Retrieving a neatly wrapped gift box from her bag, she extended it to him with gratitude. “Mr. Hanson, I’m truly grateful for your assistance that day.
I’ve prepared a small token of appreciation for you, and I hope you like it.”
Initially, she believed the gift to be fitting for Edmund. However, in light of his evident wealth, she suddenly felt that it was a bit out of her reach.
Edmund didn’t mind it at all. He accepted it with pleasure and eagerly opened the gift box, revealing a man’s watch nestled inside.
“Is this to your liking?”
To Flossie’s surprise, Edmund strapped the timepiece to his wrist. Her eyes widened.
Edmund smiled with satisfaction. “You are incredibly thoughtful. This is truly the most considerate gift I’ve received.”
Overwhelmed, Flossie waved off his gratitude. “I’m just glad you appreciate it.”
She felt a surge of nervousness, her senses heightened.
After a brief moment of silence, she gathered her composure and asked, “Mr Hanson, what is the reason for your request to meet with me today?”

Edmund paused thoughtfully before addressing her concern. “When we last crossed paths at the clubhouse, I sensed you were troubled. I wanted to offer my assistance, if you’d allow.”

Flossie felt a sense of unease settle over her. She swallowed nervously, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered the courage to ask, “Mr. Hanson, why are you helping me? We only met once.”
Taking a sip of his coffee, Edmund regarded her intently and spoke slowly.

“Because you bear a striking resemblance to my daughter.”
Flossie was utterly stunned.
“But I haven’t heard from her in many years,” Edmund continued, his voice tinged with melancholy. “When I saw you that day, it brought back memories from the past, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of familiarity.”
Flossie was speechless, grappling with the weight of his revelation. After a while, she said honestly, “I have an unreasonable request, Mr. Hanson.
It’s not for my business, but for my boyfriend’s.”
Edmund frowned.
“My boyfriend used to be in business, but unfortunately, he faced failure.
He’s eager to make a comeback, but he’s struggling to find a partner.”
As Edmund recalled the man from that evening, a trace of vindictiveness flickered in his eyes. “Is he the individual I saw at the nightclub last time, the one with the disability?”
