Tracey smiled and put her finger on the silver petal. With a gentle press, the box opened. Two people were stunned.
There were nine black roses inside. Adam used to buy Tracey flowers, but he only bought red roses, he had never bought her black roses.
The container was a gray box, which gave the gift a fancy look. It didn't convey any romance, but full of mystery.
"It's black roses." Stella didn't know that couples would buy black roses for each other, in her experiences, red roses were more proper.
A shining gem was put on the rose in the middle. Tracey picked it up and found it was a ruby.
"Tracey, isn't it the one auctioned last night? I remembered it was a man who battled for it with you. He returned it to you! Do you know him?"
Stella asked while covering her mouth. She was surprised that the ruby worth fifteen million dollars was simply placed in the flower box and delivered to Tracey like this.
She often watched the soap opera. Men would buy women expensive gifts such as this gem. But Stelle didn't take it seriously as she had never seen it happened in reality.
However, at the moment when she saw the flower box, black roses, and the ruby, she understood that imagination was originated from reality.
"I don't know him. Who sent it?" Tracey quickly be calm after a short surprise.
"It was sent by a guy of the flower store. I signed it for you." Stella thought it was a normal gift from Adam, she didn’t know it contained a ruby.
There was also a white card put aside. Words were written in black ink.
"You are a devil, and you belong to me."
Tracey closed the box expressionlessly and threw the flower into the bin.
The cultivation of the black roses was complicated, and it had only a ten- day harvest period. Ignoring the ruby, the box and roses alone were very costly.
As an ordinary girl, Stella was painful to see such fancy things were simply dumped.
"Tracey, I can call that flower store to see who ordered this flower for you.” Seeing Tracey was a little angry, Stella regretted she didn’t carefully check out the source of the gift.
But the box was covered. Even if Stella wanted to find out the source, she couldn’t open it randomly.
"No need, even if you asked them, they would keep customer' s information confidential." For the company, it was a common rule.
No information of the gift sender, nor signature on the card. Obviously, the sender didn't want to expose his/her identity.
"Oh, I can contact the auction center for his information." Stella said when her eyes lit up.
"The auction center could keep him secret too if he requested." Tracey said. Stella's idea was rejected again.
"Umm... What should we do? Maybe, this man is just a chaser of you. He knew that you want this ruby, and he deliberately buys it for you. It isn't a bad thing, is it?”
Even though the gift sender was rich, it was not appropriate to randomly give others a 15-million-dollarruby as a gift. Stella knew Tracey, she wouldn't be happy to receive it.
"Leave it alone, Stella, I'll take care of it. If anyone came with gifts for me in the future, bring him/her to my office." Tracey said with slight tiredness. Stella nodded.
