Chapter 86
“Wade, can you please speak up for us… Tim’s legs trembled as he addressed Wade, trying to suppress his fear.
If his family found out that he had offended the boss of Neon Light, they would kill him for sum!
Carina also stared at Wade with pleading eyes.
They were all pinning their hopes on him. Hadn’t he just said that he was friends with Connor? Maybe Connor would let this slide, for Wade’s sake?
Wade cursed inwardly. Today was just bizarre. He had never heard of Connor having a fiancée, and yet today, of all days, they happened
to meet.
He was not really Connor’s friend. That had been a bluff, but who knew it would actually come to pass.
However, he had said it and now so many hopeful eyes were on him. He felt stuck between a rock and a hard place and decided to give it a try.
For the sake of the Brimer family, Connor might not embarrass him too much.
“Mr. Stonnell.” He approached Connor with a somewhat forced smile. “The incident was a misunderstanding. I had no idea she was your fiancée. They’re with me. Can you let it slide for my sake?”
“Why should I let it slide for your sake?”
Last time, when Flora disguised herself as Séraphine to treat someone at the Brimer family’s home, she knew Connor and Wade were not on good terms
Flora couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Why was Connor so adorable?
“Connor, it’s no fun talking like that.” Wade’s smile faded a bit, and he spoke in a lower tone, with an audible hint of annoyance.
“Moss, Beck, throw him out Connor was decisive, not wasting another word on Wade.
At his command, Moss and Beck each grabbed one of Wade’s arms and dragged him out.
Carina was dumbfounded. So were May and the others.
It turned out Wade was the liar. He had just claimed to be Connor’s friend, but Connor hadn’t given him the time of day.
What kind of background did Flora’s boyfriend have for even the Brimer family’s eldest son to show her such respect?
Obviously, they would no longer be able to enter Neon Light. To avoid the embarrassment of being thrown out like Wade, they quickly left with their tails between their legs.
Carina glared at Flora resentfully before reluctantly following the others.
The drama finally came to an end.
“Connor, I’m hungry. Flora rubbed her stomach. She hadn’t eaten yet.
“Let’s get some food in my room? Connor asked softly.
He had his own private room at Neon Light.
“Sure!” Flora hugged his arm. “But I’ve been walking all day, and my feet are so sore, I can hardly walk.”
Her voice was sweet and playful, melting Connor’s heart.
“How about I carry you?”
“Okay!”
Flora laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck, allowing him to scoop her up in a princess carry.
As they entered Neon Light, many recognized Connor. They were all stunned to see him carry a girl upstairs
They were curious which girl had caught Connor’s eye, but her head was buried in his chest, hidden from view. They couldn’t see clearly.
Flora and Connor mached the top floor using the CEO’s private elevator and went into the CEO’s restroom.
Connor gently placed Flora on the couch before attempting to let go, but Flora’s hands remained around his neck. She was unwilling to release him. He was forced to lean down, his hands propped on either side of her waist.
“Hey?” He asked softly.
They were very close, close enough to feel each other’s breath.
“Am I heavy?” Flora looked at the fine sweat on his forehead, teasing him.
“You’re too light”

Chapter 86
She barely weighed anything, making it almost uncomfortable to hold her.
Then why
“Then why do you look so tired?”
“Because… you’ve taken up all the space in my heart”
Holding Flora was tricky. Too much force might make her uncomfortable, too little, and he might hurt her.
Flora laughed. “Connor, you’ve gotten good at sweet talk.”
Connor ordered some food from the kitchen. Worried that Flora might be hungry before the food arrived, he asked them to bring up some desserts first.
Soon, desserts arrived. They were all of Flora’s favorites.
“Sign here.”
As Flora finished a piece of cake, Connor handed her a document.
After wiping her hands clean with a napkin, she curiously took the document, and then her eyes widened in shock.
Connor was transferring the ownership of Neon Light into her name. All the paperwork was ready. All she had to do was sign her name. The vast Neon Light would then be hers.
Considering all the paperwork, Connor must have started preparing this a long time ago.
Flora was touched, smiling as she spoke. “Really?”
“Mhm.”
“I don’t want it.” She handed the contract back to Connor, huffing “Being a boss is so tiring. I want to be the girl behind the boss!”
“Just sign it” Connor smiled, gently stroking her hair away from her forehead
“Connor,” Flora asked with a smile, is this my wedding gift?”
