“That’s…”
Feeling a little awkward, Luca covered his face with the bouquet and said, “The florist next to the pharmacy just opened, and they’re having a 30% discount. There was a whole crowd buying from them, and I felt a little left out if I didn’t. I mean, they’re so cheap…”
“Is that so…”
“Look…”
Luca handed the bouquet over and said, “Even if I bring it back with me, I have nowhere to put it. So, would you mind if I just leave it here?”
“…” Sam quickly realized Luca’s intentions and started blushing.
Her cheeks were redder than the roses.
Luca also felt a burning sensation on his face when he said the words.
Fortunately, Sam lowered her head and awkwardly accepted the bouquet.
“Thanks, Luca.”
Luca scratched his head in relief, feeling as though a giant burden had been lifted off his chest.
He was sure he had a girlfriend now.
He wouldn’t have to worry about getting shown up by Abel any longer!
Luca took out the burn ointment from his suit pocket and said softly, “Oh, here’s the burn ointment. Let me help you apply it.”
“Sure,” Sam sheepishly nodded and agreed.
After receiving Luca’s flowers, she instantly felt as though their dynamic had just undergone a mysterious change.
It was as though… there was a sense of belonging. It was a comforting and happy sensation.
Luca felt the same way.
He held up Sam’s hand, opened the cap on the ointment, and started carefully applying the medicine using a cotton swab.
As he applied the ointment, he gently blew on her hand.
Sam used this opportunity to take a closer look at Luca.
He had sharp facial features and was considerably handsome. He also gave off a reliable and energetic vibe.
She snagged herself a lucky find!
Sam couldn’t help smiling with delight.
Luca asked, “Are you no longer in pain? I see that you’re smiling.”
Sam blushed and said, “The medicine you bought is very effective. I feel much better already.”
Luca said, “That’s good. For the time being, try not to get it wet. That way, it’ll heal faster.”
“But I still need to make Ms. Louise and Mr. Abel their coffee.”
“Tell me the steps. I’ll do it.”
Sam said, “Sure, it’s actually very easy.”
“I’ve seen you do it plenty of times, so I vaguely remember how. I can handle it.”
