"Who sent it?" Liana asked as she walked towards me.
"I don't know," I mumbled, staring at the roses.
The young man looked unfamiliar to me. I did not even get the chance to ask him who sent the flowers to me. Max was also not in the pack.
"Based on how he was bowing to you, I believe it is from Alpha." Liana's words causedto pause. I turned to her and asked, "Do you really think so?" "Yeah." Everyone was aware of what Adrian had done to his girlfriend. Liana knew I was his ex-wife. So she assumed it could be Adrian.

I bent down and grabbed the card to read it.
"Don't throw it. I am the one whom you should throw, not the roses. Next time, when we meet, you can fight me. I will wait for that day." My fingers clenched the card as I shut my eyes.
'Adrian, what kind of nonsense is this? Do you think I will forgive you if you do these kinds of things?' I thought.
I handed the bouquet to Liana and said, "Give all of these roses to our customers today. I don't want it." Liana was stunned by my statement. The other employees were shocked. I looked away from them and focused on the work when I noticed scustomers entering the shop.
The entire day went well, as there were so many customers in the shop today. I made myself busy at work.
I gave others a phony smile. My mind kept going back to the bouquet whenever Liana pulled out one rose from it. It was a bouquet of more than twenty roses.
"We are leaving, Natalia." The employees were leaving the shop. I gave them a nod as I checked the bills for today. After the employees left, I locked the cash box.
As usual, I would have to close the shop at closing time.
When I was locking the gate of the shop, I noticed the sky was cloudy.
It brought back memories of getting wet in the rain with Max. I chuckled as I recalled how silly I could be at times.
I began to walk down the street while looking for a cab. A car cto a stop right besideat that moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI turned around and saw a man stepping out of the car.
I stepped aside as I looked at him.
"Adrian?" He appeared composed. But his eyes seemed to be desperate.
"Natalia, it is going to rain soon. Get in my car. My driver will drop you home." I glared at him and replied, "No, need. Why did you send that bouquet?" "Did you throw it?" he asked with an upset look.
"No, I gave it to the customers."
Adrian appeared to be dumbfounded.
But he regained his composure and said "I want to talk to you about something." "But I don't want to."
After saying that, I started walking ahead. I spotted a cab and quickly hailed it. The content is on e novelenglish.net!
I got inside the cab and was about to tell the driver to start it but someone tapped on the window glass. I turned to face Adrian, who was motioning forto open the window.
I rolled my eyes at him and said to the driver, "Start the car."
