Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 753

Cedric watched as Remington's gaze grew colder by the second, but he stood his ground for the sake of the penthouse apartment. No backing down now.

Besides, ma'am has a soft spot for gestures like this. Seeing you go out of your way to make her happy will surely win her over. Once she keeps the flowers, she'll be reminded of you every day..." Cedric went on and on, but Remington remained unmoved.

Cedric's voice trailed off, realizing perhaps the boss did have his principles and limits after all.
