Chapter 89: GET ON ONE KNEE
Chapter 89: GET ON ONE KNEE
Actually, Ramon had been feeling this headache since morning, but didn't really pay attention to it, it was only after a while before he changed his clothes that his head felt as if it had been pounded by a hammer.
Therefore, Ramon did not refuse Hailee's offer to lend him her lap so that he could lay his throbbing head down, just for a moment.
At first, Ramon just wanted to rest his head on Hailee's lap, but her hands massaging his temples slowly, made Ramon feel relaxed and he could feel his headache lessen a bit.
Therefore, he did not protest and let the girl touch him.
But then the feeling of comfort slowly made Ramon feel tired and sleepy at the same time.
It didn't take long until he completely lost his awareness and fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Hailee, who realized that Ramon had fallen asleep from the sound of his even breathing, didn't stop her hands that were massaging his forehead.
Not because Hailee wanted to make this guy's headache go away by the time he woke up, hell, Hailee didn't even know how to massage, but because she just wanted to touch his hair.
It sounded perverted, but Hailee liked feeling Ramon's coarse strands, when she ran her fingers through them.
And halfway there, the massage turned into just a light caressing on Ramon's hair, making the man sink even deeper into his sleep.
==============
"We've arrived," said their driver. The man in his forties named Charlie stared at Hailee through the rearview mirror, waiting for further orders, knowing that Ramon was still asleep.
"Hm," Hailee muttered, thinking for a moment. She did not have the heart to wake Ramon, because it seemed like he was sleeping very well, and it was certain that he must be tired of dealing with his work at the office, while he had just been discharged from the hospital.
If Hailee were in Ramon's position, then she would have taken advantage of the situation to remain absent from work, for at least a month!
"Just leave the car running, you can go. Let me take the key, I'll call you when we're going back," Hailee said.
And after Charlie agreed, he immediately intended to get out of the car, but he stopped promptly, he was looking at Hailee hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something.
"What's wrong?" Hailee asked, when she noticed Charlie's expression. "Do you have anything to say?"
Charlie then looked embarrassed, he rubbed his neck with a faint smile. "Nothing, I just wanted to say that, Mr. Ramon has never fallen asleep like that… he seems very tired."
Hailee smiled back and watched Charlie get out of the car, closing the door very slowly so as not to wake Ramon.
After they were alone, Hailee leaned her back against the back of the seat and stared out the of car window, where she could only see a yellow luxury car, parked next to it, while Hailee's hand was still combing through Ramon's hair. It felt very natural for her to do this.
Hailee then raised her hand and looked at the watch that showed it was half past four in the afternoon, it seemed that it was okay to let Ramon sleep for another hour or two, after all the jewelry story at this mall would be open til nine o'clock. There's still plenty of time ...
Therefore, Hailee took advantage of this moment to stare at Ramon's face closely, admiring how this man looked like an angel when he was sleeping.
His strong and firm jaw and also his sharp nose… imperceptibly, Hailee traced the side of the man's face slowly with her fingers.
From his forehead, down to the bottom of his cheeks, then to the side of his face and then his lips, which had kissed her before Lis and Margaretha.
It's just embarrassing...
But, somehow Hailee liked Ramon's spontaneous attitude like that.
However, the time that Hailee had to admire Ramon didn't last long, because a few minutes later the man woke up with a start.
Perhaps, it was from feeling the change in atmosphere that had darkened, or maybe it was because of dangerous feeling from Hailee's hand that turned sassy at stroking his face.
"We're here..." His voice was hoarse and his eyes were unfocused, like someone who was dead tired.
"If you're that tired, there's no need to force yourself." Hailee naturally stretched out her hand and smoothed Ramon's hair. She wondered herself, was she developing an obsession with this man's hair?
For a moment Ramon frowned, but then he let Hailee do whatever she wanted.
"I'm all right, just a little dizzy," Ramon said.
"Dizzy?" Hailee stopped her activities for a moment and looked at the man in front of her anxiously. "Should we see a doctor?"
After all, the accident happened not too long ago and Ramon had forced himself to go back to work, maybe now he's feeling the side effects? Not to mention the problem with his amnesia. Ramon's past memories still haven't returned.
"No need. It's not that severe." Just like what Hailee had expected, this man rejected it out rightly. "We have to choose this wedding ring after all."
But, Ramon also didn't get out of the car right away, he rubbed his eyes and his face that still looked sleepy yet very adorable.
"But, why should it be here?" Hailee was still curious. She didn't fully believe Ramon's words, who said that he only wanted to see his future business venture.
"Because I heard they have the latest diamond designs," Ramon replied in a voice that was still a little hoarse, so Hailee offered him a bottle of mineral water, which he took after offering a faint 'thank you'.
"Okay."Hailee then shrugged indifferently.
"You don't seem to like coming here." Ramon glanced at the girl next to him.
"I'm not that close to my extended family, but knowing my father's younger brother took the business, I feel uncomfortable..." Hailee admitted, especially when her uncle also took part in company management, at least that's what Hailee heard last time.
The two people now occupy the highest positions in the family company previously led by Hailee's father.
"Why?" asked Ramon curiously.
"My dad doesn't have a very good relationship with Uncle George," Hailee said with a sour face.
Hearing this, Ramon reminded himself to find out more about this George Tatum.
"Let's get in," said Ramon and then got out of the car.
"I'm free to choose our wedding rings?" Hailee leaned over and turned off the car engine.
Ramon then turned around the side of the car. "Of course," he said, as he opened the car door for Hailee. "That's better, right?"
"It's better if you don't skip an important stage." Hailee then got out of the car and tidied her slightly wrinkled clothes.
"What?"
"You should have proposed to me first. Something like; getting on one knee."
