Chapter 203 Picking the Date "It'd be after the competition," Sierra answered softly, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.
"Alright." Theo nodded. "We should pick a good date." Madison leaned in close, whispering playfully, "Cee, Theo really listens to everything you say. Are you sure he won't end up being a henpecked husband?" Sierra flushed red.. She stole a glance at Theo, feeling a little overwhelmed.
To be honest, he had respected all of her decisions.
"If anything comes up, call me," Theo reminded her as he stepped closer, gently brushing his fingers through her hair. His voice was warm and reassuring.

"Uncle Theo, you should get back to work." "Alright. Be good and stay home." His voice dipped slightly, a touch of something deep and teasing lacing his words.
The moment the door clicked shut behind him, Sierra finally relaxed, letting out a quiet breath.
Madison scooted closer to Sierra, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Babe, are you seriously tellingyou don't feel anything for that ridiculously handsman?" It was impossible.
Sierra inhaled deeply. "Stay calm. Stay rational." Madison snorted, eyeing the obvious blush still lingering on Sierra's face. "Yeah, sure. You're totally calm. Except your face is betraying you right now. Do you find Mr. Gray too good-looking?" Sierra pursed her lips. "Fine. I admit that. But that's not the reason I agreed. What really movedwas how much he respected and cared for me. If there's ever anything he needs, I'll do my best to help him." She spoke with unwavering determination.
Madison, however, couldn't help but let her thoughts wander. If there was anything the man needed help with, it was for...

Isn't that a little weird?" Sierra gently pursed her lips, thinking there was struth to that, but calling him by his name...
Theo...
She repeated it in her head, and for sreason, it made her heart skip a beat.
"I'm just used to it. I'll change it later," she elaborated, trying to brush it off. "Besides, we're not married yet." Her expression grew a little more serious as her voice dropped slightly. "Maddy, can you taketo the Shaws later?" Theo drove back to the company, taking the elevator straight to his office and calling for Adrian.

After knocking, Adrian walked into the office and saw Theo sitting on the couch with a bright, satisfied expression. His eyes lit up as he approached Theo. "Mr. Gray, what can I do for you?"
"Find a top-tier interior designer. The villa needs a full makeover," Theo m instructed smoothly. "And also, need you to check for a good date. One that's perfect for getting a marriage certificate." He deliberately emphasized the last few words.
Getting a marriage certificate? Adrian's eyes widened in shock. "Wait... Mr. Gray, did Ms. Shaw agree to marry you?" "Of course." Theo glanced up, his gaze carrying an unmistakable glint of amusement.
Adrian had a wide grin as he clasped his hands together ticallym "Congratulations; Mr. Gray! I wish you and Ms. Shaw a lifetof happiness. Happy early wedding!" Theo's lips curled slightly. "Your bonus this month would be double." Adrian's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Mr. Gray! Don't worry, I'll handle everything perfectly!"
