Chapter 200 - Proposals (2/2)
”Support? I am not supporting you. I want you to do it for me so when Lena sees her tomorrow, she'll see Stella's big ring and want one too!”
Collin rolled his eyes... and here he thought his buddy was giving him a push of motivation and courage to get on with the engagement. It was all for Kris' own good. ”You just dated... for like what? Three days... and you already want to put a ring on her?”
”So... it's just a ring. You can be engaged for a long time before you get married.” Kris replied. He was going to wait with going public or even anything after that, but it seems like it was true that more people will swarm over non-single ladies than when they are single.
”Yeah... that's what you think but after she gets the ring, she will start demanding for babies!” Collin suddenly raised his voice as the thought about Stella and him having a child.
”I don't care. Are you saying I will be a bad dad?” Kris asked.
”No... but what if you have a daughter?”
Kris looked up. He has not thought about that... what would happen then? He smiled. ”I want a baby.”
Collin pointed at Kris. ”Kris! You can't. You've only been dating for just a few days! You can't jump the gun!” Collin used his dad tone to advise Kris.
Kris grinned even wider. He got up from his head and started to walk out. Wouldn't his daughter with Lena just look like a mini Lena? He can hug two instead of one! He had never thought about that! It would be a big and easy accomplishment.
”Where are you going?” Collin interrogated.
”To do research.”
”Research? You don't need to do research. You spent a good ---” Collin stopped himself. It wasn't a good month at all for Kris that year. Collin had almost brought up a bad memory for Kris.
Kris stared at Collin. Collin could see a deep shade of darkness from Kris's eyes.
Kris blinked but then smiled. ”What were you thinking? Of course, I was going to do research on your bachelor's party.”
”Isn't Hugh hosting it?”
”No. He's banned for awhile. He had been meeting up with us too much in such a short amount of time.”
Kris opened his door and walked out a bit. ”Oh... but he did make sure to tell me to hire some str*ppers for your party.” Kris smirked and then slam the door shut.
Collin was going to yell but with the door open, they were still at work. He opened the door and saw that Kris was already inside the elevator. Collin knew that Kris has been happier than before, but some of his smiles are to hide the demons inside of him. He had never expected that Kris would fall in love.
And now lately, Kris' mind has been extra polluted with Lena. At that thought, Collin widened his eyes. Of course, how can he forget, he can advise Kris... but in reality, it might be Lena who may be pushing the gun.
He needed to call Stella. As a friend and someone that Kris looked up with respect, Collin does not really want to interfere with Kris and his love life. However, Kris was not normal. If Kris was not careful, he will eventually break Lena apart.
Collin: We need to talk.
Stella: Babe! I told u many times - don't use that phrase
Collin: Oh. Forgot.
Stella warned Collin before to not use the phrase ”We need to talk.” in a relationship because it was a very stressful phrase. In most relationships, it could be the start of a breakup. It makes the situation sound like something bad was going to happen or something overwhelming was going to get exposed.
We need to talk. Boom! Breakup, or move in with me, or let's get married.
We need to talk. KAPOW! I have cancer, I am pregnant, or I cheated on you.
Yeah... a woman hearing that phrase will explode her mind the entire day with questions, wondering what the man will say. And the other way around too.
Collin finished up his paperwork and task that Kris gave him. He delivered the rest of the work to his own workers.
”Simon, here are the paperwork for tomorrow's meeting. Make sure to get it compiled and cleaned up. ”
”Yes, Secretary Collin.” The man, Simon, grabbed the files from Collin. ”Uh... Can I also be invited to your stripper party?”
Collin scowl, grabbed the files back and scroll them and hit Simon with it. He tossed it back on Simon's desk and left. No wonder everyone was staring at him, it was because of what Kris said. What if Stella hears about this!!
