Chapter 08

"I have nothing to do with you. I came here to pick Mr Gilbert up."

--

Kenzie forced his way in but was blocked by Flower.

"Wait outside!" Flower's snarls combined with a sharp gaze as sharp as a blade that was thrust straight into his heart.

"Okay, Miss..."

"Flower, you can call me Flower, but just call me Flow."

"Okay, Miss Flow. I'll be waiting outside." At the same time, he asked Flower to go inside immediately.

Unable to argue, Kenzie waited impatiently. 'I hope nothing terrible happens to Mr Gilbert.' He thought.

While waiting, he was angry and repeatedly rubbed his face roughly.

"Who is that woman? Why won't she let me in?" He wondered.

The corners of his eyes glanced back briefly at the door, which was still closed tightly. The feeling of impatience was getting more and more shackled, forcing him to press the bell. However, before that happened, the door opened first, showing the billionaire who looked pale.

Kenzie rushed over, embracing his master's body. "Sir, are you alright?"

Before Darren could answer, his muscular body was pushed from the inside. Luckily, Kenzie supported him firmly so that his master's body didn't hit the floor.

"Are you alright, sir?" Kenzie asked again. After that, his gaze turned towards Flower, raining down on her with a glare.

"Presumptuous! Insolent! You don't know who you're dealing with right now, do you?"

Not liking to be yelled at had made the hazel eyes squirm even more fiercely.

"Hey, strangers! Listen to me carefully. I don't like dealing with strangers like you guys so, get out of here right away! Get this drunk man out of here and remember, never set foot in my apartment again!"

"How dare you! How come an ignorant woman like you insults the billionaire!"

"Nonsense!" Flower snapped. At the same time, she slammed the door so hard that it made a banging sound.

"That woman is so arrogant," Kenzie growled.

"Forget it, don't mind her. Take me to my room!"

"Alright, sir."

Darren has been taken to an elevator that would take him up to the floor where his room was located.

"You seem to have a fever. How about I call a private doctor..."

"That's not necessary!" Darren interrupted quickly.

"Alright, sir."

Even though Kenzie didn't have the heart to his master's condition, however, there was nothing he could do. As a subordinate, there seemed to be nothing he could do but obey the master's order.

Flower rushed to get ready. Meanwhile, her phone didn't stop ringing.

Ragged breaths accompanied the roar of her breath. "Who the hell calls me? So disturbing." She growled without any intention of glancing at the phone screen.

She then applied make-up with light powder mixed and matched with blushing pink lipstick.

The corner of her eye seemed to glance back at the phone screen that was ringing again.

"Huh, what a disturber!"

She immediately grabbed her favourite phone. Her hazel eyes bulged perfectly when she got a call from Karyl.

"Hello."

"Where are you, Flow?"

"My apartment."

The answer from the other end had made Karyl gasp.

"In the apartment?" Karyl couldn't believe it.

"Listen to me, Miss Flow. Your photoshoot is only a few minutes away, and you're still in the apartment. Oh My Flow, I can't believe this. C-mon, act professionally, Miss Flower Carnabel."

"Have you finished talking?" Flower snapped.

"Hh mm,"

"One thing you should know that the one to blame for all this is a stranger, Gilbert."

"Don't tell me Mr Gilbert is still in your apartment?"

"A few minutes ago, he was. But now I've kicked him out."

The last word that tickled the ear had made Karyl cover her own mouth with a palm. "Uh, Flow. What you just said sounds pathetic, and do you know what?"

"What?"

"I'm glad to hear that. The point is I wasn't too hurt by your togetherness last night." Karyl replied in cynicism.

"Shitttt, you lack empathy. If you're interested in him, then take him! I, Flower Carnabel, have no interest in him anymore."

"Mr Gilbert is not something you can throw at will, you idiot!" Karyl snapped cynically.

"He is only a man who lacks ethics, just plays with accusations, and also lacks gratitude. It seems that it's more appropriate to compare him to a used can, and I, Flower Carnabel, never want to deal with used goods."

"You want to die, huh?!"

"Up to you."

'What's clear is that I'm so sick of Gilbert's name.' Flower continued in her heart.

"You're annoying, Karyl. Because of you, I'm running out of time." Flower was furious, and at the same time, she grabbed the car key. She didn't forget her favourite Gucci bag that looked neatly wrapped around her left arm.

Unfortunately, Flower had to be heartened. This morning her patience was really tested with the mess Darren had created.

"What are you doing here, huh?" She asked sarcastically. Moreover, she didn't like it when her ex-fiance came to her apartment.

"Oh, Flow. Should you ask such a sad thing, huh? Wasn't you the one who asked me to come here? If you forgot, let me remind you that..."

"Enough! You don't need to continue! Listen to me, I accidentally called you and right now, I'm in a hurry to the shooting location. I'm going first. Bye, Jason." She gently patted the stocky shoulder along with the steps towards the elevator.

Unfortunately, her steps were stopped by a firm grip wrapped around her wrist.

"Answer me, Flow. What do you mean by wrongly contacting me? Does that mean that you still have feelings for me?"

Flower looked annoyed, and at the same time, she half tilted her face as if to clarify.

"What did you just say? Can you repeat it one more time!"

Stupidly, Jason did as she was told. No doubt, he received a hard slap from his ex-fiancé.

"Shit, why did you even slap me?" His anger was combined with a smouldering stare because he didn't like his pride to be lowered by a woman.

Flower's steps were getting closer, combined with a deadly gaze. "A despicable man like you deserves to be humiliated, even treated very badly!"

"You!" He growled. At the same time, his one hand was swinging in the air.

Meanwhile, Flower's luscious lips seemed to have a smirk on her face. "Why did you stop, huh? Slap! Come on, slap me!"

Jason's body instantly froze. His gaze was filled with regret. "I didn't mean to be rude or hurt you."

"Once a lowly status, it will remain that way forever, and that's you, Mr cheater."

"Listen to me, Flow. I'm not cheating, but it was your sister, Rose Gardenia, who set me up on purpose."

"And you think I'll just believe what you say, huh?" Flower seemed to bring her face covered with a disgusted look.

"To me, anything that comes out of your mouth is bullshit!"
