YOU CAN'T BRIBE ME
Maria was contemplating if she's going to work or not.
She was nervous to see Tobias, but she can't skip work. She wouldn't want to give Tobias the satisfaction to insult her again.
She opened the main door of their office and surprised to saw her table full of red roses.
Petals were scattered on it. In the middle, placed a two stems of red roses and a card.
( I'm sorry. T.)
She felt her heart skip a beat.
"I'm sorry miss Ho."
Tobias spoke behind her that made her startled.
What did he think of her, can easily persuade by flowers?
Heck no!
Maria turned to him with a serious expression on her face.
"you don't have to do this kind of thing sir. What would my coworkers will tell if they're able to know about this?"
She started cleaning her table.
"I don't care, I just want to apologize."
"I do care, I don't want other people insult me."
she responded coldly,
"and if you want to apologized, just say so. You can't bribe me with flowers."
she put the petals in a box and the roses in a vase.
Tobias was caught off guard. He didn't see it coming.
He thought that she was like the other woman that can easily gave in if you gave them flowers. But he was wrong.
Very wrong!
He stood there a little longer but Maria ignored him completely. Tobias left her with second thought. What else he could do to make her forgive him?
Suddenly his phone rang.
"hello"
he answered coldly.
"hi sweetheart! can I go there?"
Charlotte asked him seductively.
How can he disposed this woman? He ended their relationship after that night, because he can't forget Maria.
They'd only dated because they want, but they both stated that no string attached. Lately, Charlotte was becoming more demanding and it's choking him so much.
"sweetheart?"
"I'm busy."
he think of a reason to tell her.
"are you avoiding me?!"
she became furious on the other line.
"no, I really have a meeting today."
He remained calmed. His thoughts was in something, no, someone.
"really?! I'm at you're office right now. Your secretary told me that you have a free schedule for this day!"
she hang up the phone and he heard loud knock at his door.
MARIA TRISTINE HO!
How could she?!
Maria pretended not to hear Tobias girlfriend's outburst.
Ghad! She's so noisy. Charlotte asked her if Tobias has a meeting for today, but when she looked at her notepad Maria saw nothing. So, she tell Charlotte the truth.
Maria sense that his avoiding his girlfriend. To have her revenge she tell Charlotte his schedule for this week.
Hahaha! Beware of Maria's wrath!
You're doomed Tobias.
Very doomed!
She secretly watched Charlotte knocking angrily on his door. Maria felt happy inside, but a little guilty. She knew that Charlotte would nagged him to death.
"if you won't open this fuvking door, I'll promise you, I'll knocked on this door till you decided to open this!"
She heard Charlotte said furiously.
The door swung open and Maria watched as Tobias pulled Charlotte inside and closed the door with a loud bang!
Maria was left there, guessing what will they do inside.
Of course! What else would they do there?
Pray?!
She felt something in her heart that she doesn't knew but made her depressed.
Oh dear?! Why was she felt depressed? For what reason?
On her thought, the main entrance door swung open and a delivery man from a high class restaurant came in.
"ma'am here's your delivery."
he reached out the box towards her.
She was confused, she never ordered food because she made lunch.
Maybe the couple inside was the one who ordered it. She accepted the box and smiled at him.
"Ms. Qin ordered it and said to delivered it to you so you can give it to them, personally."
the man speak politely.
"thank you"
"please sign here ma'am."
After she signed, the delivery man left.
Maria walked towards Tobias main office and knocked.
She was met with silence, she can't hear what's inside because the room was sound proof.
She knocked again, but the same.
Maria decided to open the door, luckily its not locked. She hesitated for awhile then pushed it forward.
Her composed smile froze to what she witnessed!
