Everyone busy in the yard looked at the closed door and was stunned. Shall they continue after the door was closed? Then their eyes fell on Finnley. They were waiting for his instructions, after all, he was the boss.
"It's okay." Finnley said without hesitation, "Go on. Set the scene first.” "Yes, sir.” Everyone continued moving all the things out of the car. They set the lights, flowers, ribbons, balloons...
Anyway, they would get paid.
Today Finnley had a courtship ceremony in the yard planned. It would be on a live stream. He had even brought the reporters, this would save him the clarification.
The reporters were also helping to wrap the lights around the fence in between the flowers and plants. It was beautiful indeed.

The placement and arrangement of flowers were also carefully planned. Finnley had even hired a professional from the flower store.
In the yard, they were working hard.
By the window, Mya, in her pajamas, watched. She had heard the noises just now.
With her hair loose, she was very calm. It seemed she had guessed what Finnley was going to do.
Holding the phone in her hand, she looked down at the screen, there was still no phone call or text message from him.
Wasn't he even going to explain anything? Didn't he care at all about what she felt? Mya believed in her own judgment. Finnley absolutely didn't have feelings for Eloise, otherwise, why didn’t he marry her? But she also knew that the photos were real. They had dinner together in the restaurant.
She felt jealous every time she thought of it.
In the living room downstairs, which was exquisitely decorated.
Shirley sat on the sofa leisurely, drinking tea and glancing out of the window from time to time.
“Ma'am, is Mr. Russell going to court Ms. Saunders?” Paula observed them and went back to Shirley to report the situation in a low voice, “They have even got the banner ready. It is written on it, ‘Mya, be my girlfriend and I will love you for the rest of my life’.
“Cheesy,” Shirley snorted and felt a bit disgusted, “That's his taste?” “I think he has good taste," Paula didn't get it and blurted out, "Ms. Saunders is the perfect girl. She's adorable and kind." Shirley frowned and looked at her, “I mean the ritual is cheesy.” Paula said with a smile, “Ma’am, that indicates he’s not skillful in this and is an honest man. If he had done it many times, he wouldn't make the banner, right?” Her words made some sense.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPaula could tell that although with a long face, Shirley was actually delighted inside.
With everyone's help, the scene was soon set. It was romantic and warm. When the lights were turned on, they lit up the whole place and it was beautiful.
Mya, who had been standing by the window on the second floor, saw everything.
She was moved. She had seen how busy Finnley had been.
When everything was ready, Finnley stood in the middle of the heart-shaped candles and the reporters stepped back to set their cameras rolling.
Finnley looked up and his eyes met Mya’s.
Mya was calm. Finnley put on a smile and waved his hand at her, shouting, "Mya, come down!" Their eyes locked and time seemed to have stood still. A while later, Mya turned around and left.
Everyone was expecting and waiting.
Would she come down?
