*UN 90% 11:01 Dillan said in a serious but tender voice, âGilda, Iâm 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, itâs not too late. Weâre both single, arenât we? I can be your boyfriend anytime as long as you say yes to me.â
After saying that, Dillan turned to leave.

After saying that, Dillan left the office.
But Gilda was upset all day because of his words.
Gilda considered Dillan a friend, and that was all.
However, Dillan was 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.
âAunt Helen!â called out Gilda joyfully, Looking at Gildaâs haggard face on the screen, Helen asked worriedly, âGilly, youâve been busy with work, havenât you?â

However, Helen knew very well that Gilda was a workaholic just like Jackson.
Helen said lightly, âCome over for dinner tonight. I made your favorite grilled lamb chops.â
Gilda agreed immediately, âSure, Aunt Helen! I really miss the grilled lamb chops you madeâ
Helen was amused and laughed, âOh, Gilly, you were always such a sweet girl. Take care of yourself, okay? Donât make your life all about work. Iâve asked Jackson to pick you up and heâs probably already reached. your company.â
Gilda was surprised and blurted out, âJacksonâs coming to my office?â
Helen answered, âYep. He should be arriving soon.â
Just then, Gilda saw Jackson outside the office through the glass. She smiled and said gently, âI see him! Aunt Helen, see you later!â

âJackson!â called out Gilda.

Gilda made a grimace and pouted, âHaha! Iâm just joking, Jack!â
Her voice was so soft that only she and Jackson could 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 sheâd learned from Carol and what the private investigator sheâd gotten had found out about Gilda.
To Linda, Gilda was just a divorced woman who definitely didnât deserve Jackson.
âMs. Lynch!â greeted Linda and it was only then did Gilda notice her.
Gilda asked curiously, âMay I know your name?â
Linda did not speak but looked at Jackson.
Linda tried to Hint to Jackson to introduce her to Gilda, but Jacksonâs eyes were on Gilda and he didnât notice Linda at all.
