Noah Reed frowned deeply, “Sister, can’t you accept my proposal yet?”

Now that there were no concerns to look back on, Noah Reed did not understand why Delia Frieman was still hesitating.

Delia Frieman took a deep breath, “But I am really not good enough for you.”

And more so, Delia Frieman knew the pain of gaining and then losing.

“Everyone in this world is equal, there is no such thing as one not being good enough for the other,” Noah Reed looked at Delia Frieman, then continued, “Sister, you are truly remarkable. Could you please stop belittling yourself?”

Delia Frieman hung her head low, remaining silent.

Noah Reed’s eyes became somewhat red.

With all issues resolved, he thought he could now smoothly hold Delia Frieman’s hand.

However, he didn’t expect…

At this very moment…

Delia Frieman looked up at Noah Reed, “Can I ask you a question?”

“Mmhmm,” Noah Reed replied, “Go ahead.”

Delia Frieman continued, “Are you sure that your parents already know about my situation?”

“I am certain of it.”

At this point, a glimpse of hope appeared once again in Noah Reed’s eyes, “So, sister, can you say yes to me now?”

Delia Frieman hesitated, “I need to think about it more.”

“For how long?” Noah Reed immediately asked.

“Three days.” Delia Frieman wanted to give herself some time.

She was very sure that she liked Noah Reed.

To flatly refuse him seemed regretful. Therefore, she wanted to give herself some time to consider.

“Just three days?” Noah Reed asked.

“Mmhmm.” Delia Frieman nodded, then added, “You can leave now. I will give you my answer in three days.”

Upon hearing this, Noah Reed was extremely excited, “Okay, okay, okay, I will leave right away. Sister, I won’t disturb you any longer.”

Once he finished speaking, Noah Reed turned to leave.

After Noah Reed left, Delia Frieman was the only one left in the office.

The air was quiet.

Delia Frieman sat in her office chair, and all that appeared in her mind was the image of Noah Reed.

Her heart was beating faster and faster.

She was very torn now.

She wanted to accept Noah Reed, but she couldn’t get past this hurdle in her heart.

Perhaps it was related to her past experiences, but she always felt that she was not good enough for Noah Reed.

Yet to outright reject Noah Reed would leave her feeling full of regret.

She didn’t know what choice to make.

The old scent of roses filled the air.

Delia Frieman lifted her eyes slightly, seeing a bouquet of fiery red roses in front of her.

The smell was making her even more upset and confused.

Kon kon kon—

Just at this moment, a knock on the door sounded in her ears.

Delia Frieman snapped back to reality at this moment, she immediately sat up straight and picked up a file from the table, “Come in.”

Her mood shifted quickly.

As if nothing had happened.

“Manager Frieman,” the secretary walked in from outside with a bunch of files, her gaze fell on the roses, excitement evident in her eyes. She placed the files on the desk, “These need to be signed.”

“Mmm.” Delia Frieman nodded, “You can leave now.”

“Alright,” the Secretary turned to leave but then seemingly remembered something and added, “Manager Frieman, don’t forget we have a meeting at three this afternoon.”

Delia Frieman was stunned for a moment, then nodded. If the Secretary hadn’t reminded her, she would have forgotten completely.

“Mmm.”

The Secretary continued, “I’ll leave first then. Any issues, just call me.”

Delia Frieman nodded.

The Secretary turned and left.

As soon as she stepped out of the office, she said to the colleagues outside the door, “Such a huge bouquet! ”

Her expression was very exaggerated.

“Really?”

The Secretary said, “Of course! I saw it with my own eyes! It seems that our Manager Frieman is really going to become a princess!”

Noah Reed was the crown prince of the Li Corporation, which would make Delia Frieman the princess.

Upon hearing this, the rest of the colleagues started discussing.

Noah Reed had been quiet for several days. Everyone thought Noah Reed lost interest in Delia Frieman, but he turned up again.

Back in the office.

Delia Frieman forced herself to stop thinking about other things and to settle down to work.

Nothing is more important than work.

About ten minutes later, Delia Frieman had returned to work mode.

On the other side.

Noah Reed also returned to his work post.

When Gerald Connell heard about this, he rushed over, “Manager Li, you’re really back!”

“Mmhmm.” Noah Reed nodded.

Gerald Connell curiously asked, “I heard that you gave Manager Frieman flowers again? Are you trying to chase her again?”

“Yes.” Noah Reed easily admitted.

This was not something to be ashamed of.

Gerald Connell continued, “Manager Li, I’m really curious, what happened between you and Manager Frieman before?”
