"Paperwork, meetings, and more paperwork." She chuckled. "I'll be sending you some files so that you can prepare for the meeting this afternoon."

It was going to be a busy day, Lu Mengjie knew that and that was what she needed to distract herself from the man that had been filling her mind. Since last night. At least that was what she thought.

An hour before lunch, Monica appeared with a bouquet of red roses. "Ms. Lu, someone has sent this for you."

"Eh?" She blinked a few times as she accepted the bouquet from her. "From who?"

"They haven't given their name."

Lu Mengjie noticed a note. She took the card and read it. 

[Roses are red. Violets are blue but no flowers in this world are as beautiful as you. Let's have lunch together. -YL]

In an instant, Lu Mengjie's face darkened. She knew who it came from. It was from the man that she has been trying to avoid since this morning.

"Monica dear, I want you to do something for me."

…

Inside a black SUV Mustang that was waiting at the parking lot…

"Don't worry, Mr. Yong! Jiejie will definitely fall in love with you all over again once she receives it!" Wei Sianqi said through the video call.

Yong Liwei sighed. It was so out of his character to give someone a bouquet with a sweet note written on it. He could only hope that it would work its trick to pacify Lu Mengjie's anger.

Knock knock

He turned and saw a male staff member outside of the car. He was holding a box.

Yong Liwei pressed a button to lower the glass window.

"From Ms. Lu." The other man gave the box to him.

Yong Liwei was instantly filled with hope when he accepted the box. Did Wei Sianqi's trick really work? He couldn't believe it.

He opened the box and when he saw the contents inside, the hope he had inside instantly disappeared. His jaw tightened and his face darkened.

The only contents of the box were a divorce paper with Lu Mengjie's signature. There was a card with a note on it.

[I shouldn't have dragged you into this marriage.]

…

Lu Mengjie couldn't concentrate on her work anymore after she sent her reply. She had made up her mind about it. It was better to end her relationship with him before it could get worse than it already was. She didn't want to fall for any of his traps anymore. She didn't want to be deceived by a manipulative man like him.

Fifteen minutes after she sent her reply, Monica entered, bringing the same box she had sent Yong Liwei.

She was hesitant to open it. For some reason, she was scared to see his signature on the divorce papers. The more she stared at the box, the more her chest tightened. She felt her heart being torn to pieces.

"Be strong, Mengjie," she whispered to herself. Her hands trembled when she held the box's cover. She inhaled deeply then exhaled, trying to calm the storm inside her but it didn't work. This was it. This was the end for them. At least that was what she thought.

When she opened the box, her eyes widened in disbelief the moment she saw the papers torn to pieces. There was another card with a note written on it: 

[You've already dragged me into this so you have to take responsibility.]

It was then she heard Monica's voice outside her office. "Sir, please stop before I call the securities!"

"Sir!"

The door flew open and there he was with his tailored slacks and vest. His black hair was well-groomed as usual, but it was his wild, blazing eyes that drew her attention. He was breathtakingly hot that she couldn't help but unconsciously say, "You're beautiful."

His brows lifted as he was caught off-guard by the words that fell out from her mouth. Softness came into his eyes. "I'm pleased you like what you see."

Lu Mengjie was snapped out of her trance and she couldn't help but scold herself for getting attracted by the handsome creature in front of her. Why did she have such a weakness? 

"Monica, it's fine. You can leave us," she ordered. After the other woman closed the door behind him, she gathered her courage to return her gaze at him. "Let's get this over with as soon as possible. I'm not interested in seeing you anymore."

His jaw tightened. "I don't believe you." He began strutting towards her. He stopped in front of her desk. "We both know that you don't mean that."

She averted her eyes off him, not being able to look at him in the eyes for long. If she stared longer, she knew that she would only end up being drawn to him. It was unfair. Why did he have such an effect on her?

"If you want to talk, then let's talk."

"Yong Liwei, I'm busy. Can't you see that I'm working? Aren't you supposed to be at work too?"

"I would rather lose my job than lose you."

Thump.

Her heart began pounding like crazy when he heard what he said. She clenched her fists and tried to fight back the feelings she had for him. No, she was not going to fall for those empty words.

"Please leave," she said coldly. 

"Give me another chance."

She didn't want to hear those words.

"I'll wake Han Yizhou for you."

A knit formed between her brows as she glared at him. How dare he use that card on her. "Don't you dare use him like that!"

"I'll use him however I want if that's what it takes to make you stay."
