“No matter what, we absolutely cannot let them get engaged!”
Hawk was the first to approach Dylan, making his intentions clear.
Dylan’s eyes darkened slightly. “What do you plan to do?”
“What do you think?” Hawk sneered coldly. “The rivalry between you and me has nothing to do with Allen. He doesn’t qualify to interfere!”
“Achoo!”
Allen, who was picking out dresses with Suzy, suddenly felt a chill down his back. “Why do I feel like someone’s talking behind my back?”
Suzy rolled her eyes at him. “It’s not just gossip. Who knows, you might be facing real danger soon!”
To Dylan and Hawk, Allen was like an unexpected wild card in their game. Neither of them would let him and Suzy succeed in getting engaged so easily.
Allen quickly hid behind Suzy. “Boss, you got to protect me!”
Despite his words, fear was the last thing on his mind.
Neither Dylan nor Hawk was someone he took seriously.
If anyone dared to stop their engagement party he’d make sure they paid a heavy price.
Even though the engagement was fake, it felt real to Allen.
After years of secretly loving Suzy, he never imagined he’d get this chance. Even if it was all pretend, he was happy to go along with it. That was why he wouldn’t let anyone ruin it.
Suzy glanced back at him. “I thought you’d be the one standing up to them, but now it seems I’ve placed my bets on the wrong person”
Allen snorted. “Everyone online knows I’m your guy now. Don’t even think about ditching me!”
“Watch your tone!” The exaggerated way he spoke sent shivers down her spine.
Suzy glanced at him and said, “I told you to talk to Riley. Did you go to

Suzy hadn’t approached Riley about the fake engagement with Allen; she had asked Allen to handle it instead.
Allen’s eyes flickered slightly. “I did. Otherwise, why do you think she’s been so quiet?”

What Suzy didn’t know was that Allen had indeed spoken to Riley, but not in the way she had instructed.
Unaware of any issues, Suzy entrusted Riley with organizing the engagement party.
Riley was already heartbroken, but she hadn’t expected Suzy to assign her the task of planning their engagement party.
It was an order, and as a subordinate, she had no choice but to comply.
What hurt more was remembering what Allen had told her. “Riley, the one I’ve always loved is Boss. So put away those feelings you shouldn’t have.”
Yes, it had always been her unrequited love. But still….
“Dylan and Hawk are both obsessed with you, so why do you have to choose Allen?”
Drowning her sorrows in alcohol, Riley got drunk. “You know how much I like him, so why are you doing this to me? Just because you’re our boss, does that give you the right to take him away from me?”
“Yes, she knows how you feel about Allen, yet she still took him from you,” a sudden voice echoed.
“Who’s there?”
Riley looked around but saw no one. It felt like she was hallucinating.
But the voice came again. “Tomorrow is their engagement party. After loving him for so many years, are you really willing to let it go?”
“No! Of course, I don’t want to!” Riley slammed her hands on the table. “When Allen joined the organization, I was the one who took care of him. I nursed him back to health when he was barely clinging to life. But he only loves Boss!”
“If you don’t want them to get engaged, just take him back!”
“Take him back?” Riley let out a bitter laugh. “But Boss…”
“The hell with your boss! If she can take him from you, why can’t you take him back? Does being the leader give her the right to do whatever she wants?”
“You’re right! You’re absolutely right! I’ll go get Allen back right now!”
