Chapter 19
Zelea seemed to be lost in her memories.
Those events flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern,one after another. Her fingertip trembled involuntarily and she closed her eyes in despair.
She could still see Jose crying for help and still calling out for his mother.
“It’s okay now.It’s all in the past.”
Dion gently patted her back,letting her tears fall on his suit that was worth million dollars.
He didn’t stop until she had completely calmed down.
Zelea’s cheeks flushed red and she hadn’t expected to stain his clothes.
Unlike before, after crying this time,she felt especially at ease. Her feelings toward the man i front of her also grew fonder.
Maybe she could give it a try.
After that day,Dion became even more attentive.
He knew that Zelea often skipped meals when she got busy,so he started following recipe: himself,trying different ways to coax her into eating.
He also prepared flowers and gifts for her.
Every time they were delivered to her office,he couldn’t help sneaking glances to observe Zelea‘
reaction.
Before long,the whole company knew she had a wealthy and generous admirer.
Zelea shyly accepted the flowers and told him to tone it down a little.
“I just want the other guys in the company to know that someone is pursuing you,so they’ll stop getting ideas,“Dion said with a proud and jealous pout that made her laugh.
Their shoulders brushed accidentally,then instinctively moved apart.
Both of them knew how the other felt,yet neither had pierced that thin layer between them.
But unexpectedly,their interaction was caught on camera by a nosy coworker.
The coworkers in the company were all curious,questioning her with mischievous smiles. Some even deliberately avoided the two of them, creating opportunities for them to be alone together.
Zelea didn’t want to become the center of office gossip,so during her lunch break, she went up to the rooftop room to avoid him on purpose.
But when she woke up from a nap,she found Dion childishly tilting his head and grinning at her. Startled,she jolted and fell off the lounge chair.But instead of the pain she expected, she felt a warm breath against her cheek.
Dion’s shoulders were broad and solid, his heartbeat strong and steady.The clean scent of his cologne made her cheeks flush bright red.
She tried to get up,but her calf gave way and she fell again.
“I…“She wanted to explain,but the more she spoke,the more incriminating it sounded.

Dion couldn’t help but affectionately tap her nose at the sight of her flustered expression.
“Maybe this is all heaven’s arrangement–your fall and even our meeting.”
Zelea was stunned. Her long–numb heart started to beat again. She had a strong feeling he was about to say something important.
“I know my identity has brought you a lot of pressure. I’ll go back and tell them–no more spreading rumors. Zelea,l know you still have concerns and that’s okay.I can wait.When the day comes that you want someone to rely on,I’ll be there for you. In the meantime,I only ask one thing:please don’t avoid me,okay?”
Those moist eyes gazed at her,his deep black pupils reflecting only her.
In that moment,her lifeless heart came back to life.
With a smile in her eyes,she wrapped her arms around his neck and gently rested her head on his shoulder.
“I’ve made up my mind–I’ll say yes.” •
Dion’s body instantly froze,a surge of electricity seeming to shoot through his mind.
She said yes?
That’s amazing!
