Dillan in a serious but tender voice, “Gilda, I’m sorry for what happened before. If I had known that the person I was going to marry was you, I would never have refused. Luckily, it’s not too late. We’re both single, aren’t we? I can be your boyfriend anytime as long as you say yes to me.”

After saying that, Dillan turned to leave.

But Gilda stopped him and , “Dillan, you deserve someone better, and you don’t have to waste your

time on

Dillan smiled, “But for me, you are the best. Goddess, you don’t have to feel any pressure. After all, it’s my business to love you, and it’s your freedom whether you choose me or . Whatever the outcome, accept it with open arms.”

After saying that, Dillan left the office.

But Gilda was upset all day because of his words.

Gilda considered Dillan a friend, and that all.

However, Dillan more stubborn than Gilda thought.

Gilda sighed and forced herself to stop thinking about it. She resumed her work, and as it was nearing the end of her shift, she received a call from Helen.

“Aunt Helen!” called out Gilda joyfully,

Looking at Gilda’s haggard face on the screen, Helen asked worriedly, “Gilly, you’ve been busy with work, haven’t you?”

Gilda smiled and said, “I’m okay, Aunt Helen!”

However, Helen knew very well that Gilda was a workaholic just like Jackson.

Helen said lightly, “Come over for dinner tonight. I made your favorite grilled lamb chops.”

Gilda agreed immediately, “Sure, Aunt Helen! I really miss the grilled lamb chops you

made”

Helen was amused and laughed, “Oh, Gilly, you were always such sweet girl. Take care of yourself, okay? Don’t make your life all about work. I’ve asked Jackson to pick you up and he’s probably already reached. your company.”

Gilda was surprised and blurted out, “Jackson’s coming to my office?”

Helen answered, “Yep. He should be arriving soon.”

Just then, Gilda saw Jackson outside the office through the glass. She smiled and said gently, “I see him! Aunt Helen, see you later ”

Hearing this, Jackson raised his eyebrow, reached out to rub head, and joked, “Did forget what we said before again?”

Gilda made a grimace and pouted, “Haha! I’m just joking, Jack!”

Her voice soft only she and hear it.

Linda, who followed behind Jackson, was shocked at what she had just seen.

Her surprise turned to disdain for Gilda when she thought about what she’d learned from Carol and what the private investigator she’d gotten had found out about Gilda.

To Linda, Gilda was just a divorced woman who definitely didn’t deserve Jackson.

“Ms. Lynch!” greeted Linda and it was only then did Gilda notice her.

Gilda asked curiously, “May I know your name?”

Linda did speak but looked at Jackson.

Linda tried to Hint to Jackson to introduce her to Gilda, but Jackson’s eyes were on Gilda and he didn’t

notice Linda at .

Linda had worked for Jackson for many years, but this was the first time she had been so completely ignored by Jackson.

But even so, Linda kept a cordial smile on her face she reached out to Gilda and said, “Ms. Lynch, it’s at pleasure to meet you! I’m Mr. Moore’s assistant, Linda.”
