Yesterday, Lukas spent an evening with Elias over drinks. He firmly believed that a true gentleman should never engage in disputes with women. This time, he decided to take the proactive step of going back home, providing Reese an honorable exit from the situation.

Martins, upon witnessing Lukas's decision, finally exhaled a sigh of relief. "What type of flowers do you think we should buy, Mr. Strakovski? Roses, perhaps?"

Having a vague idea about the ongoing situation between Reese and his superior, Martins speculated that Lukas was gearing up to extend an apology to Miss Roberts.

As expected, Lukas affirmed Martins' hunch, albeit with a slight shake of his head regarding the flower choice. "Let's opt for lilies; their symbolism should suffice," Lukas suggested.

Lukas had always harbored a belief that roses were overly conspicuous when it came to conveying sentiments of affection.

Accepting the suggestion, Martins concurred, "Very well, I'll take care of it promptly."

While en route to the office's exit, Martins encountered his typically chilly and composed Mr Strakovski once more, who interjected, "Oh, one more thing!"

Pausing in his tracks, Martins pivoted back with a quizzical expression. "Mr. Strakovski, is there an additional task you require me to address?"

Lukas posed a somewhat awkward question, "Do I come across as oily in these clothes? Does the overall look... come across as appealing?"

Martins shuddered at this question. When did the Mr. Strakovski lose all his confidence?
