Chapter 1184 âUmâ¦â
Ninian looked at Everett as she tried to explain the situation to him.
Instead of looking at her, he was looking at the florist.
At that moment, the florist was in a daze as he stammered, âAâAre you sure? Are you really going to pay me ten times more?â
Everett frowned. His expression was as cold as ice.
He said, âIâll give you twenty times more if you clear this up in five minutes. Iâll deduct for every oneâ
second delay.â
The florist quickly perked up. He immediately ordered people to clear up the flowers. They were quick as a flash.
âWait for a second,â Everett said.
The florist suddenly tensed up, afraid that Everett changed his mind.
Everett then said, âAs for the flowers, throw them into a bin far from here.â
The florist let out a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and assured him, âDonât worry, sir! Iâll make sure they disappear completely.â
In just five minutes, the bunch of roses was gone. Not even a piece of leaf remained in sight.
Zayn sent an assistant to make the payment. Soon, the florist drove off with the flowers.
Everyone was in a daze as they watched this.
Outsiders watched with excitement. They thought Everett had done it for the sake of his work. âSure enough, thatâs The Everett for us. Heâs really dedicated to his work!â
As for those who knew what was truly happening, they sat back and watched as they shifted their gazes between Ninian and Everett.
No one dared to gossip about it. After all, the last person who insulted Ninian was approached by a legal team and taken to court.
The issues about the roses were resolved, but the bigger issue here was Everett.
Ninian looked at Everett with an uneasy expression.
As for Everett, he directly turned and left, without even looking at her.
Ninian slumped her shoulders when she saw this. She frowned bitterly.
âWhat should I do? How am I going to coax him?â âQuick, chase after him!â A young female artist urged Tier, âBoys are easier to coax than girls. Just sweet talk to him.â
âThatâs right! Ninian, believe in yourself!â After being urged by a few friendly female artists, she came back to her senses and swiftly chased after Everett.
âAlright, everyone. Get back to work,â a staff member called out. Soon, everyone returned to their respective set and positions.
At the VIP lounge area, Ninian looked at the closed door, feeling a little overwhelmed.
âHe even closed the door. Heâs ignoring me, isnât he?â
âMs. Winters, hereâs the key.â Zayn handed the key to her. He smiled and said when he noticed Ninian, he hesitated. âThis key was specially given to me by Mr. Craig before he went in. I guess he wants me to pass it to you.â
Ninian was stunned and chuckled.
âWhy is Everett so cute?â
She took the key, unlocked the door, and entered the lounge area. Everett was sitting in front of a computer. He looked serious.
When she walked in, he neither turned his head nor paid attention to her.
âEverett?â Ninian called out softly.
He continued to type on the keyboard, not bothered by her at all.
He was cold as ice. He refused to raise his head to look at her.
Ninian did not feel dejected. She approached him and grabbed his arm as she asked, âAre you really going to ignore me?â
Everett tensed up for a moment. He quickly relaxed, but continued to ignore her.
