The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 171

She was being entirely too dramatic. She had already slept with him, so why on earth was she throwing a tantrum over a gift box?

When he brought those things over today, she immediately recognized reality.

With just a casual move, he could force her to bow her head.

Perhaps this was what it meant to be a true heavyweight. He didn't even need to lose his temper. He controlled the resources, leaving her to soothe her own wounded pride.

Last night, she had truly been too willful and inconsiderate.

Elara immediately said, "Mr. Whitaker, look at the time. It's getting late. Let's grab dinner together tonight."

Zane's face instantly lit up, and he agreed.

Sure enough, sincerity was the ultimate weapon. As long as he explained himself properly, she would understand him.

"Then, please take a seat, Mr. Whitaker. I have a bit more work to finish up."

Zane quickly stood up. "I can help you review the documents."

Elara didn't refuse. She walked over and pulled out the chair across from her desk.

Zane shot her a covert, resentful look before taking a seat.

Elara personally brewed a cup of coffee and brought it over to him.

Zane couldn't resist secretly brushing against her hand.

Elara's movements paused, and Zane seized the opportunity to grab her hand.

She tried to pull back immediately, but he refused to let go.

Elara frowned. "Mr. Whitaker..."

Zane tightened his grip and lowered his voice. "Don't be mad anymore. I really didn't mean anything by it. I just thought they were nice gifts."

His sudden submission made Elara feel a bit embarrassed.

"I understand, Mr. Whitaker."

Zane's thumb gently caressed the back of her hand as he looked up at her.

His gaze was entirely too direct. Elara's face flushed, and she quickly pulled her hand back. "I'll go get the files for you."
