Chapter 29

After being made to wait for a while. Flower came out of the supermarket with a plastic bag in her right hand. Darren asked softly. "Are you done, Ms. Flower?"

Flower nodded.

Darren snatched the plastic bag from the woman's hand and then took its contents. "What's this?" Turning his face to the woman, demanding an answer from her.

Before answering the man's question, the man has already asked the following question. "Is this a cake?" He asked innocently.

'Oh My God, that's not cake, Mr. Gilbert, but pads." Flow screamed in her heart.

"Ms. Flower, you haven't answered my question. Is this a cake? Because I've never seen one."

To Flow, the question was amusing. 'He thinks that's a cake? Lord, have I sinned against this man? He's so innocent.'

"Ms. Flower, I have a serious question. Why won't you explain?"

Flower hid her laughter by biting her lip. 'Lord, should I tell him it's woman pads?'

His handsome face flashed impatiently, waiting for the woman's answer. Finally, Flower decided to tell, then gave a code for Darren to bring his face closer. After that, she whispered in the man's ear. "This is a woman's pads, not cake."

"What's a woman pad? Is it some diet medicine?"

Flower could no longer face the man's innocence. Immediately grabbed the plastic bag from the man's hand, then ran away from him.

"Ms. Flower, wait!" However, the woman ignored him. Darren ran after her, grabbing her wrist. "Didn't you hear my call?"

"Sorry, your voice is too low, so I can't hear it." Biting the corner of her lips.

"How about we chat over a hot coffee over there?" The index finger points to a cafe across the street.

Flower glanced at the clock on her wrist. "Sorry, Mr. Gilbert. Maybe another time."

"It's only 11:15 p.m. I don't think there's anything wrong with having a warm drink while chatting casually. Come on." He guides the woman to the cafe.

"I'd better put this in the room first." Glancing at the plastic bag in her hand.

"That will take time, Ms. Flower."

"But Mr. Gilbert-"

"Let me carry it."

"Um, don't-"

"No problem." He seizes the plastic bag from Flower's hand.

Darren looked relaxed, carrying a plastic bag containing sanitary napkins. Many pairs of eyes glanced at him, smiling, amused when they saw a CEO to the title of a billionaire on the street wearing a nightgown while carrying a plastic bag filled with sanitary napkins. Gosh, a sight like this looks ridiculous, yet, it's also amazing.

Arriving at the cafe, he glanced around. Darren's eyes check every corner of the room, are looking for a place to sit outdoor so that it can spoil the eyes with the night view of the City of London.

"Would you agree if we sat there?"

Flowers frowned. "Are you sure?" Which was answered with a wink, then guided the woman. "Please have a seat, Ms. Flower."

"Thank you." To which he responded with a warm smile.

Darren's eyes stare straight ahead. "Look over there, Ms. Flower. The night view of London it's just amazing."

"You are right, Mr. Gilbert." Then she turned to look at the man, how surprised she was to find the man only wearing a nightgown. An amused smile engraved on her lips. 'Oh My God, how come I just realized this?'

All pairs of eyes in the cafe were also looking at him with the same gaze. It made Darren wonder. 'What's wrong with my appearance? Why are they all looking at me weird?'

Darren immediately lowered his face to glance at himself. Knowing he was only wearing a nightgown took him by surprise. 'Oh My God, so they all looked at me amused because of this. Are you also amused to look at me, Ms. Flower?'

As if indifferent to his appearance. He was acting normal. "What would you like to drink, Ms. Flower?" He slides the menu book towards the woman.

Flower ordered a green tea latte, and so did Darren. "Do you like green tea latte?"

Flower nodded.

"You too, right?"

"No, it's just that tonight I want to try it. At least I know what kind of drink the iconic BM Magazine model likes." Wink at the woman.

Darren's teasing managed to make Flower shy until her cheeks turned red. He spoils the eyes by the woman's face, which he thought was adorable, making him constantly review a charming smile.

Flower bit the corner of her lips. 'Oh My God, why is this man's smile so intoxicating?'

"Would you like to order a menu dinner?"

Flower shook her head.

"Snack?"

Again, she shook her head.

"I know. Models like you are required to maintain weight, right?" Darren asked with a probing look. Meanwhile, Flower chose to respond with a thin smile, so he didn't know that Flower Carnabel was smiling.

Both are talking about each other's lives. From this conversation, Darren knew that Flower was not arrogant and haughty. After getting to know her, the woman was full of tenderness and warmth.

Likewise with Darren. The man was not as annoying as she thought. He has an alluring aura. Besides that, he is also very handsome. Even his good looks make women worship him like worshiping the handsomeness of Greek gods.

The waiter came over and put the dishes on the table. "Please enjoy your drink, sir," She said, hiding an amused smile.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome, sir. Excuse me."

After the waiter left, Flower leaned her face forward in a whisper. "It seems like everyone is staring in amusement at you."

"You too, right?" Flower responded with a chuckle. To Darren, the woman's expression in front of him was adorable.

"Tell me how you started your career as a model to become an icon of BM Magazine? We all know that BM Magazine is one of today's most prestigious magazines."

There was nothing wrong with what Darren asked. It's just that the question is like re-scratch wounds from the past.

Pampered with a beautiful face covered in deep sadness has made Darren ambushed with guilt. "Is there something wrong with my question, Ms. Flower?"

Flower shook her head with a smile that seemed forced. Darren brought his face closer. More precisely, looking at the beautiful face looking for honest answers there. "Are you okay?"

Flower nodded.

Flower's eyes felt hot. For that, she blinked so that the tears did not come out. Moreover, she does not like to look fragile in front of anyone.

Again, Darren asked. "Are you okay?"

A smile was etched on Flower's lips so the man wouldn't suspect that she was sad. "I'm fine, Mr. Gilbert."

'I know that you are not fine, Ms. Flower. I can see very clearly that your eyes radiate sadness. And I will soon find out what is the cause of your sadness?' Darren mumbles.

They were so busy chatting that they forgot that it was already 02.00. Flower remembers tomorrow morning will there is a photoshoot. For that, she immediately said goodbye to go home.

"Let me drive you home. Come on." He reached out a hand which was immediately warmly welcomed.

Currently, the two are walking hand in hand, and at first glance, the two of them look like a romantic lover couple.

Because Flower is not being careful, a black sedan almost hit her. Luckily Darren moved quickly. The man shook his head. "This is the 3rd time I've saved you. You have to be careful, and it looks like you need a bodyguard." He teased by bringing his face closer. "How about I be your bodyguard? Do you agree?" While raised an eyebrow waiting for the woman's answer.
