In the days that followed, Ramon stopped bothering Hailee with questions about her past and often stayed at the office more, finishing business proposals and catching up with the memory of the four years he had lost.
Ramon was too busy to have time for Hailee, but that didn't mean the girl could casually enjoy the time and plan her escape plans.
On the contrary…Hailee was preoccupied with their wedding plans, which, she didn't want at all but, had no reason to refuse.
It's not that Hailee wasn't trying to negotiate this with Ramon, but that man had a million reasons to break Hailee's words.
Of course, Hailee, who was inexperienced in matters of debating and negotiating, had to accept the defeat with an irritated heart when Ramon was being adamant and unpersuaded in understanding to postpone their marriage.
"6 months," Hailee offered.
This morning she entered Ramon's room by force and surprised the man who was changing clothes.
So far, no one had ever dared to enter Ramon's room without his consent, therefore, Ramon was not used to locking the bedroom door. And, of course, Hailee was completely unaware of the unwritten rule.
Luckily this time Ramon had put on his white shirt and was choosing the right tie for him to wear. Or… can you say that Hailee was out of luck? Because if she had arrived earlier, maybe the scenery would be even more interesting ...
"Instead of a week, I can take you to record our marriage now if you keep talking about this," Ramon bluffed in an even voice. His fingers traced the rows of ties in a glass case and selected a gray tie. He had an important meeting in an hour or so. "Put it on."
"What?" Hailee was shocked when she saw something thrown at her and instinctively caught it before it could hit her face.
Ramon walked over to Hailee who was sitting on the edge of the bed. "Put it on," he repeated.
"I can't," said Haile, looking at the gray tie in her hand a frown was etched on her beautiful eyebrows. In all her life she never had to dress anyone, nor knew how to.
Then, Ramon's hand stretched out and pulled Hailee up to her feet. Now that they were facing each other, Hailee just realized how tall Ramon actually was.
Hailee was not exactly a short girl, she was of normal height like girls her age. However, standing in front of Ramon, Hailee felt she had to grow a few more inches, which was impossible.
The top of Hailee's head only reached Ramon's shoulders and it troubled her when she had to look at the man closely, because Hailee had to tilt her head up.
"I told you I couldn't," Hailee protested.
"Then learn," interrupted Ramon. He grabbed Hailee's hand that was still holding the tie and draped it around his neck. "Well."
One more thing Hailee realized from Ramon today, he turned out to be someone who was able to treat women gently. Despite his voice that sounds harsh and cold at times, but when he told Hailee what she had to do to tie the knot, he was so patient and calm.
"Understood?" asked Ramon. He stared at the girl in front of him in annoyance that Hailee didn't seem to notice.
And sure enough, Hailee shook her head shyly. "No," she said in a voice that was almost a whisper.
