C-harley saw that she was giving the roses to everyone, so he was a little happy in his heart. He walked over to Anne and asked, "Anne, you don't like roses, so what flowers do you like? I'll buy one for you tomorrow as well!

Anne looked at Charley, and politely shook her head: "No need, I don't like anything right now!"

"Anne, are you free after work?" "I know there's a new restaurant nearby. I heard that it's pretty good. Let's go and compensate the taste!" Charley did not give up and was not willing to give up. He kept on asking her out.

Previously, Anne would have rejected his invitation because he felt that his colleagues shouldn't be too close to her.

Furthermore, even though Charley had made the entire company know of his fondness for her, Anne had never responded to him in a manner that was neither cold nor hot.

But today, she wanted to anger Alan.

"Sure, let's go Dutch!" Anne agreed with a smile.

"Why do you want to go Dutch? I want to treat you to a meal!" Charley was very happy that she agreed to it, but he was also very unhappy that she said she wanted to spilt the bill.

"If you don't want to go Dutch, then I won't go!" Anne's real purpose was to anger Alan. She did not really want to accept Charley's invitation. Thus, she felt that if they were to spilt the bill, Charley would attempt to go closer to her.

Charley could only nod his head, "Alright, as long as we can have a meal together, I will be satisfied!"

After their chatting, the assistant in the CEO's office suddenly sent a message to the company's staffs.

The title was about the company's new regulations coming out.

The first rule is that employees within the company are not allowed to fall in love with each other at work.

Everyone was surprised but Anne found it funny. What kind of joke was this Alan plays again?

Not long after he sent the mail, Anne received an internal call. It was from Alan, who requested for her to come to his office to talk.

Coincidentally, Anne also had something to say to him. Last time, he said that he wanted to see his daughter, but she didn't agree with him.

Pushing open the door of the CEO's office, Alan felt as if he had matured within a few days. His handsome face was no longer as friendly as before, it was dyed with depression.

Seeing her enter, Alan turned his head to look at her, his voice low and hoarse, "The roses I gave you, do you like?"

"I don't like them. I gave them to my colleagues!" Anne answered very straightforwardly.

"You're lying, this is clearly your favorite flower!" Alan saw through her heart instantly.

Anne laughed coldly: "People's preferences will change. In the past, what I liked were flowers, that's because I was still filled with yearning for love, but now, what I like is money because money can give me and my daughter a sense of security and a better life."

Alan was startled, it seemed that the gift he gave was not sent to her heart.

"Alright, tomorrow, I'll send the money!" Alan immediately changed his mind.

Anne was angered by his words and laughed: "I don't want your money. The money I want is earned by my own."

"My money is not for you, it's for my precious daughter's milk powder. You must accept it, okay? Don't reject me! " Alan knew that she was stubborn, giving her money for free would hurt her self-esteem, so he could only use his daughter as an excuse.

Anne still shook her head, and said coldly: "I can still earn money for my daughter's milk powder by myself, so there's no need for you to share it. In any case, this daughter is mine, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Anne, do you have to reject me so completely? You know how much I love this child! "How much you cherish every second of your time with her, you cannot ruthlessly take away my power and responsibilities." Alan was truly hurt and his handsome face was in pain.

Anne listened to his heartfelt sincerity and his expression stiffened.

"Anne, you can hate me but don't stop me from loving my daughter, okay?" Alan walked in front of her with a pleading look in his eyes.

Anne's eyes looked a little sour for some reason. She had never thought about reaching this circumstance with Alan, but unfortunately, some injuries had already been caused, so it was impossible for her to return to the innocence of her youth.

Fine, I promise you that I won't stop you from seeing your daughter, but you must also promise me that your role is just her father. Don't have any other thoughts, you are the great CEO of your family's corporations. Anne's heart finally softened. She felt she was really too ruthless sometimes. She hated the rules and regulations of the wealthy class but she did not really hate Alan.

The sorrow on Alan's face disappeared in a second, and was replaced with happiness, as if he wanted to embrace this woman.

When he took a step forward, Anne took a step back in time, and said indifferently: "Did you understand what I'm saying in the end?"

Alan's expression stiffened once again. In the end, his hands hung down powerlessly and he sighed softly, "Do you have to draw the line so clearly with me? You really don't have any feelings for me anymore?

Anne looked into his eyes and nodded, "Yes, I have no desire now!"

"But I see that you are fighting very passionately with Charley in your office!" When Alan heard her say that he was heartless, he immediately used the truth to prove it.

Anne lifted her lips and laughed: "You shouldn't be going to meddle in my business again, right?"

"I have to care!" Alan said in a domineering tone, "This is a great matter that decides my daughter's future stepfather!"

Anne sneered: "Don't worry, I have eyes. If I really want to look for her, I will definitely look for a man who is good to my daughter!"

"Women are sometimes easily blinded by love. I must personally check on every man you interact with in the future. If I don't like the men you found, you will have to give up them all!" Alan was still unreasonably tyrannical. Of course, he was already at the edge of collapse and every time he thought of another man touching Anne's body, he really wanted to beat that person up.

Anne wasn't truly a stone-hearted person but she could feel the strong feelings this man had for her from his words.

Unfortunately, she still couldn't get through that barrier in her heart. She kept feeling that the gulf between her and him was too deep, that she should be more rational. Even if her heart still loved him, she should not touch that forbidden line.

"Alan, so many years have passed, you still seem to be very childish!" Anne didn't know what to say to him anymore.

Alan nodded, admitting: "That's right, I'm still that childish man that you loved deeply in the past!"
