The Dark Secret of the CEO by Sofia de Orellana

Chapter 66

The journey to the restaurant is light, at least for Luz. Because for Gerard… her stomach is a nervous wreck , never in her life was he so terrified, not even when she proposed to Margaret .

As soon as they arrive at the venue, the host comes out to greet them, gesturing to Gerard that the order is ready. Gerard surrounds Luz by her waist and draws her to her body, to imbibe that pure energy, that special shine that she has of her and that love that radiates from her woman.

Because Luz will always be his wife.

Upon entering, the man leads them to a huge wooden door. When they cross it, Luz is shocked by what she finds there.

There is a lonely table, for two people, surrounded by white flowers. Dim lights illuminate the space, as the sun is setting. The music, soft and calm, ends up enveloping the place. Luz stares at Gerard, who kneels in front of her and feels that he is going to give her something.

“I’ll just take off your shoes,” he tells her, smiling, and she feels her soul return to her body.

Although, to be honest, if Gerard had proposed to her at that moment, she would have said yes without hesitation.

He does the same with her shoes and they leave them at the side of the entrance, he takes her by the hand and leads her to one of the chairs.

Out of nowhere, a waiter appears, laying out a shrimp appetizer on a bed of leaves, and Gerard pours him orange juice and smiles at him.
