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.

"Sir, sending flowers is nice and all, but ma'am isn't refusing them without reason. You really should try making these handmade roses. They obviously take a lot of effort, and that effort is a clear sign of your affection.

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.

He gave up, "Sorry, sir, I just thought you practicing some crafts now would come in handy later, you know, when you and the lady have little princes or princesses running around. Guess I wasn't thinking straight. I'll just head out."

After saying that, Cedric turned and quickly walked away.
