Keegan checked the time and replied, “Perhaps another day.
I have something to do today.’ Instantly, Jaylene looked disappointed.
While she was still feeling down, Keegan unexpectedly inquired, “Do you… like flowers?”
Jaylene paused, and her eyes immediately lit up. “I love them.”
“Would you like to come with me to see some?” Keegan asked once more.
Looking into his eyes, Jaylene felt her heart racing.
“Y-Yes, of course…”
“Let’s go,” Keegan said, leading the way toward the elevators.
Jaylene tightened her grip, trying to calm herself down, and followed him.
Soon, Aldor drove them to the city’s largest flower shop.
Upon entering, the myriad scents of the flowers greeted them, prompting Jaylene to sneeze involuntarily.
The truth was, she didn’t actually like flowers.
Having asthma, she often felt uncomfortable with the potent floral scents.
Despite her job in the fragrance industry, she couldn’t endure prolonged periods in the lab due to her health condition.
She regulated her breathing, trying to acclimate to the overwhelming aroma.
Approaching them, a shop assistant inquired about their preferences.
Surveying the shop, Keegan queried, “Which flowers are usually given to girls?”
The shop assistant smiled, “Roses are the most popular choice for girlfriends.”
Keegan turned to Jaylene, “What do you think about roses?”
