Jimmy took a few steps forward and looked around with his sharp eyes. After making sure that no one was there, he came back and took her to the car. "I saw nobody here."
Ariah didn't dare to stay any longer, so she quickly followed him. "But I really heard footsteps just now."
"This is the parking lot. It's normal to hear footsteps."
"OK."
Apparently, she was terrified, as her hands were cold, and her little face was also pale.
At the moment, she was totally different from what she used to be.
She looked too weak in her current state.
With a chuckle, Jimmy scoffed, "Are you scared?"
Ariah covered her chest, "I'm afraid... of ghosts..."
That rendered him speechless.
Did she really think that there was a ghost chasing after her?
Ariah rested for a long while after getting into the car. As her body gradually warmed up, she covered her face when she recalled what had happened.
"It's so embarrassing."
Shrouded with silence in the car, she turned to look at the night scene outside the window.
They didn't utter a word until they returned home. Jimmy didn't take the initiative to talk to her as he guessed that she was still angry.
Upon parking the car, he went straight into the elevator. Ariah walked faster and stood beside him silently.
On the seventh floor, the elevator door opened, and he stepped out with long legs.
Ariah also went out. She had only taken two steps when Jimmy, who was walking in front of her, stopped in his tracks.
Confused, she looked up and saw someone standing in front of their unit. "Who are you?" she asked with a frown.
"Excuse me, are you the owner of this house?"
The man asked.
Instead of answering him, she asked, "What's the problem?"
"Um... Are you Miss Myers? Here are your flowers."
As he said so, he handed over a bunch of roses, which were very lovely.
Ariah was stunned, "l-lt's for me?" "If you are Miss Myers, then these flowers are for you."
Ariah looked at him with a wary expression, "Who are you? Why are you sending me flowers? I don't want them!"
How could she accept his flowers for no reason?
"Miss Myers, I'm just the person who sends you flowers. They were ordered by a gentleman in our shop."
What?!
Ariah was overwhelmed by surprise. "W- Who... was that?"
She hadn't received any roses from a man in her life.
"I'm sorry, Miss Myers. We can't reveal the privacy of the customer, so we can only send the flowers to you according to his instructions."
Words eluded her at the moment.
"Hello, are you alright?"
"Are they really for me?"
"Of course." The man then read her address, her phone number, and her name.
It was only then that Ariah believed that the flowers were really for her.
Such a large bouquet of roses! That was a huge surprise for her.
Excitement also blossomed within her.
She then opened the door with the flowers in her arms. After she entered the house, she realized that she had forgotten to change her shoes.
"Change your shoes first," said Jimmy coldly.
She coughed to conceal her awkwardness.
Instantly, she came to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. How could she forget that Jimmy was still outside?
