He frowned deeply.
A storm was brewing in his eyes.
Was this woman planning to get back together with Florentino?
He took a deep breath, gripping the cup in his hand tightly.

Meanwhile, Florentino was completely unaware. He looked at Sandria and spoke, enunciating each word.
“Have you thought about what happened yesterday? Sandy, I don’t care about your status at all. I just want you back by my side. For you, I can break off my engagement with Courtney. Even if the whole city criticizes me, I don’t care.”
He didn’t care about her status?
He would break off his engagement for her?
He sounded so righteous. If Sandria didn’t know he was aware of her identity as Ms. Schroeder, she might have been foolish enough to believe him.
But people don’t fall into the same trap twice.
“Let me think about it. Don’t rush me, give me some time.”
Florentino nodded, knowing he couldn’t push her too hard.
“Alright, then I’ll wait for your good news.”
After leaving the restaurant, Florentino eagerly offered to take her home.
Sandria declined politely. “No need, Ashlan is waiting for me at home to discuss some things.”
At the mention of Ashlan, Florentino still felt a dull ache in his chest.
That kick at the banquet had landed right in his solar plexus, making him hurt for a long time.
“Then be careful on your way home.”
All the way, Sandria was pondering how to break out of this predicament.
Standing in front of the elevator, she was lost in her own world and didn’t notice someone approaching from behind.
“Back from your date?”

The sudden voice snapped Sandria out of her thoughts. She turned to look at the man behind her.
But the man was no longer as gentle as before. His cold, sharp eyes were like an unsheathed sword. “What is it? Who were you thinking about so intently?”
The barbed words left Sandria stunned for a moment.
Was Fulbert in a bad mood today?
“Mr. Ortega, who upset you today? Why are you speaking so sarcastically?”
“I ran into a heartless woman and got deceived.”
Sandria frowned. “Someone as clever as Mr. Ortega could be deceived?”
“Yes, what can I say? I guess I’m just too najve.”
Naive?
Sandria raised an eyebrow, recalling how he would blush every time she teased him, and began to ponder.
“Indeed, in some ways, Mr. Ortega is quite naive.”
Fulbert was at a loss for words and could no longer hold back, speaking coldly.
Did this woman not catch his hint?
“I saw you and Florentino at the restaurant at noon. Are you two rekindling your old flame?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Sandria frowned. Was she crazy? Why would she get involved with someone like that again?
“Florentino and I are history. I’m not the type to go back to my ex.”
With Sandria’s words, the frustration in Fulbert’s chest finally dissipated.
Fulbert’s face lit up. “Then why were you two together?”
But Sandria just shot him a glance.
“That’s my personal business. I hope Mr. Ortega won’t meddle.”
With a ding, the elevator arrived at their floor.
Sandria walked out first, but suddenly her wrist was grabbed.
She turned to find Fulbert had returned to his usual playful self.
“Ms. Schroeder, you and I are not only pretending to be a couple, but your studio is also working with Skyline Tech- nologies. If you act like this, you’ll only damage our partnership.”
“Is that so?”

Sandria forcefully pulled her hand back and rubbed her wrist, which had turned a little red from his grip.
“If Mr. Ortega minds, that’s fine. We can terminate the partnership at any time. I can afford any penalty.”
Hearing this.
A chill swept down Fulbert’s back.
Regaining his composure, he pinched the bridge of his nose and softened his attitude.
He had been too impulsive just now.
