âThatâsâ¦â
Feeling a little awkward, Luca covered his face with the bouquet and said, âThe florist next to the pharmacy just opened, and theyâre having a 30% discount. There was a whole crowd buying from them, and I felt a little left out if I didnât. I mean, theyâre so cheapâ¦â
âIs that soâ¦â
âLookâ¦â
Luca handed the bouquet over and said, âEven if I bring it back with me, I have nowhere to put it. So, would you mind if I just leave it here?â
ââ¦â Sam quickly realized Lucaâs intentions and started blushing.
Her cheeks were redder than the roses.
Luca also felt a burning sensation on his face when he said the words.
Fortunately, Sam lowered her head and awkwardly accepted the bouquet.
âThanks, Luca.â
Luca scratched his head in relief, feeling as though a giant burden had been lifted off his chest.
He was sure he had a girlfriend now.
He wouldnât have to worry about getting shown up by Abel any longer!
Luca took out the burn ointment from his suit pocket and said softly, âOh, hereâs the burn ointment. Let me help you apply it.â
âSure,â Sam sheepishly nodded and agreed.
After receiving Lucaâs flowers, she instantly felt as though their dynamic had just undergone a mysterious change.
It was as though⦠there was a sense of belonging. It was a comforting and happy sensation.
Luca felt the same way.
He held up Samâs hand, opened the cap on the ointment, and started carefully applying the medicine using a cotton swab.
As he applied the ointment, he gently blew on her hand.
Sam used this opportunity to take a closer look at Luca.
He had sharp facial features and was considerably handsome. He also gave off a reliable and energetic vibe.
She snagged herself a lucky find!
Sam couldnât help smiling with delight.
Luca asked, âAre you no longer in pain? I see that youâre smiling.â
Sam blushed and said, âThe medicine you bought is very effective. I feel much better already.â
Luca said, âThatâs good. For the time being, try not to get it wet. That way, itâll heal faster.â
âBut I still need to make Ms. Louise and Mr. Abel their coffee.â
âTell me the steps. Iâll do it.â
Sam said, âSure, itâs actually very easy.â
âIâve seen you do it plenty of times, so I vaguely remember how. I can handle it.â
Soon, Luca finished making two cups of coffee under Samâs guidance and packed them up.
âAlright, Iâll be heading back to the office now.â
âOkay,â Sam nodded as she suddenly felt a sense of longing.
Similarly, Luca bade his goodbye, but his feet remained stationary.
Sam said softly, âLuca.â
Luca replied, âYeah?â
âClose your eyes,â Sam gestured with her bright and beautiful eyes.
Luca was confused, âWhy?â
âJust close your eyes when I tell you to.â
Luca obediently shut his eyes.
Sam stood on her toes, pulling his face in as she kissed him on the lips.
After which, she quickly rushed behind the counter and crouched down.
Lucaâs face was a bright red.
His heart was also pounding like crazy.
Oh my God! I didnât know a kiss could feel so good!
Itâs no wonder Mr. Abel is always trying to kiss Ms. Louise.
Sam was hidden under the counter, so Luca couldnât see her face.
He said softly, âSam, Iâm going now.â
âOkay,â Sam replied sheepishly with her head tucked under her arms.
Luca merrily opened the glass door and went on his way with the coffee he had packed.
As he crossed the street, he started whistling.
He mused, The salesperson at the florist was right. I did get a girlfriend after buying her roses.
He wasnât wrong at all.
And my girlfriend even kissed me just now!
This is total bliss!
Over at the CEOâs office.
Two hours had passed.
Abel sat contentedly on the chair while holding onto Emmeline.
Emmelineâs dress was completely drenched in sweat.
Her complexion was also pink like a peach, giving off a sensual radiance.
She was holding onto Abel by the neck and was still trying to catch her breath.
Abel kissed her on the cheek, touching her forehead as he said, âIâll get Kendra to put some more medicine on you once we get back. Otherwise, youâll start hurting again.â
Emmeline paused for a moment before burying her face into his shoulder and said softly, âYou really are the devil. Youâre so rough.â
Abel stroked her back and said, âIâm not being rough. Youâre just not used to me yet. After a few more times, youâll adapt and wonât think of me as being rough. On the contraryâ¦â
