Chapter 883: Chapter 883: Does Boss Like Me Now?
After speaking, Arnold looked at Mark, adding in his heart: Boss, maybe you really do like me a little, right?
But even if you still don’t like me, I will obey any order you give me. After all, if it’s not you, what does it matter who I get engaged to?
Besides, I’m far from hitting a wall or seeing a coffin, am I not?
Mark looked joyfully at the obedient girl in front of him.
Looking at her dewy lips, he unexpectedly...
Mark felt flustered. He didn’t know when it all started, but this little thing had somehow walked step by step into his heart and taken residence there.
Suddenly realizing his feelings, Mark was somewhat at a loss.
He looked at Arnold and said, "As long as you’ve heard it, that’s fine. I’m leaving now," and hurried away.
The way he left, it really looked like he was fleeing in defeat.
Arnold watched Mark leave, then calmed her heart that had risen from the depths and was beating wildly, and returned to her room.
Afterward, Arnold threw herself onto the big bed.
She hugged her huge stuffed bear tightly, with her mind full of Mark’s slight leaning movement before he left.
What did the boss want to do?
Could it be that he wanted to kiss her?
Arnold used the stuffed bear’s paw to hit her cheek, muttering to herself, "Arnold, what are you even thinking? The boss doesn’t like you at all, how could he possibly want to kiss you?"
But, but...
Arnold looked at the stuffed bear and seriously asked, "But why did the boss just say not to let me get engaged? If the boss doesn’t like me, why does he care whether I get engaged or not?"
The stuffed bear couldn’t give Arnold the answers she wanted.
Arnold frowned in frustration, rolling around on the bed with the stuffed bear in her arms.
Never mind whether the boss really likes her a little; just her arranged marriage with Ethan Sterling was already giving her a headache.
She promised the boss not to get engaged to Ethan, but her engagement with Ethan was already set, decided by Elder Moore!
What’s more serious, both families have already agreed!
If she reneges now, aside from what Elder Moore would think, just Ethan...
"Ah!..." Arnold continued to roll around on the bed in distress, murmuring constantly, "What to do? What to do? Can someone tell me what I should do?"
As she murmured, Arnold suddenly lit up with the thought of someone.
"Look at me, how could I have forgotten about her!" Arnold stopped rolling, muttering as she found her phone to call her friend and confidante.
Arnold’s friend and confidante is named Natalie Gibson, twenty-two years old, the same age as Arnold.
She and Arnold have been classmates from kindergarten to high school, and their relationship has always been very good; they are the kind of steadfast friends who share everything with each other.
Though their hobbies and ambitions differ, after high school, Arnold went to military school for Mark, while Natalie went to S Country to study design for someone else.
Even though they were not in the same country, they never lost touch.
And now Natalie is back.
Arnold’s call was quickly answered by Natalie.
Hearing the call connect, not waiting for Natalie to speak, Arnold anxiously said, "Hey, Ruby, quickly give me some advice. What should I do?"
As soon as Arnold finished her words, Natalie’s cheerful voice followed, "My dear lady, I can give you advice, but you must first tell me what the matter is, right?"
Arnold suddenly slapped her head and immediately began, "Here’s the thing, I’m supposed to get engaged to Ethan, right? But today my boss came to see me, told me not to get engaged to Ethan, and I agreed. But..."
Having explained everything, Arnold immediately asked, "Ruby, what do you think I should do?"
Knowing all of Monica’s secrets, Natalie naturally knows that Monica has adored her hero since childhood, and that hero is her current boss.
Natalie also knows that the engagement was not something Arnold wanted, but was due to circumstances.
Now hearing that Arnold’s boss had come over and stopped Arnold from getting engaged to Ethan, Natalie was immediately delighted for Arnold.
"What else can you do? Of course, listen to your boss and don’t get engaged to Ethan!" Natalie said matter-of-factly.
After saying that, Natalie added, "Norah, are you silly! Your boss specially came to ask you not to get engaged to Ethan. What does that mean?"
Arnold held her breath, nervously asking, "What does it mean?"
"Really such a fool!" Natalie assessed, then elaborated her view, saying, "If your boss came over and stopped you from getting engaged to Ethan, it only means he’s had a revelation and definitely already likes you."
After that, Natalie helped Arnold with some advice, saying further, "In that case, you should quickly and resolutely refuse the arranged marriage by your elders and be with your hero..."
Arnold found it hard to believe and needed her friend’s affirmation and encouragement, "Is that so? Could the boss really have possibly fallen in love with me?"
Natalie spoke without hesitation, with absolute certainty, "Nonsense! Our Norah is so cute, so outstanding, how could anyone not like her unless they’re blind or slow... No, even if they’re blind or slow, they’d surely like her."
Arnold face-palmed, "Ruby, are you exaggerating?"
"Exaggerating, no way? You’re truly not aware?" Natalie asked, suddenly curious.
Arnold foolishly asked, "Aware of what?"
Natalie laughed and said in a mock-serious tone, "If I weren’t a girl and hadn’t found someone I like, I’d absolutely fall head over heels in love with you!"
Arnold shivered slightly, "Ruby, hush up, you’ve given me goosebumps all over."
"Haha..." Natalie laughed heartily, "Alright, I’m just kidding."
Then she continued her inquiry, "How about it, Norah? Are you thrilled that the boss you’ve always had a crush on blocked the engagement?"
"Yes, I’m thrilled, exceptionally thrilled." Arnold replied honestly, not hiding her feelings.
Following that, without waiting for Natalie to speak, Arnold added, "And Ruby, you know what? I’ve regained my determination to hit the wall and see the yellow river."
"Then go for it, no matter what happens, I’ll support you," Natalie said loyally, and with utmost certainty added, "Believe me, Norah, your hero boss definitely likes you now!"
