A middle-aged man looked at George with a sharp gaze. His hand pointed a rifle at the head of Frederico Patria's personal assistant with his index finger ready to pull the trigger.
He seemed so angry to see a stranger wandering around in his house at midnight like this.
"Who are you?!" asked the man who was none other than Howard Smith the father of the beautiful woman he had just expressed his feelings for.
"What are you doing in my house huh?!" Howard Smith stepped closer and closer toward George who did not move at all. The gun he used to hunt was still pointed at the head of the young man he did not know.
"I'm George Herbert, Mr. Smith. I drove your daughter to her room because it was so late" replied the man with his calm face.
"How dare you enter Maggie's room without my permission, huh?!" howard Smith infuriated while giving one hard kick to George's shins.
"Shuh!" The man grimaced softly as his old legs felt a great pain with what he was doing. He did not expect that the man had such strong muscles.
"I'm sorry Mr. Smith. Are you okay?" george asked with concern. He then grabbed the grimacing middle-aged man quickly.
"What's your relationship with my daughter?!" Howard Smith brushed George's hand off with his rifle.
"I love Maggie Sir. And I want to make her my wife. You don't mind, do you?" Howard Smith laughed and patted George on the shoulder.
"I like the way you are George. But unfortunately I don't know you yet."
"I'm just a regular guy, sir. And Maggie was so special in my life. If you will, I'd love to marry her when the sun comes up." Howard Smith's eyes grew. He does not believe what he hears.
"You don't joke George. You think it's easy to marry my daughter huh?!"
"No sir."
"Then go home now. I'm waiting for you tomorrow morning to propose to Maggie properly."
"Well, thank you for not shooting me in the head with your rifle."
"Hahahaha, this shotgun is just an air rifle to scare away people who intend to tease and play with my daughter."
"Good night Mr. Smith. Excuse me." George immediately left the place with light steps. Once again he thanked nature for giving his support tonight. Maggie's heart and her dad's got.
With a little whistling he immediately drove his car home. There's nothing else he's worried about now. Maggie's father gave her blessing and it was a wonderful thing for her.
The man looked at his watch. It was very late to return to the residence of Frederico Patria. Everyone might have rested by now. And he feels better if he just goes back to his apartment.
It only takes 15 minutes because the streets are very quiet, he also arrived at his apartment. A password he presses to open the door of the temporary residence unit and make the door open.
"Where have you been George!?" ask a voice from the direction of the minimalist kitchen space. George gasped in shock because Frederico Patria was there enjoying a cup of coffee.
"Ah Sir. I just proposed to Maggie Smith to her dad."
"In the middle of the night like this?" ask the man with lips raised. He sighed with laughter in his heart.
"I have no choice, sir."
"And that's a choice that only an unromantic man like you has" Frederico Patria replied, sipping his coffee. The smell of the dark-coloured drink actually provoked George to come closer.
"Yes yes, you are just a romantic man who is very missed and hated by a woman named Flower Michelin" concluded George with a face without the slightest expression.
"How dare you say it was George?!" frederico Patria growled with a glare at his trusted assistant.
"Of course I am brave. You are no longer my boss. Mrs Flower Michelin was the one who paid me for these few months."
"God! even though my wife pays you but it's from my treasure everything!" exclaimed the man with a hand hitting the table in front of him. His coffee cup jumped in shock at what he was doing.
George did not lose. He deliberately challenged the man to play him.
Frederico smiled faintly then said with a relaxed back face, "No problem. I'll ask Flo to fire you. So get ready George!'
"That's if the young mistress wants to take you back." George replied again with a face that turned annoying.
"Oh my. Is it because you're in love that you purposely made me mad huh?!"
"No!"
"Then?
"My company tomorrow to Howard Smith's house."
"For what?!"
"I have to take you to accompany me to propose to Maggie very well tomorrow morning."
"Just kid!" Frederico Patria smiled with a sneer then finished his coffee immediately. The man stood up from his seat and left George in the kitchen alone.
"Master!"
"No!"
"I'll tell Mrs Flower that you've been lying to her all along. You pretended to be dead because you didn't want to see her taking care of her twin babies!"
"What?! what threat is that?!" Federico Patria turned around then folded his arms in front of his chest.
"Curtain! your threats are like George's little boy! find another threat!"
That night the two of them were still arguing in their own way.
Meanwhile Howard Smith entered his daughter's room with a sneak peek. He wanted to make sure the beautiful girl he loved was okay after the man came out of his room.
"Daddy? is that you?" maggie Smith asked from under her blanket. Apparently he had not fallen asleep because he was still imagining George who had just expressed his feelings.
The sleeping lamp in the room that gave off a dim light only revealed a black shadow from the father.
"You haven't slept Mag?" howard Smith asked as he sat himself on the princess' bed.
"I can't sleep Dad" Maggie replied as she woke up from her position.
"Is it because of that guy?" ask the father with a loving look at his daughter. Maggie gasped in shock because her father found out about George. He looked at his father with a scared face.
"Daddy saw that guy from my room?"
"You're an adult Mag. You know what you can and cannot do. Most men just want to play with women. I just hope he really meant it to you, baby."
Maggie immediately embraced the father with a sense of haru in her heart. He confirmed the middle-aged man's word. He also wished that George was really serious about him.
