Chapter 322 Rejoice, Walter!
He sneered, pointing at the documents he had brought in, “Go through them roughly, sign them. I’ll need them later.”
I nodded, moving to the office desk to prepare to read the documents.
“Knock, knock!” The office door was knocked.
Instinctively, I had opened my mouth, “Come in.”
Because Alexander was there, I looked up to see who it was. Unexpectedly, I heard Alexander let out a hiss, followed by his teasing voice saying, “Oh, another bunch, really a rich man, even brought pastries, so generous?”
Hearing his words, I couldn’t help but look up, seeing a delivery man moving a large bunch of brightly wrapped flowers into the office. Why use the word “moving”? It was indeed because the bouquet was somewhat excessively large, so big that one might not be able to hold it with both arms. The delivery guy had brought it on a trolley.
Moving the flowers into the office, the delivery guy brought in a few boxes of pastries. Then, he took out a slip, walked up to me and said, “Ms. Conner, all the items have been delivered. Could you please sign for them?”
I glanced at the flowers that took up more than half of my office, and those pastries, feeling surprised, but still picked up the pen and signed.
After the delivery guy left, Alexander looked at me with a teasing smile, raising an eyebrow and joking, “No way, is this rich guy planning to send you flowers all day? If he sends any more to this office, I’m afraid there won’t be any room left, right?”

I ignored him, feeling suspicious. Why was Daniel sending flowers again? And such a large bouquet, it must have contained thousands of flowers, right? The delivery guy just now seemed to have a hard time carrying it.
I walked to the edge of the flowers, looked around, and caught sight of a box placed in the middle of the large flower bed. I reached out, picked up the box, opened it, and found a note inside.
“Oh, a love letter?” Alexander, standing behind me, said in a teasing
tone.
I pursed my lips, avoiding his gaze, moved aside, and unfolded the note. It only had a few words left on it, “Wish you joy, Walter!”
Walter!
Walter!
For a moment, I felt numb all over, abruptly closing the note. I stared at the huge plate of flowers in front of me, my heart beating wildly out of control.
Why did he suddenly give me flowers?
“Don’t say, these pastries taste quite good, all are what you usually like.” Alexander looked at the few boxes of pastries on the coffee table, glanced at me and said, “It seems that the one surnamed Yi knows you quite well.”
I suppressed the turmoil of emotions in my heart, trying my best to act as if nothing had happened, and looked at him, saying, “Eat more if you like it.”
He raised an eyebrow, smirking, “If you want to shut me up, just say so.” After saying that, he said with a smug face, “Then I won’t be polite.”

He then took a few boxes of what he liked and left.
I stared at the huge bouquet in front of me, lost in thought for a long time.
The class today, it was impossible to settle down and work peacefully.
In the evening.
After finishing the pile of documents that had been accumulating for a long time, I started packing up to go home. When I was leaving the office, I saw Alexander was also preparing to leave.
I couldn’t help but ask, “Are you going home? Come with me.
He fiddled with the car keys, shaking his head, “I just told Auntie Eileen, I have plans tonight, I won’t be home for dinner.”
I frowned, “Made an appointment?”
He nodded, looking at me and said, “I can take you home if you don’t want to take a taxi, and then go to my appointment.”
I shook my head, feeling doubtful, “Friend? Or…” Socializing was out of the question, so it had to be a friend. But he hadn’t been in River City for long and didn’t have many friends. Instinctively, I thought of Olivia and couldn’t help but ask, “Olivia?”
He shook his head, “No, it’s fine, let’s not talk anymore. You don’t want me to walk you out, I’ll leave first.”
After speaking, he left in a great hurry.
Wasn’t it Olivia?
Who was that?

Out of curiosity, I followed him downstairs. He walked quickly and by the time I came out, I saw that he had already started the car and left.
Who did this person meet that they’re so enthusiastic?
“Tabatha.” A cool male voice sounded not far away. I instinctively turned around, unexpectedly seeing a familiar man by the black Bugatti car not far away.)
