Chapter 94

Chapter 094 It‘s Not A Follower But A Creator There was hustle and bustle all over Poya these days as the annual rose exhibition was about to begini Poya was an ancient city and it boasted the largest antique market in the country. There were always a lot of tourists. What‘s more, the tourism industry had begun to flourish with the revival of the ancient city and the rose exhibition in full swing. The weather was pleasant in May and it was a good time for trips Owen was discharged from hospital. The bandage on his head was removed as the wound had been scabbed, and the bruises on his face disappeared He looked as dashing as he used to be Owen was dressed in casual clothes, black pants and a white shirt. The simple match made him look like a bright and handsome boy who had just graduated from university. As for Hailey, she was wearing a black T–shirt and a pair of white ripped jeans. Her hair was tied into tow short ponytails. She was so youthful and beautiful. The two of them didn‘t discuss what to wear, but what they were wearing made them look like a perfect couple. Hailey didn‘t pay any attention to the people around them but focused on the roses along the road. She hadn‘t been in Poya for three years and had missed the rose exhibitions in the last three years.

The flower exhibitions in the past were only small–scale. They were more like gardeners finding an opportunity to sell the flowers in the market. However, the exhibition now was large–scale. There were NOW various roses all over the streets, and the fragrance was overwhelming. Owen kinda lost in thought when he was quietly staring at Hailey who was squatting on the side of the road and sniffing a gorgeous orange rose called Charlotte Girl. Hailey immersed in the fragrance of flowers. She didn‘t open her eyes ners until someone said Please pack a bunch of flowers for me‘ behind her. Hailey looked back and saw the twinkle in Owen‘s eye. She felt a bit shy, but she still forced a few words to break silence, “The flowers are so pretty” “Could I tell my feeling?” Owen frowned.

Shooting a glance at Owen, Hailey didn‘t wanna reply as she thought he would say something annoying.

At this time, Owen added, “I think you look prettier than the flowers.” Hailey was so surprised to hear it and looked at him with her eyes widened. What Owen said just now didn‘t sound like him at all. The florist handed the wrapped flowers to Owen, saying with a smile, “Young man, you‘re so sweet. This bouquet of Charlotte Girl represents warm and eternal love. May you find your Miss Perfect soon.”

“Thank you.” Taking over the bouquet of flowers, Owen directly handed it to Hailey, “Hailey, it‘s for you.”

Taking a glance at the flowers, Hailey started after tilting her head, “Accepting the bouquet of flowers doesn‘t mean being with you. Right?” “Of course not.” Hailey‘s words were hurting, but Owen still replied with a faint smile.

Owen wouldn‘t expect Hailey to forgive him for merely a bouquet of flowers though he was quite positive about their relationship. “Well, thank you for your flowers.” Hailey was always straightforward.

She generously took the flowers after hearing Owen without embarrassing him in public. Owen was so happy to see that and his expression turned soft. Catching up with Hailey, he walked down the street with her.

Why the rose exhibition in Poya was famous was that many varieties of flowers could only be seen here which were carefully cultivated by gardeners to compete in the rose contest. There was an event of the rose exhibition each year, which was to choose the best rose of the year. Hundreds of rose varieties would be competing while only a few dozens of them would reach the final. And the winner would be decided by sale. The competition was divided into the online and offline parts. So, almost all the florists tried hard to hold campaigns and contact buyers to build the best roses of their stores. The florists would profit more once their roses were selected as the best rose of the year. There would be many derivatives of the rose and advertisers would come to the store one after another. Why Hailey came to this rose exhibition was to decide the main rose variety for her gem series whose theme was rose. When Hailey and Owen arrived at the central flower bed, they saw e–commerce hosts doing live streaming as well as the sales volume that was constantly refreshing on the LED screen. The top three roses were Charlotte Girl, which Owen sent her just now, pink Lonza Girl, and yellow Golden Ceremony. The three kinds of roses had its own characteristic like different beauties. The sales volume of the three kinds of roses was so close that no one would know which would be the winner. “Which kind do you think will be the winner?” Owen asked Hailey with excitement. Hailey said blandly, “I don‘t care which kind will be the winner. I just care about the one I prefer.” Raising his eyebrows, Owen clearly knew Hailey‘s point. Owen had been so pleased when Hailey promised to go to the rose exhibition with him. However, he got to know later that Hailey was supposed to go there for her gem brand. But it was still huge progress for him, as Hailey was willing to attend the exhibition with him.

Owen still needed to try harder to chase Hailey back step by step. Owen knew it clearly and he was being so patient.

Hailey‘s intention was clear that she would make the rose she chose be the Flower King of the year, since it was decided by the sales volume anyway.

Seeing the serious look on Hailey face, Owen tried to comfort her as he thought it hard for her to make up her mind, “The top three kinds of roses have been recognized by the market. No matter which one will be the winner, it can be a trend.” Hailey said after shaking her head, “The recognition of the market is important, but you got me wrong. Newman Jewelry will never follow a trend, since it‘s not a follower but a creator.” Looking at Hailey surprisingly, Owen wasn‘t stunned at her arrogance but her definite attitude. She said it in a calm tone as if what she said just now was the truth. Owen had to admit that Newman Jewelry was really invincible in the fashion industry though it wasn‘t what it used to be. Due to the death of Hailey‘s parents, as well as Morgan, the new chairman who didn‘t know how to run a company well, Newman Jewelry had been going down. What‘s more, the half of the fashion world seemed to stop. Mazedew Jewelry was also a tycoon in the industry, but their advantages were mainly the gem cutting technology and the reputation. As for design and creation, they couldn‘t be compared with Newman Jewelry. Staring at Hailey, Owen was so curious about her choice, “Which kind do you like most?” Hailey answered steadily, “Make a guess.”
