It was so sudden that Alicia was shocked. She looked up to see a balding, middle-aged man. She knew him. He was also a tenant in her building whom she had met twice in the elevator. People around knew him as Lawrence Flynt. She had heard that he was a customer service manager who was doing well. While he was a good guy, he was sadly lacking in the physical appearances -wasn't very tall, had premature balding before 35, looked rather mature like someone in his forties -thus the reasons why he was still single.

They had bumped into each other twice around the area they lived. Once when her shoe was stuck in a hole, he came forward to help her. While they may have known each other a little since then, their interaction was merely greeting each other with a nod whenever they meet. So it was really a question as to why would he chase her all of a sudden.

"Miss Blanchard, are you free tonight? I'd like to take you out for dinner. Western, Chinese, Japanese, or..."

Waving her hands as a gesture to decline him, Alicia took a step back self as a reflex response.

"Mr. Flynt, I think you have misunderstood. I already have a boyfriend. This is inappropriate!" "Miss Blanchard, I really like you! I have never liked a woman this much. I don't just want a relationship, I want to marry you! I will be responsible to you and treat you well! As long as you're not married, I still have a chance to woo you. Or we could even be friends who go out occasionally for a meal or a walk?" He handed the giant bouquet of red roses to her hurriedly.

"Miss Blanchard, I know that you live alone. I also know that you are working as a translator and a white-collar just like myself. We are indeed a perfect match!"

"Please, please give me a chance. Accept my invitation!"

With a thud, Lawrence had actually fallen to his knees, shocking Alicia even more.

"Oh my, stop this! Get up first!"

"In any case, I am a married woman and not divorced yet. Um no, no, I'm not getting a divorce! Please don't do this. Get up quickly!"

Lawrence was already attracting much attention with the big rose bouquet. On top of that, he was kneeling at the entrance and during evening time when people were returning home. For a moment, Alicia did not dare to reach out to him. She didn't know many people here. And for a flash second, she was in cold sweat. There were also passersby who stopped by to film and photograph this scene. "Hey, what's going on? Is it a marriage proposal?"

"No way! Look at how incompatible they are. That man is old and ugly!"

"Some rich men don't look great either, but don't they too get the girls they want? The girl is beautiful, but it won't do anything. Is she the new tenant? I heard there is a new beauty here in Robson Garden!" "Isn't that Lawrence Flynt? Didn't his family introduce someone to him not long ago?"

"Did he dump her?"
