Chapter 1372

Chase gave a slight smirk. “Oh? So you weren’t here for me. My bad, I must have misunderstood.”

With that, he brushed past her, heading for his office.

Belinda twisted her lips in frustration as her heart filled with anger and helplessness.

He absolutely did that on purpose.

How had she never noticed before that Chase was such a master of pretense?

Now there was nothing she could do. She’d have to wait for Jacob to finish work and then explain everything to him.

Sighing, Belinda headed off alone to the company’s cafeteria to wait.

The meeting went on for over two hours, ending just in time for lunch.

Employees flocked to the cafeteria to grab their meals. A few of Belinda’s close colleagues came over to say hi and

make some small talk.

Spotting Jacob entering the cafeteria, Belinda quickly finished her conversation with her colleagues and got up to

approach him.

Jacob, tray in hand, joined the lunch line, ignoring her.

Belinda gently tugged at his sleeve. “Jacob, let’s go out to eat something else. My treat!”

Jacob gave her a cold glance. “No need, I’ll just grab something here at the office; I have work to do later; I don’t

have time to go out.”

Embarrassed, Belinda let go of his sleeve. “Oh, I see. Well then, I’ll join you here so I won’t hold you up!”

Jacob ignored her and went to find an empty seat after getting his meal.

Like a child who’d done something wrong, Belinda followed him and sat down across from him, sincerely

apologizing, “Jacob, I’m sorry, I didn’t consider your feelings yesterday.”

Jacob took a big bite of his lunch, coldly chuckled, and sarcastically said, “You should be dining with Mr. Larios, not

me.”

Belinda was a bit embarrassed. “It’s not what you think! There’s really nothing going on between Chase and me.

We were only together yesterday because Chase and Ellinor are old friends, and we were discussing something

about Ellinor.

Err… I admit, I used to have a crush on him, but I gave up on him a long time ago. Since I agreed to date you, I’m

seriously committed to our relationship, really!”

After hearing Belinda’s long explanation, Jacob finally softened his gaze at her. He stayed silent for a while and then

said, “Belinda, if you’re really serious about us, why don’t we just get married?”

What?

Belinda thought she heard him wrong. “What did you just say?”

Jacob’s face returned to its usual gentle charm and he said seriously, “I said let’s get married. Belinda, only in

marriage can I feel secure, no longer worrying about you being taken away by other men.”

Get married?

Was Jacob proposing to her in the company cafeteria, over a work meal?

Wasn’t this a bit rushed?
