      After meeting with his friends, Jacob took me to a jewelry shop. He told me that we have to buy an engagement ring because there's an important dinner between businessmen and women in Toronto.
      I've always thought that one day I will get engaged in a most romantic way but I guess I won't now. Instead of getting a romantic proposal, I'm buying my own ring at the store. It broke my heart actually and I don't even want to go inside to pick my own ring.
      Crystal and Tatiana were married to the love of their lives, I asked them about it earlier and I can't help but feeling jealous. I mean Tatiana was forced into the marriage but she ended up falling for him. I mean I think I'm so unlucky when it comes to life.
      &quot;You okay?&quot; Jacob asked and I looked at him completely hesitant to go into the jewelry shop.
      &quot;I don't feel really well.. ca

      &quot;Catherine? Are you awake?&quot; I heard Jacob asking me through the door.
      &quot;Yeah. Come in.&quot; I said and he walked inside.
      &quot;It's so dark.&quot; He commented but I ignored him. It's almost midnight and he just got home from the dinner with his grandpa. I turned on the lights beside the bed and I can see him still wearing his suit. He sat beside the bed and looked at me.
      &quot;How are you feeling?&quot; He asked.
      &quot;A little better.&quot; I said.
      &quot;You were crying huh?&quot; I was speechless, how did he know? He took the ring from the table beside the bed and he looked at it.
      &quot;Can you tell me why?&quot; He asked in an unreadable tone.
      &quot;I don't think I want this arrange marriage, you and I won't be happy. Don't you think?&quot;
      &quot;But it was your idea in the first place to continue

      &quot;Are you serious?&quot; I looked at Nate flatly and he smirked before he gave Ian a high five.
      &quot;You told me that your skills are getting better?&quot; I turned to Lucas and he sighed as he threw himself to the sofa. My friends are currently bowling. They're in Toronto to have a meeting with other investors so they called me to ask if I'm in Toronto or not.
      &quot;He never gets better, he never even plays bowling back at home.&quot; Crystal said as she drank her milkshake.
      &quot;You suck..&quot; I said as I looked at the score once again.
      &quot;Is the bet still up?&quot; Nate asked.
      &quot;Of course.&quot; Lucas said and I facepalmed myself. My phone rang and I got up to get it. I saw my grandpa's name on the screen. I saw debating if I should accept it or not because he's been ranting about the wedding since this morning.

      &quot;I don't feel really well.. can you just buy a random ring for me? I'll wait in the car.&quot; I said and Jacob looked at me co
