Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Tinsley looked directly at Timothy, her tone firm. "If you truly love someone, you think about what's best for them. You consider their feelings, their needs. But you, Mr. Labbe-this socalled romantic gesture isn't about me at all. You didn't stop to think about how it might affect me or the people around me. You know I have a tight schedule, yet you block my path with all these flowers, wasting my time. Tell me, Mr. Labbe, do you really love me when you do things like this? Is this really for my good?"

If Timothy had arranged everything in the open space beside the entrance, Tinsley wouldn't have said anything.

But instead, he chose to set up right at the company's front gate, bringing a whole crowd with him. The security guards couldn't even force them to leave. They knew who Timothy was, knew he was pursuing her.

They hesitated-worried that driving him away might create tension between the Labbe and Ormond families. And if she ever did accept Timothy in the future, they feared he might hold a grudge and cost them their jobs. Tinsley wouldn't blame them for their caution.

After a long pause, Timothy finally found an excuse for himself. "If I didn't do this, you wouldn't even stop. You'd just drive straight in, and I wouldn't get a chance to see you. Tinsley, it's not that I don't consider you-I just want to see you too much. I want to express how I feel. That's all this is about. I didn't mean to make you this upset." He offered a quick apology.
