LittleNovelChapter 409 The Proposal Plan Theo put his magazine down and said gently, "There's something I'd like to discuss with you." Curious, Sierra put her clothes down and sat on the bed. "What is it?" When she heard that the Jones family was holding a welcoming banquet for Melody, her first instinct was to refuse to attend.
Theo could tell that she did not want to go, so he tried to persuade her with another reason.
"The Jones family has invited a number of influential people in the business industry. You need to expand your network if you plan on managing your family business. A lot of deals are made during such events." Most of the people who attended such banquets weren't there to celebrate Melody for returning home. They were just there to network and source more business opportunities.

"What tis it tomorrow night?" Theo was not the slightest bit shocked that she would agree. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's at 6:00 pm. However, we'll have to go for a fitting and dress up. So, we'll need to leave three hours in advance." Hearing that he had handled all the necessary preparations for the banquet, Sierra nodded in relief.
The next morning, Theo had just arrived at his office when Adrian cin with a big smile. Then, he secretly took out a small jewelry box from his pocket.
"Mr. Gray, the custom ring that you've ordered is done." Theo quickly hung his coat on the rack, took the jewelry box, and opened it. After looking at the shiny ring inside for quite stime, he closed the box in satisfaction. "It's not too bad." Chuckling, Adrian asked, "Mr. Gray, when are you planning to give the ring to Mrs. Gray?" Theo had already placed the jewelry box into his pockets and began sorting through his work. When he heard Adrian's question, he paused momentarily and gave it sthought.
"Could you finda place and set it up? I want the place to be filled with roses and baby's breath. Also, prepare a piano..." Adrian could already picture the scene according to Theo's description. He gave Theo a thumbs-up and complimented him. "Mr. Gray, you surely have amazing taste. The venue will look absolutely romantic." The flat look Theo proceeded to give him made Adrian uncomfortable, so he quickly pulled his hand back and said, "Mr. Gray, I'll go and look for a place first." At around 3:00 pm, Theo returned to Southridge Heights to pick Sierra up so that they could go for their fittings. They went to the sstylist as last time, and he seemed excited to see them. "Oh my God. I happen to have the perfect outfit for you two. Givea second, and I'll grab them." Before Sierra could say a word, the stylist had already turned around to leave.
Theo pulled her over to sit on the sofa beside him and said in a low voice, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?" Normally, there would be a lot of food during such banquets, but no one really ate as everyone was too busy socializing.
Sierra patted her stomach and shook her head in refusal. "It's alright. My belly will bulge out of the gown if I eat too much later." Theo's expression remained neutral, and he subconsciously turned to glance at her belly.
