Tom Fritz was waiting for her answer. Agnes looked up at him, his deep eyes always serious, not at all like he was joking. She averted her gaze, thought for a moment, and then put away her playful expression. After a while, she looked up again and found that he was still watching her.
Agnes’s gaze became a bit solemn. “Even a fake engagement requires both parents to be present, right?”
Tom Fritz realized that this matter wasn’t easy. Even if she agreed, what about her parents? However, Agnes didn’t dislike him. She didn’t know why, but although she wasn’t familiar with this man and had only met him a few times, she always felt a kind of soul recognition towards him. He left a very good impression on her. So when he encountered difficulties, she wanted to help him.
“Forget it, I’ll handle the parents.” Agnes looked up at him. “I agree.”
Tom Fritz gazed deeply at her, as if trying to discern whether she was serious or joking. “What do you need me to do?” the girl asked honestly. “What preparations do I need to make?”
Confirming that she was indeed agreeing, Tom Fritz first thanked her and then asked, “State your requirements first. You write the agreement; I’ll sign it without needing to discuss it with me.”
“No need for that. As long as we both understand,” Agnes didn’t want to extort money from him; she purely wanted to help him.
“My mom invited you to have dinner at our home tonight.”
“…”
Agnes was initially shocked but then thought it made sense. “Is there any special etiquette I should be aware of?”
Tom Fritz thought for a moment and said to her, “I should take you to try on a dress first. This is the first time my family will meet you; the first impression is quite important.”
“Do I also have to meet the girl your grandmother arranged for you?”
“Yes, she’s at our house,” Tom Fritz told her. “Her name is Lisa; she’s young, beautiful, and has an impressive resume.”
Agnes tilted her head and looked at him. “What if I can’t beat her?”
“With me here, don’t worry,” the man smiled. “As long as you agree to help with this favor, my approval can outweigh everyone else’s in the family, and my mom is on my side.”
“What about your dad?”
“The hardest one to deal with is my grandmother.”
Soon, Agnes got into Tom’s car. Sitting in the passenger seat, she turned to look at his profile and felt an indescribable sensation.
Her Mr. Cat should be as excellent as he was-gentlemanly and warm like jade.
“Let me tell you about myself first.” Tom glanced at her and found the girl staring intently at him.
“Alright, go ahead,” she withdrew her gaze.
Then Tom told her about his basic situation-some important experiences, his role in the company, personality traits, and hobbies-to give her a basic understanding of him.
As a girlfriend, she couldn’t know nothing about her boyfriend, right? He also talked about his family situation-the relationships between people, their interaction patterns, and the atmosphere…
Agnes listened attentively and felt quite envious because he grew up in an extremely loving environment. That’s why he had such a gentlemanly demeanor.
The car headed towards a private custom shop. Tom Fritz made a call from the car. “I’m bringing my fiancee over to try on dresses.”
The girl sitting in the passenger seat suddenly turned around and looked again at his flawless profile!
She still wasn’t used to being called fiancee.
After hanging up the phone, Tom Fritz turned to look at her. “The engagement must happen; otherwise, my grandmother won’t let me return to the lab. You will eventually be my fiancee.”
