Lobby of Stanton Tower.
As soon as Nicole got out of the car, Kai floored the accelerator and left in a huff.
He was throwing a tantrum.
Hehe...
"Ms. Stanton...”
A familiar voice called out. Nicole turned around and saw Toto running over while panting. He held a blue rectangular custom-made box in his hands.
Nicole's eyes sank, slightly speechless.
Eric kept pestering her. He was becoming more and more shameless.
Toto handed the blue box over. "Good morning, Ms. Stanton. Mr. Ferguson carefully selected these for you. It was just flown in from New Zealand. He hopes you’ll like it."
He opened it directly without waiting for Nicole to speak.
Inside was a bouquet of delicate red roses, bright and fragrant. There was dew on the petals and the leaves were gorgeous, making them look warmer and redder than ordinary roses.
Many people were coming and going at the entrance o f Stanton Corporation.
It was clear that Eric wanted to attract everyone's attention and declare his sovereignty.
Nicole naturally saw through his nasty thoughts.
She did not answer and looked at Toto indifferently.
"I don't need it. Take it back."
Toto rubbed his hands and narrowed his eyes in a smile, saying unhurriedly, "Ms. Stanton, although you moved out of Imperial Gardens, some parcels are still being delivered there. I put them aside for you..."
Nicole froze. She almost forgot that she bought quite a lot of things when she was at Imperial Gardens previously.
"Thank you, Toto."
Her voice softened, not as cold as before.
Toto waved his hand. "Don't be so polite. Such noble flowers can only match a noble person like you. The flowers were picked for you, so if you don’t accept them, their beauty would go to waste."
Nicole could not help but smile as she took the box.
"I'll only accept them this time. It won’t happen again."
She accepted them only because it was Toto.
"Sure thing!”
Toto grinned and sighed in relief when he saw Nicole walk inside. Then, he returned to a low-profile but
expensive Range Rover not far away.
