Drowning In His Deep Love (Re-edited) novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Florence's Child

As soon as it was time to get off work, the colleagues left one after another.

Florence was about to leave when Evelyn came over, “Florence, let's go eat hot pot together tonight.”

“Sure.” Florence is also a foodie, and Evelyn has spoken for her several times, so it's time to show her thanks, "My treat.”

Evelyn also didn’t pretend to be courtesy, "Okay!”

The two of them took the elevator downstairs together.

Evelyn has a car so she said, "Florence, wait a minute, I'll take my car in the parking lot.”

“Okay.”

Florence just waited for a while, a familiar car suddenly stopped at the roadside.

And Lincoln was sitting in the car.

Florence had a bad feeling.

Lincoln smilingly got out of the car, "Florrie, you just got off work, right? Come on, get in the car, dad will take you to dinner.”

Florence said sarcastically in a cool tone, “I think important people like you really have a short memory. Mr. Scott, you must forget that we have broken off the father-daughter relationship.”

Before Lincoln come to Florence, he had mentally prepared to be spited.

“Florrie.” Lincoln still smiled, "Father and daughter don’t have a night feud. No matter what, you sill have my blood in your body, and you are my daughter. Let’s go, dad will take you to dinner, and then buy a few clothes for the family feast. My daughter can not wear shabby clothes at all.”

Did he want to make her moved by giving some small favors?

Florence sneered, "Mr. Scott, you don't have to spend money, the Cooper family has made everything ready.”

Seeing that that Florence remained unshaken, he sighed and started to play the affection card, "Florrie, please don't blame me. The company is the fruit of your mother's painstaking work. When you mother died, I promised her that I would guard the company. I can't let anything bad happen to the company, so I hope you can make allowances for my difficulties.”

“Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that the company belongs to my mother. A posthumous paper was left in my mother's legacy, designating me as the successor of the company. It's thankful for you to manage the company. Since you said so, I'll take over the company. You don’t need to worry about the company any more.”

The matter of the posthumous paper was purely nonsense. Florence just wanted Lincoln to know the difficulties and retreat.

She knew Lincoln very well.

Sure enough, hearing that he needed to hand over the company, Lincoln's face turned gloomy, "There is no need to do that, Florrie. You don’t have the experience of managing a company. It's okay for dad to work harder for the company.”

“Heh!” Florence sneered, seeing Evelyn's car came, she left a sentence, "I am a person who holds grudges. Mr. Scott, you’d better not appear in front of me, otherwise it will arouse my grievances over the years and I’ll do something extreme, which will embarrass each other.”

After saying that, Florence pulled open Evelyn's car door and sat in.

Evelyn asked, “Who is that?”

“Someone who ask for directions.” Florence said, “Let's go.”

Lincoln didn't dare to annoy Florence too much. He could only watch Florence leave.

The car drove out some distance, Florence sent a message to Alexander: I’ll have dinner with a colleague and come back late, you don’t have to pick me up.

Evelyn caught a glimpse at it and snickered, “You, you are reporting your schedule.”

“Let him not worry.” Florence smiled, she put away the phone and casually asked, "Evelyn, I want to ask you a question. Ah, I have a friend, she had a child before, and now she has a boyfriend, but her boyfriend does not know that she had a child. She is now struggling whether to confess and let me come up with ideas, but I have no idea, what’s your opinion?”

“She certainly can not say.” Evelyn said, "What men care most is that their women had a abortion or had children. Even if they say they don't mind, they also leave something in their hearts. Men are smart. They only play with such women and won't marry them.”

Florence's whole heart sank, the palms of her hands seeped with cold sweat.

Evelyn also did not think much about it, and asked, "Florence? Who is your friend? I suggest she shouldn’t tell her boyfriend her real situation. If their feelings are not deep, it is better to break up early, so they won’t be wounded by each other in the future.”

“Just an ordinary friend.” Florence remained calm and collected , she smiled, "I'll talk to her later.”

...

In the South Mountain Community...

Alexander was exercising in the fitness room. Hearing the information, he promptly picked up his mobile phone and took a look.

William on the side saw Alexander unconsciously smiled after seeing the message. His tone was jealous as he said, "It's a message from Ms. Scott, right? Hey, boss, can you stop pricking your brother's heart and consider the feelings of our single men.”
