Chapter 474

Penulis: Flower Sock
Louie's brows furrowed when he met Giselle's teasing gaze. "Don't flatter yourself. We doctors will ask anyone we meet on the street about their health out of professional habit."

"Goodness, you must be an angel then, Dr. Anderson." Giselle scoffed, her pretty face a mask of indifference. "I appreciate your concern, but my personal life is none of your business."

As she spoke, she closed the distance between them and held out her cigarette between slender fingers. She tapped it against the rim of Louie's paper cup, letting the ashes fall into his drink.

"Giselle!" Louie scowled.

"You said I couldn't smoke in public. It's not like I can toss a cigarette butt anywhere I like, and there's no trash can around here." Giselle's red lips curled. "I have no choice but to throw it into your cup."

To make her point, she dropped the remainder of her cigarette into Louie's paper cup. "Thanks a bunch, Dr. Anderson."

She strolled away after that, her gait graceful and unhurried. The sharp ends

    Love was the most twisted form of torture in this world after all. It could topple kings and gods and humble the arrogant. But when Gregory heard Louie's admonishment, he locked his phone and said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about.""Give me a break." Louie clicked his tongue. "You don't have to put up a strong front when you're with friends."Gregory took the glass of water and sipped it, glaring at Louie. "If you're so tough, why did you get all flustered and hide in the washroom when you saw that lawyer?"Louie froze."Oh, and when you left the washroom, your eyes were red and—" Gregory continued the jibe."Bullshit! Sand got into my eyes, that's all! I had to wash it out, didn't I? Who said I was crying?" Louie snapped defensively, bristling."Nobody said you were crying. I certainly didn't." Gregory eyed Louie with faint amusement. "Why are you so quick to explain yourself?"Louie's face darkened. He snatched the glass from Gregory and gulped the rest of the

    At that moment, Gregory fully understood how Anathea felt when she saw him and Natalie together. It was like a spear through his chest. He said dispassionately to Louie, "Have the front desk give us a room on a different floor."Louie was a little surprised. "The fact that you ended up on the same floor as Anathea is practically fate. Shouldn't you make the most out of this instead of letting your big chance slip away?"It certainly didn't sound like something the usually confident and aggressive Gregory would do."She probably doesn't want to see me right now." Gregory withdrew his gaze. "Haven't you realized how different she is now than before?""True." Louie nodded. They'd actually swung by the Floristry World Cup and watched Anathea emerge as the champion from the second-floor VIP lounge.The Anathea they'd seen at the Floristry World Cup was different from the one Louie remembered.She had been swift and decisive when choosing flowers that fit the given theme, almost as i

    Anathea nodded at this. "Fair point."She meant it, too, but she believed in perfecting one's skill in a particular area. However, she'd given Thomas a chance and hired him as an assistant intern after recalling the help he'd previously offered her.Having finished the hangover soup, Anathea handed the mug back to Thomas. "Let's go.""As you wish." Only then did Thomas retract his gaze and start the car, steering it toward the hotel.He occasionally glanced in the rearview mirror, noting Anathea's delicate profile as she leaned into the backseat with her eyes closed. A faint blush crept over the alabaster skin of her face, like someone had brushed cherries over it."My philosophy doesn't just apply to careers and hobbies, but people as well." Thomas smiled.Anathea was fast asleep when they pulled up outside the hotel. Thomas stared at her for a long moment before rounding the car to the backseat. He reached for her, but just as his fingers were about to graze her face, her eyes

    Olivia's eyes lit up at the sight of the handsome man standing behind Anathea. "My, my, Ms. Jacobson. Care to explain yourself?""This is the new assistant intern in my office, Thomas Morgenstein," Anathea introduced briefly.Thomas flashed a courteous and respectful smile at Olivia, extending a hand toward her. "It's a pleasure to meet you."Olivia shook his hand and raised a brow playfully at Anathea. "Talk about excellent taste! Even your assistant's hot!"Anathea shrugged. "I can't help that hot men are drawn to me.""That's the Anathea charm for you." Olivia chuckled, then asked a rather loaded question, "But is he really… just your assistant?"Olivia's meaningful, prying gaze betrayed her wild assumptions as it darted between Anathea and Thomas, so intense that it could undoubtedly spin an entire cinematic saga at this point. Thomas froze upon hearing Olivia's question and blushed as he glanced at Anathea, awaiting her answer."Of course." Anathea stood up. "It's getting

    Anathea gave an exasperated shake of her head. She knew Evangeline, who loved to drink despite being a lightweight, was incorrigible. She had no choice but to have Lena escort Evangeline back."I'll come back to pick you up after she's settled in," Lena said to Anathea before leading an inebriated Evangeline out of the lounge.Anathea and Olivia were the only ones left in the lounge. The latter mused in surprise, "You sure know how to hold your drink. You're not even tipsy!"When Olivia first met Anathea, the latter had been a slip of a submissive woman who stood behind her husband and let him drink on her behalf. But now, Anathea had become more outgoing and dazzling. It was as if she was glowing from within, and it was hard not to find her dependable.It was proven, then, that one only had to practice one's expertise to shine like a diamond, and Anathea was exceptional in her art. It was why Olivia trusted her so much to begin with."You've changed a lot," Olivia remarked seri
