Chapter 50
Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love
âNo⦠Itâs impossible.â After a while, someone said in a daze.
âDefinitely not. It should be someone with the same name.â said another man decisively.
âHow is it possible for Mr. Landor to send flowers to Susan? As far as I know, heâs been married.â
âThatâs right. This is either someone with the same name, or itâs a mistake.â
Everyone was talking about it. Only Susan knew the truth.
This bouquet was probably from Ben.
But⦠Why?
She was a little flustered.
Everyone said that Ben was eccentric and unpredictable.
So, what was his purpose of sending flowers?
âI guess itâs the wrong one.â Susan gave a strained smile. She got the crowd off and then arranged the flowers into the vase in public.
The roses were quite blue and mysterious.
As she looked up from her table, she could see that clearly.
All morning, Susan was feeling uneasy.
For a moment, she wanted to call Ben and ask him about it.â
But she was afraid of disturbing him.
By now, she had all kinds of speculation in her mind. They were just getting on her nerves.
It wasnât until the afternoon that she eventually calmed down.
No matter what Ben meant, her work came first.
She took a deep breath and focused on her work.
MMMM She believed, âWell, work will calm me down and make me forget about the troubles.â
Early the next morning, she calmly entered the office.
Then⦠She saw the bouquet again.
The colleagues looked at her in unison.
Susan trembled as she took the card.
The signature was still Ben Landor.
Early on the third day.
Another bouquet.
Susan numbly took the card.
The signatureâBen Landor.
Looking at Susanâs expression, the colleagues didnât dare to say anything.
Susan took a deep breath.
She understood what Ben tried to express.
She would give him an explanation.
At night.
Susan took a deep breath. It had been a few days before she knocked on Benâs study again.
âCome in.â Benâs voice was steady, and she couldnât hear any emotions.
Susan walked in.
Ben raised his head and looked at her calmly, âWhatâs wrong?â
Secretly, he was smiling.
His secretary was indeed good at coaxing women.
After listening to his secretaryâs suggestions and sending gifts for a few days, he saw that Susan actually took the initiative to find him.
MMMM This time, Ben decided that as long as Susan spoke, he would definitely not stand on his dignity but immediately gave her an out.
Everything looked so fine.
âFlowers⦠You sent those flowers, right?â asked Susan softly.
âYes.â Ben remained calm.
âSusan, if you jump into my arms excitedly, I wonât refuse.â Ben told himself.
3 Sure enough, it was Ben who sent the flowers.
Then there wouldnât be any misunderstanding.
She took a deep breath and said slowly, âI got it. Iâll hand in my resignation tomorrow.
Benâs expression stiffened, and he suspected that he had misheard.
He couldnât help but ask, âSay it again. What are you going to do tomorrow?â
She pressed her lips together and said firmly, âIâll hand in my resignation.â
Ben panicked slightly.
That was not the right step, was it?
When she knew that he was the one who sent the flowers, she was not to be moved but to resign immediately. How come?!
Why?
Ben asked calmly, âWhatâs wrong with your work? Why do you suddenly want to quit?â
Susan looked at Ben with a complicated feelings, âMr. Landor, this is obviously what you mean, isnât it?â
He frowned. âWhat?â
Susan lowered her head slightly. âYou gave me the benefits of ordering food before, which actually implied that I should not leave the office even if it was time to have dinner. Now you send me flowers every day signed off with your name, which tells me that even if Iâm in the office, you still mind about my existence. So, 74% 16:10 Iâll leave the Storm Group and find another job. Iâll stay as far away from the Storm. Group as possible.
Please donât worry, Mr. Landor.â
Ben was confused.
So this was his meaning, huh?
âSince Iâve made it clear, I should go.â Susan turned around and wanted to leave.
âWait!â Ben quickly stopped her.
âAny other instructions?â Susan lowered her head.
Looking at her like this, Ben was quite helpless.
After a while, he said, âI send you flowers. Why canât it be that I just want to do so?â
âHow is that possible?â said Susan softly, âAlthough weâre married, according to the promise made before, our marriage is confidential to the public. So, they only know that you are married, but they donât know who your wife is. Under such circumstances, you suddenly send me flowers every day.
Then what would others. think about it?â
âThink what?â Ben didnât realize the situation.
Susan looked up at him, âThey will believe that I am a mistress who destroys other peopleâs families.â
Now, Ben was startled.
It took him a while to realize, âBut you are my wife.â
âBut weâve agreed not to disclose it.â said Susan calmly, âWell, in other peopleâs opinion, Iâm a mistress.
At present, the colleagues in the Programming Department are still friendly so that such remarks have not beenâspread out yet. But if you keep sending flowers, thereâs no way you can hide it. Once the public. opinion ferments, how can I survive in the Storm Group? So, Mr. Landor, you are doing this way just to force me to leave. I understand what you mean.â
Ben was speechless.
He didnât even realize his meaning behind it.
âIf thereâs no more question, I should leave.â said Susan softly.
MMMM Then, she turned around and left.
Ben looked at her back, frustrated.
He made a fool of himself.
74% 10:11 Looking blankly at his phone, Ben sent a message to his secretary, âYour bonus for this month is gone.â
The secretary was wondered why.
Ben quickly thought about it after he put the phone aside.
It was impossible to let Susan resign.
He must do something.
âBenâs eyes twitched slightly, and he already had a plan. â
The next day.
Susan came to work with her resignation.
Today, there were no flowers on the table.
Susan understood it.
Sure enough, Ben meant that. After she said she would resign, he would no longer be upset.
Susan took the resignation letter and entered Lukeâs office.
Luke looked at the resignation letter which was a little surprising but still understandable.
He looked at Susan with a complicated feelings, âYou and Mr. Landorâ¦â
Even if Luke didnât like gossiping, he had heard about Benâs big news.
For the first time, colleagues were just talked about it casually. Even some people thought the flowers were sent to the one with the same name.
But Ben didnât hide his gift secretly. As soon as people probed seriously, they would find out that the person who sent the flowers was Ben for sure.
But Ben was already married.
His power and prestige were clear to see here, so even if he was already married yet still sent flowers to other women, people wouldnât dare to gossip about him but all the public opinion was concentrated on Susan.
âActually, itâs all speculation from other departments. No one in our office has mentioned this matter; so you can still stay here.â Luke tried to stop her.
Susan was stunned for a moment, âHas it spread all over the other departments?â
Emmmâ¦
Luke didnât dare to speak.
