Chapter 120 - 120: Selena''s blush


    Crossing both arms over her stomach, Danie stared at Selena, one brow slowly raising in boredom.


    They were at the garden, Selena has been trying to hit the target with her arrow numerous times but she could not even hold the bow properly.


    Selena squinted one eye and tried to release the arrow but as she did, the string of the bow pluck on her nose causing her to groan in pain.


    "Ouch!" She wanted to cry, she has been standing for almost an hour that she could no longer feel her legs.


    She asked Danie to teach her archery only to realize that she can''t do it but, Danie didn''t allow her to stop unless she hit the target at least once.


    As she turned her head to Danie which was leaning against the mango tree a few meters from her, she spoke "I have wasted a lot of arrows Danie, I can''t!" her shoulders slumped in defeat, seemed like archery was not as easy as she thought it would.


    Danie blew out a sigh and walked towards Selena, she stood behind the girl and positioned her arms in the air.


    "Left-arm should be straight," Danie whispered.


    Selena''s body stiffened by the grave tone Danie used, so she gulped hard and followed her.


    "Rx your right arm," as Selena did what Danie asked, she found it easier to hold the bow.


    "Now, release the arrow."


    As the arrow made its way towards the target, Selena''s eyes swelled. When it finallynded, a refreshing feeling rushed over her body causing her to scream like a dying pig.


    "OMG! I hit it!" she said humping like a bunny around Danie.


    "Yes you did," Danie said with a smile.


    "Maybe I canpete in the national team," she excitedly said.


    And with that, Danie''s face ttened.


    "Are you two having fun?" out of nowhere, Evan''s voice sounded.


    Danie and Selena turned their sight to the garden gate at the same time and found Evan walking towards them in his suit.


    It''s past five in the afternoon and the sky was slowly getting dark.


    Selena smiled, "yes, I hit the target, see!" she said with her hand excitedly pointing at the target.


    Evan halted in front of Selena and patted her head, "that''s good," he moved closer to her face and nted a quick kiss on her forehead.


    Startled, Selena froze. Her uncle had never done it before, and just the feeling that she made him proud has made her tiredness disappeared.


    She bit her lips, her hands went behind and nervously yed with each other. At that moment, she suddenly wanted to be the niece that he would be proud of.


    Selena elevated her face to look at her uncle, "I have some homework to do so I will go in first," she said and ran to the house. Her heart was pounding uncontrobly just the thought of how sweet her uncle was right now.


    After Selena left, Danie went back to the tree she was leaning on and watched Evan from the distance. He was staring at her, the exhaustion from work was on his face yet a smile livelier than the sun''s goodbye was curling on his lips.


    "Are you not hungry?" he asked.


    She shook her head, an indescribable peace flooded her mind, she felt as if this was unreal.


    When Evan was about to move closer, Danie stopped him.


    "Don''t," she smiled when he suddenly frowned.


    "Is there something wrong?"


    She shook her head, unsure why but her eyes became hot, forming tears from happiness.


    "Would it be weird if I…" she paused and giggled.


    "What?"


    Staring at Evan''s face, with the orange light from the sunset, she continued, "I ask you to marry me?"


    With calmness Evan jammed both hands in his pocket, his smile disappeared, eyes narrowed, face turned serious.


    He blinked once, and shook his head, "it''s not weird but Danie," he sighed and walked in big steps towards her.


    cing both hands on the tree next to her face, Evan leaned closer to her.


    "Get your revenge first. It doesn''t matter even if it''s my mom, do what you have to do," he whispered.


    She gulped hard, for a moment, the thought of forgetting her revenge came in her mind. She would do it, she would drop everything just to have a normal life with him but he said no, and asked her to continue.


    Her eyes swayed with emotion. Lifting a hand to touch his cheek, Danie smiled.


    "Are you sure?"


    Evan nodded with no hesitation, it was as if he had been thinking about it.


    "If you don''t, I will put her to prison for killing your mom."


    A bittersweet smile was stered on Danie''s lips after hearing it. For her, Evan would send his mother to prison. To get the justice she deserved, he would turn his back at his family.


    What has she done to deserve this kind of man?


    "Let''s leave your mom alone," she sighed, "I don''t want to hurt Selena, she loves your mom so much."


    Evan squeezed eyes shut momentarily, "if that''s what you want," he murmured.


    "Jenna called me about the proposal you offered" she slightly pushed him away as she changed the topic and wrapped a hand on his arm, "I said no babe."


    Evan halted and turned to her, eyebrows were creasing in confusion.


    "I normally don''t ask this but why?"


    "Well, I am nning something else," and her calm face earlier suddenly shed a mischievous look, "how do you feel about owning the half stock of your biggestpetitor?"


    Evan''s head tilted in confusion, "what do you mean?"


    "Well," Danie ran her fingers on his tie seductively, "do you want to know what kind of deal they offered to Lumax?"


    "What?" He asked curiously.


    "They are not offering a simple contract babe, they want to sell some of their shares to us secretly," she waggled her brows yfully, "and they are certain that with the Su financial Bank scandal, most of your client will switch to them once they find out that Lumax made a contract with the Ind Bank," she lengthy exined.


    Evan took in a deep sigh, "I doubt Ind Bank would sell their shares to me, they hated me."


    Danie giggled, "yeah they do hate you, you should have heard what the CEO said about you" she rolled her eyes as she said that, "Lumax will buy it andter you can buy it from us," and she winked once at him.


    Hearing that, Evan''s face sparkled like a boy that got his favorite toy, "really?"


    She nodded, tiptoed to reach his ears, "yes and I can even give you a discount," she blew out hot air into his ears as she said those words seductively, "if you will perform well tonight."


    Soon a whimsical squeal left Danie''s lips when Evan suddenly carried her in his shoulder and walked with big steps towards the vi.
