Given a fright, Cayden was briefly stunned before he made a random excuse. “I was thinking if we should do something about the flowers because they‘ll quickly dry out if we leave them be.”
Giving the flowers a frustrated look, Lucian replied a few seconds later, “Do as you will.” Breathing a sigh of relief, Cayden concurred, “In that case, I‘ll put them in a vase later.”
Lucian gave him a tacit nod before motioning him to continue with the reports. This time, Cayden got a grip on himself and managed to concentrate.
Once he was done reporting, Cayden gave Lucian a wary look and asked, “Shall I go get a vase now, Mr. Farwell?”
However, Lucian didn‘t reply as he was already engrossed in work.
Having worked for Lucian for many years, Cayden was naturally aware that silence meant the former giving his implicit approval.
As a result, Cayden went off to fill a vase with water before silently treading back into the office and putting the roses in it.
While doing so, he caught a glimpse of the card that was placed among the flowers.
The sight of it filled Cayden with a sense of sorrow.
The way he saw it, Lucian was serious about Roxanne, as he had never seen the former do something like that before.
Unfortunately, the first flowers that Lucian had sent in his life ended up being rejected, causing Cayden to wonder what was going through Roxanne‘s mind.
Before he could recover from the shock of it all, the company received another bouquet of flowers that Lucian had to personally receive.
Coincidentally, Cayden had returned from lunch just like the day before.
At that moment, everyone in the lobby gawked at him, while the receptionist gave him a helpless look.
Evidently, they were waiting for him to deal with the sensitive matter.
Upon recalling the scowl on Lucian‘s face when he brought the flowers in the day
before, Cayden felt a sudden chill down his spine.
Turning his thoughts to the one who returned the flowers, Cayden was just overwhelmed with frustration.
Regardless of whether he accepted the flowers or not, Lucian would definitely end up being angry.
“Mr. Lawson…” the receptionist pleaded.
Left without a choice, Cayden walked up to her in resignation. “Give them to me.”
A short while later, Cayden strode into the elevator with a sense of dread.
The moment Cayden walked away, the entire lobby burst into an uproar.
“Are the flowers meant for Mr. Farwell? Who was it that sent the flowers? I can‘t believe Mr. Lawson actually accepted them!”
“Is there even a need to ask? The only one who qualifies for such treatment is Ms. Pearson. After all, she‘s Mr. Farwell‘s fiancée!”
“Given how aloof Ms. Pearson always looks, I didn‘t expect her to be someone passionate enough to send Mr. Farwell flowers every day.”
Oblivious to the fact that the flowers were returned and under the impression someone had sent them to Lucian, everyone began to gossip about the sender,
In the meantime, Cayden was standing in Lucian‘s office with the flowers in his hands, feeling on edge. “Mr. Farwell, this is…”
The instant the words rolled off his tongue, Cayden could feel the sudden tension in the air.
Evidently, Lucian had guessed what he was going to say next.
The change in mood caused Cayden to wonder if he should even continue.
Much to his relief, Lucian‘s voice rang out in the end. “Just deal with it as you see fit.”
With that, Cayden grunted in immediate acknowledgment before heading off to find another vase.
As Lucian stared at the new bouquet in his office, his gaze darkened.
Even though he was aware that Roxanne might reject the flowers, he didn‘t expect it to be done so quickly.
