Chapter 74: Chapter 75

Chapter 75 The approaching man was actually Julian’s assistant, Oliver. It appeared Julian had resolved to marry Charmine.

`As long as Charmine married him... Well, any married woman would find it difficult to be a model, what more if she’s pregnant...’ Tiffany mused to herself, and her mood improved right after.

“Are these roses for Charmine? Better be nice to her,” reminded Tiffany.

“Yes.” Oliver lowered his head, but it was clear he was riddled with questions. He thought that Chairman Julian was supposed t o be dating Tiffany. Why was he pursuing Charmine now? Why was Tiffany not jealous but seemed supportive instead?

He knew he was in no place to ask these questions; he was only here to deliver flowers.

Not far away, a black luxury car was parked a t the side. Anthony was sitting in the backseat with 99 red angel’s trumpets. There was a card on top of the bouquet, and i t read, [You are so beautiful.]

Anxious, Anthony asked, “You think Charmine will like these? Flowers will work for her, right?”

Nial nodded and assured, “Of course! Women love flowers. Furthermore, these angel’s trumpets are a perfect fit for her poise and stature. If she places these flowers at her home, she’ll think of you each time. This will be better than making her some desserts that she’ll gobble up, no?”

Anthony thought of the dessert he made for Charmine, to which she merely replied, ” Stop sending me these.” His face sank; it was the first time a woman he was actively pursuing turned him down. Why not give flowers a try? 3 At this moment, Charmine left the building. Anthony then straightened his tie and prepared to exit the car with the bouquet. Chris held up his fist from the side and chirped, “Good luck!”

Anthony nodded, but as he was going to get down of the car, he noticed a man—Oliver—approaching her first, and he handed Charmine the flowers.

“Ms. Charmine, these flowers are from Chairman Julian. They’re imported roses from France. He picked out every single flower.”

Oliver intentionally emphasized the fact that Julian handpicked each flower on his own, and his tone was full of haughtiness. He knew Charmine used to desire Julian’s attention and pursued him in the past. She had to be giddy that Julian was giving her flowers at last.

So what if she was this infamous Diamond Boss? She just got lucky and struck gold. He was sure that deep inside, she was still an unclassy, uncouth, and good-for-nothing woman that would only be dependent on men.

He anticipated a favorable response from Charmine.

The last thing he expected was for Charmine to dismiss Julian’s actions as she scoffed, ” Julian himself picked out these common flowers? Wow, what bad taste he has.”

She finished her sentence and walked past Oliver, bumping against his shoulder. Oliver was shocked. Did she just say Julian had bad taste? Did she not pine for Julian’s attention before? Did she not want him to send flowers?

Tiffany witnessed the exchange and was just as dumbfounded.

She was surprised that Charmine did not care for Julian anymore. Did she not love Julian for fifteen years and went after him hopelessly? Now, all of a sudden, she did not want him anymore? 2 Anthony stopped in his tracks and looked at the bouquet in his hands.

`Fresh flowers were common’? ‘Picking out flowers’? ‘What bad taste’?

He threw the flowers into a nearby rubbish bin and eyed Nial sharply.

Nial offered him an awkward, sheepish smile. “Err... I didn’t know my sister-in-law has such a unique taste?”

At this moment, Oliver remembered Chairman Julian’s instructions and ran after Charmine thick-skinned. “Ms. Charmine, please accept this as a demonstration of the chairman’s affection for you. If you have anything to discuss with him, please look for him directly to discuss it. Please don’t put m e in an awkward position...”

Charmine stopped in her tracks and looked a t him with a ridiculous expression.

“Do I have to sign an acknowledgment of receipt too?”
