Celeste is currently busy watering the garden inside Nathaniel Montecarlo's family farm. She feasted her eyes on the various flowers in the garden. There are red, white and pink roses, and there are also different types and colors of orchids. She is happy to be surrounded by different kinds of flowers. She feels like the Queen of flowers! Celeste then saw a very unique flower, and it was her first time to see it. She immediately picked one piece of flower and tucked it behind her right ear. Celeste doesn't know why, but she has this feeling that someone has been watching her every move. And her intuition was right. Nathaniel Montecarlo was standing in the balcony, while smiling at her. Celeste blushes like a steamed crab because of too much embarrassment. He might think that she has gone crazy while dancing as she was being surrounded by the pretty flowers. "Oh, I'm sorry if I picked your flowers without asking for permission!" she immediately apologizes to Nathaniel. "You don't have to apologize. Actually, you look pretty with a flower on your hair. If you want, you can get more flowers." Nathaniel smilingly responded. Celeste wanted to say something more but she couldn't do so because the main butler called her to get some help in the kitchen. She gave one last look at Nathaniel, who who is still smiling at him. Afterwards, she went inside the house to go to the kitchen to help. Meanwhile, Nathaniel's eyes followed Celeste, until she was out of sight. "She looks really pretty being surrounded with flowers..." he wonders aloud, as his smile widens. ============================== It's officially her first month as a maid in disguise at the Montecarlo Mansion... "Celeste, can you please clean the rooms upstairs before Nathaniel comes home from his exercise? He will definitely take a shower once he gets home and then he will have his usual breakfast once he arrives." the main butler in the mansion told her. "Yes, Ma'am." she politely answers. After a few minutes, Celeste is now on the second floor of the mansion and she is about to enter Nathaniel's room for the very first time... She's a bit curious when she saw the door slightly opened. She still decides to walk inside, without making any sound. As soon as she enters the room, Nathaniel also came out from the bathroom at the very same time. His hair was still dripping wet, and he was naked on top, and the only thing that covers his lower body is a towel... They stared at each other for a few seconds, as they were too shocked to speak. Celeste was about to scream at the top of her lungs when Nathaniel suddenly approaches her and covers her mouth with his hand. They also lost their balance, and as a result, they both fell into the King-sized bed... Celeste's overwhelmed with so much feelings as she realizes that they are both in bed. Her heart was beating so fast and she's having a hard time to breathe. Not to mention, her whole face feels hot and she knows that she's blushing... After Nathaniel was able to regain his composure, he helped Celeste get up from his bed. "What are you doing here, Celeste?" Nathaniel immediately asks her. "Uh, the butler asked me a favor to clean your room." Celeste tried her best to look and sound casual. "I'm so sorry if I surprised you like that, Celeste. But you don't need to clean the room. I'll do it." he informed her. "There's no need for you to apologize. It's just an accident. Anyway, I'll go out bow so that you can get dressed." Celeste immediately runs out from Nathaniel's room. Her knees feels weak like jelly as she descends from the stairs. It was her first time to see a man who's almost naked! She shook her head wildly as if she's shaking off those thoughts from her mind. "Calm down and forget everything that happened, Celeste! You need to focus on your work!" she secretly reprimanded herself. ============================= Later that night, Celeste couldn't sleep in her room because she keeps on thinking about what happened to her and Nathaniel in his room early in the morning. She decided to close her eyes and forces herself to sleep because she needs to wake up early in the morning, as usual... ============================= All of the Montecarlo's househelpers are all busy as bees as they all get ready for a big family party tonight. It's their Annual Thanksgiving Party, in which they celebrate their great and abundant harvest from their farm every year. Nathaniel Montecarlo's family has been celebrating since he was born, and it has been their annual tradition eversince... The main and special guest at the said party are the farmers and their family members. Nathaniel always thinks that without them, there will be no Montecarlo Farm. He's been always thankful to all the farmers who are working with him side by side... All the farmers are currently having a good time eating, drinking, and chatting. Some of them are also dancing at the mini-stage... Celeste is currently giving drinks to their special guests when the music suddenly stops. She curiously looks at the mini-stage and then she saw Nathaniel standing there, while holding a microphone. "My dear friend, I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for the hardwork and effort that you've put into for the passed decades for the Montecarlo Farm. The farm wouldn't be successful without you all." Nathaniel started making his speech. All of the people applauded after they heard the first part his speech. "---And I also want to share with you a very good news. I want to inform you that I, Nathaniel Montecarlo, will soon marry a very beautiful, very kind and lovable Celeste Vitale!" he surprisingly made the announcement. Celeste had a shock of her life when she heard Nathaniel's sudden announcement. She wasn't able to speak nor move at all. All she can see is the people are looking at her with the same shocked expression on their faces... "I can understand the shock on your faces, everyone. You see, this is an arranged marriage, and both of our fathers made a promise that Celeste and I will be married to each other when the right time comes. And I'm more than willing to be married to her." Nathaniel spoke again, while looking at her direction. Celeste held her breath in suspense when Nathaniel started walking towards her, without breaking eye contact... "Celeste, you thought all along that I wouldn't be able to know your real identity? I know that you tried to disguise yourself as a househelper because you wanted to get to know more about me before you decide whether you'll agree to marry me or not. But now that we've known each other for more than a month, what do you think about me? And are you willing to marry me?" Nathaniel finally spilled the beans. Once Celeste was able to recover from her shock, she finally decided to speak. "Well, I can say that disguising as househelper is one of the greatest decision that I've ever made in my life. I was given a chance to get to know you more, to finally discover how amazing you are with other people, how honest and sincere you are... Not to mention, you're jaw-dropping gorgeous too!" Celeste smilingly relayed. Nathaniel's eyes sparkled once he heard all of those things from Celeste. "So does that mean that you like me?" Celeste's smile grew wider. "No, I don't like you, Nathaniel. I'm actually inlove with you." she finally confesses, without any reservations. Celeste saw Nathaniel's face brightened after her confession. "I can say that I've fallen inlove with you, since the first time I laid my eyes on you. I didn't believe in love at first sight but lo and behold, it happened to me, and I couldn't escape it." he enunciated. "So now we know that the feeling is mutual, does it mean that we're engaged now?" Celeste inquired. Nathaniel shook his head in return. "No, not until I do this." He suddenly bend on one knee on the ground, and he opens a small red velvet box which has a tear-drop diamond engagement ring on it. "Celeste, would you give me the honor to marry you?" Nathaniel just kept his marriage proposal sweet and short. And Celeste doesn't have any problem with that. Just knowing that Nathaniel loves her the same way she does, it's already perfect with her. "Yes, Sir. I will marry and love you with all my heart and soul." she happily agrees rightaway. Nathaniel slips the ring on her finger, and they shared a sweet kiss. All of their guests applauded in return, as they are elated for their engagement...
