Drowning In His Deep Love (Re-edited)

Chapter 50 The List

Chapter 50 The List

On the list which was announced, there were two names: Florence Scott and Katherine Preston.

Florence was selected. This was what everyone expected. But the name Katherine made everyone confused.

Evelyn asked, "Florence, is there anyone named Katherine Preston in our company? In which department? How come I don't know?"

That was right. The other person who was selected was someone they didn't know or even meet.

She was not the employee in the company, but she was selected by the Logan Group headquarters as one of the staff in the company.

Of course it would make them subconsciously doubt who Katherine was.

Florence shook her head. She didn't even know or even heard of this name either.

Suddenly she remembered what Danica had said to her before. She said that one of the quotas had been designated. Could it be Katherine? RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Looking at the name "Katherine", Florence felt a little upset in her chest and felt very uncomfortable.

From tomorrow on, Florence wouldn't need to work here, and what she needed to do today was to complete the handover.

It was a place that she had worked for a few years. She felt a bit sad before she left.

"Florence, don't forget me. When you get to the headquarters, you have to miss me." Evelyn hugged Florence and didn't want her to go.

"Okay." Florence smiled, "If there is something good, I will definitely not forget you."

"You are truly my friend." Evelyn smiled, "Let's go and celebrate tonight."

Florence was about to speak when the phone rang suddenly.

It's a message on Facebook.

It was sent by Alexander. He asked her to meet him at Rose Restaurant at 8 tonight.

What should come would always come.

Florence hesitated and replied, "Alright!"

"What's wrong? Your boyfriend?" Evelyn asked.

"Yes." Florence nodded, smiled and apologized, "He invited me to have a dinner tonight."

Evelyn sighed and said jokingly, "I really envy you. You've got such a successful life with gains both in love and business. It does make me envious."

"You are going to get a boyfriend soon." Florence said with a smile, "That's all about the handover. I gotta go."

Florence felt that she and Alexander should meet and have a good talk.

Keep avoiding him was not a solution.

Better a little loss than a long sorrow. A breakup was no big deal.

As soon as Florence left the company, Courtney came but she didn't see Florence.

Florence went back to the her apartment first and changed her clothes. And then she put on some light makeup, and made enough mental preparations before going to the Rose Restaurant.

The night fell...

The lights were dazzling.

When Florence arrived, Alexander had already arrived.

There were few guests in the restaurant today. Alexander booked a booth next to the window with a good view. The night view of Croycor could be seen.

Alexander pulled out the chair for Florence gently and said, "You must be hungry. Let's order some food first."

"I'm not really hungry. There is no hurry."

Florence smiled and looked at Alexander in front of her. To be honest, she really couldn't find out Alexander's shortcoming, especially his appearance, which was one in a million.

With this face, if she really had words with him, her anger might disappear when she looked at such a handsome and good-looking face.

Before Florence came, she had thought about a lot of opening remarks, but she finally chose a straightforward and simple one.

"Alexander, let's break up."

Florence eyed on Alexander with a calm and serious expression. It was not like a joke.

For relationships, Florence had always been decisive.

She could make a clean break with Thomas, and she could also break up gracefully with Alexander.

She may be sad and regretful, but now she knew exactly what she was doing.

In the relationship, she felt herself inferior. How could she make the unequal relationship continue?

It was better for her to cut the relationship and solve it quickly.

Alexander's expression was showing that he might hear it wrong. He was dumped?

He had realized that there was something wrong with Florence's emotions last night, but he was still shocked when he heard the words "break up" from Florence.

If someone knew that the person in charge of Logan family was dumped by a girl, it was simply a colossal joke that no one would believe it.

However, this was the fact.

After a brief surprise, Alexander quickly hid his feelings and narrowed his eyes, "Why."

Anyone who was dumped for no reason would ask why.

Florence had prepared her reasons. She did not intend to hide from him and make up any excuse. Instead, she said bluntly, "Did you read today's news saying that someone made trouble at the introduction banquet last night and spread the rumors that I had a child out of wedlock? Actually, this is not a rumor. I did have a baby five years ago."

After speaking without a stop, Florence felt relieved, and felt it was not as difficult as she thought.

Although Alexander had doubted about that, it was still unbearable and stunning for him to hear Florence admit it.

Before Florence said anything, he had thought no matter what reason Florence gave, he would retort. He wouldn't agree to break up with her. But she had a child out of wedlock, and he could not find any excuse to retort.

Florence had given birth to a child, and she deceived him from the very beginning.

The blood on the seat which represented that was her first time to have sex was fake.

There was anger faintly shown on Alexander's face.

Florence secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to be relaxed and said, "I admit that I lied to you at the beginning, but I just tried to date with you and I didn't have a long-term plan for our relationship, nor did I think about getting married. After dating with you for a period of time, I don't think we fit each other. So, let's break up."

It was Florence who started the relationship with him.

And it was Florence who mention a breakup with him.

Alexander looked gloomy. His hands clenched into a fist as he was trying his best to restrain his emotions.

Florence had said so clearly. What else could he say?

Florence tried her best to force a smile. It was the first time she had seen Alexander's face look so gloomy.

"Alexander, I know that I owe you, but we can't force anyone in a relationship. Today's meal will be paid by me as the last meal before the breakup. Merry meet, merry part. Dinner is on me."

Florence took out the gift which was a token of love sent by Alexander before, and the bracelet given by Courtney. She returned both of them to Alexander. "I hope you can meet the right person."

Florence’s calmness made Alexander even angrier.

Merry meet, merry part.

Alexander stood up suddenly, stared at Florence with glowing eyes and said, "No, I didn't suffer any loss. We don't owe each other."

Florence understood what he meant. They had slept together twice, so Alexander did not suffer any loss.

"So, you agree to break up?"

"Merry meet, merry part."

He was the head of the Logan family. It was already so embarrassing to be dumped, and it was not his style to act shamelessly.

The words "merry meet, merry part" were said through Alexander's gritted teeth.

Florence twitched the corners of her mouth stiffly. Without having the meal, they parted in discord.

Florence sat alone in the booth for a while before she left.

William soon knew that they broke up.

He was shocked when he learned that Florence was the one who mentioned a break up with Alexander.

Oh, god!

Alexander was dumped?

Alexander, the person in charge of the Logan family, was dumped?

It took a long time for William to recover from his surprise. He glanced at Alexander who was drinking and trying to get himself drunk.

"Boss, you really broke up with Ms. Scott? Why?"

This was too sudden.

Alexander was so good that he shouldn't be dumped.

Of course Alexander couldn't tell that Florence had a child out of wedlock, nor could he tell that Florence never took this relationship seriously from beginning to end.

Having a child out of wedlock. Lying to him. Alexander was furious. But compared to Florence's attitude towards the relationship with him, he felt even angrier with the latter.

Alexander drank one cup after another, and he looked so awful as if he was keeping everyone away from him.

"Boss, is it because Ms. Scott became the goddaughter of the Cooper family and thus she looked down on you, an Uber driver? How about you tell Ms. Scott that you are the person in charge of the Logan family? She might immediately change her mind."

Alexander glanced at William coldly.

William sensed it and said, "Boss, drink! I'll drink with you. Let's get hammered!"

He couldn't afford to offend a man who just broke up.

They were getting along so well. How come they broke up suddenly?

William was stunned, so was Courtney.

But Alexander gave out an order that no one could go to see Florence.

Alexander needed to save his dignity.

Since the last time they met in the Rose Restaurant, Florence and Alexander never saw each other again.

And when she got news about Alexander, it was already a week later.

And it was bad news.
