“I took it seriously.”
Ryan’s sturdy physique pressed on her body as he kissed her domineeringly and affectionately.
He even forcefully put her hands around his neck.
Mireya lifted her head. The kiss made her shudder all over.
While feeling dazed, she recalled what Cate said.
It was fine if the two of them did this once or twice. However, if they did it frequently…
They surely would not be able to hide their relationship for long.
She reflected on how protective Heidi was toward her this morning. Heidi genuinely treated Mireya as her goddaughter.
Would Heidi be disappointed if she found out that Mireya had seduced her son?
She felt nervous and uneasy.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs.
Her body tensed up.
Nevertheless, Ryan did not leave his hands free. Instead, he stopped kissing her and said, ” These earphones use Bluetooth. You try and connect it now.”
Mireya widened her eyes. His shamelessness left her speechless. “I… I can’t connect it.”
“Stupid.”
One minute later, the sound of mopping was getting closer.
Ryan finally let go of her.
He looked decent, whereas Mireya’s clothes were messy.
As such, Ryan helped to tidy her clothes, and Mireya kicked him in annoyance.
“Young Master, do you need me to mop your room?” The servant’s voice sounded.
“Yes. Do mop it.” After that, Ryan moved closer to Mireya’s ear. “You may go down first. I need to go to the restroom.”
Mireya understood in a second what he meant. Before she turned around and left the room, she glanced at him to hint that he had it coming.
?
When Mireya got in the car, she still felt guilty.
The feeling of being secretive in The Lodge would surely torture her to madness sooner or later.
Not long after, Ryan sent her a WhatsApp message: [I miss you…]
That message almost made Mireya throw her phone out. It was driving her crazy.
Soon after she arrived at the company, an assistant brought a bouquet to her. “Manager Lynch, someone has sent you a bouquet.”
Mireya put down the test tube in her hand, took off her gloves, and took over the flowers wrapped in pink wrapping paper. There was not only one type of flower in it. In fact, hydrangeas, bellflowers, tulips, and many other species of beautiful flowers were matched together. It was gorgeous and fragrant.
There was a small card on the bouquet. Mireya opened the card, which wrote, “I miss you, my princess…”
She could not think of anyone else who would write such sweet words besides a certain someone.
Mireya grabbed her phone and sent Ryan a picture of the flowers: [Is this from you?]
Ryan: [Do you like it, my princess?]
Mireya: [I like it.]
Then, she sent him a kissing emoji.
Mireya personally put the flowers into a vase.
Her colleagues said in envy, “Wow, the flowers are so pretty. It must be your boyfriend who sent them.”
“Manager Lynch, when will your boyfriend treat us to a meal?”
Mireya’s fingers stiffened, and a pang of guilt hit her.
Her laboratory colleagues had met Ryan before, but they did not know of his identity. If he were to treat them to a meal, he might get exposed when they ask about his job. “When we get the chance in the future. He’s very busy with his job now.”
“You’re right. I haven’t seen him around to pick you up lately too. By the way, Manager Lynch, what’s your boyfriend’s job?”
“He’s… just a normal office worker. I hope everyone can keep it a secret. We’re currently just dating.”
“I understand. You’re still young. There’s no need to start another marriage so hastily.”
Her colleagues had studied abroad, so they were all open-minded. No one urged and talked about the idea of women needing to get married earlier.
“Manager Lynch, someone has sent you flowers again.” The assistant, who had left not long ago, returned. This time, she had a bouquet of pink roses in her hands.
“Wow. Manager Lynch, you’re very popular lately,” her colleagues joked.
Mireya forced a smile. After receiving the flowers, she saw the words written on the card, “If there’s a time machine, I’ll surely go back in time and cherish you.”
An uncomfortable feeling welled up in her.
She returned the flowers to the assistant without hesitation. “Take it out and throw it for me.”
Stunned, the assistant said hesitantly, “It’s a pity to throw such beautiful flowers away. Can I take it outside and decorate the office with it?”
“Do as you wish.”
Mireya did not insist further. The person who sent the flowers was hateful, but the flowers had nothing to do with it. It was fine as long as it was not placed in front of her to disgust her.
The next few days, Rodney had people send flowers over every day.
Mireya really wanted to ignore him. She was not even interested in calling him to scold him.
However, during a meeting on Wednesday, Cate announced, “Osher Corporation has agreed to our acquisition. We’ll sign the contract this Friday.”
?
“That’s great.”
Everyone in the meeting room cheered.
The marketing department manager said, “We even thought the acquisition would take a few months. I can’t believe would be completed in a week. It’s too surprising.”
“Osher Corporation is a spent force. Holding out will only be a waste of money.” Cate smiled faintly. “Okay. Once we successfully acquire Osher Corporation, there will be a large shift within the company’s internal employees. Of course, Freycatheli’s status in Australia will level up as well, so the marketing department should get prepared. Let the outsiders know about this acquisition, and make it clear to them that the boss of Osher Corporation will no longer be Rodney but Freycatheli.”
“After the acquisition, should the shop-in-shop of Osher Corporation at the malls be removed?”
“No, but change all of the signages to Freycatheli’s.”
After the meeting ended and the senior managers left one after another, Mireya said, “Can I not go to the contract signing? You’re the person in charge of the company. It’ll be fine as long as you go. I don’t want to see Rodney.”
“But you’re the company’s founder on paper. If you don’t go, Osher Corporation will have an excuse to refuse to sign the contract.” Cate placed her palms on the office table. Then, she inclined her body and looked toward Mireya. “Do you know why the acquisition was so swift? It was because of Rodney’s cooperation. Otherwise, there would be other companies wanting to acquire Osher Corporation too, and competing with them would take up to a few months.”
Mireya said bitterly, “Back then, I wanted to acquire Osher Corporation to humiliate Rodney. However, I don’t think there’s a need for it now. He keeps having thoughts of getting back together with me. To be honest, I feel disgusted. Can’t he have some self-awareness?”
“Don’t think about that anymore. Anyway, acquiring Osher Corporation will save us lots of money and resources. We’ll be able to expand our operating scale quickly as well.” Cate put on a serious expression. “Don’t forget what we said about expanding Freycatheli to an international level.”
Mireya went silent.
