Chapter 334
Chapter 334 It’s Me, Don’t Be Afraid
There was a buzz in my head, and I involuntarily let out a loud scream. “Ah!!!!”
My eyes were shut tightly due to fear. I retreated into my office and ended up crouching by the door, my
legs shaking from the shock.
Knock, knock… There came a knocking on the door, followed by a man’s anxious voice.” Yvette, are
you okay?”
I snapped back to my senses upon hearing the familiar voice loud and clear. After being stunned for a
few seconds, I then heard the maic voice of the man outside say, “Open the door. It’s me. Don’t be
afraid.”
Idris?
When the name popped into my mind, my fear dissipated in an instant. I got up and went to open the
office door, but my hands were trembling. The door remained partially blocked by me. I had initially
intended to move out of the way, but I was still trembling from the scare and could not budge.
The person outside pushed the door slightly, revealing a narrow opening. He could not enter fully and
sounded puzzled as he called out, “Yvette?”
My voice was somewhat hoarse as I replied, “Wait… just a moment.”
With great effort, I managed to move aside, allowing the person outside to enter. He was a tall man,
and once inside, he looked at me with a worried expression and asked, “Are you okay?” I pursed my
lips and looked at him. My temper red as I asked, “Why are you here?”
He examined me from head to toe. After seeing that I was fine, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and
said, “I came to take you out for dinner.”
“I’m not hungry,” I replied curtly. I wanted to go back to my desk, but my legs felt weak, making it
difficult to walk. I ended up shuffling a few steps and sitting in a nearby chair.
My subtle movements did not go unnoticed by Idris. He looked at me, his voice carrying a hint of
amusement as he said, “Since when did you be so timid?”
I was not scared now, but I was more irritated than anything else. I nced at him and retorted, “Did
you find it amusing to scare me?”
He appeared somewhat helpless, and a faint smile yed on his lips as he said, “I didn’t scare you on
purpose. I just called your name, and you screamed in fear without even looking at me. You were in
such a panic that it startled me.”
I ignored his exnation. I was no longer in the mood to continue reviewing the documents. After
sitting for a while, waiting for the numbness in my legs to subside, I began to gather my things,
preparing to leave.
Idris stuck to me like glue, following me around. Annoyed by this, I turned to re at him and asked,
“What are you doing?”
He remained gentle, showing no signs of irritation, and said, “I’m taking you to dinner. Skipping meals
is bad for your stomach.”

I pursed my lips and replied with annoyance, “I don’t need you to worry about that.”
He did not argue with me but continued to follow me. I left my office and noticed a beautiful bouquet of
gardenia flowers not far from the office area. I liked flowers, especially well- packaged and fresh
bouquets like this one. It emitted a faint floral fragrance, and out of appreciation for beautiful things, I

Afterward, it dawned on me that it was quitete, and everyone had left the office. Although I merely
took a slight nce around, there were no flowers here before, so these must have been recently
ced.
Idris approached and picked up the bouquet of gardenias. He looked at me and said, “I saw these on
the way and thought you’d like them, so I bought them.”
I ignored him. I stopped looking at the flowers and did not acknowledge him. I simply left the office
area.
I could hear footsteps behind me, knowing it was Idris following. I did not want to talk to him and
continued to the parking lot, with Idris still trailing me, persistent as ever.
I lost my patience and turned to re at him. “Idris, what do you want?”
He held the bouquet of flowers, which looked beautiful, just like him. Especially now, without his usual
coldness and aloofness, he appeared particrly warm.
Looking at me, his voice was calm as he said, “I’ve made a reservation. If you don’t like it, we can go to
the ce you wanted to gost night.”
Hearing his mention ofst night…
I pursed my lips slightly, squinting as I looked at him and asked, “Idris, do you think that by sticking to
me like this, something will happen between us?”
He did not speak and merely looked at me.
The air fell silent for a moment. It was not precisely anger, but I could not describe my ownplicated
feelings at this moment. Was I angry with him? Not really. After the events ofst night, I could not
exin my own emotions anymore.
We remained silent for a while, and I looked at the gardenia flowers in his arms. My heart involuntarily
softened a bit, but I could not bring myself to show it. I extended my hand toward him and said, “Give
me the flowers.”
