So I made her an offer at the Norton Group with a substantial salary, but she turned it down.
Well, it was confirmed. She was not interested in me.
Just as I was contemplating alternative strategies to win her over, she approached me with an offer of cooperation.
I accepted all her proposals without hesitation.
After all, pursuing my future wife was a mission that required my own efforts.
As things settled down, I avenged my parents and started my own business.
I cautiously gauged her feelings, but she turned me down.
Or at least, what I perceived as a rejection was, in fact, more about her own insecurities.
She had her sights set on the Synthovision Group, but I didn't immediately agree.
I didn't own the Synthovision Group by myself.
My partner and I split the shares of the company. Although my voice carried more weight, the new company was still finding its footing in the marketplace.
After five years of hard work, I finally gained complete control of the Synthovision Group.
At the first opportunity, I proposed to Jean.
There was no diamond ring, no roses—just the shares of the Synthovision Group and all my wealth.
Once I became a man without a fortune, Jean consented to marry me.
