Chapter 101
Getting two bouquets of flowers in a row this morning made Meredith capture a lot of attention in the
company.
The first bouquet of 99 red roses was normal, but the second one consisting of 999 fragrant lilies was
not what ordinary people could afford.
Many people were gossiping she was probably being pursued by some rich young man and that she
would perhaps become a rich wife from a poor clerk soon.
Nova was looking at herself in the mirror in the bathroom when she caught a glimpse of a rose on the
sink. She exclaimed at first that Xavier Group was so elegantly decorated that even the bathroom was
so poetically arranged.
But when she came closer, her expression immediately changed. She recognized this was the flower
that she had just helped Seth select for Meredith because the label was identical. Thinking about the
rumors in the company, she immediately understood something.
Meredith was just a bitch. She threw flowers others sent her into the toilet, and carefully kept the lilies
Derek gave her and still insisted that she was not interested in him.
What a hypocrite!
But since Derek offered to send her flowers, did that mean he really cared for her?
At this moment, Seth called Nova. "How is it? Is she touched by the flowers?"
How could she be touched by his flowers? How could the roses he sent compare to the lilies Derek
gave?
"She said she liked it very much, and she wanted to thank you personally after work. Come and find
her then. She's shy, and you have to take the initiative bravely. Girls are always reserved."
Nova thought about it and came up with an idea.
Looking at the huge bouquet of fragrant lilies in front, Meredith was more troubled than happy. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Derek was so generous to send her the huge bouquet of fragrant lilies happily. But she did not know
how to handle them at all. They took up too much room and were too eye-catching.
They were so conspicuous that she was showing off in others' eyes.
Meredith didn't want to be famous in the company for this kind of thing at all.
Derek came out of the office and saw her looking at the flowers with a vacant expression. There was
not much joy on her face. "What? Unhappy?"
This woman only allowed someone to send her flowers?
Derek had never given such a gift to anyone. He always felt that this was boring and it was his first
time.
He didn't expect Meredith to react in this way.
"No... I just feel they are taking up some space."
"The top floor covers a large area. There is definitely room for you to put a bunch of flowers in it." Derek
frowned. "Anyway, you have to take good care of them. Don't let me find out that you throw away these
flowers in a few days."
"So are you sending me this bouquet of flowers as a gift, or you just want me to take care of them?"
Meredith was speechless. How could he treat her like this? After sending her flowers, he had to require
her to take good care of them and forbid her from throwing them away.
"They symbolize my love and kindness for you. I suppose you're not going to trample on others'
kindness to you."
Derek said faintly, then went back to his office.
Meredith looked at him walking back to his office jauntily. It was easy for him to say so, but she had to
take care of so many flowers. To keep them from withering, she would have to take care of them with
the nutrient solution every day, which would cause her a lot of trouble. He spent money happily but
invited trouble for her at last.
Anyway, a day that was not peaceful had passed.
Meredith packed up her things and left off work. As soon as she walked out of the company building,
Seth followed her. "Meredith, let me take you home."
Meredith shook her head without thinking. "No, thanks. I can go back by myself. I don't want to cause
you trouble."
Meeting her refusal, Seth despised her inside. After receiving his flowers. she still pretended to be
reserved. Women were always double-faced and fastidious and good at playing hard to get.
"Actually, I have something to tell you. It's quite important. I'll take you home and say it on the way."
Since he insisted and she wanted to know what he was going to say, Meredith agreed.
The two of them got into the car. Seth noticed Meredith wearing a professional suit that fitted her
perfectly. She was shapely with her long, white legs crossed and a beautiful curve. She was so
tempting to him that he couldn't help swallowing.
"Meredith, I suppose you have got those flowers today? Actually, I fell in love with you the first time I
saw you. I didn't know you..."
Meredith was shocked. She never thought that this was what Seth was going to say. She wondered the
flowers were sent by him.
"I'm sorry but I haven't thought about it. I don't think I will date anyone in a near future. Well, I hope you
won't give me any gifts. It's just a waste of money."
Meredith rejected him completely. Now that she was in a special situation and had an unborn child,
how could she develop a relationship with anyone?
Getting Meredith's blank refusal, Seth was very annoyed, especially when he thought that his sister
had said Meredith had been actually very happy to receive the gift. Thinking that Meredith was
probably shy, just as his sister said, he decided to express his feelings to her more directly.
"Meredith, you don't have to pretend to be reserved. I really like you."
With that, Seth got closer and wanted to kiss her.
Looking at the face that was getting closer, Meredith was startled. Out of a self-protective instinct, she
gave him a slap. She was trying to open the door and leave but found that the car had been locked.
"What are you trying to do? Are you crazy?"
She had already rejected him so blankly. How come he still wanted to kiss her in spite of her
unwillingness?
"Stop pretending hard to get! You must earn yourself a place in such a high-class neighborhood by
sleeping with others. Since you can sleep with rich people, why can not sleep with me?"
Seth had been single for more than 20 years. Without sexual life, he could not have his strong desire
satisfied for a long time. He had been slapped and enraged. How dare this damn woman hit him?
Seeing this, he knew that Meredith was not going to give him a face. He was angry and picked up a
bottle of spray from one of his so-called friends and sprayed it at her.
He was told by his friend that it could turn a virtuous woman into a slut when getting it from his friend. It
was said that it was very useful to pick up girls. He couldn't wait to see what Meredith could do after he
slept with her.
Meredith was caught off guard and sprayed with something strange on her face. Although she
immediately held her breath, she still inhaled some.
Suddenly, she felt burning hot in a strange way and too weak to hold on to the handle of the car door
with her hands.
What exactly did he spray at her? Fears and worries swept over her. Meredith feared that he would do
something to her and that this damn spray would do harm to her unborn child.
Seeing her like this, Seth sneered. He reached out a pair of greasy and dirty hands to touch Meredith's
cheeks. "How do you feel? Do you still want to refuse me?"
Meredith glared at him and bit her lips. The pain from her lips kept her somewhat awake.
But she looked so determined that she would rather die than let him insult her, only making the beast in
front of her more excited. He was reaching out to tear open Meredith's shirt.
Meredith was trying to dodge him desperately, feeling extremely regretful.
