The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal by Samantha

Chapter 69

Sandra lay back on her bed, staring at the ceiling with a bright smile playing on her lips as she thought about her date with Derek earlier.

The date with Derek had gone better than she had expected; it was nothing like she had expected. He had been the most charming, attentive man she had been on a date with, and, most importantly, he seemed to have really enjoyed her company.

Although she had wanted to go out of her way to impress him, she hadn't exactly done too much. He had made it all too easy for her. She thought as her already wide smile widened, and she kicked her legs in the air playfully.

As the memory of his smile flashed in her mind, she felt a warm feeling spread through her chest. It was rare for her to feel this way after a date. especially when it was all just part of the game, but this just sort of felt different for her.

She caught herself thinking about how easy it was to talk to him, how he laughed at her jokes, and how he looked at her, his beautiful pair of blue eyes filled with so much interest,

Could it be that he was in love with her after hearing about her! She asked herself but then frowned. If he liked her so much, why hadn't he called her, yet? Sandra mused as she checked her phone for the tenth time, her fingers tapping anxiously on the screen.

He should have called by now, or was he still caught up in the meeting he had gone to! It had to be that.

She thought about calling him to ask if he was back, but she shook her head. Doing that might make her seem too forward or desperate. He was already into her, and the last thing she wanted was to chase him off by being clingy. She thought and almost jumped out of her skin when her phone buzzed.

A grin immediately appeared on her face, and without wasting time, she grabbed her phone, her heart pounding. She was hoping it was Derek since he was the only one she was expecting to call her.

She scowled, and a wave of irritation washed over her when she saw that it was Michael who was calling. She sighed before reluctantly answering the call.
