Kieran seemed completely unfazed by my presence, holding the bouquet as he approached Kate and knelt on one knee, "I want to give these flowers to Miss Bogart."
Someone sharp-eyed noticed that the rings they wore were a matching set and immediately began cheering, "So Miss Bogart already has someone in her heart, kiss her!" The crowd's enthusiasm grew, with everyone eagerly hoping they'd continue this wedding's theme of love.
Kieran cast a provocative glance at me, then feigned a pitiful tone, "I'm just Miss Bogart's assistant. How could I dare to confess my feelings?"
Kate, having seemingly forgotten my existence, took the flowers from him, her eyes moist with emotion. "Don't undervalue yourself. You're great, bright and handsome." Her words were met with a round of thunderous applause.
But I stood there, cold from head to toe. Only when she saw that I was watching did Kate snap out of her daze.
She rushed over to me, suddenly noticing the bouquet in her hands, which she hastily tossed aside while said, "Alec, you're not angry, right? We were just joking around."
