Gilda calmed down and took out her mobile phone to call Patrick, who had just returned to Geleston.

It was really strange. Dillan was the CEO of Miller Corporation in Geleston, but he came to work as a clerk in Gilda’s company. Thinking about it, Gilda felt that there was something fishy, so she had better ask Patrick about Miller Corporation’s situation.

Patrick quickly answered Gilda’s call.

“Gilly, what can I do for you?” On the other end of the phone, Patrick’s tone was firm but gentle and doting.

Gilda looked at David who was standing beside her awkwardly. Then she covered her mouth and whispered, “Patrick, Dillan came to Allath and even submitted his resume to the Investment Project Department of Glory Corporation. Did Miller Corporation go bankrupt?”

Patrick laughed. He knew that Gilda hated Dillan and she became sharp–tongued when talking about Dillan.

“No. Dillan was sent back to Allath by Mr. Carl Miller this time, but I didn’t know that he came to your company for a job,” said Patrick.

“Okay, I’ll kick him out,” Gilda said.

“Gilly, calm down.” Patrick persuaded, “You and I both know Dillan’s strength. With him in the Investment Project Department, your income statement this year will definitely satisfy the

shareholders.”

Hearing this, Gilda was moved. Her tone softened as she asked, “What if he mentions the engagement to

me?”

“Your identity has never been made public. He doesn’t know that you are Ms. Lynch who is engaged to him. If you don’t tell him, how can he know?” Patrick said.

Hearing that Gilda’s attitude was not so decisive, Patrick continued to persuade her, “What Glory Corporation needs most now is a talent like Dillan. Are you willing to shut out such an excellent person on impulse?”

Patrick’s words persuaded Gilda. She realized that her primary objective was to enhance the company. If she wanted to succeed, she needed to effectively utilize the talent available.

Reluctantly, Gilda hung up the phone. She cleared her throat and said to David, who was still waiting for her order, “Well… The one named Dillan should stay.”

Hearing this, David smiled and flattered Gilda like Cheney did before leaving the office.

The next morning, as soon as Gilda got downstairs, she heard the staff whispering, “That man is so handsome!”

“So he is the one who has been sending flowers over these days!”

Following the sound, Gilda saw Dillan dressed in a well–tailored suit, holding an oversized bouquet of roses and greeting her with a smile.

Gilda sneered. It turned out that the fool who had been sending flowers these days was Dillan, and she had thought it was Braydon.

Gilda calmly passed Dillan with a cold face, completely ignoring him.

However, Dillan quickly took a few steps to stop Gilda and said sincerely with a bright smile, “Hello. It has been a long time. Do you still remember me?”

“No,” Gilda responded.

“I made you laugh on the rooftop in Geleston. You wiped your tears with my handkerchief, remember?” Dillan didn’t give up and continued to ask Gilda.

Gilda brushed her curly bangs and began to get impatient. “Get out of the way, please,” she said.

“I haven’t thanked you for the pearl bracelet.” Dillan handed the roses to Gilda again, looking shy.

Gilda’s expression grew more and more impatient. She had thought she could pretend not to know Dillan in the company, but it was unexpected that Dillan kept pestering her, which made her annoyed.

So Gilda simply posed as a boss and looked Dillan up and down with hostile eyes. “Are you an employee of the company?” she asked.

“Yeah, I just joined the Investment Project Department today. Hello, Boss.” Little aware of Gilda’s impending fury, Dillan remained polite and optimistic.

Then Gilda pointed at her watch and said loudly, “Do you know what time is it now? Why don’t you go to work? How dare you block my way here? Do you still want to work here?”

Dillan had never been scolded by a beautiful lady so loudly. He swallowed hard and froze in place.

It seemed that Gilda was bad–tempered.

David, who was waiting for the elevator, saw that it was the newcomer whom he was trying to keep. In order to avoid being fired by the boss for no reason, David quickly threw Dillan’s flowers into the trash can and pulled him to run to the emergency corridor to avoid Gilda.

Gilda, seeing Dillan being dragged away, took a deep breath and walked towards the elevator.

Other people around the elevator were also running to the emergency corridor, which made Gilda a little confused. What happened to these people?

Everyone was still in shock, fearing that they would annoy Gilda who always wore a bright smile. The staff had never seen her scolding anyone so severely as today. ‘Someone sent her flowers early in the morning, but why is she so angry?‘ they wondered. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
