Chapter 58

Although I don't want Roy to worry, I was truly moved by what he said. Roy has helped me so much, but he has never asked for anything in return. The more he does for me, the more I feel indebted to them, afraid that I won't be able to repay them fully.

I couldn't bring myself to look at Roy directly, so I bowed my head, clasped my hands together, and choked out, "Why do you help me? You make me feel so useless."

Roy remained silent, and at that moment, I was truly grateful that they didn't answer. I continued, "You have done so much for me, and if I don't repay you in the future, you will regret it."

"I will never regret it, Flora. No matter what you decide, I will never regret it," Roy said firmly, grabbing my shoulders and forcing me to face them.

At that moment, I was taken aback by Roy's words. How could they come up with an answer so quickly?

"You do these things not expecting an answer from me. It's just what you want, to do everything for the person you love without expecting anything in return," Roy said, holding my hand and pressing it against their left chest. I could feel the warmth of their body and their wildly pounding heartbeat. I looked up at Roy, surprised and only seeing their gentle and affectionate gaze. It felt like I was dreaming. Is there really someone in this world who does everything for me without asking for anything in return, and even helps me unconditionally? Am I really that lucky?

At that moment, my emotions were swept away by Roy and I couldn't escape. We were so close, so close, so close. Just five centimeters away and I had touched his lips. But what surprised me was that I had no intention of stopping. Feeling his breath and warmth made my heart tremble.

But I was surprised when Roy pushed me away forcefully, he bowed his head without looking at me but his expression of shame and shyness spoke volumes. Roy hurriedly and clumsily stood up, he said, "I... I don't want to take advantage of you when you're vulnerable... you might regret this tomorrow. Alright, it's late, we should go to sleep."

Roy quickly left as if wanting to escape from reality, his demeanor made me laugh. "He is so considerate and... sincere." I have never seen a man like Roy, and sometimes that's why I feel unworthy of him, unworthy of his love.

This insecurity has been brewing inside me for a long time, and sometimes it has grown into a mature tree that is difficult to uproot from the depths of my heart, the negative emotions.

In the living room, when the night falls, my mood becomes heavy and exhausted. In the past, when I first arrived in a foreign country and discovered I was pregnant almost every night, I had the same mood as now.

Though it is the same emotion and mood, the thoughts at that time and at this time are different. Back then, I was afraid that Enzo would come and force me to come back, he was always extreme and highly possessive, and I left without saying a word to him. But now, I wonder what I can do for my son, what is the relationship between me and Roy? And what about my daughter? Everything is created by me and Enzo, Rollo and Min don't deserve to get involved.

I don't have many friends, the only person I confide in is Roy. Many people probably think badly of me and consider me a gold digger, Enzo Robert is a powerful man who holds the economic power of the country, while I am just an ordinary person, as long as I obediently stay by his side, my and my children's lives will be comfortable and happy without worrying about work and salary.

But that's not my desire, because what I yearn for is a love that is completely whole, and Enzo can't give me what I want. I can love with reason but not with a shattered trust.

I suddenly think of something and burst out laughing, "So it turns out I have loved Enzo so much, so much that I can't accept him anymore. How ridiculous." I am made to laugh by my own thoughts.

The strangest thing is why Enzo doesn't want to break up with me, it's not difficult but rather easy. He can be free and be with the woman he loves, I'm sure I won't need anything from him so he can rest assured.

But Enzo is determined not to do that, what does he gain by keeping me by his side? Although I have earned a lot of money now, compared to what he has, the amount of money I have earned is only worth a fingertip or maybe even less.

"Enzo is more bewildering than any woman." I sighed.

Because many things have happened, I haven't written a resignation letter to my superiors, and I haven't had a chance to send the report email when the phone rang. The number displayed was from my superior, the one who 'advised' to keep Enzo because of that contract.

I haven't even said good morning and he urged me loudly:

[Flora, where are you? Come to the company immediately, Mr. Robert wants to meet you in person.]

I also guessed that Enzo would come to the company to find me. I overslept and didn't go to work today. I have never been able to oversleep and forget about my job responsibilities. But last night I gave myself an exception.

"Oh, really? I was just about to write a resignation letter for you." I used a friendly and fake tone.

My boss was surprised to hear me say that. It's understandable because I just thought of this decision last night. It also coincides with the end of the employment contract between me and the company.

[You're kidding me, aren't you? Don't say anymore. Come to the company now, Mr. Robert is waiting for you in your office. And as for resigning, we will talk about it later.] He said urgently and worriedly. He didn't know what happened between me and Enzo, so he was extremely confused and anxious.

I picked up the phone and sighed. Even though I didn't want to meet that man at all, I am still the one responsible for the project with DIZ. After resigning, I might not encounter any problems, but the company's reputation and honor will be at stake.

Roy saw me leaving early in the morning and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going? Let me take you there."

As soon as I saw Roy, I immediately recalled my actions from last night and felt ashamed. Roy didn't allow me to refuse, and the atmosphere in the car became awkward and uncomfortable. Perhaps Roy felt the same way as I did.

"After work, what do you want to eat?" Roy asked, breaking the awkwardness between us.

I wasn't in the mood to think about that, but I still replied, "Braised fish sounds good. You cooked that for me before, and I really liked it."

The conversation shifted back to a few old topics as we arrived at my company. I got off the car, bidding farewell to Roy and reminding him to drive carefully. Thanks to Roy, my previously terrible mood had improved, and I was thinking about what the evening meal would be like with him.

As soon as I stepped into my private office, Enzo was already sitting there, next to my company's CEO. He let out a sigh of relief as soon as he saw me as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

Enzo noticed me and quickly stood up. His gaze didn't waver, but I didn't care.

"Mr. Robert personally came here to meet with me. Is there something you want to discuss, sir? If you want, you could have just sent a message, and I would have definitely come to meet you." I spoke gently and put on my trademark smile.

The CEO next to me also added a few words to help me, but Enzo didn't bother to cast a glance at him, which made him feel ashamed. Since I entered this room, Enzo had never taken his eyes off me, making it difficult for me to avoid him, so I could only use a fake expression to conceal my discomfort.

Because nobody at the company knew about the true relationship between me and Enzo, they all thought that my work performance was outstanding and highly regarded by Mr. Robert, so he frequently met with me.

Thinking about those words, I want to burst into laughter.

My Boss was very respectful towards Enzo and treated him as if he were a god. Even though Enzo ignored him, he still tried to win his favor. I was no stranger to my boss's fawning behavior towards the man in front of me because, in my boss's eyes, anyone who could benefit the company would be considered a god.

"Mr. Robert, let's gradually discuss the matter. Regarding the project..."

Enzo coldly interrupted my boss's words, "I came here for the project as well, but I'll only work with the person in charge."

My boss immediately understood that Enzo wanted to kick him out, and he didn't dare to disobey. He quickly stood up and said, "You're right, it's better for Flora to talk to you. Her work efficiency is excellent. There are still many things for the two of you to discuss in this project. So, if you don't mind, I'll leave first to not interrupt your conversation."

I didn't want the chairman to leave, but I didn't have the authority to speak up and stop him. As the chairman walked past me, he didn't forget to remind me, "Don't make Mr. Robert angry. I can tell his mood isn't good. Remember that." I didn't reply but immediately sat across from Enzo.
