Chapter 252 Allen took a step closer to me, and I instinctively stepped back.
He chuckled, saying, "Be my girlfriend." I froze for a moment but then let out a mocking laugh. "Mr. Clark, cracking such a joke this early isn't very appropriate, especially since you know..." "I'm not joking," Allen cutoff, "Only my girlfriend gets to meet my dad." His words madestiffen. This was clearly a way to pressure me.
I should've known my uneasy feeling was for a reason.
"You probably don't know, but my dad is a suspicious guy, trusts no one, especially now with his status, there's too many people trying to get close with ulterior motives. So, to avoid wasting his energy, he doesn't meet anyone outside the family," Allen explained in detail, but I knew this was just an excuse.
"Also, lettalk about myself. I was smitten the moment I saw you. I know I have a reputation and have dated quite a few girls, but those were just flings, nothing serious. Marrying them? I wouldn't want to, and neither would my dad," Allen said, laughing at himself.
He must've felt quite shameless.

I had to admit, he seemed genuine.
Just half an hour ago, another rich playboy was after me, and now here's Allen.
When it rains, it pours, it seems.
But just last night, I'd made things official with Ernest. Now, I wondered if Ernest was the catalyst for all this.
"Mr. Clark, I appreciate your sincerity and your misplaced affection, but I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend," I was straightforward with my rejection.
Allen laughed. "That's a bit of a lazy excuse, don't you think? I asked Jefferson at the basketball game; he said you were single." "That was until last night," I retorted.
Allen smirked. "Convenient, huh?" I just smiled.
"How about this? Nyour price. What will it take for you to agree?" Allen pressed on.
Very much in line with his flamboyant character.
I didn't respond, and Allen continued, "If you agree, you'll be Mrs. Clark and the lady of Nexon Co. I'd transfer all my assets under your nwhen we marry, not just that, but also..." "Mr. Clark, did you forget who my ex-fiance is?" I cut him off this time.
Allen was temptingwith his wealth, but compared to the Wagner family, it still fell short.
Allen's expression stiffened before he smiled again, "That's exactly what I like about you. You're not swayed by wealth." "So, Mr. Clark, I think it's best you look for someone else. I'm truly not the right fit," I expressed my stance sincerely.
Allen looked down, staying quiet for a bit. Then he looked up and said, "You're the first to reject me." "It's not about rejecting you. We're just not suitable for each other. Mr. Clark, you made it clear, you want. someone to share your life, manage your hand business. But I," my thoughts drifted to Susie and her idyllic life.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I yearn for a simple life, just the two of us, which your status makes impossible," I said with a smile.
A smile is the most genuine form of communication, more powerful than a thousand words.
Allen, though not much for manners, I was sincere, and I had to respond in kind, especially since I needed his help without wanting to upset him. However, he didn't reply, leaving my heart hanging.
I sighed, deciding to clear the air.
