Chapter 14

"But we haven't been able to contact him for a long time. There was a problem with the supply for a while, and we wanted to ask if we could send different flowers, but he never replied."

"Do you know him?"

The shop owner looked up at me, but her expression suddenly became flustered.

"...Ma'am, are you... are you alright?"

I rubbed my sore eyes and waved my hand.

"I'm fine, it's nothing."

The shop owner was very understanding.

She handed me a pack of tissues and brewed me a cup of floral tea.

Then she turned to revive the flowers.

I stayed in the shop for a long while to calm down, and finally chose a bunch of daisies, preparing to leave.

When I was about to pay, the shop owner suddenly called out to me.

"This bouquet is on the house."

I was a bit bewildered.

She had a reminiscent look on her face.

"Ma'am, I remember now. Mr. Sterling said back then that someone might come asking about this order in the future."
