Chapter 456
Seeing how Zoe instantly grimaced with disgust and tossed the flowers aside, Leanna picked up the
card to see what was written on it. Just when she did so, the former urged, "Don't look at it! It'll dirty
your hand and your eyes."
However, it proved too late for her to say this because Leanna had already opened the card. It read,
'My dear Zoe, after our last encounter, I went home and recalled many wonderful memories from when
we were together. I think I still can't forget about you. Please give me another chance. Love you
forever, Anthony.'
Leanna was rendered speechless. No wonder Zoe is so filled with disgust. She put the card back in its
place, asking, "When did you meet him?"
"Just a couple of days ago. I went out shopping, remember? Who would've thought that I'd run into him
in the mall? He came up to me and said some disgusting stuff right away, but luckily…" Zoe explained
before suddenly breaking off mid-sentence.
Leanna raised an eyebrow at the sight of this. "Luckily?"
Zoe replied, "It's nothing; it's not important. Anyway, that was how I met him, but I didn't expect him to
find out that I'm here. What a shameless swine! I wonder what's gotten into him."
Seeing how she became angrier and angrier as she spoke, Leanna soothed her, saying, "It's fine. Just
ignore him. If he sends flowers here again, just return them."
Leanna went out that afternoon. When she came back, she noticed that the music room next door had
been closed.
Surprisingly, however, the music room didn't open for several days after that, nor did Daniel ever show
up again. A young lady couldn't help but ask, "Zoe, has the music room been sold to someone else or
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomething?"
Zoe responded somewhat absentmindedly, "Huh? Why'd you ask me about that?"
The young lady replied, "Isn't Daniel your boyfriend? Didn't he tell you about it?"
Zoe gave a dry laugh. "You've got the wrong idea. We're not dating. He's just…"
As they were talking, someone from the florist came in with a bouquet of flowers in his arms.
The young lady said enviously, "Oh, stop denying it. He's been sending you flowers for a couple of
days in a row now, no? Don't be shy about it, Zoe. We understand."
However, Zoe's face darkened as she looked at the bouquet of flowers. Anthony, that jerk! He's been
sending me flowers nonstop like crazy over the last couple of days. Even after I've returned them, he
still has the cheek to send them here again.
The person from the florist asked, "Is Miss Zoe Hart here? Here's a bouquet of flowers for her to sign
for."
Zoe walked up to the person expressionlessly. "I am Zoe Hart." She looked at the latter. "Do you have
the phone number of the person who ordered the flowers from you guys?"
"Well—"
"Relax. I just want to thank him, that's all."
Upon hearing this, the person hesitantly gave her the phone number.
Zoe dialed the number and thanked the person with a smile. After that, she turned and went into the
pantry.
The person looked stupefied. "Hey! These flowers still have to be signed for."
Leanna came out of her office. "Please return them instead."
Seeing the situation, the person had no choice but to reply, "Okay." As soon as he turned around, he
heard a yelling voice coming from the pantry. Instantly, he hastened his pace and fled. How scary!
In the pantry, Zoe let fly at Anthony without giving him any chance to speak before hanging up and
blocking his phone number. After that, she felt much better. Much to her dismay, however, the man
came in person that afternoon after the phone call. Not only that, but he showed up with a bunch of red
roses in his arms.
Zoe felt her blood boil when she saw this. She yelled right away in front of everyone, "Are you nuts?"
Anthony's face was full of remorse, guilt, and fondness. "Zoe, I know I've made a lot of mistakes, and
I'm not expecting you to forgive me. I just want to prove to you with my actions that I love you."
Zoe retorted, "Stop saying f*cking things like you love me or something like that. Did it ever cross your
mind that you loved me when you slept with another chick? Now that you've been cuckolded, you
finally remember that you love me, huh? Can you quit using that word? Hearing it is so disgusting that it
makes me want to puke."
Anthony explained, "It was Jeanette who seduced me in the first place. As you know, I was alone in a
foreign country and didn't know anyone else. She took the opportunity when I was drunk—"
Zoe sneered. "You're something else, aren't you? How can you talk about it innocently as though
someone had held a knife to your throat and forced you into cheating on me? You think that you've
been wronged, don't you? Stop shifting blame between one another. Yeah, she's a b*tch, but you're an
*sshole, too. Both of you aren't decent people."
Anthony frowned. "Zoe, you can't treat me like this. In any case, you've got to give me a chance."
"How shameless of you to say that! Why should I do so?"
"If Leanna and President Pearson can get back together, why can't we?"
Zoe instantly laughed in anger at his words. "You? Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror instead?
If you're too poor to buy a mirror, I can lend you a dime for that."
Anthony seemed to disagree with her. He retorted, "How am I inferior to President Pearson? I've only
been with Jeanette, whereas he's been rumored to be in relationships with more women than our
fingers can count! Is it because I'm not as rich as him? I know Leanna is only with him for his money,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbut we're different. It's love that brought us together—"
"I'll be damned if I f*cking love you!" Zoe snatched the bouquet of flowers from his arms and threw it to
the ground outside before literally flinging him out right away. "Get out of my face—now!"
Anthony wasn't willing to give up, though. "Zoe, I—"
"Stay here any longer and I'll call the police!"
Anthony adjusted his wrinkled clothes and straightened up. "I'm not giving up."
Zoe was just about to swear at the man when she noticed that many had gathered outside to watch the
spectacle before she knew it. It's all thanks to this piece of garbage! She shut the glass door to the
studio right away, saving her breath instead of swearing.
The instant she turned around, she realized that the few young ladies in the studio were staring goggle-
eyed at her with shock written all over their faces; they seemed to have been frightened by her
demeanor just now. Feeling physically and mentally exhausted, she said with a wave of her hand, "Just
go on with what you were doing."
"Alright." The few young ladies immediately scattered in all directions.
"Wait a minute."
The few young ladies instantly came together again to await her orders.
At the sight of this, Zoe was rendered speechless. Just how scary was I just now? After letting out a
cough, she said in embarrassment, "Don't tell Leanna about what happened today and what that
sc*mbag just said. Just pretend that nothing ever happened." Leanna happened not to be here
because she was delivering design drawings to the factory today.
The ladies nodded simultaneously.
Zoe waved her hand again. "That's it. You all may leave now." With that, she walked to Leanna's office,
feeling utterly speechless once again. Lying across the desk, she stared at the baby's breath growing
outside. All of a sudden, she thought that Anthony was totally clueless about what the lives of rich
people were like. That's what love is! When will I have such f*cking pleasure?
