Mia's face instantly turned beet red, and she stammered out, "Guys, don't look it up now; if you must, please do it after we're gone. I'd be really embarrassed!" Everyone around respectfully put their work on hold and watched as they left.

Andre looked at the lively Mia with a heart filled with joy.

When the elevator arrived, they both stepped in.

As soon as they were gone, the people in the boss's office immediately opened the web page. The office was once again filled with gasps of surprise. Inside the elevator.

Mia blushed because of their comments, but Andre asked her, "What does a bouquet of 12 roses mean?"

"You have a phone; can't you just look it up yourself?" She said shyly.

"I want to hear it from you."

The mere thought of saying it made Mia blush.

Andre was still waiting for her answer. Mia's expression became more and more conflicted as she twirled her fingers, "Honey, you know what it means." "If you don't say it, I won't know."

Andre just wanted her to say the words he wanted to hear. He always teased Mia, "Mia, say it; we're husband and wife there's no need to be shy." He emphasized again. "We are husband and wife."

Mia thought, if she could give him flowers, why should she feel shy now?

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "The flowers mean that my love for you deepens."

Mr. Cedillo laughed when he heard this.

If the circumstances were right, he'd want to embrace Mia and love her in his own way.

Andre suppressed his excitement. His face was calm as he said, "Remember what you said; your love for me should deepen."

"No, that's just what the flowers mean." Mia whined.

"You gave me the flowers, meaning you want to express this, right?"

The elevator door opened.

In the hall of Cedillo Inc. was a sight that only came once in a blue moon.

Mr. Cedillo, whom the employees admired, was seen holding roses and leading a girl out of the elevator.

Did the girl look a bit unhappy?

But Mr. Cedillo was smiling like a blooming flower in spring.

Suddenly, people remembered the girl who was running around the building with roses.

Turned out that the one who received the roses was Mr. Cedillo. Did this mean the lovely girl was the rumored Mrs. Cedillo?!

Whispers of congratulations swirled around.

The news of Andre receiving roses somehow reached his friends.

Their chat group instantly became lively.

Mars Arrowood sent a message. "Big news in Havenbrook, all related to our well-known Mr. Cedillo. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Conner Nettleton replied. "One at a time."

Mars replied, "He acquired Havenbrook University and gave it to his wife."

Conner and Asher were speechless.

Even the usually serious Teddy expressed doubt and replied, "Is this for real?"

They all thought of Andre as a sensible person; if he decided to acquire a company, he must have thought it through and decided that company would really bring profit. However, they didn't think the proud Mr. Cedillo would do such a thing as acquire a university that had limited profits and required a lot of effort to run.

All of this needed further investigation.

When Mars posted a screenshot of the official Havenbrook University website in the group chat, Conner was so shocked that he spit out his drink, "This is?"

Asher disappeared for three minutes, then reappeared, confirming Mars's screenshot, "It's true, the academic system has posted a notice."

This time, it was Teddy's turn to be shocked.

"This isn't even the most shocking. Look at this picture."

Mars posted a picture of Andre in a suit, holding flowers, and holding Mia's hand.

Teddy replied. "Andre got roses? He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who accepts that."

Asher added to the discussion, "Of course they weren't given to him; with his aloof demeanor, who would dare to give him flowers?"

Mars added, "Whether it's Mr. Cedillo giving the roses to someone else or someone giving them to Mr. Cedillo, don't you think him holding roses is simply incredible?" Conner always had a unique viewpoint, and he enlarged the picture to look at it.

"Is she his wife or a new flame? Look at how tightly he's holding her hand, as if he's afraid to lose her."

He had only met Mia once, and he had long forgotten what she looked like, so he was unsure.

Asher asked, "Mars, is this a photoshopped picture? With Andre's cold demeanor, can he really walk around the office holding roses and a girl and be the center of attention?" Andre, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up in the group chat, "They weren't from me; they were given to me."

Teddy was startled, "Damn! Did someone hack your account?"

Conner was surprised, "They were given to you?"

The usually tough Asher said, "Did you force someone to buy them for you with money?"

Instead of going home, Andre took Mia to the most upscale restaurant in Havenbrook.

Andre usually didn't like steak, but for the romantic date Mia mentioned, he took her, who knew how to enjoy herself, to this place.

His phone kept buzzing, making Andre pick it up.

It turned out they were discussing him in the group chat.

He was in a good mood today, so he spoke up in the group chat and corrected the errors in his friends' assumptions.

He didn't expect his reply to cause such a stir.

He looked at Mia, who was sitting across from him ordering food, then at the bright roses beside him.

Mr. Cedillo swallowed, and he placed the roses in Mia's arms.

Mia was puzzled, "Honey, what's the matter, you don't want them?"

How could Andre not want them? He was just showing off to his buddies that he could receive roses from Mia, "Hold them; I'll take a picture of you."

Mia pouted, "Who are you sending it to?"

"Teddy, Asher, Conner, and Mars."

Mia suddenly remembered that they had met once before. These four were all Andre's close pals. "Hold on a sec!" She put the flower on the table, picked up her bag, and asked the manager nearby, "Where's the bathroom?"

The manager quickly pointed the way for Mia.

She said, "Honey, wait for me, okay?"

She was going to the bathroom to touch up her makeup.

It was her first time appearing in a photo in front of Andre's friends. She had to look stunning so that all of Andre's friends would look at him with envy after seeing how gorgeous his wife was.

In no time, Mia reappeared.

She had put on delicate makeup that made her look fresh and cute. Her eyebrows were lightly brushed with a soft brown color, her eyeliner was slightly winged, and her lips were already naturally soft, but whatever she had applied made them even more glossy. "Did you put oil on your lips?" Mr. Cedillo asked, looking puzzled.

Mia walked over and lightly patted his shoulder, "This is lip glaze. Lip glaze!"

"Oh, lip oil." Mr. Cedillo thought to himself. Wasn't that still oil?

For the first time, Mia felt a bit of difficulty communicating with Andre. "Sweetheart, this is called lip glaze. It's for coloring, not moisturizing like lip oil."

Her friends' boyfriends would gift a tube of lip glaze as a birthday present to their girlfriends. But with Andre, lip glaze had somehow become lip oil.

He ran a business empire but still didn't understand these things.
