After breakfast, Roxanne played with Archie and Benny for a while before heading to her study.
While she was playing with her kids, Roxanne worried incessantly over another flower delivery the next day. She feared no amount of excuses would satisfy her children then.
Eventually, Roxanne decided she was left with no choice but to call Lucian.
Meanwhile, Lucian was working overtime at Farwell Group offices.
His office was swimming in bouquets after the past week. It clashed with his office's interior design.
With the addition of each new, rejected bouquet, the atmosphere in the office cooled further.
When Cayden came in apologetically with yet another bouquet, Lucian noticed that it had been removed from its original wrapping and arranged in a vase instead.
“Mr. Farwell, she sent the flowers back. Again.” Cayden spoke softly, his entire body taut with tension as he sensed the dour atmosphere.
Lucian glanced coldly at Cayden, his gaze darkening at a frightening pace.
Cayden quietly placed the flowers in a corner and left the office. He moved as quietly as he could, fearing the wrath of his boss if he made even the slightest noise.
Soon enough, Lucian was left alone in the office.
Staring at the sea of flowers in his office, he slowly approached them.
Over the past week, he had followed Jonathan's advice to the book, sending bouquet after bouquet despite Roxanne's repeated rejection.
Alas, Roxanne had not been moved by his actions as Jonathan had promised.
What went wrong?
Sometime later, Lucian retracted his gaze frustratedly and strode toward his desk. He grabbed his phone, planning to interrogate Jonathan about the wisdom of his plan.
Suddenly, his phone screen lit up with an incoming call as his hands closed over the device.
