Chapter 834


    Seeing how he was about to cry, Ro felt a bit helpless. "Grow a pair. This is just a normal


    everyday farewell like those happening any second."


    "Mr. Hawkins..."


    "You''ll do one thing for me after the handover," Ro said calmly.


    "What is it?"


    "Sell this house and those cars for me except one car for daily transportation."


    "Mr. Hawkins, what on earth do you want to do?"


    "I... just don''t want to be burdened with those things anymore." Ro suddenly came up with a new


    idea. He didn''t want to live this kind of life any longer.


    He had a lot of private cars. It took a lot of money to buy this house and for it to be decorated and


    furnished.


    Because when he was a child, Ro''s days were very tight, and he vowed to be a wealthy


    man. After he did, his lifestyle was most extravagant. Even themp on his nightstand was


    customized.


    He was going to sell such a luxurious vi, the vi that he chose and decorated from scratch.


    "Mr. Hawkins, are you happy to do this?"


    "I think I''ll be happier than I ever was." He smiled, without any coldness or mask on his face.


    "Okay..." The secretary suddenly realized that maybe this kind of life was the best for him.


    After sending off the secretary, Ro sat by the window alone, looking at the sunset and sunrise.


    He sat for an entire night, trying to figure out what he was going to do.


    The next morning, the secretary brought all kinds of documents and asked Ro to sign them.


    "Mr. Hawkins, I''ve already put the house out for sale. The price you offered is very low. I think


    someone will take the house soon. If you sell this house, where will you live in the future?" "That''s


    not something to worry about. I already set my eyes on a quite spacious apartment. It''s gonna be


    enough for me. It about a hundred square feet."


    "Only a hundred? Are you sure you can live there?" The secretary doubted, knowing the vi they


    were in now was at least 700 square feet, not to mention the yard and swimming pool.


    The difference between the two ces to live might be a bit too great.


    "I''m alone. If the house is too big, I''ll feel lonely. It''s better to have a smaller one." Ro would


    never exin so much to his secretary in the past.


    Now he seemed to have turned over a new leaf. There was only one sitter who would clean the


    rooms in this vi, and she only came here twice a week.


    Ro didn''t like other people at his house, let alone having a nanny or chef at home. He had been


    taking care of himself all the time.


    "Alright, smaller it is. Since you''ve made up your mind about it, I''ll go through the check- in


    procedures for you."


    "No, you''re not my secretary from today on. That means you don''t have to listen to any of my


    orders. Go to thepany, or you''ll bete. You''ll be very busy today."Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Well, Mr. Hawkins, you can contact me if you need anything in the future, no matter when." The


    secretary bowed to him. "Thank you for your help and care over the years."


    "Bye."


    One monthter, at the office of the vice president of Bumblebee Corp.


    "Vice president, this is today''s document. You need to sign it." The secretary woke up the person


    who was in a daze.


    For the past one month, Reba often went into a daze. Her office was filled with white roses.


    Some of them were fresh and some were already withered. But the flowers just kept oning, one


    for each day.


    The flowers were all the same, but their package was different every day. The deliveryman wouldn''t


    say anything about who sent those flowers. Even if it was a weekend, the flowers would be sent to


    the security room downstairs.


    Reba knew who it was, but she didn''t know why he kept on sending her white roses.


    At first, she thought it was another way Ro used to pursue her but that idea vanished after


    realizing there were no cardsing with the flowers.


    All his phone numbers were no longer avable. She heard that Ro proposed resignation at the


    family meeting and gave all his shares to Tracey.


    Thinking of the words she heard in the vi, Reba felt guilty for the first time.


    "Vice president? What are you thinking about?" The secretary reminded her.


    "Nothing. Sign it, right? Give it to me." Reba took the pile of documents, obviously a little absent-


    minded.


    Her mind was filled with a man named Ro. In the past, she thought that his kindness to her was


    just a show, andter she learned that he was sincere at all times.


    "I''m probably the sunshine in his life, but I''ve hurt him so badly."


    From Tracey''s mouth, Reba knew that Ro''s history had been far more miserable than what


    he himself had said.


    In the past month, she would dream every night. She dreamed of a little boy being bullied. She had


    been living afortable life ever since she was born, shielded from harm. A sense of unease was


    flustering in Reba''s heart.


    "Vice president, you don''t look well. If you are not feeling well, go home and have a rest. You have


    been working for a whole month, even during weekends. Your body can''t take it." The secretary


    advised.


    There was no way that Reba would tell the secretary that she came to the office on weekends


    only to receive the flowers, thinking the roses were her only connection with Ro.


    "I''m fine. Oh, right. How''s the investigation that I asked you to do?" Reba asked, returning to her


    normal state of mind.


    "Ro did not go to anypany or start apany after he resigned from the Rpany.


    Instead, he sold his vi and car."


    "What? What did he sell them for?"


    "I don''t know. I only know that he did so."


    "Then what about now?" Reba asked frantically.


    "No one knows where he went. I and his secretary are pretty close before. He told me all this.


    Ro seemed to have moved to a smaller apartment."


    "Apartment where?"


    "He doesn''t know either. After Ro handed over the resignation letter to him that day, he never


    contacted him for anything. No one knows about when he moved or where he moved to. He


    basically evaporated."


    "Okay, I see. You can leave now."


    "Yes, ma''am."


    There was only Reba in the office. She looked at the bouquet of white roses on the table, which


    had just been sent to her not long ago.


    There were still a few drops of water on the petals. The roses were blooming under the sun, and the


    wind blew over the petals and gently swayed their figures.


    Thinking back to the helpless look on his face when he found out the truth that day and the words


    he said, "Reba, whether you believe it or not, I wouldn''t fail you even if I have to fail the whole


    world. You are the one that doesn''t want me today."


    He was like a stubborn child. His eyes were obviously full of sadness, but he lifted his head and left


    his office proudly.


    After that, every time she thought of his figure when he left, she would feel very sorrowful. A tear


    rolled down from her eyes onto the petals.
