After breakfast, Eva began tidying up the stock she bought that morning.First, she categorized the flowers. Next, she began trimming the stems and freshening them up.The morning passed quickly.A high-end Maybach suddenly stopped in front of her flower shop that afternoon.The door of the passenger’s side opened, and a young man appeared.He ran toward the door of the backseat and opened it respectfully.From there, a long leg stretched out…The man was wearing a black, fitted suit. His shirt was buttoned up to the collar. He had broad shoulders and a slim waist, his body perfectly proportioned. He was someone with a strong presence, yet he looked extremely elegant.His expression was cold and distant. His thin lips were slightly pursed as he glanced nonchalantly at the little flower shop. He asked, “Is this the place?”“Yes, Mr. Langley. This is the place," Finn replied courteously.Nathan nodded and strode into the shop.Eva was bustling about inside. When she heard the
It was at that moment when Eva appeared with the remaining peonies.These peonies were still in the flower pots. They were all personally nurtured by Eva and were of excellent quality.After moving every pot out, she said to Nathan, “These are the best peonies left in my shop. Considering the fact that you require them for medicinal purposes, I didn’t bring you the less aesthetic ones.”“Thank you.”Nathan stood up. His tone was impassive as usual as he instructed Finn, “Pay the bill.”“Yes, Mr. Langley.”Finn inquired about the price and made payment.Coincidentally, Mia and Max came running down the stairs.They were playing with each other when Mia spotted Nathan. She called out in great delight, “Hey, it’s that handsome mister.”Nathan stopped in his footsteps and looked over when he heard the voice.Next, Mia shot out like a rocket toward him and hugged his long leg.Nathan immediately held her stead, then said softly, “Be careful.”Lifting her little head, Mia asked i
Nathan jumped at the mention of ‘Nicole Pileggi’. Frowning, he gave Finn a questioning look about this.Finn was surprised too. He shook his head, indicating that he had no idea what was going on.Nathan went over and asked Mr. Landers, “What’s going on? What has this got to do with Nicole?”Mr. Landers was taken aback to see Nathan there. He immediately recognized him.He was Nicole Pileggi’s fiancé!Mr. Landers did not dare offend him and quickly replied, “Miss Pileggi was supposed to have a bathtub scene last night, and she requested rose petals. I came here to order a bunch of flowers because of that. "Who knew that she would flare up into a temper and insist on not going through with the shoot? All the flowers were wasted, and I was told by the production team this morning that they weren’t willing to pay so much. My hands are tied…”The look in Nathan’s eyes darkened. He was not happy about this.Nicole Pileggi looked like a good woman on the surface, but she was capable
As they were conversing, Mr. Landers had returned from making the call.His attitude was quite respectful when he spoke to Mason. “Please wait for a bit, Mr. Young. Mr. Goldman says he'll be here soon.”Mason nodded coldly.Even though Eva was furious, she did not unleash her temper on Mr. Landers but waited patiently.She turned around, only to see Nathan and Finn still here.Eva was taken aback but realized she was the one who had forgotten about them. She felt embarrassed as she said, “Is there… anything else I can help you two with?”Finn was caught by surprise. He was about to say there was nothing else when Nathan spoke up. “I’d like to see if there are any other flowers I can use for medicinal purposes. If you have time, please recommend some flowers to me.”Eva agreed readily, “Of course, I have time. Follow me.”Nodding slightly, Nathan followed behind Eva.They walked around the shop, and Eva would stop at every flower that had beneficial medicinal purposes.Nathan
Mason’s eyes narrowed, and there was a dangerous look on his face. “Are you sure this is your final decision? If it is, I don’t mind settling this with the law.”“Oh, trying to intimidate by using the law, aren’t you? Do you think I scare easily? You should really do some homework on me. Do you really think your scare tactics would work on me? This is my final decision. As for you, go ahead if you want to take me to court. I’m not paying.”Stanley was extremely arrogant with his reply. The smile on his face was asking for a punch.Mr. Landers was silently anxious when he saw this.Did Stanley Goldman know who Mason Young was?!How could Stanley be so arrogant in front of him?Mason could bury him deep into the ground!Mr. Landers felt responsible for dropping Stanley a hint. “Mr. Goldman, it’s just a matter of a few thousand dollars, right? Why not pay them and we can leave?”He was trying to help Stanley out of goodwill.However, Stanley was not buying it. He immediately shou
Mason was yanked back violently by Eva, which surprised him slightly.However, his rage vanished completely after a while. He was filled with delight instead.She… She was worried for him!Eva did not notice the change in Mason’s expression. She was busy looking at Stanley with disgust.Stanley was used to being heaped with praises. He had never been scolded by anyone, much less be called disgusting.His face fell, and there was a violent look in his eye. He shouted, “How dare you say my production team is disgusting, you bitch?! Very well, then! Looks like your flower shop is asking for it! Four of you, thrash this place!”“Yes, Mr. Goldman!”The four bodyguards immediately began thrashing the place.However, right before they were about to take action, a commanding yet casual tone spoke up in the shop. “Who here is brave enough to thrash this place?”A man slowly emerged from the flowers surrounding them. He had a handsome face that was more attractive than any flower.His
Mason was a little unhappy when he saw this. He said coldly, “You don’t need to be too grateful to him, Eva. I could've settled this. That was an unnecessary move.”Eva looked at Mason in surprise, finding it a little strange.Why did Mason sound a little angry?Nathan could sense the animosity coming from Mason. He raised an eyebrow slightly and sniggered before looking away. He said to Eva, “I need to trouble you to deliver these flowers to the hotel later, Miss Lane.”“Sure. No problem,” Eva agreed readily.After that, she saw Nathan and Finn out.The shop was now left with Eva, Mason, Stanley, and Mr. Landers.Mason looked upset as he said sternly, “Aren’t you supposed to get out?”Stanley was slightly shocked to see the man in front of him suddenly acting so differently. Mason had the same commanding presence as Nathan did.It was then that Mr. Landers handed a name card to him and whispered, “Mr. Goldman, this gentleman is… Mason Young.”Stanley was genuinely shocked to
That very night, Stay with Me was officially shut down.The crew prepared to leave.Mr. Landers was also busy cleaning up.When Nicole arrived to see the chaotic scene in front of her, she asked sharply, “What’s going on?”Everyone ignored her.Many of the crew members had suffered her wrath during the shoot. Now that production was shut down, no one wanted to bother themselves with her.Nicole’s expression contorted with anger when she found herself being ignored.Mr. Landers happened to pass by, and she immediately grabbed his arm to ask, “What are all of you doing? Do you want to get fired?”He looked at her with contempt. “There's no work for us here even if we want to continue working. That includes you, my dear Miss Pileggi.”With that, he flung Nicole’s hand off him and went toward the front to queue. He would be taking his last pay.Nicole stood where she was, dumbfounded. She could not understand what was going on.Amy managed to obtain some news and came reporting
