âHorace, help me purchase flowers.
Ensure theyâre the freshest in the store.

With that, Theodore departed and entered the dressing room.
Observing his bossâs retreating figure, Horace nearly burst into laughter.

Nevertheless, he nodded subtly to maintain his composure.
Ariana blushed, surprised by Theodoreâs thoughtful gesture.

In fact, she wasnât particularly fond of flowers, but no woman could resist when the man she admired gifted her with them.
Ariana felt delighted yet increasingly anxious about her impending conversation with him.
The dishes served were all her favorites.
It marked the second time she and Theodore had shared such a formal meal.

They quietly consumed their respective dishes, each waiting for the other to initiate a conversation.
The atmosphere was somewhat peculiar.
