Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 40

"Knock knock."

Someone was at the door.

Even though the Serendipity Cafe always had an open-door policy, upon seeing Lucinda and Cecilia deep in conversation, the visitor knocked gently on the door. "Hey there, which one of you is Miss Lucinda?' Cecilia glanced at Lucinda, her eyes asking who this person could be.

Lucinda took in the newcomer, a professionally dressed woman around her late twenties. She was attractive with a good aura about her. Clearly a savvy career woman, she was also carrying a bouquet of flowers.

Stars of Baby's Breath surrounding roses, it was a stunning arrangement.

"That's me, may I know who's asking?" Lucinda admitted easily.

Iris smiled, walked over with the flowers, and introduced herself, "Hi Ms. Moore, I am Mr. Coleman's secretary. He ordered these flowers and asked me to deliver them to you." These were from Stefan.

Lucinda accepted the flowers, expressing her thanks to Iris.

"No need for thanks, Ms. Moore, I have to get going," Iris hurriedly said. As the secretary to the CEO of Ascend Global, every second of Iris' time was precious.

"Iris, would you like to stay for a cup of coffee?"

"Thank you, Ms. Moore, but I don't have the time right now. I'll definitely come by next time."

Mr. Coleman had mentioned that his wife owned this coffee shop. She could let the others at the company know, so they could come here whenever they wanted coffee.

Iris left in a hurry.

Lucinda held the bouquet, examining it closely.
