There was no card, but so clearly the giver was quite aloof
Tiana exchanged a knowing look with Whitney. They both had the same suspicion.
with a twitch of her lips, Tiana said. “It’s not from L, is it? He was so harsh on you last night, but now he’s realized his mistake? The big boss is actually making an effort.”
“Wow is that an alligator skin purse? She exclaimed, picking it up with admiration,
Whitney’s small face twitched, and she gave her a look that silently forced her to put it down. Sighing, Whitney
- d. How boning, just ignore it.”
She thought he would have reflected overnight and at least understood where he went wrong.
But apparently, he had not. What was the meaning behind this extravagant display?
“Aren’t you pleased?” Tiana asked cautiously, “I thought L would just give you the cold shoulder again, but it seems he’s made some progress.”
Whitney pressed her lips, feeling tom, and grabbed her briefcase to head to work.
At Skye Gem, the morning passed without incident.
But at lunchtime, a chef from a five–star hotel made a special delivery, bringing a gourmet meal prepared especially for expectant mothers, addressed to the general manager, Whitney.
The secretarial pool was abuzz.
Was the general manager being courted by someone?
Whitney, with a cold expression, had security escort the chef away.
At three in the afternoon, two couriers arrived with armfuls of tulips air–flown from the Netherlands, destined for Whitney’s office.

Returning from a meeting, Whitney was surprised to find a boutique manager from H waiting in the lobby. politely offering her several limited edition bags.
The receptionists and passing employees were all looking on enviously.
A familiar female supervisor joked with Whitney. “Whitney, did your boyfriend upset you? This seems SO familiar. My guy tries to do the same, just on a much smaller scale. Your boyfriend has deep pockets and seems very attentive!”
Whitney, facing everyone’s sparkling eyes, felt her composure slipping away.
What the hell was L doing? His antics were disrupting her work. Was it on purpose?
Afraid he would send more distractions and disrupt the office further, Whitney decided to leave work early.
Tiana picked her up, and they waited together at a downtown café, expecting Valerie to join them.
Seeing Whitney’s exasperated face, Tiana chuckled. “L must have gotten some bad advice. Buying his way out of trouble, but don’t you feel his efforts to apologize are sincere?”
Whitney paused, a flicker of emotion crossing her face.
Tiana sighed. “Even with my limited interaction with L, I can tell he’s not one to wear his heart on his sleeve.

This might be the first time he’s gone to such lengths for a woman.”
“Are you defending him?” Whitney pouted.
Tiana waved her off. ‘As if I would! But seriously, without a personal appearance, it lacks sincerity.”
Whitney’s thoughts were a whirlwind as she looked outside.
Valerie arrived, calling them out.
The winter darkness settled early, but the city center remained vibrant. Queen’s Square was ablaze with lights, the towering skyscrapers standing sentinel. The tallest among them was the Imperial Gem Corporation Building
Outside the Imperial Gem Corporation, a man of cool elegance emerged, his deep gaze fixed on Queen’s Square. “Is she there?”
Parker nodded, guiding him. “Everything is set. Just go over there and turn Queen’s Square into a proposal scene. Got your sweet talk ready?”
Ludwik gave Parker a cold look.
sweet talks.
Nolan sympathized with Ludwik’s difficulty, it was hard to imagine Ludwik uttering
“That’s what she thinks?”
Meanwhile, the square fell into a hushed silence.
Moments ago, the tallest building went dark, then lit up with the message ‘Whitney, I’m Sorry!
Tiana gasped, “Could this be L’s doing?”
