Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 135

Easter was approaching.

Thalia was reminded of the Italian proverb: “Natale con i tuoi, Pasqua con chi vuoi” (Christmas with your family, Easter with whomever you choose). But being single and completely focused on establishing her law firm, she had no interest in celebrating the holiday.

The office space she had leased was still under renovation when Drake Ashcroft, having somehow discovered the address of her new firm, ostentatiously sent sixty–six flower arrangements to celebrate her new venture.

When the renovation contractor called, Thalia was meeting with Rupert at a café to discuss their partnership.

“Ms. Winters, someone has sent you sixty–six flower arrangements. They won’t fit in the corridor, so we’ve had to pile them inside. Could you come and sort this out? We can’t continue with the renovations.”

“Flower arrangements? Is there a name attached?”

“Yes, Drake Ashcroft.”

Thalia felt an immediate headache at the mention of his name.

She took a deep breath, massaging her temple with a resigned expression. “I understand. I’ll come by shortly and have them removed. Please take a short break in the meantime.”

After hanging up, Thalia turned to Rupert. “There’s an issue at the office that I need to address. I’m sorry, but we’ll have to sign the contracts another time.”

“No need to apologise,” Rupert said, rising politely along with Thalia. “Since it’s concerning the firm, would it be alright if I accompanied you?”

Thalia paused briefly before responding: “Of course. You’ll be a partner at the firm, after all. It makes sense for you to see the place.”

“Thank you.”

At the office.

Thalía frowned in irritation at the room full of flower arrangements.

She randomly selected one and examined the ribbon attached to it.

Thalia’s expression was one of pure distaste.
