Chapter 5 Flower Bouquet

Five years later.

In a boutique with the name Daisy hanging beautifully, a little girl was running around with balloons in her hands.

Her blooming red dress made her look cute. Especially when her little face displayed a bright smile, making her look like a happy little fairy.

At that moment, an employee walked up to her and called out, "Miss Naomi."

Suddenly, the little girl stopped her steps and turned to look at her. "Did Mommy call me?"

"Yes. She said that you should come in because the sun is getting hotter. Your skin could burn," replied the female employee with the name tag Lucia.

Naomi nodded obediently and took a small jog towards Lucia, still with the balloon held tightly.

Lucia immediately took her hand and led her inside.

However, when they reached the door, a man came in carrying a medium-sized bouquet of red roses. "Excuse me."

Suddenly, both of them stopped and turned around at the same time.

Naomi's clear eyes looked ordinary when she saw this. She even looked at the man and said playfully. "Uncle, you came again. Is your boss still telling you to send flowers to mom?"

The man smiled stiffly.

After a year of doing the same thing, he had only met this little girl a few times, and every time he did, he always managed to be awkward.

This child looked more mature than her age.

"Yes, but this time I have to meet with Madam. I have something to tell her. Is she inside?" As the question was asked, the man's gaze fell on Lucia.

But the woman didn't show any meaningful expression at all. Instead, she said, "Madam said she doesn't want to see anyone. Sir, please leave immediately and never come again."

"Miss, please. We are both employees. I can't just leave without performing my duties. I need to see Madam to tell her something," the man insisted.

"Just tell me, and I'll tell her," Lucia retorted, standing her ground.

Madame had given her orders, and she had to carry them out properly, no matter who the man in front of her was!

"I can't. My master told me to say everything directly to Madame. This is important." The man's face became anxious, and he occasionally glanced in the other direction. "Please help me just this once."

Naomi, who was watching silently, followed his gaze and found a black car parked on the side of the road.

Her little brain spun fast, and she immediately understood something.

"I'll try to talk to Mom. You just wait in the waiting room," she said suddenly, making the two adults who were arguing startle.

"Miss!" Lucia bent down and held Naomi's small shoulders seriously. "You can't let him in. He's just a foreign man of unknown origin. Madam has also told you to kick him out if he comes again."

"It's okay. Just trust me." But Naomi smiled widely, making her eyes curve beautifully.

Then she gave the man a quick glance and walked away with a small skip. "After all, not everyone has such a mark."

Lucia fell silent in confusion and then ran after Naomi. Meanwhile, the man was surprised. He slowly looked down, looking at the tie he was wearing.

A faint logo was there, and just like the little girl said, not just anyone could have it.

However, how would a girl her age know about it?

Even adults who understood the world, like the female employee, didn't know this.

"Uncle, come in! Mom is waiting for you in the waiting room!" Naomi's loud shout broke the man's reverie.

Suddenly, he rushed in.

Naomi, who ran first, took her place beside her mother. She painstakingly crawled up and sat down obediently.

"Mrs. Kiara," greeted the man, bowing briefly and placing the flowers he brought on the table.

Kiara, who sat gracefully, looked at him flatly. "Sit down and tell me what you came for!"

The man suddenly felt nervous, but he still followed her instructions and said, "My name is Garth, I am the secretary and assistant to Mr. Alden Lindsey of the Madison Group."

Kiara's body stiffened. Her expression looked very serious, with a cold look in her eyes.

"Mr. Alden would like to congratulate you on the opening of your first boutique. He-"

"He already did on the first day of the boutique opening. I also received the gift," Kiara interrupted quickly.

Garth smacked his lips nervously. But he tried to remain calm and continued. "Mrs. Kiara, you don't seem to like small talk, so I'll just get to the point."

He adjusted his seat and became more serious. "Mr. Alden is offering a partnership, not only in business but also in personal matters."

Kiara was silent.

The woman, who wore a pastel-colored brocade dress with her hair tied with clips, glanced at Naomi, who watched their conversation with an innocent face.

