Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 270 Are You Swindling Me?

Cedric sneered and asked, “What’s the matter? Are you trying to get paid from both sides?”

“I knew you doted on Maia, but she insisted on paying me. So, I immediately tailored another dress and gave it to her as a gift.

“What made you think I’d dare to play tricks on you? I might be a hothead but I know better than to get on the bad side of the both of you!”

“It’s a given. It’s your honor that Maia wears your gown.

Victoria was speechless. She cleared her throat several times, “You’re right, Cedric. You saved my life and you’re my boss. Whatever you say goes!”

“From here on out, you’ll be in charge of her gowns.”

“Gotcha, Cedric.”

“Put it on my tab.”

“Alright! Loud and clear! Consider it done!” Victoria said.

Then, Cedric hung up the phone. She looked at the phone and said, “I envy you, Maia. Cedric is so cold to everyone. You’re the only person in his heart. He cares about you in ways that astonish people around him.” She put her phone back into her pocket.

Larkins.

What mattered most to her was that he saved her life in the past and sponsored her studio! If it had not been for Cedric, people in her family would have sent someone to snatch her back home. She owed her freedom to him!
