Catherine's POV
"You can't help me. I'm in charge of the seat arrangement for this launch. You don't know which of our guests is more important," I said with a little pride. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"I don't care about others. You just need to reserve six seats in the front row," said Blake.
"Why? I have already made the arrangement," I muttered. Blake was not here to help me. He was here to cause me trouble.
"Because those sitting in these seats will be more powerful than everyone else." After that, Blake began to name them, "I have already invited the Benjamin brothers, Howard, and Eda. And there's me and the kids."
I was stunned. I looked at him in disbelief. "Why will you be there?"
"You'll be the host. Shouldn't I show up, given that I'm your boyfriend? Besides, I'm sure the kids would love to see the results of their mommy's busy days at work." Blake's reasons were flawless.
I quickly explained, "I'm not saying that I don't want you to be there. I just felt that... I don't think you should be at a launch like this. After all, you are so famous."
Blake glanced at me and said, "Don't you want to make this launch as eye-catching as possible? I have invited my friends to cheer you on. Why are you saying that?"
Only then did I realize that poverty had indeed limited my imagination. Melinda was right. I did not know how to use my connections, and that was a big shortcoming.
"To be honest, I didn't dare to expect you to be here, so I didn't even tell you about the launch." I just realized how little experience I had in the workplace.
"Why?" Blake asked in confusion.
I was a little embarrassed and said, "I was afraid that you would refuse me, and I would be embarrassed."
"You are too conservative about everything, including feelings," Blake said.
I sighed. "Yes, you're right. I hope I can be more daring and imaginative in the future. Did you mean it when you said you were bringing the kids?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Blake pinched my face. Then he said, "I've decided to make their identities go public."
"Well, if you have already made up your mind, then I'm OK with it. At least nothing like this Gina thing would ever happen again. If someone takes photos of me when I'm out with Noah alone, I'll be damned." I couldn't help grinning.
"Precisely. I made my decision, because I don't want to see that happen again. Also, I decided to propose to you on the day of the launch. Is that OK?" Blake suddenly said.
I was shocked and quickly said, "The launch is about the new season. If you propose to me, it'll be overshadowed. It'll ruin the launch. No way! You can propose at any time. You don't have to do it on any specific occasion."
"For example? Now?" Blake suddenly grabbed one of my hands. He asked, "If I asked you to marry me now, would you say yes?"
"Now? Don't you think you are in too much of a hurry? I've still got a lot of work to do." I was caught off guard.
"You said that I could propose at any time. I want you to say yes and marry me right now!" Blake said bluntly.
I suddenly thought of something and said, "I went to see Dr. Cooper today. She asked me a lot of questions, and I answered them truthfully. And she said that you told her about what happened five years ago. What did you say?"
Blake smiled, "The truth."
"Tell me that you skipped the details." I felt so awkward.
Blake said calmly, "What do you think? I described the process in general. I couldn't remember the details. Do you still remember the details?"
"Of course, I don't!" I said hastily, but at that instant, I seemed to have seen a heavy body pressing on me, making me suffocate.
I stared at Blake without blinking. "Did I wake up once that night?"
Blake was very surprised. "You can't even remember that?"
"I don't know." I pressed my head to stop thinking about it.
Blake comforted me hurriedly, "Alright. Let's not think about it. Leave it to Dr. Cooper. Don't let your dark past consume you. OK?"
"Blake, I feel like I've forgotten something," I said, looking at him in confusion and helplessness.
"Let Dr. Cooper help find your memories step by step." Blake comforted me softly.
I tried my best to calm myself down. If I did wake up that night, then why couldn't I remember anything?
Blake patted my shoulder and said, "Alright now. Go back to work. I will go down to be with the kids."
"Dr. Cooper said it would be very good for my treatment to be closer to you," I said shyly as Blake turned around.
The light in Blake's eyes was obscure. He nodded calmly. "OK. You have my full cooperation."
I saw concern and gentleness in his eyes and couldn't help but smile.
The next morning, I discussed the guests that Blake invited with Melinda at company.
"King Blake will be there? Cedrick and Eda as well?" Melinda smiled happily when she heard the names. She said, "It seems I was right to leave it to you!"
I whispered, "Well, it was not me. I don't have what it takes to get them there. It was Blake."
"By helping you, he is helping himself. Well, it's the fact that no one has enjoyed such a treatment before you. Cathy, get ready. I'm sure the scene will shine with countless celebrities. It will be very lively," Melinda said excitedly.
I suddenly thought of something and felt the need to tell Melinda. I said, "I'd like to invite a friend of mine as well."
"Which friend of yours? Is your friend from the fashion industry? Is it someone I know?" Melinda asked curiously.
I shook my head. "I don't know if you know him or not. He got into showbiz not long ago. His name is Harley Hicks."
"Now that you mention it, I remember. Is he the same Harley Hicks who recently played the supporting actor on a Netflix series?" Melinda had always paid attention to rising stars.
"Yes. That's him." I said.
