Mia's face instantly turned beet red, and she stammered out, "Guys, don't look it up now; if you must, please do it after we're gone. I'd be really embarrassed!"
Everyone around respectfully put their work on hold and watched as they left.
Andre looked at the lively Mia with a heart filled with joy.
When the elevator arrived, they both stepped in.
As soon as they were gone, the people in the boss's office immediately opened the web page. The office was once again filled with gasps of surprise.
Inside the elevator.
Mia blushed because of their comments, but Andre asked her, "What does a bouquet of 12 roses mean?"
"You have a phone; can't you just look it up yourself?" She said shyly.
"I want to hear it from you."
The mere thought of saying it made Mia blush.
Andre was still waiting for her answer. Mia's expression became more and more conflicted as she twirled her fingers, "Honey, you know what it means."
"If you don’t say it, I won’t know."
Andre just wanted her to say the words he wanted to hear. He always teased Mia, "Mia, say it; we're husband and wife there's no need to be shy."
He emphasized again. "We are husband and wife."
Mia thought, if she could give him flowers, why should she feel shy now?
She hesitated for a moment before saying, "The flowers mean that my love for you deepens."
Mr. Cedillo laughed when he heard this.
If the circumstances were right, he'd want to embrace Mia and love her in his own way.
Andre suppressed his excitement. His face was calm as he said, "Remember what you said; your love for me should deepen."
"No, that's just what the flowers mean." Mia whined.
"You gave me the flowers, meaning you want to express this, right?"
The elevator door opened.
In the hall of Cedillo Inc. was a sight that only came once in a blue moon.
Mr. Cedillo, whom the employees admired, was seen holding roses and leading a girl out of the elevator.
Did the girl look a bit unhappy?
But Mr. Cedillo was smiling like a blooming flower in spring.
Suddenly, people remembered the girl who was running around the building with roses.
Turned out that the one who received the roses was Mr. Cedillo. Did this mean the lovely girl was the rumored Mrs. Cedillo?!
Whispers of congratulations swirled around.
The news of Andre receiving roses somehow reached his friends.
Their chat group instantly became lively.
Mars Arrowood sent a message. “Big news in Havenbrook, all related to our well-known Mr. Cedillo. Which one do you want to hear first?”
Conner Nettleton replied. “One at a time.”
Mars replied, “He acquired Havenbrook University and gave it to his wife.”
Conner and Asher were speechless.
Even the usually serious Teddy expressed doubt and replied, "Is this for real?"
They all thought of Andre as a sensible person; if he decided to acquire a company, he must have thought it through and decided that company would really bring profit.
However, they didn't think the proud Mr. Cedillo would do such a thing as acquire a university that had limited profits and required a lot of effort to run.
All of this needed further investigation.
When Mars posted a screenshot of the official Havenbrook University website in the group chat, Conner was so shocked that he spit out his drink, "This is?"
