Connor also chuckled, his large hand patting Flora's small head affectionately, but when he turned to Chelsea, the smile and affection disappeared from his face.

"I've heard, Chelsea, that you have quite the opinion about my employees, and even my fiancée."

"No, that's not-"

Chelsea was terrified. In front of Connor, all her arrogance vanished.

"In that case, the partnership between your company and Stonnell International will end here."

Chelsea was shocked. She hadn't expected Connor to terminate their collaboration over such a trivial matter. "Mr. Connor, you must know that among all companies, ours can offer the most benefits to Stonnell International. And we were about to finalize everything. Terminating the partnership now would mean all our efforts have been in vain."

She tried to sound calm, but cold sweat was dripping down her back. If her father found out she had messed up the partnership, he would be furious.

Connor ignored her, tuming to Moss, "Moss, replace the contract and notify Mr. Gordrik that the agreement is hereby terminated." "Yes."

As Moss was about to follow Connor's instructions, Chelsea hurriedly stopped him. "Mr. Connor, I admit I made a mistake earlier I can apologize to you, but is it really necessary to go as far as terminating the contract?"

She couldn't understand. She had caused trouble at Stonnell International before, but Connor had always ignored her. Yet today, he was willing to terminate the contract

"You made my fiancée unhappy." Connor's voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard it clearly.

Because she upset his fiancée, he's terminating the contract. No matter how lucrative the contract was, it's not as important as his fiancée.

The employees were touched, witnessing a mature man's unconditional love.

Chelsea was so angry she pointed at Connor and Flora for a long time, unable to utter a single word

Moss couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Flora was Connor's world. Bullying Flora in Connor's company was asking for trouble.

Eventually, Chelsea staggered off, and as she left, she tripped and nearly fell, almost revealing too much.

Connor took Flora back to the office.

Flora served Connor chicken soup, which had been kept warm in a thermos. It was

eating.

Connor pulled Flora onto his lap, holding her wrist and examining the bandage on her hand. "Does it still hurt?"

"A bit, and sometimes it's a bit itchy."

"Don't scratch it."

"Okay"

Connor leaned over to open the cabinet under the desk, taking out a first aid kit and placing it on the table. He unwrapped Flora's bandage, disinfected the wound, applied medicine, and rebandaged it Despite Connor's self-control, he was, after all, a normal man. The girl's slender legs were pressed against his. Her pleated skirt had ridden up slightly, revealing her black shorts undemeath.

He sighed, adjusting her skirt properly. "I've told you before, you can't wear skirts this short anymore."

She was too young for him, and he didn't want to take advantage of her, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to restrain himself, "I know." Flora smiled, handing him the now-cooled chicken soup. "Drink up, a
