In the past few days, Mr. M kept on communicating with Samantha as if he was courting her. They often talked at night, calling her until past midnight.

Samantha's impression of him changed since the night he rescued her against those street thugs.

Little did she know, those thugs were hired by Mr. M to scare Samantha so that he would come to her rescue. Viola! He became a hero and a knight in shining armor in Samantha's eyes.

It was part of Mr. M's scheme to be closer to her and gain her trust. He also got one important advantage after being close to her.

He could get information from Samantha about Renz's and Selene's wedding preparations. With this, he could closely monitor them. He already had a concrete plan of how Micaela would come into the picture, thus meeting Renz.

Though he wanted Micaela for himself, he had to use her as bait for Renz. This was the only way to stop the marriage between Selene Anderson and Renz Chuo.

Today, he was on his way to visit Samantha in her shop. He learned that this afternoon Selene and Renz would also drop by Samantha's shop to try on the wedding dress and suit that were designed personally by Samantha for the two.

Mr. M stopped at the flower shop first to buy flowers for Samantha. This was his way of wooing a woman like her. Mr. M could feel that Samantha was slowly falling for him.

Though he lacked EQ sometimes, Mr. M could tell if a woman was already interested in him. He just needed a little more push and Samantha would finally give in to his temptation.

Mr. M had a bad boy vibe and that was one of Samantha's weaknesses when it came to handsome men.

Hmm, Eros was the only exception. Though he didn't give off the bad boy vibe, she was still charmed by Eros's angelic look.

And as for Mr. M, he had to admit that he was also physically attracted to Samantha since she was also a stunning woman. She was also matured and older than Micaela.

But he also noticed that Samantha and Micaela had one thing in common~ they were both rude to him sometimes and they were the only ones who would try to talk back at him.

Mr. M liked to tame those kinds of fierce women. He was tired of those innocently pretentious women who were willing to open their legs for him just to be with him. Because he knew that those women just wanted his good looks and money.

"Sir, welcome to our shop! What flower are you looking for?" the flower shop owner asked Mr. M as soon as he entered the shop. He was greeted politely.

"Give me a bouquet of white roses," Mr. M promptly responded.

"Okay, sir. Just give me five minutes."

According to Scorpion, Samantha's favorite flower was a white rose. Mr. M already knew her background information including her likes and dislikes.

With those pieces of information, it would now be easy for Mr. M to win Samantha's heart. And once he was done playing with her, he would stop wasting his time on her.

By the time Samantha lost her usefulness and she became a threat to their plan then he would eliminate her.

After he was done buying flowers, he also stopped by the food stall to buy snacks, not only for Samantha but also for her staff and employees.

Samantha was in her office, preparing Selene's wedding gown. She was adding some lace and fixing the corset at the back when suddenly someone from behind grabbed her waist, turning her around.

Samantha's eyes widened in surprise upon seeing the gorgeous man in a black suit, holding a bouquet of white roses while smiling at her sweetly.

"Flowers for you," Mr. M said suavely with his deep voice.

Samantha was stupefied for several seconds before she could utter a single word. "Jack!"

She began calling Mr. M by the nickname Jack. She often called him Mr. Jackson but Mr. M complained to her, asking her to change the way she was addressing him.

"Surprise! Do you like it?" Mr. M handed the bouquet to her.

It took her a while to recover from her stupor. She just stood there eyeing Mr. M in disbelief. She didn't expect that Mr. M would be so romantic for giving her flowers.

'Eh? White roses? How does he know that I like white roses?'

"Hey, am I talking to the air? Why are you not responding to me?" Mr. M complained, pretending that he was upset.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just really shocked to see you here. You didn't inform me that you are coming."

Mr. M pinched her nose. "Silly girl. Of course, I would not tell you since I planned on giving you a surprise."

"Oh, thank you for the effort. I like them." Samantha finally accepted the bouquet, thanking Mr. M. "How did you know that I like white roses?"

"Hmm, well, I read one of your interviews," he lied.

Samantha smiled upon hearing that. She didn't expect that Mr. M would exert effort to know her likes and dislikes by watching her previous interviews. She had to admit that she was touched by Mr. M's sweet gesture.

"I also brought snacks for you and for your employee. Look at you, you got thinner. Are you not eating your meal on time?" Mr. M sounded like a nagging boyfriend.

Samantha could only bite her lips. Mr. M was right. She often forgot to eat a proper meal on time because she was busy making Selene's wedding dress.

She was always like this when she was creating a new design. She was putting in all her efforts. She wanted it to be perfect.

Mr. M glanced at the wedding dress. He bet this would be Selene's gown in her upcoming wedding.

"How is it?" Samantha asked Mr. M's opinion about her design.

"Hmm, it is so beautiful but..." he promptly responded.

Samantha frowned. "But what?" She looked at Mr. M worriedly.

Mr. M flashed his seductive smile and answered, "But the designer is more beautiful than the dress."

Samantha: "..." *Blushing*
