Chapter 546
The girl put on a courteous smile when she saw Tessa. “We had a guest who told us to send these flowers to you.” she explained. Then, she handed the bouquet to Tessa. Tessa was more confused than ever-who would order her a bouquet of flowers at this time of the night?
She felt dazed for a moment before noticing a card stuck in the bouquet. The sender was Nicholas. She felt both touched and slightly puzzled at the same time. Why is he buying flowers for me out of nowhere? She couldn’t understand what was happening, so she brought the bouquet of flowers up to her room before video-calling Nicholas.
“What is it?” he asked when he picked up the call.
“Why did you tell the florist to send me flowers, Nicholas?” Tessa held the bouquet in front of her while she stared at the attractive man on her phone screen. He smirked as he explained himself. “I asked for their contact as I figured that it would come in handy someday. These flowers… Well…” He paused for a moment and gazed at her before speaking in his deep, attractive voice. “I bought you that to congratulate you for getting an internship,” he said.
“Why are you so nice to me, Nicholas?” Tessa’s lips spread into a huge grin-she felt as if her insides were filled with cotton candy at that moment. There was a sweet and warm sensation rushing through her blood. Even though they were thousands of miles away, she could still feel his love despite the distance, and she was genuinely thankful to have him around.
“Do you like it?” he asked with a gentle smile.
“Yeah. I love it,” she replied. Tears welled up in her eyes as she lowered her head to smell the flowers. I swear I have to work hard and succeed in what I’m doing now. My perfect boyfriend is waiting for me to go back to him, she thought. After ending the call, he went back to his work. Soon enough, Edward knocked on his door. “We just heard the news, President Sawyer. Stone Enterprise has decided to partner with Callen Incorporated for the project we were previously discussing. It seems like they’ve given up,” Edward said.
“I hope they’ve actually given up,” Nicholas replied with a cold look in his eyes. He had lost all patience with the Stone Family.
“Also, I followed your orders to make an announcement regarding the cancellation of your marriage with the woman from the Stone Family. There are a lot of companies that are now terminating their contracts with Stone Enterprise. It seems like they’ve suffered quite a huge loss,” Edward added. Nicholas simply nodded without responding as he had predicted this outcome, after all.
Back then, Stone Enterprise had used their marriage with the Sawyers to fool many other companies into partnering with them. Now, Stone Enterprise was just getting what they deserved after he exposed all the lies.
Nicholas’s secretary knocked on the door and came in while Nicholas and Edward were talking. “Miss Stone is downstairs, President Sawyer. She insists on meeting you.”
“Didn’t I tell you that I don’t want to meet anyone from that family at all?” Nicholas shot his secretary an icy glare. “Stop reporting such things to me!” he hissed.
“Yes, President Sawyer.” The secretary left the room with her back soaked in cold sweat. She returned to the office and sent his orders to the front desk. Hayley was furious when she heard the front desk telling her that he didn’t want to see her. She felt extremely dissatisfied with this outcome. So, she decided to barge into the office without asking for anyone’s permission.
One of the staff members immediately stepped forward to stop her. “I’m sorry, Miss Stone. You’re not allowed in there.”
“Step aside! F*ck off!” Hayley’s eyes were burning with rage as she shoved the staff member to the ground. “I’m the young heiress of the Stone Family. How dare you guys come in my way! I’ll make sure all of you suffer!” Her threats seemed to work for some reason, as the other staff members no longer stopped her after that.
That was how Hayley made her way to Nicholas’s office. “I-I’m sorry, President Sawyer. We failed to stop her from coming up,” one of the staff members apologized while standing behind her.
Nicholas’s face twisted into a nasty look when he saw the woman before him. “Where do you think this is, Hayley? Do you think you can barge in just like that?”
