Chapter 1422
“For me?” Madeline took the gift confusedly and realized that there was a note on it.
On the note wrote: [I was in a rush and didn’t have time to find you a better meeting gift. I hope you’ll like this.] It was signed by Shirley.
Was this a meeting gift from Shirley?
Madeline was surprised. “Do you have Shirley’s contact information, Jeremy? I’d like to thank her.”
“No,” Jeremy replied curtly, “Let’s go, Linnie. We can leave this at the front desk.”
“Wouldn’t it be impolite to just do that when someone has given me a gift?” Madeline gave it some thought and finally decided to bring it back to the room.
Jeremy did not say much and returned to the room with Madeline.
On the way back, Madeline opened the box to find an aromatherapy kit inside.
The bottle’s shape was unusual as it was in the shape of a snake.
Madeline herself was sensitive to scents and coupled with her profession as a perfumer, she gave it an intrigued sniff.
However, except for a few usual aromatizers, she noticed a few scents that she had never smelled before.
“Let’s put it down and go, Linnie, lest we mess up our itinerary for the day.” Jeremy sounded like he was reminding Madeline of the time when in truth, he hated the gift.
Shirley’s words last night still echoed in his ears, but he could not tell Madeline that.
Madeline did not delay anymore and placed the aromatherapy kit on the cupboard by the entrance before she left with Jeremy again.
Today’s itinerary was simple and would be over in the afternoon, so Madeline decided that she would buy souvenirs today.
She video called Jackson so that the boy could choose what he wanted for himself.
