Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 137

He was eager to get things wrapped up so he could pop the question at her.

There was a silence on the other end of the call before he heard Leila say, "Mr. Meyer, what do you mean?"

"Leila, can you stop calling me Mr. Meyer? Don't forget, you're not just my secretary; you're my girlfriend; we're not at the office." Ethan raised his voice slightly, looking exasperated. His girlfriend was truly a hard nut to crack, still addressing him formally after being together for so long.

"It's just a title; why are you so hung up on it? I think Mr. Meyer suits you perfectly." Leila pouted, muttering complaints. She just couldn't figure out men. It was just a title; what's the big deal? Calling him "Mr. Meyer" made her feel unique; it brought her a subtle sense of happiness.

"So, after we're married, are you still going to call me Mr. Meyer?" Ethan quirked an eyebrow.

Leila paused before asking, "Are you proposing to me?"

"If you think a proposal is too cliché, we can skip that part and go straight to getting married." Ethan joked.

"No way, you never courted me, and now you want to skip the proposal? I won't agree."

Leila didn't hesitate to refuse. She felt hard done by. She had been made his girlfriend without warning, and in three years, she hadn't received a single flower. She worked with him every day, with little time off.

The image of him on one knee proposing had already formed in her mind, and just thinking about it made her happy.

"What are you planning to call me then?"

Leila chuckled a bit, then seriously said, "Maybe I'll still call you Mr. Meyer, or just by your first name. But I'm not going to call you 'dear' or anything cheesy like that."

"Leila, why are you so stubborn?" Ethan lay down on the bed, phone in one hand, the other resting behind his head. He looked very casual.

But then he just laughed. This chick had come a long way since she started working for him. Back then, she was always frosty and had no sense of humor.

Leila rolled her eyes, feeling like he was getting annoyed with her. "I'm not yours yet; we can break up any time. There are plenty of guys who like me; you can always find a new Mrs. Meyer."

"No going after Aaron." Ethan's tone dropped a few notches, feeling that Aaron was a major threat. With him around, the uncertainty was too high.

"Well, that depends on how you perform."

"Leila, did you call just to piss me off?" Ethan was grinding his teeth. Where did the dull girl he first met go? Why is she always trying to get on his nerves now?
