Chapter: 616
The bouquet of baby's breath was crafted from aqua-blue diamonds, like an eternal Starry Sky.
Onlookers gasped and murmurs of excitement filled the air once more.
"Oh my goodness! This must be the rare aqua-blue diamond from abroad. They say one carat is worth a villa, which is over ten million."
“Damn! I've never seen anything like this before. I could work a million years and still not have enough cash to afford these diamonds."
“Ugh, I'm so jealous!"
“That's way too generous. Can you even imagine who's richer, Mr. Jasper Anderson or this mysterious admirer who bought flowers worth a whole residential community?"
“Hey, watch what you say about Mr. Anderson behind his back. You never know who might be listening."
Stunned, Ariana lifted the heavy bouquet and carefully retrieved a card from the center. The words on the card were written with a graceful flourish, reading, "My love for you is eternal.”
The signature simply said, "Love, Anderson."
On the top floor of the Sj Entertainment building, Horace stood in front of a massive glass window, gazing through a telescope.
"Sir, Mrs. Anderson has received the gift," he muttered, reporting in real-time.
"Is she pleased? Does she like it?" Theodore looked up from his computer, raising his eyebrows with confidence.
Horace paused for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and peered through the telescope once more before responding, "Mrs. Anderson seems to be expressionless, so it's hard to tell whether she's in a good mood. The onlookers, however, are thrilled.
They each left with a bunch of baby's breath."
"She's probably trying to stay composed." Theodore judged Ariana's mood with his keen intuition.
"Deep down, she must be thrilled. But the crowd makes her feel too self-conscious to show her true emotions."
Horace muttered to himself in a low voice, "Whatever you say, boss." He really couldn't see how happy Ariana was. On the contrary, she appeared to be a little embarrassed.
So many people were watching her, it was like a show. If he had been there, he would have dug a hole and buried himself in it.
He really wanted to ask Theodore why he was so confident that Ariana would like the flowers. But after considering his well-paying job, he chose his words carefully and asked, “You could tell that Mrs. Anderson doesn't like flowers the last time, right? Why did we prepare so much baby's breath this time?"
"I didn't send flowers this time, but diamonds. The flowers are just decoration,”
