Trapped with the CEO

Initially, Aron had intended to buy red roses and white roses. But he was told by the flower girl that yellow roses mean, "Enjoying the time spent with you."

So he bought 99 yellow roses straightaway.

Martha's heart started racing when she saw Aron holding a bouquet of yellow roses. There was a lot going on inside her.

'What brings him here? Why does he have all those flowers? Is his new lover someone in the Ji Group? Who is she then? And what about Judy?'

As the crowd cheered, Aron walked and stopped right in front of her. She looked up at him with astonishment. "You..."

Aron smiled and said, "Honey, I'm here to pick you up."

Martha did not notice, that he was holding the flowers tighter and tighter because of he was getting more and more nervous. It was the first time he had bought her flowers, and he wondered whether she would like it or not.

Martha quickly came to her senses and tried to calm down. She blushed and turned to the man beside her, "Mr. Zhang, I am so sorry… but my husband is here to pick me up. I'm afraid I've got to go now."

The Mr. Zhang Martha just mentioned had insisted on inviting her to dinner. Aron's arrival freed her from it since she didn't want to go to dinner with him in the first place.

She then accepted the flowers and looked at Mr. Zhang apologetically.

Aron didn't know the man, but the man had recognized Aron. He was surprised to know that Martha's husband was Aron. But he let out a smile shortly after and said, "Nice to see you, Mr. Gu. I am Tomas from the Ascendas Company. We've worked together before..."

Regardless of the prestige of the Gu family, the Gu Group was a leading company in J City. So there were very few people who did not know who Aron was.

Aron pondered for a while, but he couldn't recall having worked together with this man. He nodded lightly, pulled Martha into his arms and said to Tomas, "If you will excuse us."

Tomas nodded vigorously, and watched them get into the car, bowing and scraping.

While they were in the car, Martha held onto the flowers tightly. She could barely keep them together because there were so many of them.

"Do you like it?" Aron asked and read Martha's expression.

Her respon

"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

million."

Sixty million was a huge amount of money, so she had never mentioned it to Aron before.

She had only asked for millions every time her father was in need of money, but merely as a stopgap.

Sixty-million was almost a small fortune for Aron, but it was also something he could easily afford. He would be none the worse for giving her the money.

Aron had roughly estimated the Ji Group's accounts. He was expecting a bigger deficit, so he had prepared a hundred million for her.

He took out a bank card from his wallet, passed it on to Martha and said, "My father-in-law is actually business-minded; he was only deceived by your stepmother. Give him sixty million, and the rest is for you to keep."

"Don't…"

Aron knew she would refuse. He grabbed her hand before she could finish, thrust the card into her hand and said, "Let's just say I lent it to your father. As to the rest of it… isn't it God's truth, that a husband is to give his money to his wife?"

The warmth from his hand made her tremble. She could feel the card right between their palms. "Yes, but…"

"No buts. Or do you want more? Do you want to manage the household budgets?" He looked at her teasingly.

Martha shook her head quickly, "No, that's not what I mean…" She secretly pinched herself and tried to calm down.

Martha was usually a very calm and collected person, when she didn't have to face Aron. But in his presence, she would simply start to tremble or lose her breath.
