Andrew reminisced about a flower that he had once been particularly fond of. He looked at Abigail, his eyes shimmering with excitement. "Have you heard of Gabriel Rose?"
"Gabriel Rose? It's a type of shrub rose, right? The one that boasts a stunning coloration of white with delicate lavender tracing throughout the petals?" Abigail was a fashion designer, after all. Therefore, she possessed extensive knowledge about flowers and plants.
"Yes, that's the one. I really like it." Andrew had stumbled upon it online once and was captivated by its beauty. He yearned to see it in person.
Abigail nodded. "Although I haven't grown it before, I can try."
At this moment, Andrew's imagination ran wild. He started envisioning a yard adorned with blooming flowers. How great it would be if Abigail could reciprocate my feelings. That way, I can spend the rest of my life here without ever feeling bored.

When Sean woke up, he was slightly surprised by the speed at which Abigail had sent him the application.
After installing it, he opened the app and downloaded the underlying code. Then, he forwarded it to Xavien.
Xavien was an expert in computer science. He called Sean moments later to share his views.
"This app is flawless. We can use it without any issues. But I will make a few modifications. That way, even the app's creator won't be able to gain access." Xavien's voice brimmed with excitement. "This person is incredible. They can easily rank among the top three internationally."
Unfortunately, unintentional words carried meaningful implications for the attentive listener.
Like Xavien, Sean had no idea where Abigail had found such a talented individual. Still, although he was slightly concerned about it, he figured it wasn't appropriate for him to inquire.
"Can we recruit this person for our company?" Xavien asked Sean.
"Abby sent it to me. You can ask her if she can persuade her friend to join our company," Sean replied indifferently.
Since he had just woken up, his voice sounded hoarse. Upon sensing a subtle hint of jealousy in Sean's voice, Xavien dared not to probe further. At once, he changed the subject. "Let me make some changes first. Once I'm done, we can begin testing."
Sean hummed in response. He ended the call, ran his fingers through his hair, and got out of bed. Despite feeling jealous, he realized he needed not to be overly pessimistic, considering that Abigail had already arranged their meeting.
After freshening up, he responded to Abigail's message.
'I have received your message. The app is perfect. Please thank your friend on my behalf. If I have the chance to meet him, I'll treat him to a meal.'
'No need to treat him to a meal. I've already taken care of that. By the way, I'm free in three days. Will you be free during that time?'
As Sean read the message, the jealousy in his heart instantly dissipated.
'I'm free. I'll make arrangements right away.'
After completing my work for the day, I can fly to Perou in the evening.
Sean finalized his travel plans before heading to the company.
The day passed by quickly. In the afternoon, Sean returned to the Pearson Residence earlier than usual.
"I have asked Kevin about this. He confirmed that there is no professional team involved," Sean replied. Kevin was sure that it was the work of a single individual.
"It's not that surprising, though. There are many talented individuals like Abby's friend abroad, not to mention even more skilled individuals in the underground. We also have such experts in Eswadia. When we need them, they can quickly form a team," Sean said calmly.
