Love Knows No Bounds novel (Kendall and Dylan) novel Chapter 277

"Mr. Heller, I woke up early this morning and made breakfast for you. Do you want to try it?"

As she was saying that, Emma handed the lunchbox to Toddy. Watching her pretty eyes which were sparkling in merriness, he thought it would be cruel to reject her.

Therefore, he didn't reject her on the spot, but also didn't take the lunchbox from her as he answered calmly, "I need to drive."

She smiled at that. "I'll drive. You can have your breakfast in the passenger seat."

"Did you have your breakfast?"

"I did."

Did she specially make breakfast for me even though she had hers?

Afraid of getting into an awkward situation by being frank, Toddy kept the thought to himself.

"Mr. Heller?" Emma was waiting for his answer.

"Alright." In the end, he decided to accept her offer.

He wasn't pleased that she didn't prepare breakfast for him like usual yesterday.

That day, she did make breakfast for him, but Matthew got lucky and had it.

If Matthew could know what Toddy was thinking, the former would surely feel wronged and exclaim, "I'm merely helping you to eat them instead of letting them go wasted! How could you think so lowly of me!"

They exchanged seats before getting on the road. Emma was the driver while Toddy was having breakfast next to her in the passenger seat.

"It's not convenient to get breakfast when we're moving, so I packed these for you," she explained while having her eyes on the road.

He didn't bother to reply. As long as you are the one who makes them, I'll eat all of them.

However, Toddy wasn't going to tell her that even though he appreciated the food.

He didn't want to give her any hope and continue to pester him.

"Why did Dylan call you too?" Please don't tell me he's doing this for me, Toddy grumbled to himself.

Thinking that he wasn't able to urge her to get down from the car, Emma decided to tell him the truth. "President Coleman told me that Miss Kendall doesn't have many friends. He asked me to go along to offer her companionship, so she won't be lonely."

President Coleman is spoiling Miss Kendall!

Toddy stopped for a beat before muttering, "I shouldn't have asked. Now I'm envious."

Emma chuckled. "Me too. Even though President Coleman has a cold exterior, he's still sensitive and considerate of Miss Kendall."

Too bad he's handicapped. Besides, I hope everything about a certain ability of his is all rumors.

When Toddy noticed Emma was wearing a dress, he asked without a second thought, "We're heading to the horse farm. You can't ride a horse wearing a dress."

She gave him another honest answer. "I don't know how to ride horses. Besides, I don't need to ride one, because I'm there to accompany Miss Kendall. I feel more comfortable in the dress."

Toddy let her reply slip without answering her. I'm good at horse riding, so I can teach you if you're interested.

Once again, he didn't speak his mind. After all, he wasn't interested in developing a relationship with her.

At that moment, Emma's cell phone rang and broke the silence.

She had left her handbag on the passenger seat, where Toddy was sitting right now.

"Mr. Heller, can you help me to answer the call?" She asked for his help as she needed to focus on the road.

Finding her cell phone in the bag, he took it out and saw a bunch of numbers on the phone screen instead of a caller ID. "It's an unknown number."

"Answer it. I wonder who it is."

After a moment of hesitation, he picked up the call.

"Hello, may I speak to Miss Finley?"

"She's driving and can't come to the phone right now. May I know who you are?"

"Good morning, we're calling from Florina Florist. A customer has ordered a rose bouquet from us for Miss Finley. We've sent the flower to her place, may I know where we should leave the flowers?"

Toddy immediately turned upset with the statements as Emma had become quite the topic of discussion among the company when she received two bouquets of roses yesterday. He didn't expect her to receive more of them the following day.

What kind of b*stard is the guy if he's pursuing Emma but doesn't dare reveal his identity? Is he being sincere? If so, why did he ask the workers from the flower shop to send Emma the flowers instead of doing it by himself?

"Tell them to leave the flowers in the guardhouse and ask the security guard to sign as proof of delivery. I'll get the flowers once I get home." He repeated her words to the caller.

The worker asked again, "Does the same apply to the flowers we're sending this evening?"

Toddy was taken aback. "There's more?"

"Yes, the customer ordered two bouquets with nine hundred and ninety-nine roses each and every day. We send each of them to Miss Finley in the morning and evening respectively."

"Yes, leaving them in the guard house will be alright," Emma replied as she continued driving.

The staff ended the call once she received Emma's permission.

Shoving the cell phone back into her handbag, Toddy pretended to be fine as he continued to enjoy the toast she made especially for him.

"Miss Finley?"

"Mr. Heller, you can be frank with me." She cast him a glance before shifting her attention back to the road.

A faint smile plastered on her face as she drove, but it stung Toddy's heart badly.

He had always known Emma was a pretty woman. Judging from the aspect of their appearance, he thought both of them would be compatible.

On usual days, he wouldn't think Emma was prettier with her smiles. However, he was surprised to find he had been neglecting many of her positive traits all the time. He was seeing her new sides when she was having a stunning smile on her face as she knew she would be receiving flowers.

"Miss Finley, do you have any idea who your pursuer is?"

"I don't," she answered honestly. "I know many men from my work. There are many candidates too. I can't tell who's sending me the flowers every day."

Being Dylan's secretary granted Emma the perks to meet other men at work. Many of them did show interest in pursuing her.

However, she only had her eyes on Toddy and was too stubborn to give up on him. She was falling deeper for him day by day and tried hard to get on his good side, but he never reciprocated. Even though her efforts might not bear fruit, she would try a few more times until then.

Knowing Emma was popular in the business world, Toddy reminded, "Some of them might not be sincere with their actions. You need to know if they are interested in you or your job as Dylan's secretary. Be alert and keep watch. Don't let anyone take advantage of you."

A serious expression emerged on her face as she promised, "Mr. Heller, you don't have to worry. I won't fall for the handsome guys and lose myself."

She spoke her next words sheepishly as she turned to him. "I'll make an exception for you, though. I know you won't betray President Coleman, so I don't need to be cautious around you."

As soon as Toddy's eyes met hers, he turned his glance to the scenery outside as if he was burnt by them.

He began again after a while, "I can tell that the man that sent you flowers is not sincere. You need to find him as soon as possible and reject his attempts."

"He doesn't dare send you the flowers by himself. He's less serious about the relationship if he asked the flower shop to help him. A man who likes you from the bottom of his heart will wait for you with flowers at the entrance every day. Besides, he will always find an opportunity to treat you to dinner, invite you for an outing, or pamper you with presents."

Emma pondered for a moment before she commented, "Maybe he's trying to be mysterious. I must say he has succeeded in catching my attention. Truth be told, I would like to know him. Not only is he sending me flowers every day, he's also sending me a lot of them! He must be a romantic guy."

Toddy wasn't pleased to see her dreamy expression, so he reminded her with a twinge of jealousy, "Emma, you're driving! Don't lose focus! Keep your eyes on the road!"
