Chapter 82
Since Julien and Samuel were cousins, they probably had mutual friends. Although shelmaine only knew a few of Samuel’s friends, Julien’s openness on social media might cause achers to recognizeber.
Although she hadn’t officially agreed to date Julien, it seemed inevitable.
Julien saw no issue and confidentlyreplied, “There’s nothing to worry about.”
Shelmine focused on driving and ended the conversation.
On the other hand, Julien stole a glance at her. She had a gentle profile, thick eyelashes, a delicate nose, and kissable lips. Embarrassed by his thoughts, he turned away and cleared his thoughts.
At Julien’s workplace, Shelmine took acab back to her studio, Julien didn’t force her to drive his car. He only held the keys and watched her leave.
Shelmaine lowered the car window, smiled at him, and waved goodbye,
Throughout the day, Julien couldn’t stop smiling whenever he thought of her smile as she left
Shortly after Shelmate returned to her studio, flowers from Julien arrived. It even came with a card, which Heatrix read the cheesy message aloud.
“Boss, it’s from Mr. Gallagher again, right?” Beatrix grinned, clearly enjoying the gossip
Shelmaine accepted the flowers and the card. “No gossiping”
Beatrix pouted “Boss, you’re so harsh..”
shelmaine returned to her office and placed the large bouquet on the table. The fresh buds were still dotted with water droplets, giving off a soothing fragrance. She casually snapped a few pictures and posted them openly on Instagram.
Soon, she received a call from Isabelle, who asked who had sent the flowers.
Shelmaine replied honestly, “Julien sent them.”
“Samuel’s cousin?
“Tes”
“Oh my gosh, is he pursuing you?”
Shelmaine lightly confirmed before raking a pack of slim cigarettes from her drawer. She picked one out and placed it between her lips without rushing to light it
She didn’t normally smoke but occasionally did when she was in a bad mood. She had quit during her pregnancy but had started again.
As she lit the cigarette, Isabelle’s shocked voice came through. “Did you say yes?”
“No”
“What’s up with the flowers then? Didn’t you accept them?
“I did, but that doesn’t mean I’ve agreed to anything”
Isabelle pondered for a moment. “Shelly, what’s your plan?”
“I don’t believe my miscarriage was a coincidence Belle, I can’t let this go. Why should I keep backing down? I’ve already distanced myself from them, yet they won’t leave me alone. I have my limits.”
Shrimane closed her eyes while nearly shedding tears. Upon recalling everything she had been through, she was furious. After all, she wasn’t one without a temper. Most of the time, she preferred to avoid conflict, especially regarding men. Unfortunately, her attempts at compromise only made her Efe more challenging
