Dillan said in a serious but tender voice, “Gilda, I'm sorry for what happened before. If | had known that the
person | was going to marry was you, | would never have refused. Luckily, it’s not too late. We're both single,
aren't we? | can be your boyfriend anytas long as you say yes to me.”
After saying that, Dillan turned to leave.
But Gilda stopped him and said, “Dillan, you deserve someone better, and you don’t have to waste your
ton me.”
Dillan smiled, “But for me, you are the best. Goddess, you don’t have to feel any pressure. After all, it's my
business to love you, and it's your freedom whether you chooseor not. Whatever the outcome, | can accept
it with open arms.”
After saying that, Dillan left the office.
But Gilda was upset all day because of his words.

Gilda considered Dillan a friend, and that was all.
However, Dillan was more stubborn than Gilda thought.
Gilda sighed and forced herself to stop thinking about it. She resumed her work, and as it was nearing the end of
her shift, she received a call from Helen.
“Aunt Helen!” called out Gilda joyfully,
Looking at Gilda’s haggard face on the screen, Helen asked worriedly, “Gilly, you've been busy with work,
haven't you?”
Gilda smiled and said, “I'm okay, Aunt Helen!”
However, Helen knew very well that Gilda was a workaholic just like Jackson.
Helen said lightly, “Cover for dinner tonight. | made your favorite grilled lamb chops.”
Gilda agreed immediately, “Sure, Aunt Helen! | really miss the grilled lamb chops you
made”
Helen was amused and laughed, “Oh, Gilly, you were always such a sweet girl. Take care of yourself, okay? Don’t
make your life all about work. I've asked Jackson to pick you up and he’s probably already reached. your
company.”
Gilda was surprised and blurted out, “Jackson’s coming to my office?”
Helen answered, “Yep. He should be arriving soon.”
Just then, Gilda saw Jackson outside the office through the glass. She smiled and said gently, “I see him! Aunt
Helen, see you later!”

Hearing this, Jackson raised his eyebrow, reached out to rub Gilda’s head, and joked, “Did you forget what we
said before again?”

Gilda made a grimace and pouted, “Haha! I'm just joking, Jack!”
Her voice was so soft that only she and Jackson could hear it.
Linda, who followed behind Jackson, was shocked at what she had just seen.
Her surprise turned to disdain for Gilda when she thought about what she’d learned from Carol and what the
private investigator she’d gotten had found out about Gilda.
To Linda, Gilda was just a divorced woman who definitely didn’t deserve Jackson.
“Ms. Lynch!” greeted Linda and it was only then did Gilda notice her.
Gilda asked curiously, “May | know your name?”
Linda did not speak but looked at Jackson.
Linda tried to Hint to Jackson to introduce her to Gilda, but Jackson's eyes were on Gilda and he didn’t
notice Linda at all.
Linda had worked for Jackson for many years, but this was the first tshe had been so completely ignored by
Jackson.
But even so, Linda kept a cordial smile on her face as she reached out to Gilda and said, “Ms. Lynch, it’s at
pleasure to meet you! I'm Mr. Moore's assistant, Linda.”
