“Since you think that this is a bad example, I’ll change to another one, Ms. Blake.
“If one day Charmaine becomes the president’s girlfriend and the others were gossiping about how she bullies the other staff because she was the president’s girlfriend, I would still step in.”
Then, Bethan smiled and looked at Fiona.
“Are you satisfied with this example, Ms. Blake?”
It was just fanning the flames in a shady way, right? Did Fiona think only she knew how to do that?
Fiona’s face alternated between blushing and turning pale upon Bethan’s words.
She bit her lips hard. She lowered her head and sobbed, “I -I…I never would have thought…”
“Ms. Blake, don’t cry. What Director Bethan said is not true.”
Shannon got up and stuffed a packet of tissues in Fiona’s hand. She said calmly, “She is only coming up with an example and trying to say how serious rumors and gossip are. Why are you so serious?”
Then, Shannon immediately turned around and gave Bethan a look, hinting at her to quickly return to her office.
That was because according to Fiona’s tactics for the past few days, she would definitely contact Brettley next.
She would either say her agitated emotions affected her body or how Bethan scolded her indirectly.
However, what Bethan and Shannon did not expect was not only did Fiona’s illness not flare up that day, but she also did not look for Brettley.
Fiona took a piece of tissue and wiped her tears. In the end, she took a deep breath and continued filling up the form in her hands.
Bethan and Shannon looked at each other. There was a little disbelief in their eyes.
Since when has Fiona changed her nature?
Charmaine, by the side, could no longer bear to watch it. She directly took her phone and dialed the president’s office.
“What? The president is not here today?”
Although Charmaine’s voice was not loud, the entire office was too quiet.
Bethan who was just entering her office heard what Charmaine said. She could not help but smile.
No wonder.
No wonder Fiona did not put on a show saying her illness acted up.
Turns out, Brettley was not in the office.
Bethan sneered out loud. She thought of what Mrs. Collins said in the mall the day before.
Fiona was obviously pretending.
As she thought about that, Bethan opened her office door.
What she saw made her instantly stunned.
She finally knew why everyone outside would say that she had a new lover.
There were thousands upon thousands of roses in her office.
Huge bouquets of roses had filled up every inch of her office.
Each of the roses was beautiful, they were even glistening with water droplets on it.
It looked like they were sent over this morning.
However, Banyan City was not a city that produced roses abundantly.
That many roses…
It looked like the entire city’s supply of roses was bought?
Bethan looked at the flaming red scene in front of her in shock. She was suddenly speechless.
When she was young, she did indeed hope that the person that she loved would give her fresh red roses.
However, at that moment, she was no longer the gullible damsel that could be easily coaxed.
Who in the world would send her so many roses?
Bethan furrowed her brows. She went out and looked for Shannon.
“What is going on?”
Shannon pursed her lips. She opened her mouth and said awkwardly, “I don’t know either. When I came here this morning, there were already a few car-
loads of roses waiting. When I found out that the roses were all for you, I spent a huge effort sending the cars away. If not, not only your office. The entire design department won’t be able to fit all the roses.”
Then, Shannon sighed.
“The leader of the group of cars said that a gentleman placed the order last night. He bought all the roses of Banyan City and a few neighboring cities. He said to give them all to you.”
Bethan was silent.
To be able to send a lady such a huge amount of roses Bethan could only think of one person at that moment.
Bethan took a deep breath and got Shannon to take the roses down. After giving every female staff of the company a few stalks of roses, Bethan took her phone and walked out of the office.
“Did you send the roses?”
She took a deep breath and called Christian. She did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Other than him, she could not think who else would be so childish to use such a tactic to please a lady.
Christian expressed his liking to her the day before. He even rescued her.
Christian was also a 19 -year-old brat. It was extremely normal for him to do such a thing.
Christian, on the other end of the line, had not woken up yet.
He yawned and got up from his bed while scratching his head.
“What roses? What are you talking about?”
After leaving Blue Bay Villa the night before, he had been thinking about what Bethan said throughout the entire journey back.
He thought that since Bethan was sincerely helping him, he had to pay her back with equal sincerity to be worthy of her kindness.
That was why Christian spent the entire night editing the proposal of his jewelry company back and forth. He only slept by four or five in the morning.
He did not know what roses Bethan was referring to.
Upon hearing Christian’s groggy voice, Bethan furrowed her brows.
It was not him.
After hanging up her phone, she sat in her office looking at Shannon and Zayne taking the roses away. She slumped into confusion and bewilderment.
If it was not Christian, who was it then?
Bethan was stumped. In the end, she picked her phone up and called Nigel.
“Can you check for me?”
Nigel, on the other end of the call, nodded seriously. “The group of cars were long and came majestically. I t would be easy to trace where the order came from.”
Nigel was sitting on the sofa with the laptop on his lap. He was talking to Bethan while his fingers were flying away on the keyboard.
“I…got the order. The person who ordered the flowers did not leave a name, but it’s fine. I can trace the phone number of the person who called the florist last night. From there, I could identify him. Mommy, don’t be anxious. I might need some time. I Nigel was talking while he quickly searched through the florist’s phone records.
The last number that called them was…
The moment Nigel saw the phone number, his eyes instantly widened.
Brettley Morrison?
