I Bloom While You Wither

“It must be President Bradford's work. I heard that she gives her husband a watch every year.”

“Mr. Mcknight must have saved the Milky Way in his previous life, so he was able to marry such an outstanding woman like President Bradford.”

“In fact, Mr. Mcknight's family background is also very good. His mother was a famous strong woman in Harlette when she was alive.”

“It's a pity that she died young. I heard that she was angered to death. Otherwise, the richest woman in Harlette would definitely have to be replaced.”

I stopped outside the president's office.

Meghan's dissatisfied voice came from inside, “I clearly ordered two watches, one regular edition and one limited edition.

“The regular edition has already been delivered, but you told me I have to wait for the limited edition?

“Do you guys do business like this?”

“No need to explain too much. If the watch is not delivered within an hour, I will file a complaint to your President!”

It turned out that Meghan bought two watches.

After standing outside the door for a few minutes, I pushed it open and walked in.

When she saw me, Meghan, who had been frowning, immediately smiled. “Lucas, you are here!”

“Wait a moment, I'll be there soon as I finish processing these documents,” she said it was still early and there was no rush.

Then I sat on the sofa, looked at my phone and waited silently.

Meghan was very serious and beautiful at work.

In a trance, I felt that she had some similarities with my mother.

In fact, it was not surprising at all, because both of them are strong women who were influential in the business world.

After half an hour, my phone suddenly received a reminder message.

I clicked on it and saw that it was Raquel who updated his Instagram.

Four photos, all close-ups of him wearing a watch.

“This is the best birthday present I’ve ever received. People say the new year is better than the old year, I say you are better than everything!”

Many comments quickly popped up below.

“Isn't this the new Patek Philippe?”

“Oh my god, this is a limited edition worth over 37 million!”

“I’m so envious.”

“No need to guess, I know who sent it.”

“I won't say anything more. I just wish lovers will finally get married.”

I kept scrolling down but could not find Meghan's comment.

Looking up, she was still focused on her work, with her phone quietly placed aside.

I realized that when Raquel posted this message on Instagram, he had most likely blocked her.

I looked bitter.

As far as I could remember, that day was the first time I saw Meghan so angry.

Just for a watch.

Finally, Meghan finished her work and drove back to her parents' home with me.

On the way, I closed my eyes and took a nap.

Meghan's cell phone suddenly rang.

She turned her head and looked at me, thinking that I was asleep and then she pressed the answer button with confidence.

“Meghan, thank you for giving me such a valuable watch.”

The sound coming from the Bluetooth headset was very low, but I was close enough to hear it clearly.

Meghan's lips curled up.

“It's only about 30 million, not that expensive. As long as you like it, I can buy you anything.”

Raquel was very touched and said, “Over the years, you have given me so many gifts. And each time it's more valuable than the last.

“I feel very uneasy. If Lucas knew about this, he would definitely be unhappy. I don't want you and your husband to have conflicts because of me.”

Meghan smiled calmly, “Don't worry, he won't know. And I bought him a watch, too, though not as valuable as yours.”

Raquel suddenly lowered his voice, “Meghan, can you spend the night with me?”
