Gilda received a message.

from Braydon.

Braydon: [Gilly, did you miss me? Your dearest brother missed you so much!

Gilda felt goosebumps rise on her skin she quickly typed on her phone.

Gilda: [No.]

After the message sent turned to her assistant and said, “You sign for it for me, and then distribute the flowers to female colleagues in company

“OK.” The assistant left the office.

After that, Gilda continued to the document when Cheney Lewis, the director of the Expansion Department, knocked on the door and came in.

“Good morning, Ms. Lynch,” said Cheney

Cheney walked to Gilda’s and handed over the folder. His flashed with a hidden shrewdness as he said, “This this month’s income statement. Please a look

Gilda didn’t take it. She just looked at Cheney indifferently and asked, “What’s the matter, Mr. Lewis

Then Gilda glanced the document in Cheney’s hand and said, “You could just leave it to my assistant. Why bother?

Cheney’s smile warmer, though there was a hint of discomfort as he feigned nervousness. “Ms. Lynch, here’s the thing. I acted foolishly at the last meeting and inadvertently offended you.”

Gilda smiled aloof and said, “It’s fine it go.”

“When I went back, the more I thought about it the guiltier I felt. So I am wondering if I may have the honor to invite you to dinner tonight a way of apologizing to you. What do think?

you

“I have new hand news about Stark Group, and I want to share it with you privately, Ms. Lynch,” said Cheney.

Cheney was humble and different from the arrogant manner in the meeting room that day.

Gilda had seen through his hypocrisy. She her fingers and said, “All right, I’ll have dinner with you today.”

Gilda had just come to know Timothy, and Cheney knew that she was interested in Stark Group. Such a person should not underestimated.

Whether Cheney had any inside information about Stark Group, Gilda had to what Cheney up to today.

“That’s great. Ms. Lynch, let’s meet Timson Restaurant tonight said Cheney.

Meanwhile, downstairs in the hall the airlifted from abroad, filled the air with sweet fragrance yet Gilda nowhere to be found.

Dillan quietly crouched on one side of the hall trying to surprise Gilda when she received the bouquet. At last, he only assistant in a work suit come down to sign for it, and security guards behind the assistant carried the bouquet upstairs

Dillan wouldn’t give up. There was his handwritten letter in the bouquet.

Dillan waited until it was time to get off work. Girls in the whole office building passed by him with several . Seeing this Dillan gave up. He realized that Gilda had directly shared the with the staff without looking at them.

Feeling depressed, Dillan looked up the recruitment information on the billboard and smiled.

Another idea to him.

Gilda came to Timson Restaurant work.

It was a famous restaurant in Allath, and all the celebrities would meals here.

Cheney could not be able to afford it as a working–class man. It must something to do with the person from Stark Group behind him.

Walking through the dreamlike golden lights, Gilda guided by a waiter to Cheney’s table.

“Good evening, Ms. Lynch,” said Cheney.

Seeing Gilda, Cheney didn’t get up but lit a cigarette. His attitude quite different from that in the office.

Gilda was not annoyed. She put down her handbag with a smile and sat down, saying, “I wonder what the inside information you said about Stark Group

Cheney shook the soot and scanned Gilda up and down with his greedy eyes. “Don’t fret we can after dined.”

“There’s no need to rush.” Cheney got up, walked to Gilda’s put his hand on the of the chair, and leaned down close to her.
