Downstairs.

Orson hadn't expected Rupert to come down so quickly. He scrambled out of the car to meet him, only to notice Rupert still had the folder he'd taken upstairs.

"Mr. Rupert, did Ms. Lloyd refuse it? But isn't this school the one she wanted most?"

"You know, as soon as she said she wanted to study further, you were the first to reach out and help her get this interview. It took a lot of convincing to make it happen."

Rupert shoved the folder into Orson's arms. "Find a way to let her know. Just don't let her find out it was me who arranged it."

"Mr. Rupert..."

But Rupert didn't reply. He just got in the car and drove off.

Orson let out a long sigh before starting the engine and heading away.

The next day, Sylvia received another bouquet from Lester.

This time, he was definitely bolder. The flowers he'd sent before had been pretty subtle, just little hints here and there.

The soft, pastel colors instantly brightened up the entire office.

Sylvia tidied the arrangement, snapped a quick selfie holding the flowers, and sent it to Lester.
