Chapter 50
“No… It’s impossible.” After a while, someone said in a daze.
“Definitely not. It should be someone with the same name.” said another man decisively.
“How is it possible for Mr. Landor to send flowers to Susan? As far as I know, he’s been married.”
“That’s right. This is either someone with the same name, or it’s a mistake.”
Everyone was talking about it. Only Susan knew the truth.
This bouquet was probably from Ben.
But… Why?
She was a little flustered.
Everyone said that Ben was eccentric and unpredictable.
So, what was his purpose of sending flowers?
“I guess it’s the wrong one.” Susan gave a strained smile. She got the crowd off and then arranged the flowers into the vase in public.
The roses were quite blue and mysterious.
As she looked up from her table, she could see that clearly.
All morning, Susan was feeling uneasy.
For a moment, she wanted to call Ben and ask him about it.”
But she was afraid of disturbing him.
By now, she had all kinds of speculation in her mind. They were just getting on her
nerves.
It wasn’t until the afternoon that she eventually calmed down.
No matter what Ben meant, her work came first.
She took a deep breath and focused on her work.

She believed, “Well, work will calm me down and make me forget about the
troubles.”
Early the next morning, she calmly entered the office.
Then… She saw the bouquet again.
The colleagues looked at her in unison.
Susan trembled as she took the card.
The signature was still Ben Landor.
Early on the third day.
Another bouquet.
Susan numbly took the card.
The signature—Ben Landor.
Looking at Susan’s expression, the colleagues didn’t dare to say anything.
Susan took a deep breath.
She understood what Ben tried to express.
She would give him an explanation.
At night.
Susan took a deep breath. It had been a few days before she knocked on Ben’s study again.
“Come in.” Ben’s voice was steady, and she couldn’t hear any emotions.
Susan walked in.
Ben raised his head and looked at her calmly, “What’s wrong?”
Secretly, he was smiling.
His secretary was indeed good at coaxing women.
After listening to his secretary’s suggestions and sending gifts for a few days, he saw that Susan actually took the initiative to find him.

This time, Ben decided that as long as Susan spoke, he would definitely not stand on his dignity but immediately gave her an out.
Everything looked so fine.
“Flowers… You sent those flowers, right?” asked Susan softly.
“Yes.” Ben remained calm.
“Susan, if you jump into my arms excitedly, I won’t refuse.” Ben told himself.

Sure enough, it was Ben who sent the flowers.
Then there wouldn’t be any misunderstanding.
She took a deep breath and said slowly, “I got it. I’ll hand in my resignation
tomorrow.
Ben’s expression stiffened, and he suspected that he had misheard.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Say it again. What are you going to do tomorrow?”
She pressed her lips together and said firmly, “I’ll hand in my resignation.”
Ben panicked slightly.
That was not the right step, was it?
When she knew that he was the one who sent the flowers, she was not to be moved but to resign immediately. How come?!
Why?
Ben asked calmly, “What’s wrong with your work? Why do you suddenly want to quit?”
Susan looked at Ben with a complicated feelings, “Mr. Landor, this is obviously what you mean, isn’t it?”
He frowned. “What?”
Susan lowered her head slightly. “You gave me the benefits of ordering food before, which actually implied that I should not leave the office even if it was time to have dinner. Now you send me flowers every day signed off with your name, which tells me that even if I’m in the office, you still mind about my existence. So,

I’ll leave the Storm Group and find another job. I’ll stay as far away from the Storm. Group as possible. Please don’t worry, Mr. Landor.”
Ben was confused.
So this was his meaning, huh?
“Since I’ve made it clear, I should go.” Susan turned around and wanted to leave.
“Wait!” Ben quickly stopped her.
“Any other instructions?” Susan lowered her head.
Looking at her like this, Ben was quite helpless.
After a while, he said, “I send you flowers. Why can’t it be that I just want to do so?”
“How is that possible?” said Susan softly, “Although we’re married, according to the promise made before, our marriage is confidential to the public. So, they only know that you are married, but they don’t know who your wife is. Under such circumstances, you suddenly send me flowers every day. Then what would others. think about it?”
“Think what?” Ben didn’t realize the situation.
Susan looked up at him, “They will believe that I am a mistress who destroys other people’s families.”
Now, Ben was startled.
It took him a while to realize, “But you are my wife.”
“But we’ve agreed not to disclose it.” said Susan calmly, “Well, in other people’s opinion, I’m a mistress. At present, the colleagues in the Programming Department are still friendly so that such remarks have not been’spread out yet. But if you keep sending flowers, there’s no way you can hide it. Once the public. opinion ferments, how can I survive in the Storm Group? So, Mr. Landor, you are doing this way just to force me to leave. I understand what you mean.”
Ben was speechless.
He didn’t even realize his meaning behind it.
“If there’s no more question, I should leave.” said Susan softly.
