Chapter 84 It''s Better To Raise A Flower Than A Cat
"Get out right now! Don''t evere here without my permission!"
Terence suddenly eximed as he rested his head atop his one hand which was gracefully propped up
on the table. He took a cold nce at Rainer.
Rainer, who was holding the slipper, put it back to its original ce and nodded to Terence. "Yes, I''ll
leave now," he meekly said.
He let out a deep sigh, knowing that Terence was still in a bad mood.
Normally, even if he talked in a straightforward manner, Terence wouldn''t be so angry.
Outside the window, the rain drizzled in the silent dark night, showing no signs of stopping.
Terence held a cigarette between his fingers and rested his head on his palm once again. He looked
through the ss window from which lightning could be seen shing through the dark sky, followed by
a rumble of roaring thunder. The grass on thewn was bent down by the rain again and again, and
they never seemed to straighten up.
''Are they hurt?
Not really. It seems like the only way for them to grow up. Though the grass is humble and trivial, they

stubbornly have a strong vitality.
After the sky clears and it stops raining, they can still hold up their head high, '' Terence contemted.
Terence wanted to protect them from the rain, the wind, and the thunder.
He wanted to be a huge tree that would stand out in the forest to shield the grass from any natural
disaster that woulde their way.
No matter where the grass would take its root, the tree could always reach out to them, letting them
enjoy the nourishment of the sun and the shade of the tree.
He could even cultivate them into precious orchids.
As everyone knew, orchids looked like grass when they were small. After growing up, orchids would be
white and tender as innocent and elegant as girls, deeply loved and respected by people.
The cigarette had burned up to the end but Terence didn''t smoke one huff, so he simply put it out. A
smile began to emerge on his handsome face as if he had finally figured out something. His deep dark
eyes glittered like stars resided on them.
''Since she doesn''t want to be a cat, then let her be a flower. Though it''s undoubtedly harder to raise a
flower, it''s her wish after all and I totally don''t mind, '' contemted Terence.
In the busy streets of BH City, a car was parking by the street.
"Sir, you''re being soft-hearted. Yesterday was a golden opportunity, but you missed it..."
a tanned, thick-browed man nagged to the other man in the back seat.
The man in the back seat turned his attention away from the window as his lips twitched on his stern-
looking yet handsome face.
"That''s fine. I have a better idea. Although it''s risky, it will kill three birds with one stone. It will
consolidate my current status and at the same time, the Huas family will remain where we want them to
be," the man exined confidently.
The dark-skinned man leaned over curiously and asked, "Mr. Noah, what exactly is this better idea
you''re talking about?"
Noah touched his Swarovski watch and smiled with a grin.
"You''ll know it when it''s done." Noah smiled a little and continued to stare outside the car.
After work, Ca went to a cafe with her colleagues before going home. When she reached the gate of
her apartment building, she spotted a familiar ck Land Rover.
"Mr. Noah? You''re still in BH City!" Ca eximed as the window facing her side of the street rolled
down when she walked by.
Seeing him, Ca was briefly reminded of the meal that she treated him which cost her a great deal of
money. ''Why is he still here?
Does he want me to treat him again?'' Ca thought to herself.
"What''s the matter? Don''t you want to see me?" Noah joked with a smile after sensing Ca''s
embarrassment underneath her apprehensive greeting.
''Is she still thinking about the expensive meal?'' Noah thought.
"No, no! You saved my life. There''s no reason that I wouldn''t want to see you." Ca waved her hands
immediately and smiled back at him. "Mr. Noah, why are you here? Did youe to see me?" Ca
then asked.
Noah looked at the time on his watch and said, "I have a business dinner party to attend tonight and
we''re required to bring a date. I don''t know any other woman in this city.
So, I''m wondering if I can have the honor of having your apany?"
Ca was astonished by the sudden invitation. She was hesitant to say yes.
A business dinner party?
She had never been to one. She didn''t know what it was for and how she should behave. It wouldn''t be
as simple as eating, right?
"The dinner party is to celebrate the sessful cooperation of twopanies. Many professionals in
the field are invited," Noah exined, seeing her confused state. He went on, "I just need to show up
with a date. Halfway through the night, I''ll find an excuse to leave so it won''t take a lot of your time.
A lot of people wille to this party, but you don''t need to be nervous because they won''t even notice
us in the huge crowd."
"Miss Ca..."
"Miss Ca?"
Noah called out her name as Ca was lost in a trance.
When she finally regained consciousness, she shook her head and replied, "I''m sorry. I can''t go. I''ve
never been to such an asion and I don''t know any of the social etiquettes. I''m just going to
embarrass you if I go."
To Noah''s surprise, she told him of her humble origins but it was the truth and Ca knew that there
was nothing she could do about it.
''It''s good to know one''s own self, right?'' Ca thought.
If she had frequently attended such asions, she would naturally master the social etiquette and
wouldn''t be so timid.
But she had never been to one. She would definitely embarrass herself, and even worse, humiliate
him.
Noah didn''t insist. He just smiled pitifully and told her, "Miss Ca, are you sure you won''te?
It''s alright. You don''t owe me anything anymore. I saved you and you thanked me with a meal and now
we''re even. Don''t worry. I won''t ask you to do more favors to thank me just because I saved you.
But, please consider it. If you want toe, I''ll take care of everything—the dress, makeup, hair,
essories. However, if you really don''t want to, I won''t force you."
Ca slowly lowered her head. To try something out for the first time needed courage. Going to a fancy
dinner party was something she could be brave about but...
she was worried about her own safety.
She had no idea what his intentions were by approaching her.
He was different from Terence. Terence would never hurt her, no matter how he treated everyone else.
How could she trust a man whom she had only seen several times?
"Mr. Noah, how about this? I have a friend who often goes to such asions. She''s pretty and
experienced with these sort of things. She''ll be a good date. I''ll call her..."
Ca was just reminded of her friend Sherry Chen. Sherry liked to show up in celebrity parties and was
really well-versed with socializing.
"Miss C..." Noah tried to stop her.
But she was already making the phone call before he could say anything further.
"Sherry, it''s me, Ca. I have a friend who needs to attend a dinner party, but he needs a date to go
with him. Are you avable tonight?" Ca excitedly asked.
Sherry Chen was her ssmate at university. Right now, she was working in a big corporation and
would go to different kinds of parties dressed in designers'' brands.
"Yes! Of course! I''ll be there. Where is the address? Is there a car picking me up? If not, it''s okay. I can
go by myself," Sherry went on quickly with the details. Hearing a dinner party, Sherry''s eyes were
immediately radiant with glow.
"About the car, I''ll ask him about it and try to get it for you. I''m so d that you cane. I''ll call you
After she ended the phone call, Ca looked for one of Sherry''s selfies on her social media and
cheerfully showed it to Noah.