Then she turned her body and rubbed her head gently. "Sweety, go to Mommy's room. There is a doll that Mommy just bought. Play with it and wait for Mommy to come, okay?"

Naomi immediately looked at her with a happy twinkle.

She nodded enthusiastically and, jumped down, and ran away happily. "I'm waiting for you, Mom!"

Kiara just looked at her with a smile on her face.

This obvious change made Garth momentarily mesmerized.

Kiara was very beautiful and became more beautiful when she smiled.

"Tell Mr. Alden that I'm not interested," Kiara said suddenly with an expression that became flat again.

"Madam, don't rush into a decision. Mr. Alden can give you everything you need." Garth leaned forward and whispered softly. "Don't you want revenge? Or, don't you want to know the secrets within the Harrison family?"

"You!" Kiara looked angry.

She did not like anyone interfering in her affairs, even if it was Mr. Alden, the father of her betrayed ex-lover!

For the past five years, she had kept all her personal matters tightly closed. No one knew about her revenge intentions.

She would carry things out silently and slowly but surely.

But this man... Kiara's eyes became sharp. "What do you want?"

"Madam, please don't get angry. I only said what I had to say. If you have many questions, please meet Mr. Alden tonight at the glow restaurant," said Garth, who then placed a business card in front of Kiara and stood up.

He bowed softly and took his leave.

Kiara stayed where she was, staring at Garth's departure.

Her gaze then fell on the business card the man had given her. When she picked it up, the name Alden Lindsey Madison was beautifully engraved in gold with black gradations.

Her feelings were suddenly mixed. Her brain was abuzz with all sorts of thoughts and questions.

Alden Lindsey was a highly respected leader.

His expertise and ruthlessness in the business world were real. Everyone recognized that. In fact, it was because of this that many people did not want to deal with him.

The company has had a big name for decades. But for Alden Lindsey to be able to keep it number one until this moment is something extraordinary.

Not only can he make an increase in the company's shares, but he can also easily conquer the companies he targets.

The prosperity and tranquility that the Madison family feels now is because of him.

With such a great man, why suddenly offer to cooperate? Especially when it comes to revenge.

Alden must know exactly about her identity and her past. If she took revenge, his son Daniel would be the main target.

Kiara couldn't help but think negatively when thinking about this. And the more she thought, the more strange she felt.

"Is this a trap for wanting to get rid of me?" Kiara muttered uneasily.

However, later that night, Kiara walked gracefully into the restaurant Garth had mentioned.

Her long red dress made her look charming with a slit on her right leg that reached her thigh, revealing her beautiful white legs.

The matching heels further enhanced her appearance. The hem of her dress fluttered every time she took a step.

Her curled hair exposed her seductive neck and shoulders, making everyone on the ground floor of the restaurant involuntarily turn their heads in fascination.

She looked so charming, like a red rose in the middle of a garden. So prominent, beautiful, and alluring.

However, despite receiving so much attention, the woman seemed unperturbed and continued to stride confidently. She looked straight ahead with a faint smile on her beautiful face.

Her current figure was very different from the one at the boutique this afternoon.

After thinking it through, she decided to meet Alden with her best appearance.

An offer of cooperation from a great man would not come twice.

Although she did not know exactly what the man was planning, she had already decided to accept it. No matter what it took, she would bear it.

Especially with his status... wouldn't revenge be more interesting if it was done through the closest person? Especially since he was his father.

Kiara couldn't wait for that wonderful day to arrive.

Once on the second floor, in front of the room with the license plate number 2 on the door, she stopped her steps and knocked lightly.

The movement was smooth, and the sound was light. But it didn't take long for the door to open, revealing a bespectacled man staring at her.

Grath had not expected that Kiara would actually come, especially with such a beautiful appearance. "Please come in, Mrs. Kiara. Mr. Alden is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you." Kiara smiled faintly and walked in.

Grath then moved out and closed the door softly.
