The young man who sent the flowers was stunned after hearing her words. "We must fulfill the customer's request, so I will have to make sure that you accept the flowers."
"You can sell them to another person or just throw them away. I really don't want to accept them. If the customer calls you, you can lie about it with some other excuses."
"How can I do that? We should never lie to our customer, Miss Myers."
She didn't expect him to be so headstrong, so she asked, "Can't you be a little more flexible?"
"No, we should never lie to the customer..."
"I don't care because I won't accept them."
She was still happy when she saw the flowers yesterday, but when she received the same gift again this morning, she began to be vigilant.
Who was that mysterious sender?
"Then today I'll follow you until you accept the flowers." The young man put on a determined look.
"Hey, are you threatening me? Don't think that I dare not call the police!"
"Please be considerate toward us. If you refuse to accept the flowers, I will be scolded."
Since Ariah didn't want to make things difficult for him, she said, "OK, I'll take them today. Don't come again tomorrow. You can decline the purchase of the customer if he makes any more orders."
"No, the customer asks me to send lowers to you twice for a month. I will come again tonight."
"What?!"
Shocked, she shouted, "Twice a day? Is he mad? Go away, I won't accept any of his gifts. Don't come any closer, or I'll call the police!"
With that, Ariah slammed the door close. No matter how many times the man knocked on the door, she refused to open it.
Could it be that the sender was a pervert? Otherwise, why would he book flowers for one whole month? He might as make it thrice a day.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Jimmy come out of the bathroom. With a frown, he asked, "What happened to you? Who did you argue with?"
"Who else could it be? The delivery guy from yesterday was here again just now."
Jimmy's expression froze. "Where are the flowers?"
"I chose not to accept them."
"Why?" He frowned upon hearing her answer.
"He must be a pervert. Why should I accept his gift? I don't even know his intention," Ariah explained agitatedly.
After that, she went to the bathroom to wash up without noticing that Jimmy's expression had frozen.
When she came out, the young man who sent flowers came to greet her again. "Miss Myers."
Left with no choice, she sighed and responded, "Give them to me."
Upon handing her what belonged to her, he inquired, "What time are you off work tonight? I'll come over again."
In response, Ariah coldly said, "Stop it. I accepted the flowers because I didn't want to make things difficult for you. Tell your boss that you refuse to deliver the flowers to me, or else I will call the police. Your boss will definitely accept this reason."
Startled, the young man hesitated for a few seconds and left.
Ariah then snorted, "It's just hilarious!"
Upon uttering that, she threw the flowers directly into the trash can and was about to walk toward
the elevator.
Just then, Jimmy lost his temper and yelled, "Why did you throw them away? I seldom give women flowers."
Disbelief instantly welled up in her chest. "T-Those are your gifts?"
Then why didn't he admit it earlier?
"Why didn't you tell me last night?"
At that moment, she understood why he looked so gloomy when she threw the flowers away last night.
"Who else could it be? Who else would know all your details? Your name, your address, and the time you come back. I was the one who gave you the surprise."
If she knew that it was he who sent it, she would not have been so suspicious.
"I like the flowers very much. You are allowed to simply break your promise."
Ariah held the flower in her hands with a joyful expression, for she really looked forward to the gift tonight.
Without responding to her, Jimmy smiled jovially by her side.
After sending her to the hospital, Jimmy drove directly to the police station.
As soon as he arrived at the office, David pushed the door of his office open and passed him a stack of documents. "This is the information you asked for."
However, Jimmy didn't even look up as he ordered, "Bring the documents here."
David thus put what he had found on Jimmy's desk.
Once Jimmy opened the documents and scanned through the content, he frowned.
David, who sat opposite himm, started to get worried.
Narrowing his deep eyes, Jimmy leaned against the back of his chair and inquired, "Have you found out where the house owner works?"
"Yes, I will bring you there when you are free."
"Good to know that," Jimmy praised him.
David's face was thus full of pride. "Of course, I've been with you for so many years. I can always know what you want."
Staring at him for a long time, he remarked, "You are smart, but you are also too narcissistic."
David could find no words to refute his superior.
In Jimmy's mind, no one was as cultured as he was.
As he got up, he said, "I'm free now. Let's go and meet them." "OK."
