Karen Daly had not come to work for months. She had also heard that PM Corporation had changed their chief designer, but the office she used to work in was still available for her.
The office still looked the same as the last time she worked there. Her personal belongings and stationery were all untouched.
The decorations and arrangement were not the only things that remained unchanged, there was also a bouquet of fresh red roses on the desk.
The red roses represented passionate love.
There was a card in the bouquet. The card said, "The most beautiful flowers, for the most beautiful you. Best wishes every day!"
The short message did not mention the sender, but Karen guessed that it must have been Kevin Kyle.
Passionate red roses?
Kevin would not say such cheesy words, but he might express his love for her in this way.
When they first got married, he had said that he didn't believe in love. Now he had even learned to send flowers to make her happy. Men were impulsive.
Karen thought that Kevin must have acted really fast. When she called him earlier, he had immediately rushed over here. She was surprised at how amazing his speed was as he could arrange for flowers to her office so quickly.
"Asteria, you're here." Hector Cheng suddenly appeared at the door of Karen's office. He was smiling.
"Director Cheng, I intended to look for you after I stopped by here." She was Hector's subordinate, but every time it was Hector who would come to see her instead. It always made her feel flattered but at the same time uneasy too.
"We are both working for PM, so we're colleagues and friends. It doesn't matter who's looking for whom." Hector stepped into the office, he looked around and finally stopped his gaze on Karen. "Your office has been kept this way for you. When you were not here, I have asked someone to clean it for you daily and send a bouquet of flowers here every day."
So, this meant that this bouquet of flowers was sent by Hector and not Kevin?
Karen suddenly felt disappointed, she had thought that Mr. Kyle had some romantic tricks up his sleeves, but she was once again wrong.
So, in the last few months, except for the two times when Mia was creating trouble, it was Hector who sent her all those flowers instead of Kevin?
Roses represented romantic love. If a boss frequently sent roses to his subordinates, it would cause a serious misunderstanding.
Karen smiled awkwardly and said, "Director Cheng, you are too kind to your employees."
Maybe, she had thought too much. Hector was just concerned about his subordinates, he didn't mean anything else.
Hector said sportingly, "As a leader, isn't it right to be good to your subordinates?"
Karen continued to smile awkwardly and said, "It's a blessing for everyone to have a leader like you in the company."
Hector didn't seem to notice Karen's awkwardness and continued to say, "Asteria, it's almost noon. Let's have lunch together and talk about the new work plans. What do you think?"
Karen smiled apologetically and said, "Director Cheng, my husband is waiting for me downstairs. I'm going to have lunch with him."
"Your husband?" Hector widened his eyes in surprise and said, "Sorry! Your work details stated your marital status as unmarried. I've always thought that you are single."
Back then, Karen had applied for the position of chief designer at PM Corporation using her identity as Asteria, a foreign fashion designer from Milan. Then, she had indicated her marital status as 'unmarried'.
