Chapter 84 I Don't Like the Roses From You
Tobias couldn't help interrupting Christian.
"Christian, stop dreaming. It's not so simple."
Christian stood up confidently and glanced at Tobias condescendingly.
"You don't understand!"
As he spoke, he strode out.
Tobias paused and shook his head.
He didn't understand, but he knew that Beatrice, the other woman, must be dealt with!
It was a pity that Christian didn't realize this.
A few days later.
Anastasia went to Woolhope to participate in an international forum and inspected a project. Anastasia brought her people to the hotel and unexpectedly saw Christian and his people. They booked different suites on the same floor.
She pretended she didn't see Christian and went back to her room to pack her things.
Christian's eyes were deep. He hesitated to speak.
Soon, the doorbell rang.
Anastasia's assistant, Lisa Woods, went to open the door. She was surprised.
"It's a bouquet of roses, Ms. Graves."
But the person who brought the bouquet had left.
There was a card.
Lisa handed it to Anastasia. Anastasia glanced at it, saw the three words on it, and stuffed it back.
"Throw it out."
Lisa paused, nodded, and put the bouquet in the trash can at the door.
They left the room five minutes later.
Coincidentally, Christian and Steve were also waiting for the elevator.
There were two suites and two elevators on that floor.
Lisa couldn't help but look up at the elevator in their direction. Steve coughed and explained, "Well, the elevator over there doesn't work." Christian glanced at Anastasia and looked at the abandoned roses in the corner. He had a tight feeling in his chest.
"Don't you like roses?"
His voice was low.
Anastasia looked at him. After a few seconds, she said straightforwardly, "I don't like the roses from you."
Before they got divorced, he never sent her flowers.
Even the presents were chosen by Steve.
After the divorce, she received roses twice.
She thought it was ridiculous.
Christian's face darkened. He was very angry, but he had to bear it.
The elevator came.
Christian waited for Anastasia to walk in. No one else moved.
Anastasia didn't want to take the same elevator as Christian, but if she didn't, no one else could take it.
So she had to walk in.
Christian also walked in.
Just as Steve was about to go in, Christian stopped him and Lisa.
"You guys wait for the next elevator. This one is full."
Lisa's eyes widened. She was puzzled when she saw the empty elevator which could accommodate more than 20 people.
Steve was speechless.
The meeting continued until night fell.
It was pitch black.
The venue was not far from the hotel, so Anastasia planned to walk back.
Lisa and Kevin followed her. Lisa graduated not long ago. She was Kevin's younger sister. She had a cheerful personality and kept chatting.
Anastasia responded from time to time. She was not impatient but found it interesting.
Before long, Kevin heard the movement behind them. He stepped forward and said softly, "Mr. Patterson is following us behind."
Anastasia's mouth twitched.
What was wrong with Christian?
He always followed Anastasia, making her feel annoyed.
There was an open-air stall for barbecue ahead. Many people were chatting, laughing, and drinking.
Anastasia glanced at the crowd. Suddenly, she saw someone.
There was a woman with curly hair. She was flirting with many men.
Anastasia froze and felt a chill from the soles of her feet.
The mole on the woman's chin reminded her of the car accident.
Her hair stood on end.
