She sobbed, "Nathan, daisies are so much better than roses. A single rose stands alone, just so lonely. But daisies, they bloom together like sisters, sharing their beauty. Even when they fade, they're never alone. I don't want to be a rose; I want to be a daisy."
"Well, if that's what makes you happy, I'll plant a whole field of daisies for you."
"But we don't have a garden of our own."
"We will one day."
The memory tugged Nathalie back, her eyes welling with tears.
She quietly sniffled, trying to keep her emotions in check, "I like daisies too."
The assistant in the front seat let out a sarcastic snort. He couldn't hold back anymore. "Miss, since you climbed into the car, you've either been using the excuse of gratitude to measure my boss or pretending to be into his interests. We've seen plenty like you."
Nathalie felt a wave of embarrassment and wished she could vanish. She hurriedly explained, "I... I don't have any ulterior motives. I'm just being honest. I... oh, forget it. Think what you like."
Saying more would only make it seem like she was trying to cover something up.
Suddenly, the man spoke up, "My assistant was out of line. Just because you like daisies doesn't mean you're trying to win me over. Maybe I'm the one trying to win you over."
The assistant was left speechless.
Nathalie sighed deeply at his understanding.
As the car reached the corner, Nathalie quickly said goodbye to the man, "I live just around here, so I'll hop out. Goodbye, sir."
But he called after her, "How long will it take to finish the clothes?"
"About a week."
"Alright, I'll see you then."
"Oh," Nathalie replied, a bit surprised.
Then she hurried off.
The assistant looked back at the man, confused. "Sir, she's clearly trying to get on your good side..."
"Obviously, I'm the one trying to get on hers."
