Finally, Janet closed the discussion page out of exasperation.
“Fight all you want. I don’t give a d*mn anymore!”
Nell also had no idea how to deal with this.
She even told Janet about her entire plan over the phone in order to calm the latter.
However, this young lady could not hold back her curiosity. She went online to check on the comments despite knowing full well people were throwing angry words in her direction and that would only result in upsetting herself.
Gideon was ever more calm-headed in comparison to Nell.
Though Matthew was undoubtedly confused. The President normally treasured Missus but how could he remain so unbothered by the cruel comments online that were directed at her?
He had to beat around the bush more than once to ask if Gideon wanted to take some actions.
Even if he could not stop the situation entirely, at least the thought of doing something could please Missus.
A woman would undoubtedly feel helpless at times like these.
She must think poorly of her husband who had not taken any action despite having a full understanding of what was going on!
The President behaved as if nothing had happened at all and Matthew was beginning to doubt if this was the man who had requested him to pick out a gift just several days ago.
Finally, Gideon decided to do something one day.
“What’s happening in the film set?”
Matthew suddenly became fully interested and quickly seized the chance. “One more week until the last day of shooting. Missus is very occupied lately with a huge workload. She has basically been working from morning until late night almost every day.”
Gideon furrowed his brow.
He did not comment further but posed another question. “Anything else?”
This caught Matthew by surprise. He did not quite understand what that meant.
He was suddenly reminded of the interesting incident that happened not long ago thus he tried tentatively. “I heard that Missus and Celine have been getting along well lately. They were not affected by the rumors online but there are still some people that aren’t behaving friendly with Missus.
That’s because Young Master Morton has been delivering flowers to Celine at the film set almost every day. People are beginning to think that the rumors are true, that Missus is in fact in the wrong, therefore…”
Gideon, who was mid writing, stopped abruptly.
Matthew was glad.
There!
He knew it!
He knew the President would be bothered by this.
“Flowers? What kind of flowers?”
“Um, red roses.”
“Ha! Gross!”
He said again a couple of seconds later, “Get someone to prepare 9999 red roses and deliver them to Missus.”
“????”
Matthew did not know what to say.
‘Didn’t you say it’s gross? Doesn’t doing that hurt your conscience?’ he thought to himself.
Gideon coughed awkwardly when the other man remained standing there.
“What? I meant it’s gross to give Celine red roses, not the flower itself.”
“…”
Matthew was speechless.
“Okay.”
‘Alright! You’re the President. Anything you say is right.’
Matthew then left to make the arrangements while Gideon sat there for a while. Suddenly, he reached for his phone and clicked into a photo from the album.
It was a photo of a pottery jar decorated with cute paintings. It looked fairly artistic.
He frowned subconsciously.
Was this thoughtful?
Romantic?
“Celine, why are you still sitting here? Go and have a look. Young Master Morton delivered so many flowers for you!”
Celine was dumbfounded.
In the past few days, Jason had been displaying his affection for her publicly despite treating her rather indifferently at home.
She knew that the two of them had grown distant since the previous incident. However, she was occupied with work lately and did not have the time to explain herself either.
She had originally intended to speak with him openly after work today but what was going on now?
The person quickly grabbed her by the arm upon seeing her sitting there in a daze.
“Um, you should just come and have a look for yourself.”
Celine trailed after the woman to the scene. She was also stunned upon witnessing the sea of red roses.
Was this… Was this a gift from Brother Jay?
There must be at least a few thousands of them here?
Although Jason had been sending her flowers over the past few days, it was only a small bouquet a day.
She knew he was only intending to put on a show thus she never expected too much from the man.
However…
This seemed too extravagant for putting on a false display!
Could it be possible that Brother Jay had forgiven her?
Celine was over the moon. Simultaneously, a staff approached her with a question. “Are you Miss Jennings?”
“Yes, that’s me.” She nodded frantically.
“Hello, these are your flowers. There are 9999 flowers in total. Please sign over here.”
Celine immediately received the card. Yet just when she was about to sign it, she suddenly discovered a sole letter “L” was initiated under the column for the sender's name.
This caught her by surprise but she did not think twice as she remembered Lucas was her husband’s middle name.
After signing the card, she handed it back to the staff with a polite smile and thank you.
