Chapter 21 "Two Lions"
“Why is she here?” Eric asked himself while looking at Jane from afar. It took his seconds before he remembered what his secretary told him a few days ago. Secretary Byron told him that Jane is working in the flower shop in front of her apartment building. Eric told Byron not to give him the full details, as it felt so difficult for him to hear this.

That went the same with Jane, but at least, she can work as a florist.

Chapter 23 "Something Dangerous"
Lance stood in front of the mirror and looked at his reflection. Tonight, he’s wearing the clothes which were sent from the CEO of Geelq car brand company. White tuxedo with black rose at the top’s pocket, these suit him so much. He’s also wearing expensive shoes and a watch sent by Eric. Lance is a fan of branded products.

Chapter 24 "The Whole World Stopped"
Jane’s POV Years ago… Eric and I were lying down on the bed while watching a movie together. When we watched the scene where the female lead entered the elegant party and everyone, including the handsome male lead, stared at her with awe, I felt so giddy that I paused the video and squealed like an idiot. “Omg!” I said while stomping my feet and punching the pillow beside me. Even though I did not have interest in dating when I was in college, I still had romantic emotions within me. “Why did you pause it?” Eric asked me in a bored tone. They said dreams start when you become a college student. And so, I used the movie as my excuse for having another dream. “I wanted to attend a party like that,” I said while pointing at the laptop screen. Lance, who heard my new wish, answered me in an apathetic tone. “You wanted to attend a boring party?” “What do you mean it’s boring? Attending an extravagant party while wearing a beautiful dress is one of every woman’s dreams.” “
