Fragrance soothed Kai's mind.
He'd been skeptical of the flowers at first—but after taking in their fragrance and seeing how lovely they looked, he was quietly glad he'd followed the receptionist's advice. Bree was still angry with him, but surely a gift like this would soften her mood, even if only a little.
In fact, he wanted to go to her room and give it to her right now.
But he refrained from doing so.
As excited as he was, the flower wasn't for his own satisfaction.
It was for her.
"Some of the flowers are dented," Kai muttered—seeing a few flowers on the right side of the bucket had their petals dented. But it doesn't really matter. Only those who looked at it closely would notice. "Carrying two buckets of flowers like these—must be awkward for Talitha. I'll have to thank her properly."
Just then, his fingers grazed something warm.
It was liquid on the bucket's base.
Kai raised the bucket to take a look at what it was and froze almost completely.
