After lunch, Jane’s originally pleasant mood was ruined by the two women, Beatrice and Melissa. “Grandpa, you stay at the old mansion. Patrick and I will leave first,” Jane said to Tony with little enthusiasm after finishing their meal.
Tony was only staying in the country for a few days before continuing his world tour after attending the engagement ceremony. Therefore, Jane arranged for him to stay at the Pansy Residence as per Mike’s request.
“Okay.” Tony nodded with a smile.
Despite Beatrice and Melissa’s constant harassment of Jane, as long as Patrick was there to protect her, it would be enough. Moreover, he believed that his precious granddaughter had the ability to deal with these difficult women.
Leaving the Pansy Residence, Jane got into Patrick’s car. “Can you take me back to the Water Moon Community? I feel a bit tired and want to rest,” she said.
“What happened? Are you okay?” Patrick asked with concern in his eyes.
Jane smiled. “I’m fine; just feeling a bit tired.”
“Hmm.” Patrick uttered a monosyllabic sound, nodding slightly. He escorted Jane back to the Water Moon Community and then returned to the Pansy Group to work.
Jane was about to take her afternoon nap when she received Maria’s call.
Did that Waylen guy bother Maria again?
“What is it?” Jane answered the phone curiously.
“Jane, come see us at the company quickly,” Maria sounded urgent on the other end of line.
Jane’s heart skipped a beat, “What happened?”
“That Prince Joseph has created quite an uproar…” Maria continued speaking over phone, “There are roses all over our company entrance along with banners asking for your love! There is even an honor guard! Many reporters are here too! Osborn is currently arguing with him.”
“Ahh?” A headache began forming in Jane’s head.
What on earth is Joseph doing?
Didn’t she make herself clear already?
“Alright then; I’ll be right there,” replied coldly by saying this sentence over phone call.
When Jane arrived outside Star Entertainment’s main gate as described by Maria earlier, it really was quite an uproar!
The area around the company was filled with delicate and alluring blue fairies, arranged in various beautiful patterns. In the center were several large characters that read, “Jane, I love you!”
Several buildings nearby had banners hung up, displaying various declarations of love to Jane.
The prince truly lived up to his title…
However, the more intense the situation became, the more Jane felt a headache. Reporters surrounded Prince Joseph and scrambled to interview him.
“Prince Joseph, when did you meet Miss North? Was it love at first sight?” A reporter pointed his microphone at Joseph.
“Yes,” Prince Joseph nodded without hiding his admiration for Jane. “I met Miss North at a party in France and fell in love with her at first sight. Jane is my goddess, and I love her.”
“How romantic! But Your Highness, have you heard that Miss North is Mr. Pansy’s fiancée? They are having an engagement ceremony next weekend. What do you think about this?” The reporter asked again.
“Oh, I know,” Joseph shrugged with a smile on his face. “It’s just an engagement ceremony; nothing serious yet. As long as she’s not married yet, she’s single and I have the right to pursue her.”
When Jane arrived at Star Entertainment, all she heard was what Joseph had said.
Was he crazy?
Didn’t she make it clear to him before? She was Patrick’s fiancée; they were deeply in love with each other. What kind of trouble was he trying to stir up?
“Miss North has arrived!” A sharp-eyed reporter spotted Jane and shouted excitedly.
As soon as the words were spoken, reporters swarmed towards Jane like bees around honeycomb, pointing their cameras and microphones towards her.
“Miss North, what is your relationship with Prince Joseph? He fell in love with you at first sight; how do you feel about this?”
“Does Mr. Pansy know that Prince Joseph is pursuing you? Will it affect your engagement ceremony next week?”
“Miss North will you choose Prince Joseph over Mr. Pansy or even play both sides since there were rumors of your involvement with Osborn before?”
Jane frowned deeply, “My engagement ceremony will proceed as planned between me and Patrick. Please don’t make any malicious speculations.”
With that said, Jane pushed past reporters directly asking security guards to stop them from following her further.
“Jane! You finally came into work!” As soon as he saw Jane arrive, Joseph’s eyes lit up brightly filled only by joyous affection for her.
He had been waiting for half a day already but hadn’t seen any sign of Jane until now.
“This is a surprise I prepared for you, do you like it?” Joseph said as he pulled out a bouquet of roses and got down on one knee to hand them to Jane.
Jane was shocked. “Surprise? More like scare!” she thought. “You better get up,” she said as she reached out to help him up.
Joseph stood up and looked deeply into Jane’s eyes. “Jane, do you not like roses? Tell me what you do like, anything at all, even if it’s the moon in the sky, I will find a way to get it for you!”
Jane took a deep breath. “Come with me,” she said as she led Joseph into the meeting room at Star Entertainment and pointed towards the couch. “Sit.”
Joseph sat down but his gaze never left Jane’s face. This girl was so captivating; every move she made stirred something inside him.
“Joseph, let’s talk.” Jane sat down next to him and spoke in a serious tone.
“OK!” Joseph nodded eagerly.
“I think you should know about my relationship with Patrick,” Jane began slowly. “We’re getting engaged next week.”
“I know that,” Joseph replied but his eyes dimmed slightly when he heard her obvious rejection of him.
As a prince with handsome looks, Joseph was considered the national heartthrob in France; young girls were crazy about him everywhere he went. But none of those girls had ever caught his attention until Michelle’s birthday party where he met Jane, beautiful, confident and radiant, who shot an arrow straight through his heart!
He had come all this way from Europe just to tell her that he loved her! He wanted to pursue her and make her his queen!
