Chapter 169


    “Mm.” Abel nodded. “How much for a flower?”


    The young man could tell the stern-looking man had no experience giving flowers.


    “If you n to give flowers to your girlfriend, your best choice is the rose. That’s the symbol of love, of


    course.”


    “Mm. Give me a rose then.”


    “You can’t just buy one rose either. You should pair it with something else. Usually, it’s baby’s breath.”


    “Give me that too.”


    “To round it up, I’d rmend two lilies too.”


    “Mm. Sounds good,” Abel said. “By


    the way, I want more roses.”


    “How many? 19? That means ‘eternal love.”


    “That’s not enough. I’m paying for it anyway, so give me more,” Abel said.


    “How about 48? It means ‘My love for you never changes.”


    Abel shook his head again. 48 is such a mediocre number.


    “How about 99 roses? That’ll show your girlfriend how much you love her!”

    “Yeah, 99 roses it is.”


    The young man wondered if Abel could hold the big bouquet in his hands, but that was not his job to


    worry about. His job was to sell flowers.


    The young man picked out fresh roses from a bucket and started to arrange the bouquet. It took him


    some time to arrange the 99 roses, baby’s breath, and lilies wrapped up in craft paper.


    It was indeed a heavy bunch.


    Abel was satisfied with it. After he paid for the bouquet, he brought it back to the car.


    The driver and Luca exchanged nces but did not say anything.


    Earlier, while Abel was away, they were talking about how their employer had finally seen the light.


    Flowers were a good way to make a woman fall in love with a man, but that was a very big bouquet!


    Abel brought the bouquet back to the café


    Before he opened the front door, he saw that only Sam was on the first floor. Emmeline was not there.


    He lifted the bouquet slightly higher and covered his face.


    He was a shrewd and experienced businessman, but it was his first time giving a woman flowers.


    Moreover, he had an arrogant personality. He was embarrassed to be in that position.


    Sam noticed a man holding a big


    bouquet of flowersing through the door.


    The bouquet covered the man’s face, and Sam did not know who it


    was.


    However, judging from the man’s suit, Sam thought it was Abel.


    “Mr. Ryker? Is that you?” Sam asked.


    She stretched her neck to see if she could see the man’s face.


    “Mm,” Abel replied and brought the bouquet closer to his face.


    He was blushing intensely.


    After Sam confirmed that the man was Abel, she tried her best not tough as she asked, “Wow! Who


    are those flowers for? They’re really pretty!”
