Cedric had always detested roses, and Sophie had also come to view them with disfavor, without a specific reason."Perhaps he wishes to begin anew with you, Ms. Luxford. After all, what's past is past," Linda commented."Is it, though?" Sophie mused, furrowing her brow as she gazed out the window. It had been three months since Vivienne’s tragic death, yet the memories lingered as if it were yesterday.'Once bitten, twice shy. Each time I gather courage, Vivienne’s dreadful end haunts me.'"Linda, do you know? I’m scared. I’m scared that there might be another Vivienne, or worse, that one day I might become someone like her."Linda's expression softened with empathy. "You’re nothing like Vivienne. You’ve navigated challenges tactfully, never resorting to harm."Sophie had employed tactics in her dealings with Vivienne or Melissa, though never to the point of endangering lives. Since the incident with Valerie, she had halted all her plans.She offered a slight smile, concealing h

Cedric was deep in thought when he decided to ask, "How fresh have the white roses from Gallia been these past few days?""Very fresh," Evander replied, recalling a female Luxford employee taking one home just yesterday—it was in pristine condition.Cedric's expression tightened. 'I've been sending white roses for over a month now, but Sophie hasn’t shown any reaction. Why?'"Evander, between white and red roses, which do you prefer?""Ah, I'm not much of a flower person. I like both." Evander chuckled, a bit perplexed by Cedric's probing, which often felt more philosophical than botanical."Forget it, go find the workers.""Right away." Evander hurried out, aware that redesigning Cedric's spacious office to include windows within a week was a formidable task.Alone, Cedric tapped his desk rhythmically. 'Maybe she doesn’t like white roses. Could she prefer those tacky, overly sentimental red roses?'This dilemma seemed more pressing than any business deal. Resolute, Cedric grab

Working at Luxford Group meant each employee was sharp and competent. Yet, when Cedric posed his question, they all hesitated like schoolchildren unsure of an exam answer.They finally managed to say, "White... roses are pretty."Cedric's demeanor softened slightly, though traces of dissatisfaction lingered. His gaze shifted toward the towering Luxford Group building before he wordlessly strode toward the entrance, leaving the nervous employees behind.-Sophie was in the midst of shutting down her computer, preparing to depart for the day when the sound of approaching footsteps caught her attention.Assuming it was Linda returning for something, she turned, ready to inquire, only to find Cedric stepping through the door.

No one h

Sophie hesitated to take the next step, wary of potential hurdles. The memory of Vivienne's betrayal lingered, haunting her like a shadow cast over her marriage. She feared history might repeat itself, inflicting yet another heartbreak.Cedric appeared visibly shaken, his eyes widening as her words sank in. Each one felt like a sharp blow, leaving him speechless. She was right—he had failed to grasp her perspective."I have to go now." Sophie collected her bag, her usual composure resurfacing as she prepared to leave.Cedric could only watch in silence as she walked away, realizing the gravity of his oversight and how terribly wrong he had been.-Back home, Mrs. Carrie had dinner ready.Cherry, observant as ever, noted Sophie's slight delay.

In the Crimson Bar's private room.Cedric's silence deepened the already tense atmosphere, much to Sean's annoyance. "Bro, you don't smoke or drink, and you've been silent for over 30 minutes now. Say something, will you?" Sean implored, unable to bear the silence any longer.Breaking his prolonged silence, Cedric unexpectedly asked, "How well do you know Jeanna?" The sudden shift in topic surprised Sean, sparking a livelier exchange."Very well, of course! What do you think I've been doing for over five years? I know everything Jeanna likes and dislikes. I even keep track of her menstrual cycle," Sean boasted."Then why haven't you managed to win her over?" Cedric asked, dousing Sean's pride with cold water and causing him to cough awkwardly."What use is understanding her if she's unwilling to understand me? What bad deeds did I commit in my past life to fall for such a woman and yet utterly fail to win her over?" The more he spoke, the more low-spirited Sean became.However,

"What exactly are you trying to do?""Understand you," Cedric replied, his imposing aura tempered by a note of gentleness and indulgence. His voice, richer than the coffee he had brought, hinted at a promise. "From this point forward, I'll make an effort to know you as well as you know me."He had always thought she was too proud to bend, but he had not seen just how much she had silently endured.Sophie's heart was jolted, her emotions so scrambled that no adjective seemed adequate to describe her current state. 'He said he wants to start understanding me?'Almost evasively, she avoided those gentle eyes. When she spoke again, even she found herself sounding awkward. "If you really want to... understand, you’ve come to the wrong place. This is Luxford Group, not X Corp."The absurdity of the CEO of X Corp. delivering her coffee was too much for her to process comfortably."Of course, I know this is Luxford Group. However, I might need to stay here for the next week.""Why?"Hi

Linda’s office was next to Sophie’s, separated by a transparent glass panel. While originally intended to foster a collaborative environment, the glass now afforded Cedric a view of the adjoining office. He pretended to scan the room, but his attention was drawn to the slender figure next door, a smile of satisfaction playing on his lips."Mr. Carlson, please let me know if there’s anything unsatisfactory about the office.""There’s nothing. It’s all very satisfactory." Cedric’s voice was smooth, his earlier smile fading as he maintained a professional demeanor. He appreciated the proximity to Sophie."Alright, then. I’ll let you settle in." Linda smiled politely and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, she accidentally collided with someone at the door."Sorry about that," Evander quickly apologized, managing to catch some of the falling documents in a swift motion, a testament to his agility.Linda recovered quickly from the minor mishap, recognizing Cedric's assistant. "It's actually
