Ever since Lily and Ryan parted ways in the bar, they haven't contacted with each other for a period of
time. Lily thinks that Ryan may be busy, and he may still have a grudge against her because of their
last conversation. So she doesn't think too much and leaves him alone.
Lily makes almost all the preparations for the florist chain. A lot of people have called to ask about
joining the chain since she opened the florist. She is too busy to handle it, so she leaves it to the
professional manager. Rex thinks it is a pity that Lily can't manage the chain. But Lily doesn't think so.
She didn't expect to make such a big chain when she planned to run a florist. She wants to spend more
time with Adair and Rex, and she hopes to take good care of the family.
Getting busy is not her original aspiration. Moreover, she believes the professional manager can do
well.
Lily still focuses on the first florist. Although she earns a lot of money every day, it isn't important for
her.
The wedding is underway. In the blink of an eye, it is the day to get the wedding gown. Rex has made
time for it in advance. However, he has an important impromptu meeting. He has no choice but to ask
the driver to send Lily over.
Lily leaves it to Pehry. She thinks it is a good chance for Pehry and Journey to meet each other.
Near the end of work, there are more orders in the florist. Most of them are online orders. They need to
make the bouquets before customers come to take them. When they are understaffed, Lily is down-to-
earth and will help clean the workshop and take out the garbage.
There is a recycling facility behind the store. She goes out from the back door and takes out the
garbage. When she turns around, she sees a shadow.
She is frightened and instinctively takes a few steps back. She memorizes the man's appearance with
a single glance.
His skin is whiter than Asians. His dark maroon hair curls naturally. Under the thick bangs is a pair of
European-looking brown eyes. His nose is high and straight. He is sharp-featured, especially his lips,
which were slightly thick but sexy.
He looks like a European as well as an Oriental, a hybrid actually
There are many foreigners in J City, but few of them are as attractive as this man.
Lily's gaze lingers on him for a few seconds but she doesn't think too much. Just as she is about to
leave, the man beside her speaks in local language fluently. He says, "Excuse me, lady. I'm lost. Could
you give me directions?"
"You're lost?"
"Yes, I'm looking for this florist, but I'm not familiar with this area." As he speaks, the man takes out his
phone and shows Lily an online map. The destination is her florist.
Lily is shocked and points at the wall, "This is the florist you're looking for."
"Here?" The man seems a little surprised. He looks around and says, "But I can't find the door."
"You're heading in the wrong direction. I'll take you in through the back door." Lily points at the small
door where she comes out.
The man nods happily and says, "Thank you so much."
The man walks behind Lily. Lily doesn't suspect him and directly leads the way. Behind her, the man
looks at Lily's petite figure with cunning eyes. He looks her up and down curiously.
Is she the barrister's wife?
He thinks she may be a smart woman. However, she looks like an inoffensive college student.
She is more charming than her photos. She is petite, and has Oriental femininity and gentle
temperament. Especially her face is smaller than his palm. He doesn't have the heart to hit her.
Hawk sneers in disdain. Lily turns around to look at him. He immediately put on a kind smile and asks,
"Are we there yet?"
"Here we are." Lily pushes open the door and let the man walk in first. When he passes by her, she
sees a long scar on his wrist. She frowns slightly.
"My wrist was injured in a car accident. Does it scare you?"
Lily is surprised that the man is so perceptive and notices her slight frown.
Lily immediately withdraws her gaze and says, "No, it doesn't. I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter. Everyone thinks it is scary." Hawk knows how to divert people's attention. He walks
to the clusters of bouquets and praises them, "They are beautiful."
"Thank you. Take your time, please."
Hawk walks around in the shop. He seems to be looking at the beautiful flowers, but in fact, he is
looking at the structure of the shop. The shop can be seen quickly at a glance, except for the
workroom.
Gladys comes out from the workroom and sees the man in the middle of the florist, and she asks, "Lily,
who is this? Is he your friend?"
"No, he is a customer."
"Customer? He is charming..." Gladys subconsciously looks at the man.
Lily is amused and says, "Go do you thing."
Hawk notices them whispering, but he pretends to see nothing. He picks up one of the bunches of
flowers and strides towards Lily, "I want to know who is the owner this shop."
Lily looks at him in surprise and says, "I am."
"What a coincidence. I'm here to purchase bouquets on behalf of my company. We have a large
demand and require high quality. Your shop is more in line with our conditions. I wonder if we can have
a long-term cooperation." Hawk hands her his business card.
Lily takes it. On the gilded card, Lily sees the name of a foreign company that she is not familiar with,
as well as the man's name—Oden.
"Oden?"
"Yes," Hawk replies naturally as if it is his real name, "May I know your name?"
Lily thinks that something is strange, but she can't tell what is strange. She politely holds out her hand
and says, "Nice to meet you. My name is Lily."
"Miss Lily, do you have a quotation for the bouquet?" Hawk continues his plan step by step.
Lily nods. Just as she is about to ask Gladys to get the quotation, the phone in her pocket rings. She
takes out the phone and finds that it is Rex calling.
Hawk narrows his eyes when he sees the name on the screen. In the next second, he turns around
and keeps a distance with Lily gently.
Lily answers the phones, "Hey, Rex?"
On the other end of the phone, Rex has just finished the meeting, and he says tiredly, "Are you home
yet?"
"Not yet. I am in the shop and help out. We have a customer here now."
"Customer?" Rex looks at the time and asks, "Is there anyone else late at night?"
"Yes, we're almost done. I'll call you back later."
"OK."
Lily hangs up the phone. Hawk puts on an evil smile. But when he turns around and faces Lily, his
smile is kind. He asks, "Miss Lily, there's my email address on the business card. It's getting late. You
can send the quotation to my email address."
Lily thinks that he may hear the contents of the phone call and he doesn't take up a lot of her time. She
nods apologetically and looks at the bouquet in his hand "OK, this bouquet is for free."
"Really?" Hawk raises his eyebrows and laughs unscrupulously. He gives her a meaningful wink with
his brown eyes. "I'll see you soon."
