry him a little sooner."

"As if I'd refuse if he propose. The prerequisite is that he proposed! What's the point of playing around like this?"

"I can't say you're wrong either," said Raelle. "Then talk to him."

"Me?"

"If I can get on my knee for my husband, you can't even speak out your mind? What is wrong with you? Are you still so romantic and restrained after living with me for so long?"

Cloe went silent, "You said that to me before too."

"And you're still procrastinating."

"I'm not procrastinating. I'm just unable to find the right time to talk to him about it. Or do you think I should plan the proposal myself. Because as you told me to do so, I did ask myself. And it seems I'd love to spend my life with Kun. So, as you say, hesitating won't help any of us."

Raelle lifted her hand and just when Cloe thought she would pat her shoulder, Raelle actually used her finger to pat her shoulder making her lips twitch.

"What was that?" asked Cloe.

"My encouragement to you."

Cloe rolled her eyes before laughing out loud. "Your sense of humor is still the worst."

"Can't be worse than yours," said Raelle. "You should be glad with this much. Don't expect too much."

Cloe shook her head, "I don't dare to expect too much. This one finger pat is enough for me. After all, I got it after a decade. It also means I'm really considered a friend now." She smiled at Raelle, "How about you give me an idea for proposal?"

"Do you think I'm the right person for this?"

"You created a buzz with your proposal, so yeah!"

"My secret is just being spontaneous. Don't think too much. Just when you feel like this is the moment, go for it."
