“From today onward, send the freshest flowers you have to that address every day. As to what kind of flowers, you have the liberty to decide,” Lucian barked out his instructions.
Since he had already been recognized, there was no need for him to hide his influence.
Having heard his words, the florist felt a sense of relief that quickly turned into delight.
Even though the flowers were returned, Mr. Farwell didn‘t blame us for it. Instead, he has ordered more flowers from us! Does this mean that he‘s happy with the flowers from our shop?
Holding that thought, the elated florist quickly nodded. “All right! We will make sure to send her the best flowers every day!”
After nodding in acknowledgment, Lucian scanned the QR code to pay.
“Um, Mr. Farwell…” When a sudden thought dawned upon the florist, she raised her gaze to look at Lucian with a fearful expression. “What should we do if the flowers are returned again?”
She had barely finished when a sudden chill filled the air.
Lucian‘s expression subsequently darkened, as he had almost forgotten about the possibility of Roxanne turning the flowers down again.
If she continues to be stubborn…
“Just do as she says,” Lucian responded after giving it some thought.
Upon acknowledging the instructions, the florist lamented to herself.
I wonder who this lady is to have Mr. Farwell shower so much attention on her. It‘s one thing for him to send flowers daily but another to not mind having them rejected.
“In that case,” the florist tactfully said, “do you want to add a card inside? If you do, do you want to write them yourself, or do you want us to do it for you?”
If Lucian writes them personally, wouldn‘t I be able to see this divine–looking man every day?
Lucian‘s brows knitted slightly. “No, I don‘t.”
Roxanne didn‘t notice the card the last time. Besides, I have no idea what to write, and after what happened yesterday, I‘m sure she‘ll know the flowers are from me.
With her hopes dashed, the florist nodded in disappointment. “All right.”
Checking the time, Lucian didn‘t stay a second longer and quickly left.
Back at the company, Cayden was already waiting for Lucian outside the latter‘s office.
Upon seeing Lucian stepping out of the elevator, he welcomed his boss and reported the day‘s itinerary.
Both of them talked as they strode into Lucian‘s office.
The moment they stepped in, the flaming red roses left on the couch yesterday came into Cayden‘s view. From then on, Cayden‘s attention began to drift.
“What are you thinking about?” Lucian questioned with a frown after noticing the distracted look on Cayden‘s face.
Given a fright, Cayden was briefly stunned before he made a random excuse. “I was thinking if we should do something about the flowers because they‘ll quickly dry out if we leave them be.”
Giving the flowers a frustrated look, Lucian replied a few seconds later, “Do as you will.” Breathing a sigh of relief, Cayden concurred, “In that case, I‘ll put them in a vase later.”
Lucian gave him a tacit nod before motioning him to continue with the reports. This time, Cayden got a grip on himself and managed to concentrate.
Once he was done reporting, Cayden gave Lucian a wary look and asked, “Shall I go get a vase now, Mr. Farwell?”
However, Lucian didn‘t reply as he was already engrossed in work.
Having worked for Lucian for many years, Cayden was naturally aware that silence meant the former giving his implicit approval.
As a result, Cayden went off to fill a vase with water before silently treading back into the office and putting the roses in it.
While doing so, he caught a glimpse of the card that was placed among the flowers.
The sight of it filled Cayden with a sense of sorrow.
The way he saw it, Lucian was serious about Roxanne, as he had never seen the former do something like that before.
Unfortunately, the first flowers that Lucian had sent in his life ended up being rejected, causing Cayden to wonder what was going through Roxanne‘s mind.
Before he could recover from the shock of it all, the company received another bouquet of flowers that Lucian had to personally receive.
Coincidentally, Cayden had returned from lunch just like the day before.
At that moment, everyone in the lobby gawked at him, while the receptionist gave him a helpless look.
Evidently, they were waiting for him to deal with the sensitive matter.
Upon recalling the scowl on Lucian‘s face when he brought the flowers in the day
before, Cayden felt a sudden chill down his spine.
Turning his thoughts to the one who returned the flowers, Cayden was just overwhelmed with frustration.
Regardless of whether he accepted the flowers or not, Lucian would definitely end up being angry.
“Mr. Lawson…” the receptionist pleaded.
Left without a choice, Cayden walked up to her in resignation. “Give them to me.”
A short while later, Cayden strode into the elevator with a sense of dread.
The moment Cayden walked away, the entire lobby burst into an uproar.
“Are the flowers meant for Mr. Farwell? Who was it that sent the flowers? I can‘t believe Mr. Lawson actually accepted them!”
“Is there even a need to ask? The only one who qualifies for such treatment is Ms. Pearson. After all, she‘s Mr. Farwell‘s fiancée!”
“Given how aloof Ms. Pearson always looks, I didn‘t expect her to be someone passionate enough to send Mr. Farwell flowers every day.”
Oblivious to the fact that the flowers were returned and under the impression someone had sent them to Lucian, everyone began to gossip about the sender,
In the meantime, Cayden was standing in Lucian‘s office with the flowers in his hands, feeling on edge. “Mr. Farwell, this is…”
The instant the words rolled off his tongue, Cayden could feel the sudden tension in the air.
Evidently, Lucian had guessed what he was going to say next.
The change in mood caused Cayden to wonder if he should even continue.
Much to his relief, Lucian‘s voice rang out in the end. “Just deal with it as you see fit.”
With that, Cayden grunted in immediate acknowledgment before heading off to find another vase.
As Lucian stared at the new bouquet in his office, his gaze darkened.
Even though he was aware that Roxanne might reject the flowers, he didn‘t expect it to be done so quickly.
