A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 302 Blue Roses

It was obvious that Peggy deliberately kept Maria in suspense. "You'll know as long as you come to the company. Everyone in the company saw it just now."

"What did you see? Just tell me!" Maria's curiosity was aroused by her.

"How can I tell you in this way? Come to the company as soon as possible! You will know when you come." After saying this, Peggy hung up the phone.

Maria looked at the phone speechlessly.

It was a lie if she said she was not curious. She finished her breakfast quickly and drove directly to the company.

The moment she entered the company, Maria saw the envy in her female colleagues' eyes, which made her get more and more confused.

She didn't know why until Peggy ran to open the door of the office for her and gestured her to come in with a mysterious smile. "Ms. Song, come in, please!"

The moment Maria stepped into the office, a large bouquet of flowers came into her view. At the same time, she smelt the fragrance of the flowers.

It was blue roses.

It was really a big bunch of them. There were so many of them that Maria definitely could not hold all of them in her arms. She guessed that there were at least hundreds of blue roses in the bouquet.

Maria looked back at Peggy and asked, "Who sent it here?"

Of course, she had received flowers before. She had been given red roses and white roses before, but at most 99 of them once a time at the most.

Previously, she had also received flowers of the same color as blue roses, but they were obviously all artificially dyed flowers.

However, the large bunch of flowers in front of her eyes now was definitely not artificially dyed. It should be a rare kind of naturally growing blue rose.

As long as something was rare, it must be expensive too. There were not many people in H City who could afford to spend money like water in this way, and James was one of them.

Peggy lowered her head and coughed slightly to clear her throat. "The two people who sent the flowers here are the special assistants of HL Group's CEO!"

She could recognize the two special assistants because she had once been to HL Group with Maria, where she happened to meet the two of them there.

'It was him!' Maria thought, without saying anything.

Peggy looked at the blue roses in front of her eyes and exclaimed, "Wow, it's so different to be in love with a rich man. They are blue roses! I thought they were artificially dyed roses, but the special assistants said they were not. Blue roses cost a lot more!"

With a faint smile on her face, Maria lowered her head and smelled the flowers, on which there was still dew. It was not until then that she found a card among the flowers. "Ms. Song, don't be angry."

There was no signature on the card, but she already knew who it was.

It was a lie to say that she was not pleased. After all, such a large bunch of blue roses was really adorable. Nobody would dislike them.

Maria took out her phone and sent a message to James. "Mr. Xi, you didn't call me Ms. Song last night when we were in bed. Why did you turn your back on me as soon as you got out of bed?"

When he received the message, James was on his way to meet a client. While he read the message with a faint smile on his face, he replied, "I can call your name every night as long as you want."

Maria was speechless. She replied to him with the eyerolling emoji and added, "You sent me so many flowers that I don't know how to deal with them."

She had thrown all the flowers that other men had given her into trash cans, and she had even refused to accept some of them.

Now that the blue roses were a gift from James, of course she wouldn't throw them into the trash can, let alone they were so expensive.

"Deal with them?”

James replied. Maria had to admit that her wording did seem inappropriate.

But she could not help but silently criticize him for being so finicky. "No, no, no. I mean, I don't know where to put them."

"Just put them in your office. If others ask who gave them to you, just tell them that it was your husband."

'Husband? Does he want to marry me?' Maria thought to herself. She would not let him get what he wanted so easily. "You want to be my husband? But don't you think the cost is too low?"

"Then you can tell them it was your man or your boyfriend." Maria decided to satisfy him now that he wanted to play with her.

She looked at the phone and raised her eyebrows. "So, Mr. Xi, are you courting me?"

Peggy, who was by her side, patted her arm and said, "I have roughly counted the flowers. There should be 999 or 1001 of them. So it means that he will love you forever or you're the one in a thousand. I didn't know that Mr. Xi can also be so romantic!"

It turned out that there were about a thousand blue roses. Did James buy all the blue roses in a rose garden?

"He is an old-fashioned man who isn't romantic at all. In my opinion, he must have learnt this from someone else. Otherwise, how could he know about buying flowers and giving them to women?" Maria didn't think that James was so romantic.

In fact, however, she had wronged him. Last time when he went on a business trip abroad, he saw a large scale blue rose garden. He thought of her immediately, but she was not in H City at that time, so he had no chance to give them to her.

When the blue roses were finally transported to H City by air, he happened to make her angry last night. So he gave them to her as an apology.

James didn't reply to her message anymore. The longer Maria waited, the more embarrassed she felt.

While reading the documents, Maria snorted in her heart, 'It doesn't matter that you don't want to court me. But why don't you even dare to say it to me?"

When she went to the design department for a meeting, she finally received a reply from James, which contained only one word. "Yeah."

Maria was confused for a moment. When she read the message he sent again, she concluded that he wanted to court her.

If he wanted to court her, he could do it. It was her business whether she would accept him or not.

Maria acted quickly. In only a few days, with the evidence given by James, she took Judy and her partners back then to court. She didn't let go of anyone who had played a part in the case.

Joshua served as her lawyer. The lawsuit caused a sensation in the whole H City.

The lawsuit lasted for a long time. When Judy thought she was still free, she was taken away and imprisoned by the police with the excuse that she was a criminal suspect.

Knowing that she had been imprisoned, Maria was not anxious any longer. As long as she couldn't be released from prison, Maria didn't care when the proceedings came to an end. Moreover, with the help of Joshua, it would not be too long a time before Judy was sentenced.

One day, in order to thank James, Maria decided to invite him to dinner tonight.

Knowing that she was going to have a date with James, Peggy said, "Dress yourself up. And why is your hair always black?"

Maria smoothed her long hair and said, "Is there anything wrong with black?"

"There isn't anything wrong with it. Your black hair is beautiful. But Maria, you have to change your style. If you always look the same, men are prone to grow tired of you. In particular, Mr. Xi is a man who could see all kinds of beauties every day. You have to change your style from time to time in order to seduce... oh, no, to draw his attention!"

Maria was speechless It was that James wanted to court her. Why did she have to take the initiative to cater to his taste?

Peggy encouraged her, "I just applied for a membership card in an international brand hair salon. Although I don't have hair yet, I can lend it to you first. Let's go. Once you change the color of your

hair, your mood will

change too!"

"What color do you think suits me?" Maria was successfully tempted. She didn't think dying hair was a big deal. Maybe she could have a try.

However, after she did that, Peggy kept a distance from her, carefully looked at her face, and finally uttered a few words.

It was getting dark. Maria walked out of her office. James's Harkim was right in front of her company.

It was James himself who drove the car today. He was sitting in the car and talking on the phone. When he saw the woman walking towards him, his expression changed obviously. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

And he suddenly stopped talking on the phone.
