Time had eroded her beauty, leaving her feeling that her husband had likely forgotten the promise he
once made. To him, plain appearance would pale in comparison to a more attractive woman.
Pearl comfortingly patted the woman’s shoulder. “You shouldn’t tolerate cheating. It’s better to get a
divorce.”

The woman took a deep breath, conflicted. “How could I? I have a child at home. I can’t do it for the
child’s sake.” Suddenly, she remembered something and said, “I need to go home to feed my child. I’m
so sorry for this.”
She offered a kind smile to the women around her, who sighed in sympathy for her unfortunate
situation.

the company, he left and never returned. Pearl had expected Richard to take action against this
negligent employee, but he seemed to be concerned about the woman and child, so he refrained from
doing so.
After the incident was over, Pearl went to the balcony for some air, but soon after that, Richard
suddenly showed up and sat next to her.
“I heard you said I was your boyfriend.”.
Pearl didn’t think he would hear that, so she blushed. “I just said it to scare her.”
“I don’t know if you were joking, but now everyone knows. It would be embarrassing if you don’t
become my girlfriend,” Richard said sincerely, gazing at Pearl with a heartfelt expression. The sunset
cast a warm, red glow on her face, making his heart race.
“I… I’m not agreeing to it just like that,” Pearl replied, not considering that as a serious confession.
Richard found that amusing. He found the loophole and asked, “So, you mean you would agree if it’s a
sincere proposal?”
Pearl hesitated, taken aback by Richard’s shrewdness. Every girl would hope her relationship started
on a serious note.
“Remember what you said.” Richard stood up, offering his hand to Pearl to help her up. “Come with me
somewhere.”
Confused, Pearl followed Richard outside the company premises. She was bewildered by his actions
until he snapped his fingers, revealing a truck filled with roses slowly approaching.
While a bouquet of flowers was romantic, a truckload of them was beyond her expectations.
Pearl’s heart almost exploded, not because of romance, but because of the sheer extravagance. The
scent of money filled the
air.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs it was time to clock out, the employees streamed out of the office, only to be met by the sight of a
truck overflowing with roses. They were astounded.
“Wow, I’ve seen bouquets of nine roses, ninety-nine, even nine hundred and ninety-nine, but I’ve never
seen so many roses.
There must be at least ten thousand of them!”
“Did you see the president? Didn’t Mister Sean say they were already together? This must be his way
of being romantic.”
“It can only be him. Who else could afford something like this?”
Pearl overheard their comments, and her lips twitched as she remained momentarily speechless.
Romantic? Was it really romantic?
Richard noticed her unexpected reaction and frowned. It was different from what Justin had advised
him. Justin had claimed that women loved roses, the more the better. He had bought the entire supply
of a florist, expecting Pearl to be thrilled.
“Don’t you like it?” Richard asked, his expression concerned.
Pearl managed an awkward smile. “I do, of course. It’s just… This is the first time I’ve seen a truckload
of roses for a confession.”
