Amelia pulled Lily in for a long hug and pat her back. "It's ok, don't cry. I know that this feels difficult now, but it will be easier as time goes on. Not every man deserves your heart, just remember that, ok?"
"But Mrs. Amelia, I really do love him..." Tears started to stream down Lily's face and her body convulsed from the sobbing.
Amelia understood this type of situation. She sighed and thought of how to comfort Lily. "You're not in a frame of mind to make a decision on this, first you need to calm down. When you have a steady head, then you will be ready to make a decision."
"Okay," As Lily sniffed trying to stop the flow of tears, she asked, "Mrs. Amelia, are you going to go to the flower shop today? You can go back to work now and I can take care of young master. I need to take my mind off of this."
Lily was also not in a frame of mind to take care of a baby at the moment. She had dark circles under her eyes and looked frail. Amelia was concerned about her. "Lily, get some rest. I'll take care of Mark," she said.
"Mrs. Amelia, I'm fine, really! Please go to the shop. It's just been opened, and it's important for you to be there for your customers. This could damage the reputation if it's randomly closed like this." To reassure Amelia, Lily shook her head immediately. "Please understand, the young master is my biggest source of joy. A smile on his face is the best reward I can get," Lily said.
"All right. But once Mark falls asleep, I want you to take a rest too," Amelia agreed reluctantly. Before leaving, Amelia patted Lily's shoulder again. "If you ever need anything, just tell me. You are not only a helper at SJ Garden, but you're like my sister."
In her heart, Lily was
eek.
When Amelia remembered this day in her past, she became excited at the thought of doing it again. Whether or not the leaflets were refused or tossed into the trash can after a quick glance, she distributed them with a smile.
"Look! Isn't that the wife of the Zhan Group's CEO, Amelia Mo? Why would she hand out leaflets on the street?"
"Yeah, I wonder if it's some type of prank. Let's go and have a look!"
A couple of girls spotted Amelia, and spent several minutes staring at her from the other side of the street. Once they recognized her, they approached her slowly with curiosity to confirm.
"Hello." Amelia noticed that two, well-dressed girls wearing French-style red berets were looking at her in a strange way. She greeted them with a smile on her face, like she did to everyone else, and handed over the leaflets.
The two girls took over the leaflets, but they still stared at her. Like she was some type of exotic caged bird.
"Are you the owner of this flower shop?" One of the girls pointed at the leaflets and asked Amelia, in awe.
"Yes, the flower shop is just in front here." Amelia pointed to the location of the flower shop. She thought that the two girls were going to buy flowers, by the way they were looking at her.
"Aren't you Amelia Mo?" one girl asked with a strong vocal fry in her voice.
Amelia's face blushed, she felt like she would rather them not know who she was. She wanted to deny it. But she couldn't lie, so she simply nodded to confirm their suspicions.
"Oh my god! It's true!" The girls in front of her were star-struck. They started to jump up and down and they hugged each other tightly.
Amelia just smiled politely, she hoped that nobody else heard.
