She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 304

Dominic turned the bouquet around in his hands.

"This is the right way…"

Melanie was confused but didn't ask any questions, simply taking the flowers.

"Thank you."

The flowers were beautiful, their fragrance rich and sweet.

However, receiving such a gift from Dominic's hands, Melanie felt nothing at all.

Seeing Melanie about to casually place the bouquet on her desk, Dominic grew anxious.

"Melanie, why don't you take a closer look at this bouquet?"

Melanie was completely baffled, her gaze returning to the flowers at his prompting.

It was a bouquet of fresh, lush red roses. Each flower had been carefully selected and was of high quality.

"They're beautiful. I love them," Melanie gave Dominic a polite, professional smile and set the bouquet down.

The bouquet was top-heavy. As soon as Melanie placed it on the desk, it almost tipped over the edge, but luckily Dominic caught it in time.

Although Dominic didn't reprimand her, Melanie clearly saw a flash of anger on his face.

"Melanie…" Dominic hesitated, wanting to say more.

This Valentine's Day was different from previous years.

At least, it was different in Dominic's eyes.

In past years, on holidays like Valentine's Day, he had always given Melanie gifts, but they were thoughtless—just something bought at a suitable price and given casually.

He didn't love Melanie anyway.

And Melanie was never picky.

But this year was different.

This year, Dominic wanted to give Melanie a unique and unforgettable Valentine's Day.

Mixed in among the vibrant, fresh red roses, this "fake flower" was indeed difficult to spot at first glance.

"The real flowers are just a precursor. This is the real Valentine's Day gift I'm giving you."

Since Melanie hadn't discovered the surprise he'd prepared for her, Dominic simply pulled it out from among the red roses.

It was a metal flower.

The frame, made of rose gold, was shaped like a lifelike rose. The stem was inlaid with perfectly cut emeralds, and the petals were seamlessly encrusted with countless rubies, making it look exquisite, three-dimensional, and dazzlingly brilliant.

Only after Dominic pointed out that it was a jeweled rose made of rubies and emeralds did Melanie think that such a creation, mixed in with real flowers, was actually quite conspicuous.

She shouldn't have missed it.

Dominic thought so too.

Therefore, in his imagination, Melanie should have immediately spotted this exquisitely crafted, blindingly brilliant jeweled flower.

However, when Melanie had received the bouquet, she had been genuinely oblivious.
