"Benjamin, please get up first."
Riley Sully's tone at this moment had already turned a bit cold. To be honest, she really disliked this kind of scene, as it made people feel very awkward.
If she and he were genuinely in love, that would be another story. But at this moment, Benjamin's sudden public declaration without any warning was indeed a bit embarrassing.
If she planned to accept it, that would be fine, but if she were to reject him, doing so in front of so many people would cause Benjamin to lose face, and it might even become a subject of gossip.
"Riley, I'm not young anymore. All along, I've had quite good conditions, yet I've never met a woman who moved me, so I never wanted to just settle. It wasn't until I met you that I realized what it feels like to be moved. I've passed the age of being impulsive, so please believe that today, my declaration to you is well thought out. Please give me a chance."
