Chapter 347 - Next Month

"Alice…."

"Let us not meet each other anymore, Shawn. It will be right for you as well as me…." With this, Alice took a few steps back before she opened the door of her car and sat inside to drive away.

While Shawn was left with nothing but pure emptiness inside his heart, he felt himself shivering to the next level. Even the snow started to fall by the time but he didn\'t budge from his position even an inch. The amount of pain his heart went through was hard to describe but it was something he has experienced but this time…it was different.

Closing his eyes, he didn\'t let his tears fall, rather there was a determination that flooded through his blood vessels. Taking a deep breath, he finally opened his eyes to take an oath himself.

\'I will marry you, Alice Anderson. It\'s just about time…but you will become my wife…\'

.....

Time passed and how quickly one month passed, Alice felt the time cycle moving too quickly. This month was specific to be called since she felt many things were being done. How she discovered about Johnsons …her best friend ending up one of the Johnson heirs.

And the next very day, how his name was labeled over every magazine and television news. There was no single handle that didn\'t showcase the change in the CEO of the Johnson group. It was a once-in-a-decade thing happening!

Yet Alice didn\'t feel the need to be tolerant. It was simply to not let her heart feel the same amount of regret.

When she took the day off for today, she was standing in her penthouse balcony with her eyes looking at the other place. It was mesmerizing with her morning coffee. But at the same time, she heard her doorbell ringing.

Turning around she saw the maid already opening the door when a man came and stood out "Father..brother…."

Coming Inside she ran in their direction to give them a bear hug, "How have you been?!"

Her father patted her head slightly, "Since you weren\'t interested in coming back, we thought, why don\'t we pay a visit to our little princess." hearing this, Alice smiled when she helped them sit on the couch.

Looking at her other elder brother, he gave her a hug as well, when she mumbled, "I wasn\'t expecting you to show up as well.."

"Hmm,..neither me But you know that there is nothing that father will ask and I will not do so." she smiled at the comment. Making them sit on the couch, she asked her maid to serve them some warm water before anything else. "How was the flight?"

"It was really good. But we came here with urgent work to be done." hearing this, Alice\'s brows twisted, \'Special work? What kind of work could it be?\' curiosity got better when she bluntly asked as well, "What..is it...related to what father?"

"You will learn this very soon. Don\'t worry." her father\'s words gave the unsettled happiness that she knew constantly floats till the very end. They both ended up resting for the entire day and it was evening when her father told her that he has to go somewhere.

"But father, you just came today?! You can do the work you have tomorrow as well!? And what important work is there that needs your attention, especially today?" Alice can\'t help but find a kind of annoyance present on hearing that her father will have to show up somewhere around.

As expected, her father patted her shoulders to give her a warm smile, "I\'m taking your brother, so you have nothing to worry about health as well. Also..come to the texted place when I will call you. Okay?"

He didn\'t even give her any chance before he left for the hotel where he was supposed to be present, leaving Alice dumbfounded back in her house.

All she knew was the fact that she had to go as well but after some time. Rolling her eyes, she found this to be extremely ridiculous. \'God..what will happen with this man..\'

...

Within the next hours, Alice finally arrived at the hotel\'s entrance where her father asked her to show up. It was a five-star one where she knew she had few meetings in the past.

\'But why will he call me here?! And to whom does he have to meet?\' she was all in her wondering herself.

Giving the keys to the ballet parking, Alice wore a long dress covering her entire body. Over that, she took an oversized coat to come inside the hotel to find the manager guiding her the way to the table where her father and brother were.

But the first shock she came across was to find the man…whom she hasn\'t met in the last month. "Shawn…"

Mumbling his name in between her breath, she felt herself on the verge of almost losing her consciousness.

What was he doing here?!

And that too with his family and her father at the same table?!

On noting her arrival, her brother raised his hand? to call her name, "Come Alice!"

She slightly nodded her head when she reached the table.

Her gaze never left Shawn\'s figure who didn\'t show his appearance even by chance. He wasn\'t like before anymore. All she faced was a confident person who has changed in the past month. He appeared mature in terms of his knowledge and appearance.

As if, she was meeting a new Mr. Shawn Johnson.

"Father..you said..you have to meet someone important.."

"Oh Yes, I was talking about Mr. Shawn and his father. They are the ones who called me? and told me that they have something important to discuss..so why waste time?"

Important?

Her mind wandered around different possibilities that could show up but due to it, she found nothing right at the spot.

Keeping her half-smile, she asked with heart leftover courage, "What…was that?"

"Mr.. Shawn asked for your hand in marriage and…it is decided that you both will be married? next month."
