A storm of emotions was brewing behind Justin’s gloomy face. Be, on the other hand, did not have


    suchplicated thoughts. In her mind, she was cursing her bad luck.


    Be thought, ‘Meeting this scumbag in such a romantic and beautiful ce is like stepping on dog


    shit.’


    As for Rosalind, who was clinging onto Justin, she was nothing more than an eyesore. Be’s eyes hurt


    just from the sight of the woman.


    At that moment, Christopher’s tall figure leaned towards her. His lips gently brushed against her ear,


    and he chuckled softly, “Don’t panic, I’m here.”


    Be’s ear twitched, and she cursed in confusion. She thought, ‘What’s the fuss about? Just deal with it


    when ites. If they behave like dogs, let’s beat them like dogs.’


    “Ms. Thompson, I didn’t expect to meet you here,” Rosalind said sweetly, hiding her previous


    confrontational attitude. She continued, “Is this gentleman your new boyfriend? You two look so perfect


    together.”


    Be’s gaze remained indifferent, showing no interest in interacting with the scheming woman. Despite


    Be’sck of reaction, Christopher smirked, “Thank you for your praise. However, I am not Be’s


    boyfriend at the moment.”


    Be seemed oblivious to his statement, but when Justin heard it, his expression froze, and he


    clenched his fist. He thought, ‘Not at the moment? Will it be sooner orter? Is this guy trying to


    provoke me by implying they’re dating, or has she moved on so fast?’


    With her hands wrapped around Justin’s arm, Rosalind sensed his body tense with anger. She realized


    he hadn’t let go of Be despite everything.


    It appeared that Be had discovered a new love interest, bringing a sense of relief to Rosalind. ‘At


    least one of them has fully moved on from their three-year marriage,’ she thought, finding sce in the


    idea.


    Rosalind couldn’t help but wonder about Be’s seemingly charmed romantic life. Pondering to herself,


    she mused, ‘Which family does this young master belong to? He’s not only handsome but also


    possesses a good temperament.’


    Breaking the silence, Christopher asked, “Is Mr. Salvador here to apany his fiancée to enjoy the


    flowers?” He added, with a slight smirk, “You should hurry. Rose Manor will be closing soon.”


    “I can’t afford to waste time on that,” Justin retorted, shooting Christopher a hostile look and


    deliberately ignoring Be. “Secretary Harris, get in touch with the Rose Manor contact. We need to


    hash out the details of our coboration.”


    Ian promptly responded, “Yes, Mr. Salvador.” swiftly pulling out his phone to dial the number. Within


    moments, the phone rang loudly.


    It was audible to everyone and was seemingly approaching them!


    “Strange… Sounds like that person is nearby,” Ian remarked, scanning the area in confusion.


    The distinctive ringtone echoed nearby, and a man sprinted over, announcing, “Mr. Iverson


    Justin was taken aback, his attention fixed on the approaching man holding a ringing cell phone.


    “Mr. Iverson, you’ve got a call,” the secretary said, offering the phone to Christopher. He did not forget


    to shoot a disdainful nce at the Salvador team.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    Christopher, seemingly unfazed, smiled and effortlessly ended the call with a casual sweep of his cold,


    pale fingertips across the screen.


    At that very moment, the calls on Ian’s end abruptly ceased. Ian stood there, phone in hand, mouth


    slightly agape, clearly taken aback.


    Meanwhile, Justin, in a state of disbelief, squinted his eyes and turned visibly pale.


    “The owner of Rose Manor you’re trying to reach, Mr. Salvador, is me. Unfortunately, I’ve already


    secured an exclusive partnership. It appears Mr. Salvador will be leaving empty- handed,” Christopher


    stated, directing his gaze toward Be.


    “Ms. Thompson, I’ve epted your proposal for coboration,” Christopher continued.


    Be’s beautiful eyes widened as she observed the man extending his right hand towards her.


    Christopher added, “Here’s to a fruitful coboration in the future.”


    She casually nced at Justin, whose expression was darkening, his eyes bloodshot.


    Seeing Justin’s defeated face, she felt a genuine sense of satisfaction. However, winning without a fight


    felt like bullying.


    Oh well, savor the victory for now!


    Be’s lips curled into a smile, two yful dimples appearing on her cheeks. She gracefully extended


    her hand and shook hands firmly with Christopher, saying, “Looking forward to a sessful


    partnership, Mr. Iverson.”
